MikaM

true

yeah, I remember the times when it was 9.3

when she is 14 there is no romance, she found out she likes him when she was 17, poor guy had no idea though.
So the age gap is just a petty reason to hate this drama

can you embarrassing yourself more, please?

I have nothing against zmy, I already said it thrice. It's not her fault she is used by haters to stir fights. Wish her a long, successful career. Also, I dont compare them, they are not at the same level.
That op (OliviaW ) I answered came on HL page to scold ZLS, saying HL would be better if ZMY would be SZ, coz she acts better youth/young chars before she post here (several hours before, then moved here and continued to scold ZLS). Thats why I pointed to her next youth dramas after WIFTY, which both flopped (which again, it's not hate, just facts) and I said she should be able to make her own dramas hits first...then we can talk what she would be able to do for other actress' drama which is already a big hit
I didnt see yet a keluli scolding unprovoked, and definitely I wont be the first one. More, I brought only legit data
I should talked about yunhe and kuyun data, after airing HL made 42 mil/ep mil/ep (ranked 10), WIFTY didnt made top 50 yunhe. In february 2024 HL average views 51 mil/ep (ranked 11), WIFTY is ranked 93

Some ppl have just to shut up and support their favs in a better way, not saying their fav would make HL better
Financial report cant be bought, or youku/ALibaba will steal their own hat. More, both dramas were aired on the same platform.
Also, comparing meanstreams with idol dramas/webseries, a propaganda series+an unpopular theme as traditional chinese medicine with youth/romance dramas is unfair. Even so, Houtong was streamed twice on gov channels (CCTV), chapter 1 gained the biggest cctv score. Gen Z is full of awards, it made the short list of chinese quality dramas presented at Cannes Festival in oct 2023. However, could these dramas do better? Definitely
Douban is just like MDL, has nothing to do with official data, the playground of PR companies, fans and haters

PS. Happy to see some haters to whom i answered deleted their posts here..
Also, I'm amazed to see you also shade ZLS and data in a certain context, even I already explained my former answer in the previous post. Houtong? Gen Z? Both did much better than WIFTY

Girl, take it easy.
Too much drama outside drama...in the end we all watch dramas/read novels for fun and meet on forums to share opinions in a decent way. Still dont understand your previous post, but I'm not curious
See you around!

You asked why, I answered why I think it's that way. I may be wrong or not, just my opinion
They leaked some pics with a reason so soon. They tested targeted audience: novel readers, manga fans, leads fandoms, HL drama fans etc. They work at looks (styling-make up, garderobe), they make changes. They removed WYF bangs after manga fans rioted on weibo. In fact is a good thing ppl talk. Just imagine nobody talk about it. This is called feedback and prod team needs it
In the end, what you expected, ppl are waiting for FF, not only leads fandoms or sl fandoms, but HL drama fans, too, coz HL was a huge hit int (4,5 billions views for eng HL tag in tiktok isnt a few, first chinese drama as views and second as points on Netflix). In Mainland it made Youku financial report twice, and brought 51mil/eps. All HL drama fans were/are waiting for HL spin off. And believe me, they arent haters, but obviously they have some expectations. And what happens here is happening on weibo as well.
I am a huge fan of HL, but I also love BJT. I have good reasons to wait FF and honestly, I hope it will be a hit

You want FF would have no conn with HL, but it is related and this is a fact. It is not a stand alone and no1 will treat it this way, maybe only those ppl who didnt read novels and didnt see HL

Happens with all dramas which are related somehow with other dramas, and if the first one released happen to be a big hit, things are difficult for the next one.
I saw this happened to TLI recently, which was the story of the son of the main chars of ALP. The prod team changed everything, even the names of some chars in order to build TLI as a stand alone. Things with FF will be even more complicated as far it isnt a stand alone, the storyline has same time line with HL, same chars and it seems the prod team decided to bring in SY's story Sz&DJX story. If there will be differences, ppl will notice and comp, it's inevitable.
More, all novels fans have a unique view for chars, which is the same in both novels. Victor Ma had lots of haters ( novel fans), also CZY or ZLS before drama was aired. But HL followed novel closely and novel fans were pleased, they ended by loving Victor Ma as SY (I remember his char heat index grew insanely after the first eps were aired). Wonder how they will manage with FF, coz till now it looks kinda diff. from the novel. Manga fans complained already:WFY bangs (which they removed if you noticed), clothes etc
About FF, I think BJT wont be a problem (I saw some Reuters and I am-honestly- pleased), but there will be ppl who wont see ZRN as WYF (I am one of them, I think she is too cute for this char, but I may be wrong). Also, new actors for SZ&DJX (bringing their story in SY's story in fact)is risky to a miss

dramas have the same chars, novels were both written by the same author, so the vision of the chars is the same.
Sang family is rich and SZ is elegant and chic and this shouldnt be changed. SZ wore brand clothes in HL, had 16 brand bags.

If you dont like that, make new chars with diff names, diff personalities, different clothes.

HL is considered the Chinese parent story of FF (even in descr. of FF on this page you will find it) so they are more than related

I can see the clothing is different, which I think is a miss. In novel, SZ and DJX dont appear much, it's SY's story. But if the prod team brought SZ and DJX, to enrich the story line or whaever else reason, then they must fit in decor. Or would they make SZ char miserable after she married DJX, which will be another miss. A big one

This drama has BJT as lead, so it will be a hit no matter what. Maybe it wont explode as his last drama did, but it will be fine. So dont be so upset for certain things ppl will say honestly

I replied to the OP who insulted ZLS on HL page and kept insulting her here. But you felt the urge to support her take, saying we are jealous (which is really embarrassing: actresses arent the same level, no need to comp)

FACTS: WIFTY reached 9k (heat index) on 24/6 which is 5 more days after vip ended. HL airing on 20 june
Even we talk about haters or passers by who loved HL and were interested in watching another adaptation of a novel by the same author, HL made WIFTY known. Or else, WIFTY would reach 9k heat in first days of airing, but ppl didnt talk about it before HL was aired
WIFTY couldnt manage to break 10 k heat, it isnt considered a hit. All ZMY youth dramas after WIFTY have worse data than WIFTY
You can take it or leave it

My comment isnt hating on WIFTY or the FL, is a truth. During HL airing, tones of haters comp dramas, actresses, gave HL 1 and WIFTY 10. They came on HL page to spread hate. If you dont know coz your account is new, just be quiet
And they keep doing the same shi**ts even after 8 months, as this op did

If you, gals, like ZMY acting more, WIFTY more than HL, it's ok. But dont scold ZLS and HL saying ZMy would act better in HL than ZLS did. She should be able to make hits from every each of her dramas first, which she cant yet and this is not hate, is a truth. But if you still have the nerve to say it, be ready to receive an answer and then embarrassing yourself playing victim card.

These are 2 different situations: TLI was the story of ALP's leads son. None of the chars from ALP appeared in TLI, even names were changed. Even so, ALP fans werent very happy with TLI.
FF has at least 3 chars we find in HL. How happy drama fans will be? Coz there are ppl silly enough to say (already) SZ from HL would be better acted by the actress who plays SZ in FF

SZ would never wear those clothes in HL

they wont be part of FF project. Their chars will be played by other actors

Jealous?!? What for?
Look how I rated WIFTY and how you rated HL.
Stop embarrassing yourself more

There is no hate.
This op came on HL page and said Sang Zhi would be better acted by ZMY than ZLS coz she acts better young chars.
All things I wrote are purely true. Saying a drama or 2 flopped, when they really did, it's not hate (please do search yunhe and kuyun data for the dramas I pointed to)
Sorry you dont like it.

Please, try to avoid to bring here unnecessary infos. As far these infos do not concern ZLS and her work, lets keep this section clean. Every such post only brings unnecessary hate
She wont do that drama, at least not soon, her team said it's fake. That drama hasnt even a license so it cant turn on the camera

Gen Z was selected into Shanghai’s 2023 for the "Chinese Culture Goes Abroad" project

Kuyun and yunhe data lists are the most important and they measure how successful a drama is.
TLI was downrated and scolded by waves of haters during its airing`. Just coz their fav dramas were aired in the same time or coz of other old issues
Now honestly, how bad was TLI comp with their fav dramas, as far those dramas have worse results? They said TLI flopped. Oh, well, not true...your fav's dramas flopped!

Kuyun:
TLI ranked 5
AASOL- 12
SAF6-21
SAF4-23

Yunhe:
3. TLI average views per ep: 37 mil/ep
...............................................................
7. AASOL:25.4 mil/ep
.............................................................
SAF4 &6 not in top 10

not ready to see another SZ and another DJX. Dunno why they changed the script. They risk a lot
