I think many people has problem with how the writer basically punish all the good guys while giving redemption arcs to evil people. That is some messed up moral when you think about it deeply.

Xiao Huan death is a relief after all the crap the writer made him go through in this drama.

She loves him a lot though? For anyone to think otherwise must be watching a different drama lol.

How many sad ending dramas that PXR has? Aside from this drama & Goodbye My Princess?

Ok.

That's not true. With the zero marketing Youku did for this drama, it reached S level at Yunhe so they probably making money for this drama since there is no promotion expenses they have to consider for the gross profit. Not gonna defend the douban ratings since Huanrui's scripts are always bad in my book.

It's not even my opinion. I'm just saying what the Cnetz and the writer are saying about his performance in this drama. None of this is my opinion.

I think you need to define what is flop in your comment. This douban ratings are indeed low and truthfully, we all kind of expect it since it's Huanrui script. The only saving grace of this drama is that actors' performances.

But in term of viewership, for Love & Crown, the drama probably going to reach 10m/ep despite the zero marketing the drama received. Sword & Beloved is around 14m/ep right now. While Red Moon pact that is actually higher with with 16m/ep.

No, that's not what happend in Bloody Romance. FL was given a lot of points but they made her overly white to the point of stupidity since she even merciful to evil people and let them go to keep doing more evil things. The one who sidelined is the ML who was given nothing aside from simping the FL as his main storyline. The one who are treasured are the 2ML and his tragic potrayal. I did not like this writer so imagine my fear to see her as a writer for this drama.

It was life threateningly bad. You are right. I think I never feel more frustrated than watching that drama. Cang Cang here is a saint compared to the FL in Bloody Romance. The drama is so bad that I actually want sad ending her lol. It is truly a gift when you actually want the main characters to have bad ending to how terribly they are written.

I think they just missed 1 scene on how the leads supposed to reconcile afer that. Since without that, she appeared like she was so self absorbed even after learning the truth and all his sacrifices and devotion towards her. I wonder what the writer is thinking when she didn't put that scene and quickly move on to another arc in the drama. You give so much angst for 20 episodes and after knowing the truth, no pay off to that angst. What a bad writing lol.

Yeah, in order for him to leave, he has to film this. So, he really didn't have a choice. Having used to watch the quality that his dramas offered, watching this is truly a struggle.

And you are right. The casts did so so well. All of them.

It's not though? He is widely praised for his acting in here. The script is truly a mess but for the acting, the one constant praise are toward him and how he interprete the character. He excellently portrayed his great yearning towards Cang Cang. Viewers find him so compelling in that character since XH can be viewed unfavourably due to what he is forced to do to Cang Cang but he play that character so heartbreakingly that forced you to understand his reasons despite to can't really excuse him.

The original book writer also praised him on how he makes her XH character comes to live in this drama. She explained how RJL put nuance in that potrayal and how the drama makes XH more complex than in her book XH. The way RJL portrayed how affectionate-starved XH is just so heartbreaking to watch.

For LBFAD ending, probably not full happy ending to you since all that narrative that he comes back and they kiss are just merely seconds. So, it is not a good emotional pay off.

Well at least she said XH is benevolent king and she will help him on his missions.

But I think they forget the leads' reconciliation scenes. 🤣

They probably hold it after the confrontation with her Dad. To make the reconciliation more impactful.
But the script is indeed a mess. I can't believe what I'm watching.

Just watch the latest episode. She figure out by her own despite everyone keeping secrets from her. She is not stupid.

This is Huanrui scripts. They are known to be a mess. He is forced to film this drama for free in order to end his contract. This is not the usual standard of his scripts since he didn't chose this. That's why fans dread to watch this drama.

His last kissing scene is his drama 6 months ago which is The Demon Hunter's Romance. He played all types of roles be it cold, aloof, socially awkward, naive, bubbly, sarcastic, ruthless, etc and are known to challenge different kind roles in his dramas. Just because his most popular dramas are him playing restrained characters, it doesn't mean all his dramas are like that. 😅

At China right now, despite the drama has been criticised for the writing, his acting is widely praised for getting the essence of the roles required of him. It's okay not to like an actor.

And there are many things that happened in the drama though? What do you mean by nothing happened? They save the kids from the cave, kill ghost king, talent system, concubine selection, arc with 2 cities need saving, peace with Xinjiang, getting rid of verification system, revelation of Xianxue still alive and etc etc etc. So many things happened.

Bloody Romance is even worst. The FL in Bloody Romance is even more frustrating than Cang Cang. At least Cang Cang has reasons because she was kept in the dark by everyone but FL in Bloody Romance can't even kill bad guys despite she is an assassin. That drama is very horrible for me. Much more horrible than this drama.

She also has to come out and defend her screentime in Blood River. 😭

You missed the points that he never has any evidence of her father's evil deeds. And telling her that her father is evil without any evidence would cause another misunderstanding. So he keep his silent to protect her innocent. Don't worry. Just watch today's episode.

This is normal with Huanrui scripts unfortunately. RJL was forced to film this in order to leave the agency. Still, he gives Xiao Huan so much depth despite the mess of a script. I'm actually super impressed lol. Xiao Huan seemed so morally layered, heartbreakingly tragic and complex. And he achieved to show all this facets of the character with this kind of script.
