It was supposed to have a s2 i have known about ths for a long time but can't Start it just because of ths
I understand your frustration. I’ve put this series on hold for now, but at least I know it exists. There should be a rule stating that if another season is planned, the delay to air it should be less than two years, or the entire series should be produced all at once and aired at different times to respect the freaking stupid 40 episodes max.
Yes, I realize this is idealistic—considering budgets, actor availability, and the uncertainty of whether Season 1 will succeed. There are many reasons for delays.
How did I miss this drama? I love seeing Shawn Dou in costume; the production quality is great. if not YT, I would have missed it! However, it hasn't received high ratings. I adore long series and might be in the minority, but for me, 75 episodes are not too long. It provides the depth I crave to understand each character and their intricacies and development. I don't like open-ended conclusions; I prefer happy endings. However, knowing that it has a bittersweet ending in advance means I won't be too disappointed by the last episode and can prepare myself adequately.
Ik I'm gonna get hate to put an opinion on this, so I'm not gonna say anything. But imo it's wasn't bad, isn't…
Wow you really fear those groupies aren’t you? This is a chat forum and everyone is entitled to its opinion. Share away! It is refreshing to read something different.
In the letter from Ye Qing Mei to Fan Xian in S1 E28 41:30, it mentions that "Zenqi is not real, it is only a…
If interested, go read the comment section under my review of JoL2. I shared a lot (and I mean A LOT) of novel spoilers. If interested, contact me in private so I can give you the link… and no reading the review is not mandatory lollll
Chinese Scriptwriters and directors are sure interesting fellows.….Incest but not in the end, but the misunderstanding…
Endless topic loll I understand the dubbing of their own voice, but I do not know why to select another actor or actress unless they truly suck... Which is a possibility, lol I wonder how many actors and actresses we like are truly them in the end, uh? Honest question here. Out of the 100+ and those we are swooning because of their esthetic appearance, which one borrows another voice? It reminds me of those authors who put their name on the book, but another wrote it. Cheating, uh?
It is difficult for me to be a fan of Hello Kitty and similar. Yet millions of adults love those. I don't critic here, I personally recently discovered Donghua anime and became obsessed, and I am way past my teenage years, lol
But this disguised taboo, aka phantasms in dramas, childish actresses play, .. I do not think it is cultural, but coming from sick minds. They are lucky to work in the entertainment industry and know the tricks of censorship. Again, there is a public/fans for that. So I am puzzled.
My tolerance limit is generally 2-3 episodes. After that, the heroine must break the victim mold and show me her sasssiness, independent adult self she is supposed to have, or I drop the drama. Zero tolerance for childish voice and acting and dummy characters.
Chinese Scriptwriters and directors are sure interesting fellows.….Incest but not in the end, but the misunderstanding and idea is still there.… childish innocent young girl acting like 12 years old played by actresses from 20 to over 35… heroine bullied and humiliated… old perverts… forced seduction… dummies heroines dominated by male heroes because of course females are inferior to mighty males (sarcasm)…
Yup. Most dramas use those. Same with novels. At the endit all depends on the script, actors, and how it is portrayed, written, and played. In novels, words matter.
I have very little patience for watching those, but I understand that they can be necessary evils to justify the villains within the story.
On the other hand, we see endless standoffish kisses that look like individuals are kissing a mirror or a wall. This supposedly portraying the idea of pure eternal love. Lolll
However, once in a while, we have a perfect combination of script, directors, casting, OST, post-production team, makeup, martial arts, and costumes.. The full package.
The rise of Ning is not one of them. It is entertaining but not memorable, and at times, it's a bit annoying.
In the novel's frame story, a sentient Stone, left over when the goddess Nüwa mended the heaven aeons ago, wants to enjoy the pleasures of the "red dust" (the mundane world). The Stone begs a Taoist priest and a Buddhist monk to take it with them to see the world. The Stone, along with a companion (in Cheng-Gao versions they are merged into the same character), is then given a chance to learn from human existence, and enters the mortal realm. In the Cheng-Gao versions, he is reborn as Jia Baoyu ("Precious Jade") – thus "The Story of the Stone".
The novel provides a detailed, episodic record of life in the two branches of the wealthy, aristocratic Jia (賈) clan—the Rongguo House (榮國府) and the Ningguo House (寧國府)—who reside in large, adjacent family compounds in the capital. The capital, however, is not named, and the first chapter insists that the dynasty is indeterminate.[16] The ancestors of the two families were made Chinese nobility and given imperial titles, and as the novel begins the houses are two of the most illustrious families in the city. One of the Jia daughters is made a Royal Consort, and to suitably receive her, the family constructs the Daguanyuan, a lush landscaped garden, the setting for much of subsequent action. The novel describes the Jias' wealth and influence in great naturalistic detail, and charts the Jias' fall from the height of their prestige, following some thirty main characters and over four hundred minor ones.
As the carefree adolescent male heir of the family, Baoyu in this life has a special bond with his sickly cousin Lin Daiyu, who shares his love of music and poetry. Baoyu, however, is predestined to marry another cousin, Xue Baochai, whose grace and intelligence exemplify an ideal woman, but with whom he lacks an emotional connection. The romantic rivalry and friendship among the three characters against the backdrop of the family's declining fortunes form the central story.
episode 5 …The background music when they talk is too loud. Dang. Another poor post-production team. Sound effects and music are distracting and not that good. Makeup looks excessive. I'm not impressed. FL voice, regardless if it is her own or not, is annoying. Otherwise, Actors are decent in general. So far, so good, still not dropping.

Still, I feel angry when Season 2 doesn’t appear.
The guy with the foot fetish who picks his nose really annoys me. Once it ist is okay, but when it happens repeatedly on screen, it’s no longer funny.
So many actors and actresses recast from joy of life. I wonder if it was because of covid or same casting crew
