LOL well it looks like Tencent is buying iQiyi so maybe in the future they will be faster with subs. I believe that English subs is not a priority for Youku for the time being but now that Tencent/iQiyi is ganging up against them maybe it will change.

Yes you have to be VIP to watch up to 14. Youku doesn't;t have an English app yet. I found it here also up to 12 but raw:

Exactly!!!

Me three. Both AOL and Pillow Book were good books (that I did end up reading since I bailed on the dramas). I realize I have a problem with that director because he likes to make women look stupid and naive - he dedicates endless episodes of his dramas towards doing this. Neither book actually does that. Since then, I get rashes when I watch either Yangzi or Dilraba (whom I used to love). I will never watch another one of his dramas.

First time I have watched any of them but they seem quite good.

Heheh... I definitely have not researched any of these dudes as diligently as you have then...

I don't subscribe Tencent but Youku has 14 episodes out already, which is on track.

LOL! That's an awesome answer, much nicer than mine! Naturally I was punished it was inexcusable even though it felt good!

Heh... I had an aunt like that... I finally told her that she is silly and I can always lose weight but she will always be silly. I had to stand in the corner for hours for that but it was worth it. She never mentioned my weight again (which I lost years later after I fell in love with tennis and play all the time). LOL as for the toilet that is too much info for me I don't wanna know but I guess if there is less input there is less output too???

I am glad I am not the only one who noticed the actor playing Lord Lu was imitating Chen Kun's Ning Yi down to the sibilant whisper way of speaking. I have watched ROP so many times I saw it right away. I am however less impressed because many of those characteristics work for Chen Kun's face and vibe but not for his. He is a young actor that still needs to find his own style which he obviously has not.

Hahaha... if I had a penny for every time some relative exclaim at the top of their lungs.... wah.... when/why did you get so fat...?!? Actually an actress (only a mildly famous one) that was dating my friend told me the shoots are grueling and go on round the clock. They can't eat or drink too much or their face looks bloated on camera so its not necessarily dieting. They just tend to lose a ton of weight during each production. This actress she is a total foodie and she can really drink too but she claims she never has to worry because once she goes on set it all goes away. They were fat shaming Zhao Lusi bc apparently she insisted on eating between shoots and her face looked quite swollen in many shots in Love of Thousand Years. It is also why btw whenever my friends and I have birthday dinners we try to take pictures before and not after dinner.

Yeah stalking is scary and there are enough meet the fans events that you can go to if you really want to meet them. But dreams are probably best. Someone from one of the big production companies told me most of the actors are very thin and their official height is usually exaggerated. Very, very thin is also how my friend described Hu Ge...

Two more means you may as well finish!

Yeah it is only in the beginning.

Heheh, anything is possible... My friend just told off a bunch of Hu Ge's fans for stalking him into the first class lounge and disturbing the peace and then she gave him a dirty look, sat down and just ignored him! I was gasping with outrage and horror that she didn't even try to chat him up!!!

I can't seem to find this. Anyone have a link?

If you go on the production studio tours it is not that hard to get into visit a set while filming. They usually let some fans in. At least they did pre-covid I am not sure what the policy is these days. I am hoping they will let fans in again bc my friends and I have a girls' trip there planned once travel bans lift again.

Yeah I feel a bit sorry for Mu Yuan but not that much. I don't respect characters that know they can't have the person's heart but wants them anyway. I just think they don't have enough self respect or self love. It is the drama trope that annoys me the most in men and women.

I don't have AOL baggage like most of the viewers. I actually couldn't stand the Jinmei character and dropped it early in the show.

I can be your wing woman. I think he is very handsome but he is not my type. I didn't even put him on my Hengdian trip wish list.

OMG thanks for saving me the trouble of going back to the novel. She sounds like a complete bratty airhead. You are right she is more likable here although I feel she did lead Mu Yuan on as well. It just sounds like the source material is really terrible. I just like these slightly darker character profiles - like Tou kind of a playboy /bad boy just like the ML in Love of Thousand Years was supposedly as well. I am bored with the too good to be true completely virtuous ML we typically get - kind of the Mu Yuan type.
