i was not gonna watch it since i thought it will be bad like his last 2 dramas but the director and screenwriter…
His only bad drama last year is Love & Crown which RJL was forced to film to leave his agency. The Demon Hunter Romance was highly praised and is a hit at China. While Silent Tides received 3% ratings when it was aired at CCTV last year. Countless newspapers praised the writing and plot of the story. Both of dramas received high douban ratings as well.
If you are talking about bad ending, this drama would be a HEA as the writer told us last year.
He has been taking serious scripts back to back after he leaves H&R. First Silent Tides which is written by…
I would recommend anything he did after Under the Power with the exception of Love and Crown. I love his script selections. They are among the best in the industry. πβ€οΈ
After *Fate Chooses You*, weβre expecting his modern detective drama *Abyss*, which is also produced by a strong…
You said you gonna cry when you watch FCY since it might be his last so I thought you meant XianXia genre. Sorry to have misunderstood your comment.
He is known as God of Costume dramas after all so he will still take them. The one he probably wont take anymore is XianXia dramas.
He is rumoured for CCTV1 Tang Dynasty Epic for his next project. So if the schedule is right, he will take them as the shooting will start in October. Really hope he will get this role since this will be his first serious historical epic drama.

Most actors grew out of XianXia genres. They will transition to more serious dramas after a while. If he keep taking this kind of roles, then you have to get worried as it meant he failed to transition to more serious roles.
With RJL taking CCTV1 project like Silent Tides and serious crime drama like Abyss, it meant he got the industry recognition for his acting skills.
I understand what you meant though. But in term of career, Im happy he got offered all this qualitu scripts from the industry. Im just so happy as a fan.

Hes been choosing his own scripts since the massive success of Under the Power in 2020. One & Only, Forever & Ever, Mr Lizard, Blue Whisper, Burning Flames, Twilight, Love of Nirvana, Demon Hunter, Silent Tides and Abyss are all his own selections. These are all external projects that he took even when hes in H&R. Thats why you noticed its all have the same flavour which deal with important and serious topics and not solely focus on romance.
When he needs to do Love & Crown for his ending contacts agreement, only then you can see the massive drop in quality of his script.
Sad ending like Love of Nirvana doesnt necessarily mean the drama is bad, the journey is more important than the destination and thats what Chinese audiences appreciate in their dramas. That is why RJL has many iconic roles in his resume since he brought to life these characters even though some of them have tragic ends.
For those who read this, he only die in 4 of his dramas (Autumn Cicada, One & Only, Love of Nirvana and Love & Crown). He has acted in more than 20 dramas as a lead. So yes, do not belive what you read on the internet about him being a King of Tragic endings. Cheng Yi or Liu Yuning has more death than him for an example lol.
I want Allen ren to do more serious dramas after this but I really hope after this atleast he takes one modern…
He has been taking serious scripts back to back after he leaves H&R. First Silent Tides which is written by an award winning Fengtian writer. And also crime drama Abyss which is also helmed by another strong team. His next rumour drama is CCTV1 Tang Dynasty Epic where he will play the adult version of Li Shimin.
The only drama of his with terrible script for the past 5 years is Love & Crown which he is forced to film to leave H&R. Both Demon Hunter Romance and Love of Nirvana are praised for the its quality script. And Fate Chooses You are set to be another excellent work from him since both the director and writer have many hit dramas under them. I'm a big fan of the writer actually since she loves writing scripts that made you think out of the box and a bit philosophical.
This is a misconception that has been spread around which has no truth. He only has 5 sad ending dramas and 12 happy ending dramas and 2 open ending dramas.
Ren Jialun has only 4 dramas where he died. He has many happy ending dramas which is 14 dramas. And this drama is a confirmed happy ending. The writer told us last year. π
And before anyone asking about kissing scenes, his last drama with kissing scenes is Demon Hunter's Romance which is last year.
That said, I can't wait for this drama. The story sound great and amazing with many high stakes situations.
Aww, thank you for your sweet comment. I really appreciate it. π€π€ Yes, there is a lot of nuance and details…
This is truly amazing observations. You are right regarding the white outfits of the Qiao's siblings. π’The details put in the drama is indeed magnificent. I love how you noticed the sweet soup since we can see it appears many times in the drama since the first episode.
His dramas with sad endings are only 5 (Tang Dynasty, Autumn Cicada, One & Only, Love of Nirvana and Love & Crown) out of his 20 dramas.
His last drama with a kissing scene is Demon Hunterβs Romance last year. What justice are you talking about? π
If you are talking about bad ending, this drama would be a HEA as the writer told us last year.
Also, Im glad he ended his XianXia dramas with a capable writer. So, we could expect another highly rated douban drama for him for FCY, hopefully.

She told her future dramas which is Feud and Fate Choses You will be long satisfying happy endings.
