I think He Na and Liu Shao have the better chemistry.
It seems a recurring pattern with this director that the ML comes across like a piece of cardboard and the SML gets to shine.

I saw that the director is the one who previously directed Legend of Yunxi and sadly the SFL seems to follow the same stupid pattern of repetitively muttering "I will kill you because he's mine" in every single episode right until the end (or until the viewer drops the drama).
I hope I'm wrong and someone will kill her quickly to save us (and the drama) from this misery.

If your logic was correct we should have Immortality soon then... Plus A League of Noblemen and Winner is King.

Thanks for the link. I tried to MTL the first few chapters just to see if the result is readable. Seeing beauties like "The mozi of the bird tongue is also better than the needle snail" made me reconsider and hope for a charitable human translator to take on the novel.

Yes, I think the stylists didn't do him any favours with that hairstyle. I remember him looking quite cute in TMoPB and seeing him now in this drama something felt off... It took me a while to realise...it's the hair!!!!

Episode 5 was really silly... the overuse of computer-generated glitter made it feel like one of those tacky Christmas dramas.
Waiting for the plot to move forward...

Hmmh... looks like we're not going to break the 80k comments barrier before the end of the year.
So if you have any free time over the holidays... you know what to do 🤡 🤡 🤡

I'm looking forward to see this... It's early days yet.

Fluffy - yes, but not too sure about the acting,,, I only watched a few episodes, so there's room for convincing me. An engaging ML needs a bit more than just good looks...

You can watch it also on kisskh.me

Watched up to ep. 3 - so far so good. They didn't waste much time on introducing the characters and their universe, but jumped right into the action. The FL is likeable ... not too sure about the ML...

Actually, the ending is true to the book, so for once, cannot be blamed on cut episodes.

Yes, I saw that! Feels like I've been waiting forever for this one...
I'll have to finish the drama that I'm currently watching first, so hopefully in a few days there will be enough episode released for me to have a binge-feast.

No, I meant Love Like The Galaxy (occasionally I watch stuff without LYX...) which had a draggy beginning and a rushed ending and so many cuts that there are persistent rumours about a "director's cut" with added material .
And yes, LYX definitely needs more costume drama!! Nobody floats from the sky more elegantly

FINALLY! This has taken such a long time!

I hope your right...
I'm still upset about all the cuts to LLTG and as you know every filmed second with Luo Yunxi is extra precious, so I wouldn't want to see any of it wasted.

Just look at this and you know what I mean...

For many Western actors it is a point of pride to master not only correct standard speech but also a number of regional accents.

China isn't the only country with strong regional accents. Think of the many Scottish actors who are able to speak flawless English or Hugh Laurie who even made the casting team believe he was actually American when auditioning for his role as Dr House.

I don't believe that Chinese actors (the real ones at least) are any less talented than their Western colleagues, so they should be able to do this.

Oh dear, yet another drama butchered beyond recognition by cutting so many scenes.

I find this highly disrespectful towards the hard work everyone has put into producing this and also towards the audience who will be served an end-product that will very likely have a good number of plot-holes, incoherent jumps from one scene to another and a dreadfully rushed ending.

I think everyone involved deserves better than this!

True. There's a lot of good stuff just sitting on the shelf, not coming out... Some dramas have been finalised for over two years now but for one reason or another are being held back. This is neither fair to the actors/production teams who have put in a lot of work, nor to the fans who have been waiting for a long time.
