Thank you for your support! Though I remember we have different opions in POJ comments, but that's fine 😂 People are always going to have different opinions. I just don't want biased comments to influence people who haven't watched the drama yet. 🫠
1. About the flower field scene: they obviously couldn't burn a real flower field, so it was filmed with a green…
Don't you know that Douban has become a gathering place for fans of other actors who hate Zhang Linghe? You should spend more time on Xiaohongshu instead. That's where the normal people are.
All I can say is that there are both fair critics and haters in the comments. If you're unsure whether to watch this drama, I'd suggest giving the first five episodes a try before deciding. Republican-era dramas have a very different atmosphere and storytelling style from historical or modern dramas. If you've never watched one before, it may take a little time to get used to it. And if it's still not your thing after that, that's completely fine.
The information I can share is that the drama has received far more positive than negative feedback in China, and its popularity is continuing to rise. People who have read the original script have also said the story is excellent. It follows the intense, emotionally charged style that Republican-era dramas are known for.
Why do people get so triggered by criticism? Can understand if they really love the drama but you shouldnt be…
1. About the flower field scene: they obviously couldn't burn a real flower field, so it was filmed with a green screen and CGI. Many xianxia and historical dramas use the same approach, so I'm not sure why it's suddenly an issue here.
2. As for the pacing, the emotional moments take time because they need proper buildup. The story also throws a lot of information at the audience because it's intentionally complex. It has a mystery element, so many of the questions you're asking are answered gradually over the following episodes rather than all at once.
3. Regarding the ML, he has a love-hate relationship with the FL because she betrayed and used him three years ago. I can understand why he forcefully kissed her, even if people don't agree with it. If you're patient, the later episodes explain what he's been through over the past three years. He grew up without love, and his personality is intentionally written as flawed.
4. I agree that the cinematography isn't at the same level as POJ, but compared with many other dramas, I still think it's above average.
These are just my thoughts after reading a lot of feedback from Chinese viewers. If you still feel it doesn't make sense, that's completely okay. I just wanted to offer another perspective for people who have similar questions.
Its nit just the intro its used in the scenes as well. Like the one of the ml burning the flower field and im…
I don't wanna argue with you because I'm not the post-production member.I just assume it from similar scenes in xianxia dramas produced years ago when there's no ai.
I've been waiting for this drama since I've learned to know Wang Churan and since this is her most anticipated…
I finally came across an objective review. Honestly, the fast pacing is just a result of how the story is told. Instead of explaining every detail in chronological order like many other dramas do, this one has a mystery element, so pieces of the past are gradually revealed throughout the main storyline. If you're patient and keep watching, everything starts to make sense. I actually think the suspense is handled really well—without it, the story would feel much flatter and drag on.
Did he really get hate just for being good looking ?
It's not just his looks. It's his height, his education, and his intelligence too. During POJ's broadcast, fans of pretty much every other male actor were attacking him because they thought he was simply too outstanding and was taking opportunities away from their favorites.
Pretty good in China, Ai animes and dramas are already accepted by some people, so ai credit isn't such a big problem. Most netizens say they like the fast paced drama rather than other draggy and slow dramas.
