Exactly! it doesn't help that her team tend to get her scripts where the character lacks development or any form of complexity or depth to them. There's no diversity in her acting cannon just the same old characters. I guess when you have a cutesy image to uphold, the roles you go for have to match.

Completely agree! When paired alongside actors who emote very well like JZ, she is not up to par. I think I will give it a miss for the time being.

Can you say it louder for the people at the back! Loved the article, will have to re-read just to make sure I haven't missed out anything :)

I already did lolol

Tbh I forgot to count and just watched it again LOL

Don't mind me, just sending friend requests to the OG's of this comment thread LOL

Yeah that's what I meant by jealous ex's! Technically the Emperor can be noted as her ex considering he was dead set on marrying her and had the grandma's blessing etc

The Queen now endorses 30 brands!

I will give this a chance before I drop it, probably when the jealous ex's come into the mix. Something about the Princess's characterisation seems off like the writers couldn't decide whether they wanted her to be mature or carefree or both. For a previous Empress, she has no real redeeming quality. I think it also lies in the portrayal of the FL. As the lead, I feel like Ju Jing Yi lacks onscreen presence that when on screen with her co-stars, she's easily overshadowed.

It really is :) It's one of those fluffy ones

And how we were mourning for the kissing scene we never got! Such good times! I have never seen so many people angry at birds! But really, those birds should be arrested for obstruction of justice for robbing us of our kiss scene lol

I'm not sure unless they made him really young. In the vids she had a married woman's updo and she Han Yan were holding hands! I think you might be right lol I thought he would look a lot older.

Actually I saw some vids and photo of them with their child so my heart has soften up a little lolol

LOL the OG's know who they are. I know right! I miss the banter too esp everyone wanting a shirtless scene of Leo Wu lol

I'm watching to see how many times the characters actually ate a meal in this series lolol

I liked it too because Reba looks great in red lol but honestly, these C-drama producers have already ruined enough of my damn fave heroines, I will riot if it happens again lol

It started off great then went no where really quick. Such a great cast with Kenny, Li Qin, Zhao Liying, Huang Haiping all ruined by such a water down script

I will link it when I find it, just gotta go through my video history lol but nope this wasn't the cave scene. The photo showed them in official garb, in a room, and she's borrowing his hand to rest on. It looked extremely cheesy and not something she would've done in character

Yes the Couple of Mirrors and Detective L are both Republican era dramas. Great pacing and beautiful cinematography. Ancient Detective is a martial arts drama which a historical/fantasy vibe going on. All are internet dramas which I find are much better produced despite a small budget.

And yes, I loved the ML. I also loved the actor who played Ah Jie, it's a shame he only survived one episode.

He was great in Ancient Detective. He really suits ancient garb. More please.
