Titania

All 3 dramas sound solid work & promising to prove her versatility more. Hope she takes all if they're worth it! Any details on no. 3?

Hidden Love just finished filming, its also a Youku drama, it won't air so fast when the previously filmed modern dramas haven't even aired yet. Dramas are meant to collide. Each platform is bidding time to throw their trump card at the right time to catch the perfect slot of the season. TLP & Wild Bloom have no guarantee of airing at that time but if they do, it doesn't matter as long as ALZ lands a massive hit. The audience for Anle Zhuan & Wild Bloom will vary largely if it airs, its also not the same genre.

Also, this year is full of big dramas, so they will collide no matter what. For instance, Oath of Love, The Blue Whisper, Who Rules the World collided. Then Immortal Samsara, Love like the Galaxy, Love between Fairy & Devil collided, but they performed according to their calibers.

Rather, World Cup could be an issue, because this year will be the last for Messi & Ronaldo, and the attention given to dramas airing could totally not be in place (for people who are fans of both dramas & world cup). YAMG also aired during the Olympics but became a huge hit anyways so idk, for me I'll be over the moon if they really drop it now (fully prepared).

The girl who plays Dilraba's younger version?

But people are worried for ALZ to collide with The World Cup & get lesser hype & focus.

I'm also having strong vibes of it being released because why would suddenly make noise when all along it was in the dungeon! Also, the actor who plays Wen Shuo probably said in his livestream ALZ will air around Nov according to various sources.

What a MARVELOUS cast (for the moment)! Hoping Wu Lei & Esther pairing stays as the final!!!

She doesn't have two police themed dramas. One is prosecutor themed, another is police themed. Also, Prosecution Elites will air this year, as far as they've announced.

Ah, she shouldn't be given any large screentime, there are bigger & more intimidating villains in the novel than a pest like Di Chengen. But judging by the fact that a character MuQing, sent as her bodyguard to spy on her falls for her, has been added, she'll at least have more than in novel I guess. But anyone in their right & sensible mind would know better than to give her longer screentime & ruin it all, because she's a most pathetic loser of a character. But she's not the only one with a bigger screentime, the character Lin Lang is also given more exposure as a role than what was there in the novel. But many of the characters that appear later in volume 2 are unheard of, possibly cut & merged to other characters, so it could be balanced out by a good writing. Just hoping for the writing to do justice.

I totally get you. Li Changge is a league of her own as a female protagonist, that's consistently written with superiority (except the part where the kid takes hostage of her). Ling Buyi might be great but Ashile Sun cannot be surpassed, this character remains iconic & legendary. And the relationship dynamic of Changge & Sun remains superior to me, even with the least amount of intimacies or emphasis on romance given. All the scenes you noted are ones that we raved about like crazy when it aired, feels nostalgic.

Unlike the majority, I appreciated the ending, a happy ending, evidently, with them as an individual hero of their journey. A story, unfinished, ongoing, with them, doing their mission. And it was already shown prior to the ending that Changge & Sun reconciled and were together, so no doubt remains. They didn't necessarily have to stand in the same frame to prove they are living a life committed to each other, like the typical happy ending scenes in all dramas. But prior to the ending scene, the fire scene & everything else felt rushed, that's the only complaint I have.

They still keep dragging it even to this day ....never giving a chance to calm down :)

You're welcome. Even if its unfinished. You won't regret reading, its one of the most highly regarded manhuas that won awards & recognition across China, Japan & more countries. Its one of my most treasured mangas.

The manhua is a class on its own. So many things would've been more amazing if they followed the manhua & didn't cut, even though the drama did remarkably good as an adaptation. They even gave us some of the most iconic scenes like The Shuzhuo gate surrender. Its available on all manga sites.

That role isn't something she would pick. I've read Wang Quan is male centered with FL being a mere spider spirit with less impact & involvement, so this rumor is as good as "DENIED".

In the manhua, Adou falls out with Changge & runs away with little Yuan being upset when he learns that Changge wants to give up revenge. His character gets annoying at that point but he was also just an impulsive kid holding grudge but Drama's Adou is excellent.

Changge & Sun's dyamic in the manhua is similar & also a bit different in the manhua since many things are changed/cut. Unlike the drama, they don't get acquainted in the Central Plains & become friends, because Ashina Sun never sets his feet in the Central Plains. After the defeat of Shuzhou & Gongsun Heng, he brings Changge to grasslands hearing of her talent as a war strategist. From then on, they become comrades then friends, Changge does her job as a war strategist in battles for him. Mimi Guli commits suicide in Changge's tent as a spy early on (unlike in the drama) after giving away their confidential info to the enemy, & her death hits Changge really hard, she runs far away, buries her, passes out & takes shelter in the temple & finds her path after seeing the aftermath of battles & war victims. Sun comes to know she's a girl only after she disappeared, unlike in the drama. And regarding their separation, both of them go on their separate journey to find their roots, Changge as the Uyghur Princess, niece of Pusa & Sun as the heir to Khitan tribe, but they meet again during Uyghur vs Turk battle. Pusa takes Sun hostage in the battle & want to make a deal by saying he could marry his niece if he allies with the Uyghur. Ofc he would want to marry her but he won't betray the Turks either, so they were at a stalemate there but they had a funny bickering dynamic. At that point, both Sun & Changge realized their feelings & devotion for each other & also their responsibilities for their people. Changge wanted to negotiate with Tang & travel to Central Plains as an envoy of Uyghur tribe. After that the manhua is on eternal hiatus.

Maybe the manhua would eventually come to the scenario of the peace alliance of Great Tang & Grasslands , as in the drama, maybe Changge & Sun would get married & get their ending but alas, it ended before all these happened.

hahahahahahahaha

Because, the story & setting calls for torture & pain & because its a xianxia?

Dying for Dilraba in a republican & retro :')

I think, fan wars breaking out where the top-billing looks obvious (as per the story & actor) is something very outrageous, so third parties are claimed to be involved, as in the case with Fox spirit matchmaker.

But when the billing is ambiguous, it makes sense, as in the case with You Are My Glory.

Fans of liuliangs always want their favorites to be top-billed but that isn't plausible everywhere. Story, character, the actor's seniority as per their works matter. There are also cases where new rising star fandom quarrel over top-billing just after one hit role, as in the case with Accidental love, lol. Anyways, idk, C-ent works in weird ways, so... I mean, all entertainment industry works with fuel & heat, so whatever floats their boat.

Are you talking about Keep Running? I watched the whole season Dilraba was in & Deng Chao was actually like a dad to Dilraba & LuHan. But ofc, yeah they should've been more mannered about it even though it was supposed to be comedic. But actors & variety show comedian hosts are different. Actors are supposed to be strong enough to carry an actress without complaining & at least being a gentleman when talking about it.

Nope, I haven't heard of any arguments related to top billing for LOA. The top-billing should be Dilraba's, I suppose, since she plays the titular character.
