I guess we’ll just have to agree to disagree. I don’t see anyone saying Li Meng outacted TSY, though, and I personally don’t think Li Meng outacted TSY either. I just saw some comments saying that TSY can’t act and has no chemistry with her co-stars, which I beg to differ on because, IMO, she has chemistry with her co-stars even without kissing scenes.

I wouldn’t have been obsessed with Under the Power, With You, Go Ahead, Fox’s Summer, The Sword and the Brocade, Flight to You, and Road Home for years if she really had no chemistry with her co-stars. And the whole “she can’t kiss her co-star” argument is ridiculous too because she was literally making out with Jing Boran in Road Home and Luo Yunxi in her first film.

Besides, I don’t think she would keep having hit after hit if she were really not a good actress. But then again, maybe I’m just too deep into her at this point 😅

Yes, but I think everyone in ATC did a great job portraying their characters. I agree with the Oscar winner comparison, especially because Guo Keyu, the awardwinning actress here, apparently has no formal acting education.

Redditors really do move differently from MDL. Last time I saw them saying LXY lacked range, and this time I’m seeing people say that TSY can’t act and has no chemistry with her co-stars. And yet, at the same time, they use idol dramas as their standard. 😭

Cnetz listed the pillars of ATC, and most of them graduated from prestigious universities. The director and screenwriter are both from Peking University, while the actors and actresses graduated with acting degrees from prestigious universities in China. The director directing, the screenwriter writing, and the actors acting

This is a ceiling high school drama in china. It's a classic. People still call Tan Songyun Geng Geng because of this drama. Well as much as she is called Li Jianjian too

I found it funny how I always found people misspelled the ML and FL names for this drama. Liu Xueyi becomes Li Xueyi and Tan Songyun becomes Tang Songyun

I mean this is china traditional house

Wow she sang 2 songs for this drama!

I thought I saw in behind the scene she was the one kissing him. Maybe I saw wrongly? 🤔 I tried to avoid spoiler but I saw those reuters when they were still filming

That might also be how she will clear the Shen name. Who knows

The Dai/Zhao family had someone tailing him when he sent the former crown prince away. They saved the proof to bring him down

Thank you for your service. The link works for me🫶🏻💞

This is custom built. They built the set for almost a year before filming started. Regardless, I think Story of Minglan had their own set too

What a large crowd

Is there a necessity to put others down to praise him?

I think she knows Jinqi was courting her but she was pretending not to know because of their social gap. She decided not to entertain that thought

They will have a child in ep 40, so probably before that. She will probably reciprocate him in mid 30 eps, which is already around the corner

There is a Weibo post by Tan Songyun and Liu Xueyi replied. Seven posted XLX never changed, she was just pretending she didn't know. And LXY replied with his LJQ meme, so when XLX said she didn't love LJQ, was she pretending too?

So, XLX might have like LJQ long ago, she just never entertain her thoughts.

Because she has no privilege to have flaws. She has learned and grown through everything she experienced, both as a noblewoman and as a slave. I feel like if the FL had more flaws now, she would be criticized even more. Seven's character in As Beautiful as You had many flaws, and people criticized her heavily for them. Meanwhile, the ML in As Beautiful as You was portrayed as almost perfect, and people praised him highly.

Sometimes I feel like being a girl is so hard. When you have too many flaws, you get criticized. When you have very few flaws, you get criticized for that too.

Because we’re looking at this from the FL’s POV or the audience’s POV. But from Jinqi supporters’ perspective, Lanxiang definitely has flaws. For one, she didn’t respond to the elders during the morning greeting. Second, as his wife, she was expected to be a good wife to him. Even her traumas could be considered flaws for people who don't know her traumas. It really depends on which perspective you’re looking at it from.

Lanxiang definitely has flaws, but she also has very strong principles that she inherited from her family. And those principles can be seen as flaws by others. In fact, the reason her entire family died was because they refused to bend or compromise because of their strong principles.
