Will definitely watch if the captain from S3 are there. I was very impressed by them. Cheers

Wang YiBo has impressed me so much. I’m absolutely amazed by his ethics as a dancer and captain. I’m an ex-pro dancer myself (in ballroom and Latino though), and the way he started off with a warm up and ice breaking activity, continued to be very fair and just in his decision making, was very supportive and respectful to all of the participants, all of this just amazed me because he couldn’t have shown himself from a better light. He put so much effort into ensuring his dancers got those much coveted towels. I was really touched that he got the married couple together after the dance battle (which he won). He was also very keen to learn new things, which shows that he seeks to improve himself and his craft. If I were to dance again, I’d definitely want YiBo as a captain. His understating of dancing and music is deep and multi-layered.

The other captains also did very well, and certainly added to my positive opinion of them.

I hid my fiancé from others until he proposed and even then I released as little information to other people except for those invited to the wedding ceremony. I most certainly won’t tell others I’m pregnant until I’ve given birth, since I’ve already lost my first. I don’t like sharing such news until it’s happened not to jinx it. Why wouldn’t she be the same especially when millions of people check everything she does. I fully understand her and support her decision.

So if it’s state funded, does that mean that everybody in this film had to participate or get the cut from industry? Shivers...

Edit: for the avoidance of doubt, through my comment I meant that even if some actors wanted to say no to the project for whatever reason (schedule issues, the character didn’t suit their personal taste etc), most likely they wouldn’t have been able to say no. I’m not implying that the actors can’t feel patriotic about their country or whatever.

P.S. Stop implying I’m spreading western propaganda, I’m not. I’m originally from an Ex-Soviet country, so I’m very aware of what communist regimes are like, since I lived with it for a very long time. Cheers.

Can’t wait *thumbs up*

The plot seems interesting and I’ll definitely watch it for ZLY and Luo Jin. Can’t wait ?

Did it occur to you that she perhaps wanted to keep her private life private? Loads of stars never show their pregnant selves, unless they’re captured by the paparazzi, in fact most of the Western and a lot of the Korean stars try to keep stuff like this private.

Her husband and her aren’t selling themselves to you as idols to date, they’re actors. You get what you see in a drama or a film and that’s it. I fully understand why she chose to deny the rumours because of the paparazzi who keep following her and the attention she gets.

Just enjoy her works and that’s it. If you can’t enjoy her works, then just ignore them. Easy.

The Male and Female leads were PERFECTION. I absolutely loved their acting and interactions. Perfect portrayal of their characters. I couldn’t ask for more. Absolutely brilliant.

*resealed

Basically her Master’s and Ye Hua’s spirit/body merged and as such one body stayed under the ocean when Ye Hua revealed the Demon Lord in the bell, and another body was released from the ice Bai Qian kept it in her cave. Voila, happy ending.

Just by watching the film I understood everything, and didn’t even need to watch the drama. I absolutely loved the main leads, as such I couldn’t get used to the drama actors. Perhaps I watched way too many dramas, and that’s why I found the plot very straight-forward and the ending pretty obvious.

Thank you. I’m not hating the drama, I haven’t even watched it. I’m not that impressed with the trailer, but I’ll obviously give it a go before making any judgements on the actual drama. In fact I wrote that I’d give it a go to see if what the director chose to do is compatible with my own take on the manhua. People are taking things a bit too personal. Not to mention, I haven’t insulted the actors at all, not sure why it was taken as such.

You really need to chill, it’s just a drama. Not everybody will agree with the choices of the director. Honestly... some people nowadays. There are plenty of actors who match the description of the FL & ML, if you’ve watched any other dramas, I’m sure you’ll know. Dilraba and Wu Lei are good actors, just not fit for these roles, imo.

*she was at first rubbish at sword fighting, she learnt to fight with a sword later on, around 40% into the story.

I’ve been a fan of the manhua for so long, and have been waiting for this drama for years, but I’m disappointed with the direction they seem to have taken for the story line. A lot of the action so far in the manhua happens in the plains of Great China, among the Turks, Uyghur, and such, perhaps only 30-40% was with the Han.

Additionally, the male and female leads don’t fit their manhua counterparts at all. Dilraba always seemed to me a strong woman, but Change Ge is actually a very frail girl easily passable for a weak boy at first. Our princess is very smart and decisive, though sometimes lost in her own internal war of principles and values. She becomes more feminine towards the later parts of the released manga, but still of a small built and fragile. She used an arbalest, but certainly was rubbish at sword fighting.

Ashina Sun on the other hand is a hunk of a man, he’s tall, well built, the saying “behind him like behind a mountain” is certainly attributable to him. He towered over our heroine with a wild tiger air about him, somebody ready to rip anybody to shreds to protect what’s his. The male lead in the drama just seems too innocent, young, and of a smaller built to properly fit the image of Ashina Sun.

I guess I’ll just have to give it a go and see if I can get used to this take of the manhua.

People say that she moved on quickly, but I don’t think so. She was never actually in love with him, it was more of an infatuation. ZZ had admired SPC for a long time, but in a different way from how she admired JR. With SPC - it was about his character and life values & morals, with JR - it was his creativity and work really. She and SPC had always had good chemistry, and she felt very comfortable around him, unlike with JR. So when she saw SPC becoming more mature and thoughtful towards others, and especially towards her, she ended up falling in love with him without realising when it actually started.

+ the time passing in the drama wasn’t properly clarified. Something that took at most two weeks (the relationship deterioration & break up with JR) was stretched over many episodes because I guess they wanted to highlight that personality compatibility and only true feelings can be at the base of a lasting marriage/relationship.

From the moment of the breakup till the MLs getting together, it must’ve been at least a month or two. I mean so much stuff had happened between then and current eps, which would require at least a few months to play out, that I really don’t see how she moved on too quickly.

I guess it’s the production’s team fault for not properly specifying just how much time had passed.

I need season two! He kissed her like that, I need to know what happened next! T___T

I’m married (newly wed really), and I still watch romance dramas. Sometimes my husband joins me if the dramas aren’t too long. I love retelling him stories from dramas too and we discuss them. It’s fun!

So far, all of my predictions have come true. Hehe, I’ve seen too many dramas /sigh.

I look forward to the next episodes, I have a feeling things are about to get very interesting.

SPC and ZZ, fighting!

I started watching the drama with my husband, and he was like the architect disregards ZZ’s opinions on how she wants to live her life. JR, your proposal was appalling, it’s pretty much you asking for her permission to put her in a cage and throw away the key, LOL. PC, you cutie, I’m rooting for you! The fried egg ring is the sweetest thing ever haha
