Wish they used the title The Guide to Capturing a Black Lotus instead, sounds more catchy than the cheesy LGIEF…
Agree: I am a bit tired of all these "Love..." titles and me too, liked The Guide to Capturing a Black Lotus better. Had put that one on my tbw list but thought it was "not before 2025" as someone wrote in this comments section. Then there was Esther's sweet song that got on YouTube and I thought: perhaps Xmas. --3rd collab in the future? Ah yes, I probably should set time aside for Moonlight which I missed. I remembered DYX from The Romance of Tiger and Rose where he paired with Zhao Lusi in a somewhat similar comedic transmigration from novel to ancient costume drama, but here, he first came in so differently that I first thought he was Xu Kai (noticed I was not the only one to think so, btw). -- So far, so good - am catching up, since started a bit late, held up by the other two leading dramas which are all different, so: welcome change of multiple universes 😅
"Daddi" (now Steve?) Tang, Zhao Lusi and Liu Yuning were shopping for the cooking in the live stream of yesterday…
The second one is from the live stream of yesterday, I think? When he impishly added salt to the already salted dish? First one too as a play on words sound of this character name here. "Steve" : I don't know why.
you can almost consider it original script. There are only 10 chapters out, with no ending. These 10 chapters…
Are you sure the author is one of the screen writers ? I did not spot Tan Tianyin in the list of four screenwriters acknowledged on the crew list. If you have a reliable source to add Tan Tianyin as screenwriter in addition to original author, then I would add it in the general information on the: https://kisskh.at/discussions/zhu-lian-yu-mu/131556-the-story-of-pearl-girl-companion-piece (work in progress)
the novel is incomplete with only 10 chapters so the drama is pretty much an "original" script.
There are 23 chapters now, but since this drama started after the first 10 got reviewed and translated, you are right of course. The scriptwriters teamed to imagine a story "based" on the original novel root, but not growing same way and using other original input. More about the original novel, translations, and reference to the people who made this story can be found in my "companion piece" (still in the works) : https://kisskh.at/discussions/zhu-lian-yu-mu/131556-the-story-of-pearl-girl-companion-piece
go to Episode guide on top of this page, it is the tab next to Details, between Details and Cast & Crew; you may leave an ultra short review for each episode you wish to rate, as well.
Hello, aren't you tracking also The Story of Pearl Girl? It broke 7000 on premiere day November 1 and stood above 10 000 already yesterday 🙌 , if I am not mistaken. Phenomenal? Of course, it's been much anticipated and hyped even by a string of other stars and people who gave testimony about the Tang dynasty features and "maritime road". And it is a rather thrilling story too, not a simple copy of the e-novel basis but rather a new creation from same root.
We did not see it in the pot though... Perhaps, alternate fate, it was a gander that went off to father a lot of goslings ? (we never saw it laid eggs, golden or not).
