Upcoming Chinese costume dramas like "Imperial Cuisine" with actor Xu Kai & actress Wu Jin Yan as main couple and also "Who Rules The World" with actor Yang Yang & actress Zhao Lu Si as main couple get cut out to just 40 episodes because the current rule limit Chinese dramas to 40 episodes per drama.
So I wonder if anyone know how many episode this drama "Immortal Samsara" was filming originally?
Was this drama filming for more than 40 episodes and will get cut out just like "Imperial Cuisine" and "Who Rules The World" or it has been filming for just 40 episodes originally?
The synopsis: "Due to a mix up, the two sisters are married off to the wrong husbands."
So, the novel are about love stories between both princesses and their husbands? Or about both princesses and their fiancés and finally they will get married in the end?
Well, Chang Ge herself fall in love with Crown Prince Han Ye (Gong Jun) in Legend Of Anle and has Hao Du (Liu Yu Ning) as her side guy (second male lead) haha
Thank you! Chen Xing Xu is a great actor that look good in costume clothes and also has a beautiful finger haha so actually I won't mind to watch him even in a drama with 100 episodes LOL
I read that he will act as more than one character in this drama so I'm super excited!
I've been mulling over a post I want to write about Gorya smacking at Thyme because, to be honest, I think it…
These kind of scenes are quite prevalent in Asian dramas sometimes even in historical genre.
Mother/wife/lover sometime even female friend pinching, smacking or pulling the men ear in Asian dramas.
Some of these scenes happen in drama because the men "talk big/bragging" in front of public or acting childish but still, these scenes are not getting scrutinize more compared to whenever men did it even it is just a joke.
That's why I think we still need to remember the important thing, that this is just a drama.
In real life: 1)if you meet men like Thyme, you should stay awayyy not slowly fall in love LOL 2)women shouldn't normalize all those pinching, smacking, pulling ear etc behavior to men, because forget men, even women will feel uncomfortable/annoyed/angry if another women doing that kind of things to them well unless you are just joking with people that very close to you and they don't mind/comfortable with that kind of behavior.
I don't condone any violence in real life okay but if people really want to complain about "violence" scenes then we need to compare between all scenes of Thyme bullying/almost hitting her etc vs all scenes of Gorya hitting/smacking/punching/pulling his ear in this drama.
Yes, men are stronger than women but if people truly want to be fair about violence scene, people should condemn both sides right? I mean, Gorya smacking Thyme in almost every episodes? Is it because Gorya a woman so she get pass for this in the drama?
I always me wonder about this: What is the line that should not be cross for "violence" for men to women and women to men that make them deserve each other as romantic pair in a drama?
What I want to say are: 1)No matter what, the most important thing is to remember that this is a drama. 2)This is an adaptation based on Japanese shoujo manga in 1992 (30 years ago) 3)If you really can't watch this drama because the bullying scene etc, it's fine because this is just a drama and everyone has their own preference
Since I already watch the Taiwan/Japan/Korea/China adaptations, my opinion about this adaptation are: 1)Thailand adaptation really do their best by giving Thyme character more depth 2)In here I could understand how Gorya fallen for Thyme than the typical "because he is the main male lead" because their interactions in each episode 3)Gorya is truly a match for Thyme, I'm rooting for them
I will watch this drama since I like Bai Lu and she has good chemistry with Luo Yun Xi in their previous drama.
From behind the scene pictures of this drama, their costumes here are very good and kinda different.
Usually I see main couples in Chinese costume dramas that involve fairy, demon, immortal and etc wear pastel color costumes and they are usually, blue, pink, white, yellow while the dark color costumes are for evil character or if the character become evil.
The color of Bai Lu costumes here are more striking and stand out if you understand what I mean.
Not only that, I also really like her headdress. The headdress especially the one with bead/jewelry on the forehead is my top favourite of women style in Chinese costume dramas.
Aww the offscreen interactions between F4 Thailand casts are so cute!
Translation for Nani’s (MJ) recent post with his photoshoot with Tu (Gorya)
Nani’s caption : I’m sorry, Thyme Ren
Tu commented : The one you trust is finally the most evil one Nani replied: Hahahahahaha (I learn that number 5 sound like "ha" in Thai so many number 5 is hahaha) https://pattayasanook.com/555-meaning-thailand/
So, first we got DewTu photoshoot, then NaniTu photoshoot. I think next will be WinTu photoshoot while BrightTu photoshoot will be the last for "Tu and the F4 Thailand boys" LOL
The most popular actors and actress on Thai Update for the 1st week of February 2022: Actor Bright at the first place while actor Mark Prin & actress Tu at the second place! https://twitter.com/amaginu_ui/status/1490642019844521991
Bright and Mark Prin are already well known Thai celebrities so I'm really happy that Tu is at second place although this F4 Thailand is her first project as an actress (ノ^о^)ノ
One thing I like about Thailand actors & actresses interactions between their co-stars compared to Korean/Chinese actors/actresses are they are more open to be friendly with each other, like joking with each other on twitter, posted their off screen pic together on their ig to promote their projects.
I don't mean that the Korean and Chinese actors & actresses never do that too but nowadays many fans including non Korean & Chinese fans of Korean & Chinese dramas being really toxic with their shipping fantasies until many Korean/Chinese actors/actresses being stiff or cautious with their co-star in their off screen interactions haish
There are toxic fans of Thailand dramas too but many of them are BL fans since usually Thailand BL series are more popular among youngster of non Thailand fans
Btw, I wonder how Bright & Tu onscreen kiss in this drama gonna be LOL Since their characters are still in school, their kiss will be little uh tame? Bright kiss scene in Social Death Vote give me a bit hope but this is Tu first onscreen kiss so T_T
I can't understand how teenagers are loving this shit. It's vulgar, objectifies woman and rationalises bullying…
This drama is an adaptation from a famous Japanese shoujo manga, Hana Yori Dango (1992) by Yoko Kamio and this is not the first adaptation. There are anime, movie and dramas adaptations before this Thailand adaptation.
Other dramas adaptation: 1) Meteor Garden (2001) - Taiwan Main actor : Jerry Yan as Dao Ming Si Main actress: Barbie Hsu as Dong Shan Cai
2) Hana Yori Dango (2005) - Japan Main actor : Matsumoto Jun as Domyoji Tsukasa Main actress: Inoue Mao as Makino Tsukushi
3) Boys Over Flowers (2009) - Korea Main actor : Lee Min Ho as Gu Jun Pyo Main actress: Gu Hye Sun as Geum Jan Di
4) Meteor Garden (2018) - China Main actor : Dylan Wang as Dao Ming Si Main actress: Shen Yue as Dong Shan Cai
5) F4 Thailand: Boys Over Flowers (2021) - Thailand
I read the manga, watch all above dramas adaptations and I tell you what, Thyme in this F4 Thailand: Boys Over Flowers is the softest version of main male lead and has more character development compared to main male leads in those adaptations.
But everyone have their own preferences. If you don't like this kind of drama then you don't have to force yourself to watch it.
The reader who read the original novel mentioned that Ding Yu Xi character is cunning and quite jerk too like Li Cheng Yin in Goodbye My Princess.
Yet he still get happy ending with his wife (Peng Xiao Ran character). I guess not killing your wife relatives and destroyed her hometown help your ending fate.
But the reader also mentioned that Peng Xiao Ran character is smart and cunning too to counter-attack her husband plans and tactics.
I hope this drama production doesn't make her character to become less smart or dumb.
Why can't drama productions produce more smart/cunning/sly character as main female lead in these Asian dramas with romance genre? Especially in a historical setting where as we already informed they have to survive through more hardship in their life?
More characters like Wei Ying Luo (Story Of Yanxi Palace) and Sheng Ming Lan (The Story Of Minglan) in Chinese costume dramas please!
So I wonder if anyone know how many episode this drama "Immortal Samsara" was filming originally?
Was this drama filming for more than 40 episodes and will get cut out just like "Imperial Cuisine" and "Who Rules The World" or it has been filming for just 40 episodes originally?
