This is accurate LOL https://twitter.com/7chacha777/status/1545919469113036800 I'm really dislike harem trope in drama/novel/anime whether the normal harem or reverse harem . I guess that must why I couldn't enjoy drama like You're Beautiful even many people like it when it aired at those time.
I watch this drama without expectation but Lee Jae Wook and Jung So Min really chemistry as partner really good in this drama^_^ Jang Uk and Mu Deok are the supremacy couple in this drama for me https://twitter.com/actressooyaaa/status/1546357142697168896
The Untamed was aired in year 2019. If I'm not mistaken, the recent limit for a Chinese drama to air is maximum just 40 episodes started about at the half in year 2021.
What's going on? I was very confused and did not understand anything. Has the series been canceled or has the…
The main actress of this drama, Yuan Bing Yan had involved in tax evasion scandal. If I'm not mistaken, she already paid the fined for that but you know, when you involved in tax evasion in country like China, you could be ban from the entertainment industry by the government.
As I know for now, her social media in China, Weibo still not get freeze by their government like what happen to the more famous actor and actress in China, Deng Lun and Fan Bing Bing, that also involved in tax evasion scandal so maybe that means her action was less serious than those two.
Even so, as one of an entertainer in Chinese entertainment industry, other than not involved in breaking the country law like tax evasion, you also should has good "public image".
So recently, she get dropped from her endorsement for Dior & Fabloox, get her scenes removed from her previous Chinese drama and also get replaced from her second female lead role in a high budget drama that currently filming, Fox Spirit Matchmaker with senior actress, Yang Mi, as it main female lead.
About this drama, it get removed from the list of upcoming drama in year 2022 by the Mango TV channel. We still don't know whether they will put this drama on shelve permanently or just postpone it.
Recently, if they produce new Chinese dramas with more than 40 episodes, they will split the dramas to 2 parts…
Whether we as the audiences feel it useless or not, all of the companies of drama's production are producing dramas because they want to gain profits not doing it for charity so of course they will continue to do thing that will benefit them.
I think they will continue splitting their dramas to 2 parts until their government added law that clearly banned these drama's production to split the dramas to 2 parts. Even then, I believe they will continue to search the loophole of this law so they could make dramas more than 40 episodes LOL
Until then, we still will see Chinese dramas with more than 40 episodes haha
How is this 46 episodes? China already placed a ban that dramas should not exceed 40 episodes
Recently, if they produce new Chinese dramas with more than 40 episodes, they will split the dramas to 2 parts so each part will air not more than 40 episodes.
4) Immortal Samsara Total episodes: 60 *If I'm not mistaken, this drama will split to 2 parts. First part will has 40 episodes while the second part will has about 20 episodes https://kisskh.at/72025-chen-xiang-ru-xie
5) Wonderland of Love Total episodes: 50 https://kisskh.at/717585-le-you-yuan *If I'm not mistaken, this drama just finished filming last month (June, 2022) and based on the info they will split this drama to 2 parts.
Meanwhile there were some dramas that did not split the airing time to 2 parts and have more than 40 episodes (like under 50 episodes) because they get edited out from their original total episodes that usually about 50 episodes.
For example: Love in Flames of War (2022) https://kisskh.at/54939-love-in-flames-of-war The drama production originally filming this drama for total 50 episodes yet it get edited out by the television channel until just total 43 episodes when it aired. (I'm sad because I really like the chemistry of this drama main couple with each other huhu)
Xianxia literally means "immortal heroes." Xianxia stories feature martial arts, but they have more fantasy elements…
I'm asking question politely haih Why are you mad? T_T
At the beginning, you asking why xianxia novels about that. Then I answer you and I'm asking what should they wrote if not immortal heroes since xianxia literally, mean "immortal heroes", to Chinese peoples? I want to know, to you, what xianxia should be about?
It's like: A: Why "imperial dramas were all about royalty in the palace and all that?
B: "Imperial" meaning is relating to an empire or royalty, monarchy so of course the drama will be about emperor/empress/royalty/noble peoples. If you are not interested, choose another type of dramas.
A: I know the meaning of imperial but why?
B: Ok, so you know the "imperial" meaning is relating to an empire or royalty, monarchy. If the drama's tag has "imperial", the drama will about imperial. What else should it be then? Why are you asking this question? I want to know.
A: I know but why. I'm not interested with these type of plots.
B: ???
I don't force you to watch this drama LOL I thought you don't know about xianxia so I explain a bit to you.
If you don't want to watch this kind of dramas, go watch another. There were many kind of Chinese dramas that were produce by them. May you meet type of dramas that you like^_^
Xianxia literally means "immortal heroes." Xianxia stories feature martial arts, but they have more fantasy elements…
Eh, I didn't snap at you at all LOL Why did you think like that? Because of capital letter in my comment above?
Sorry, but sometimes when I read a long comments or articles I couldn't focus with the explanation about the main issue so I prefer the peoples that give explanation highlight the main sentences with color or different type of size or font LOL Since I explain about xianxia to you, I use capital letter for "xianxia".
Btw, since you already know that xianxia in Chinese is "immortal heroes", why you asking that question? I genuinely want to know.
Xianxia in Chinese refer to "immortal heroes", so of course a Chinese drama's producers will produce dramas and a Chinese authors will wrote novels about xianxia (immortal heroes) based on Chinese traditional literatures, customs, myths, folklores, tales, sayings, dances, or art forms preserved among the Chinese peoples and examples of Chinese their immortal heroes are like gods, demons, getting reincarnated and all that kind of plots.
Although I loved these two actors, I just can’t get myself to ship them or even picture them together : it’s…
Meanwhile I'm so happy because actor Han Dong Jun has suitable face and body as a main male lead that will wear gorgeous costume in a Chinese Republican Era ahaha
He also had quite good performance before when he acted as main male lead with actress Sun Yi as his main female lead in a melodrama, Siege in Fog (2018) that also set in the Chinese Republican Era. https://kisskh.at/19052-siege-in-fog
Based on the some of Chinese melodrama with the setting in the Chinese Republican Era that I had watch before, usually when the main male lead is from a high status/noble family, his character will be domineering and possessive LOL https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1PY411w7dp/?spm_id_from=333.788.recommend_more_video.12 I guess that because they were adapted from the already popular Chinese melodrama novels and these main male lead that from the high status/noble families were like princes/dukes in imperial era.
And even if main male lead is not from high status/noble family or he is but his character is nice and "normal", they usually couldn't avoid sad/open ending for the main couple/side couple romance T_T
I know that in China history, the period spans from 1912 to 1949 were one of their most turbulent era because that followed over the fall of the last imperial dynasty, Qing dynasty to the civil war and the arrival to power of the communist party but I still hope they will produce a melodrama in that era with a total happy ending for the couple romance and both of them together alive with their child too huhu
It just that I had to endure all these couples misunderstanding in Chinese Republican Era melodrama that mainly happen because of their jealousy towards support/guest character, or they acting like a noble idiot because they want to keep the secret from their partner, or their miscommunication because their mouth suddenly become dysfunctional so they couldn't explain the real thing/reason to their partner only for a tragic/open ending for their romances!
WHY THEY LIKE TO DO THIS?! AND YET WHY I'M STILL WATCHING THESE KIND OF MELODRAMA AND ALSO READING THESE TYPES OF ANGSTY NOVEL?! T_T
But honestly, other than Chinese imperial dramas, people's wardrobes in Chinese Republican Era dramas are really gorgeous too. They are the visual definition of "when east meet west"! ^_^
Main attraction for me in drama in Chinese Republican Era:
My choice for latest dashing main male lead in Chinese Republican Era: Third young master of Xiao family in Beixin city, Xiao Bei Chen by actor Dou Xiao in drama Love In Flames Of War.
I wonder if this Mr. Chen character by actor Elvis Han's performance in this drama could replace or at least be equal to Xiao Bei Chen character by actor Dou Xiao's performance in drama Love In Flames Of War for drama in the setting of Chinese Republican Era in my list.
I have a question from web novel readers, are there really no xianxia novels out there that are NOT about same…
Xianxia literally means "immortal heroes." Xianxia stories feature martial arts, but they have more fantasy elements than wuxia stories. Xianxia stories feature magical beings such as gods and demons, and characters often cultivate to gain immortality or strength. =credit to mjf314 & Cho Na in "A Brief History of Chinese Dramas" article=
If you choose Chinese novel/drama that has "XIANXIA" on it tags, of course the plot usually will revolve around gods and demons and humans, master student or whatever falling in love and getting reincarnated 10 times kind of thing (there isn't update with "XIANXIA" on it tags on this drama's page yet because if I'm not mistaken, the casts are still unconfirmed).
Just like if you choose Chinese novel/drama that has "REPUBLICAN ERA" on it tags, the plot usually will revolve around civil war, Sino-Japanese War, soldiers, spies, warlords and mainly tragic/open ending for main couple/side couple romance because in history, that period that spans roughly from 1912 to 1949 in China were the turbulent era that followed over the fall of the last imperial dynasty, Qing dynasty to the civil war and the arrival to power of the communist party. Chinese novel/drama set in this period, will either focus on some noble family difficult transition into modernity or stories of young officers raising to military power through wars and revolutions.
So, if you feel bored with Chinese novel/drama that has XIANXIA plot, choose Chinese dramas with another genre like youth, thriller, mystery or other.
I want to watch Liu Xue Yi more in main male lead role in dramas. He is good looking, has manly body and also has a good acting skill. I wish they give him more in main male lead role. Many of his roles were as the second male lead that get heartbroken T_T
Lately I develop interest in reading Chinese melodrama novel in republican era so I imagine Liu Xue Yi since his body is so suitable for military and all those suit/jacket clothing in republican era.
I also imagine actress Chen Du Ling as his pair since her small body, gentle and demure aura is suitable for main female lead in melodrama genre in China republican era setting.
There is a young man dressed in luxurious clothes, he is extremely handsome, with phoenix eyes and thin lips,…
Thank you for this info! ^_^ I fallen for actor Liu Xue Yi after watching his drama Qing Luo and Love at Night. He is also talented in drama Love And Redemption even as a villain.
If I'm not mistaken, this drama is first main male lead role in costume drama for actor Bai Jing Ting and I'm happy for him because he is a talented actor.
But I also want to watch Liu Xue Yi more in main male lead role in dramas. He is good looking, has manly body and also has a good acting skill. I wish they give him more in main male lead role. Many of his roles were as the second male lead that get heartbroken T_T

It can be 40 episodes, 45 episodes or even 50 episodes.
But if the drama will be more than 40 episodes, they need to separate the drama to 2 parts so when each part of the drama on air, it won't be more than 40 episodes because their current rule limited each airing drama to be not more than 40 episodes if I'm not mistaken.

I think they will continue splitting their dramas to 2 parts until their government added law that clearly banned these drama's production to split the dramas to 2 parts. Even then, I believe they will continue to search the loophole of this law so they could make dramas more than 40 episodes LOL

Good then.
I want him to try to play other type of characters a cold main male lead and he wouldn't always be the character that get tortured and spitting LOL
Along their journey, the main male lead will meet second male lead and third male lead and then they will solving mysteries together.
But if the drama will be more than 40 episodes, they need to separate the drama to 2 parts so when each part of the drama on air, it won't be more than 40 episodes because their current rule limited each airing drama to be not more than 40 episodes if I'm not mistaken.
That's how other Chinese dramas did it nowadays.
