Yups, that ending enraged me too.

Ah... tyvm my friend🤗... its like they are TRYING to pick cheesy English titles... slaps forehead

Lol... its not me... no one spotted it yet its from the lyrics of Goodbye My Lover.

I think its more than that - they are simply terrified of idols having too much influence over the masses.

On the Douban ALP thread there were comments like - It is obvious that Xu Kai is not as attracted to ZDY as Bai Lu.... I almost cried with laughter.

Sadly topping any celebrity ranking list is career endangering nowadays.

Just putting this out there and be prepared to be shocked by who is on there:

Disclaimer: I don't normally watch modern romance dramas, this was just research.

Yes I like that the story is fresh but some of the logic is a bit iffy...

Hehehe... that thread was dangerous... you could not say a half critical word without getting cyber bullied by a posse of rabid fans. The best thing about watching a bad drama is making fun of it but if you can't even do that...

Lol that is a very low bar... ELOD must be the worst xianxia ever. I read the book for ALP and the few episodes I saw failed to capture the essence of the novel so I dropped it.

Well given what happened to him I think its better he doesn't remember and just falls for Shiyi all over again.

ZDY actually has very limited range of expressions and they are all ugly cry or childish cute, which are adorable kid expressions but I find very unseemly in a grownup. She can't do a wide range of in between emotions which doesn't matter in movies bc they are only 2 hours, her time is limited. In dramas actresses like her get totally busted - Zhang Ziyi is also the same. ZDY ruined Sparrow which should have been a masterpiece were it not for her lousy interpretation. I didn't watch ALP.

My guess is yes but lots of stuff just started so hard to say if it stays top…

Yeah but it takes a lot of time and ZDY probably didn’t want to. It is one of the reasons she got heavy criticism for that. I don’t like her acting at all.

She is definitely not one of my favourites although I find her gorgeous. As an actress I think she is ok and her best role was TLB which I really enjoyed. But I also don't like many traffic actors... you are not weird it is good to have your own opinion even when everyone else doesn't agree with you.

Well if they do historicals its usually dubbed irrespective of whether they can deliver the lines themselves. But there are actors like Yang Zi who try to make it a point to dub themselves. You can just assume actors that come from the big screen don't need to be dubbed, if they are its for production related reasons.

I have only watched Wallace's Cantonese movies so idk but most Cantonese actors don't quite meet the CHINA standard mandarin high bar. Like till this day listening to Donnie Yen, Tony Leung, Andy Lau, Louis Koo... the underlying Canto tone is unmistakable, esp to a native Canto speaker like me. But many of them have over the years gotten their Mandarin to an "acceptable" level, which is kind of where I am but I always feel very outclassed by my friends who are natural native speakers. Like I know how I would LIKE to sound but I just can't do it. It is very hard.

Ah ok... idk his personal life but I loved to hate his villain in both Princess Weiyoung and Royal Nirvana. I really don't like Zhou Liying so I didn't watch Princess Agents (and Minglan).

Yes that's the way... be brave and enjoy!

Yes that is one way but I want to support him to do his own. For movies (and certain "serious dramas") you cannot overdub, it disqualifies the production for awards. I would like to see him work at his line delivery and accent (but its HARD) so that he can graduate to the big screen. Yang Mi is the perfect example of a lazy actor whose whole career is made on her voice dubber. Her voice is so bad she squeaks through her lines. If you watch the TMOPB BTS she doesn't even bother to speak her lines properly bc she knows she is gonna be dubbed. But bc of that she gets close to zero lines in her movies and she doesn't get that many movies even though she is an icon.
