I'm posting this because I have to get this off my chest and I cannot stand what the chinese government and locals are doing to this drama, the cesspool of hate, vitriol and criticism is unwarranted, especially to Zhang Ling He and the Zhu Yu production team whose job is to make the actors look good. It is such a tall poppy syndrome thing where they just want to cut down others who are flourishing. I find it ironic and sad that this drama is doing so well internationally whereas at home, where they should be supporting their own artistes, are being criticised to no end.
Nobody is expecting to see a real general from hundreds of years ago, in an idol drama. In fact, if they wanted to they shouldn't be watching an idol historical romance drama in the first place, they should be watching a documentary!
There were many dramas with pretty and good looking made up "foundation" generals way even before Zhu Yu aired and this wasn't an issue until it blew up in popularity. So basically, Zhang Ling He was made a sacrificial lamb to be made an example of. Seriously, what sin did he commit? And what sin did the director and production crew make in wanting to make the actors look good? Because of this smear campaign, innocent people are almost getting cancelled, platforms being told what should be and shouldn't be filmed because it makes the government and chinese culture look bad.
Total BS and ridiculous for the government to make an example of this drama. I feel sorry for everyone involved in this team with all their hard works going down the drain because others want to see them fail. No wonder the chinese entertainment industry is not doing well and it will continue to falter if china continues to limit artistic freedom and impose absurd restrictions. Thank god this drama is doing well at least outside of China, and everybody's efforts, Zhang Ling he, Tian xiwei and Zeng qing jie's work can be appreciated.
Who is the crazy dude who gives a rating 1/10 even though the eps havent been dropped? Please give a fair rating.…
Just another loser who finds no other joy or meaning in life but to go out of their way to spread hate towards the drama and the actors for no reason at all. Sad.
