There were deleted scenes?? I also had the thought as the trailer showed more of the intimate moments than the…
For thrills and intimate moments, just watch The Forbidden Flower. Or Lighter and Princess, Road Home, Hidden Love, very short Maid's Revenge, You are my Glory (skip some technical engineering parts if that's not your liking -- I did not, because I was interested by those parts too; the "I can make it lower" part is quite sweet), maybe also Here We Meet Again (despite a bit lengthy, Vin Zhang who is an excellent kisser, squeezed the best of sweetness out of Janice Wu Qian)... Even Only For Love (despite the phones playing third wheel). There are cuts in those too, but even without knowing where to watch them, they are still quite alluring (and thrilling), more so than Love o2o. Or this item. 😊
The end was mawkish and crap. The turtle bit was not even half checked with Google and veterinary advise: anyway, the stray dog "shelter" bit, too, was half baked stupid. What sort of audience was targeted there The love and hate in first episodes was best part, before it went dragging.
The script was not good and I can't stand Zhou Ye's nods in many episodes. as if she wanted to imitate old fashioned bobble-head staring dog dolls glued on car dashboards Her pouting and eating like she can't put food into her mouth without half of it popping out, and then adding mewling sounds in lieu of answers to table companions (such as in ep6 22:02). Can't she shake out of those nasty habits, which mar much of her "romantic" acting parts?
Lin Yi was average here: must have grown tired by the repetitiousness and drag. His best looks : in black and leather in episode 9, and in the FPS combat gaming parts. I think all chemistry was on him, not on Zhou Ye who did her parts as if they were a chore.
Kissing and sweet scenes : forget it! Even the silk nightgown moment was quickly "covered" and put away. When "Gu Xun" wanted to explain his mistake while cornering "Qianling" against a wall in the office -!!!- (same ep.9), she looked mildly puzzled (when she should have been reacting with a slap and a sharp lash of outspokenness). That scene was quickly toned down by "Jiang Junnan" dismissing it all with the technical Japanese term : "kabedon" (sighing) as if that was just goofy and acceptable behavior on the office floor...
Anyway this is a forgettable item; nothing to learn from it, except patience faced with lackluster script, subpar acting, and time loss. 7 from me, because I still like Lin Yi and thought Melody Tang was cute and playing well in character for her part, and I don't like to rate below 5.
Awww, it turns out to be cute! And I love the countryside setting!
Me too 😂 strayed on to that small drama because of a YT "FULL" which turned out to be a recap of episodes 1-7, went on to watch on YoYo English channel until 10, now waiting for the rest 😂
Thought I recognized the actors from enjoyable short dramas before, and yes : Qu Mengru was FL in Bride's revenge which I had followed up from Maid's Revenge, last year ( and I see she was also support in Be your Own Light ) Li Zhuoyang, I noticed from The Princess's New Clothes last year, and from rather remarkable All of Her earlier this year. But it's supposed not to have aired complete yet? So how come the movie edition is already out? Did it come from an alternate time line that interfered with ours ? Mysterious. I had paused to satisfy my curiosity about who I'd remembered from past roles to pin a name on them, and now, I will sit back and enjoy the rest of the show for a not too stressed moment 😂
So.... "laaaater" (1h) this stopped at roadside with Xiaoman taking old friend to village commitee while Lin Xian tagged along. I guess this YouTube video was not truly the "full" movie edition, but just the recap of the episodes already aired. Will move to the Youtube channel of original platform to watch the rest. The protagonists are very pretty and handsome. Countryside stories are cute and sometimes instructive. I liked the glimpse of the "ecological garden" prototype. Remembering also Meet Yourself and The Story of Xingfu (regular long dramas) and the videos of Li Ziqi, regretfully halted for two years already.
Li Ziqi. For those who don't know, try watch some of her enchanting videos of countryside Garden of Eden, on YouTube, or on WeTV (where two are still in the catalogue). She started out with a small camera, a big idea, and even bigger toil, growing later to a small team but still herself doing all the heavy work, while "starring" with her countryside fairy looks. Suddenly, the videos stopped, because of the complications with the company which had milked her name, helping her get famous to start with by backing her getting on the Net, nationally and internationally, to become the biggest Chinese Net celebrity although she did not attend events outside her small remote village. Her videos provided fuel for dreaming of "natural life and diet", and were works of art in themselves, showing her genuine natural talent for planning, shooting, visual storytelling. Later, unfortunately, the company started abusing their rights, selling substandard products not approved by LZQ, and failing to protect her from the backlash of hate that subsequently targeted her and her grandma from people who thought she was profiting by fooling audiences. She stopped her beautiful and artistic work and sued the company, but the dispute is perhaps still not resolved, despite rumors go that she might take to the camera again. Perhaps the real damage has been done: cutting down her faith and artistic vision. She is regretted by many of her followers.
Yes both parts are already filmed. Its just a matter of when they launch Part 2. I think it has to be 6-12 months…
A(aye).... Men 🤣 🤣 🤣 "March went out like a lion, A-whippin’ up the water in the bay. Then April cried And stepped aside, And along come pretty little May! May was full of promises, But she didn’t keep ’em quick enough fer some, And a crowd of Doubtin’ Thomases Was predictin’ that the summer’d never come. ..." Let's wish for June, then https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VCCuhpp3bb0 (I listen to all sorts 🤣 )

The book was on a list of culturally important ones, so I think this drama adaptation will not be martyred to be forgotten in two parts with too much delay in between. China has always believed in pragmatism and not blind rules. The drama fits the provisions for case by case exemption of full force. Maybe one of the last ones. It does not sin with a lot of inbuilt commercials, clearly identifiable as fillers, although the Ning salad was a bit long in its try to make the story less only male-centric. So let's bet we shall see S2 before end of June, perhaps earlier, depending on what's in the queue for airing slots.
Ok, I need my peeps to tell me what is up with the red eyes. I still haven't figured that out.
He's from the Lin family, remember? They have a great wizard.... Why Z.Xiu was left to suffer in Zichuan and conceal his magic power is not altogether clear, we shall surely get explanations in S2 upcoming. That's what I get from putting 2+2 together.
ep 23 and ep 24 are available on dramacoolweb .lol
yes yes, we know the usual bootleggers : kiss, cool, myAsianTV etc... The "first part" drama is also on YouTube, I think. I watch on iQiyi, VIP for honesty's sake. Grumbling when there are georestrictions, but I don't think there was any for Zichuan. I do concede that the financially handicapped who can't access a payment app to get legal access would want to circumvent the paywalls, and that the georestricted get up in lawless mood when they are rattled... I am not "holier than thou" anyway (always loved heavy metal when not in the mood for soft romances : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jk8magGDcKE).
BTW great news, Burning Flames are out from today on iQiyi and the iQiyi channel on Youtube. I thought it would be longer before it dropped. Romance, wuxia, fantasy, is promised, with Ren Jialun and Xing Fei and four other leads for a large cast and 40 episodes :D
Surprised that episode 24 is actually really good….. episode 2 to 23 ish can be skipped for future viewers
Not really no, in my opinion, but it may now feel like a very long prologue for us who watched it, in wait for a conclusion, in "first airing" and were left hanging at "to be continued". I think the second part will completely throw audiences if the background is missing, and from the way the production condensed flashbacks in first part,I doubt there would be necessary repeats to explain, in second part. This drama was meant as one piece, not two servings. Some excess Ning salad could arguably have been shortened.

Depends on when it was filmed : there were provisions for not having to do that sort of gymnastics. Depends on what the production negotiated, but Baidu has it that "The first and second parts of "Zichuan: The King of Light" and "The Three Heroes of Purple River", starring Yang Xuwen, Liu Yuning, and Zhang Mingen, are expected to be broadcast on iQiyi before June".
I made a mistake. I stopped watching at ep. 10 and now 14 episodes have accumulated. My question is, can I skip/FF…
No. Just wait and look at the whole drama, once part 2 gets released. Right now, it ended in limbo "to be continued", so it's not necessary to rush to watch any longer. You can have a look at the donghua, meanwhile, or at something else. Info about the drama has been compiled by me up in Discussions section : you might find enough to get acquainted with everybody and more, to while away time until the Zichuan epic resumes.

I clicked on and thought it looked cute, despite the strange title "The strange CEO accidentally becomes girl’s fiancé💗Love Story Movie" and the bizarre drama title "Don't Disturb Me Farming". Plus there are double subtitles in Chinese and English and I like that, to check in case of machine translation.
Thought I recognized the actors from enjoyable short dramas before, and yes :
Qu Mengru was FL in Bride's revenge which I had followed up from Maid's Revenge, last year ( and I see she was also support in Be your Own Light )
