I've watched 35 episodes and will watch five more episodes together. It's good that this is the first time I've had the chance to watch a Chinese drama in my native language.
Then go and watch his drama silent tides it was released in December and his next drama Abyss is releasing next…
That's a propaganda type drama. About the war between Japan and China. Tag Chinese Communist Party. I like communist or secular states but I don't like war scenes.
I think Dilraba should have done a Republican-era drama next, definitely alongside a senior actor--If provided a good script. Lately, it seems she’s been acting less with senior actors; for a strong script, she shouldn’t focus on billing. Among her upcoming films/dramas, I’m most anticipating Shaolin Women Soccer. I also liked the trailer of the mini drama. And in Winds Beyond the Wall, it seems she has played a guest role. And sadly, Shaolin Women Soccer still hasn’t officially announced the cast names, and it’s uncertain whether she actually acted in Winds Beyond The Wall at all.
I think Ju Jingyi should act in a modern drama. The last modern drama she starred in, Love Under the Full Moon, was also in the fantasy genre. It feels like she has only acted in one purely modern drama in her career, while most of her other works are costume or Republican-era dramas. “Love Under the Full Moon” was modern/fantasy, and after that she hasn’t done any modern drama for about five years. After “Cheating Men Must Die,” I hope she will take on a modern drama. I would be really happy if she works in a slice-of-life and romance-type drama.
I’m not one of his haters. But instead of acting in costume/xianxia dramas every year over and over again, wouldn’t it be better to take some time and choose better scripts? Rather than picking the same kind of scripts, shouldn’t he try acting in more diverse roles?
I thought the english title is already 'A duet in blue' why hasnt it been changed
I saw it on iQiyi—the title is still in Chinese, written as Sui Ran Bu Neng Tong Shi Yong You Yi Qie (Chinese letter) and it doesn’t say A Duet in Blue there.
Same problem. I like them both but some people are ruining my mood. I read 2/3 page of novel, it seems interesting…
I didn’t read it completely either, so I just read bits here and there, and read a little more toward the end. It felt romantic. If executed well, it will get very good viewership. And what does it matter about fans-if general audiences enjoy it, that’s enough. Many neutral viewers who aren’t fans of anyone will also watch this.
just shelve this drama if you don't wanna release Youku stop making us wait always either shelve it or release…
Please don’t ever ask to shelve a drama. Making a drama involves a lot of expense and the hard work of many people. And this is a mythological drama, not something based on real events or something that would present incorrect facts. It would be a loss for Youku as well. Besides, this is a 40-episode drama.
To get traffic.in c-ent its common to use actor with good fan base ( have decent number of fans ) to get investments,or…
She’s not that bad the way you’re dragging her down. Maybe she hasn’t become that popular yet, but she does have some good works like the films Better Days, The Moment We Share, Yesterday Once More, and dramas like Word of Honor, Back from the Brink, and The Legend of Female General. I don’t think she would create issues over billing, maybe her agency is handling the negotiations. And she’s not as bad as she’s being portrayed. The real issue is that the production company is taking advantage because of Xu Kai’s Xu Lisha incident. I’m not saying this just because it’s a female-centric drama–this kind of story is something iQIYI often does.
How's the novel? Specifically, how's Shen Run character going to be like? Loved his character in trailer, though…
Maybe there is a problem. But if the drama does well, then it is solved. Many times, the original novel is not kept because everyone knows the plot, maybe it is a budget issue. Xu Kai usually acts in female-centric dramas, so if he doesn't feel the inconvenience, it is okay.

I said younger that's mean 95 line & below. Zhou Ye not consider traffic but she is a good actress. Zhou Ye is a golden rooster nominee actress (Most prestigious film award in China) and Beijing Film Academy graduate. She is just not traffic but she fine actress.
Tencent and iQiyi more hard to reach 30k or 10k. Youku heat index easier compared to Tencent & iQiyi.
More importantly, both In Blossom and VOS had to compete with dramas from other platforms. When In Blossom was released, Tencent’s Legend of Shen Li and an iQIYI drama starring Ren Jialun were also being released. VOS is also clashing with dramas from Tencent and iQIYI. That’s why it’s performing quite well. Although many Youku dramas reach 10k, most of them don’t face this level of competition.

This is 30 episode drama not 40 episode drama. How you sure he won't get screen time. You're demotivating others to not watch this drama. This drama has enough chance to be hit because casting selection good. Zhao Ye is the best actress among all the younger actresses Xu Kai has acted with. She has a good film career but is relatively not too old to drama.

This drama based on female centric novel. But I think you are wrong, trailer full of Zhou Ye & Xu Kai. So, maybe he will receive proper screen time. Some people spreading rumors here.
And sadly, Shaolin Women Soccer still hasn’t officially announced the cast names, and it’s uncertain whether she actually acted in Winds Beyond The Wall at all.
“Love Under the Full Moon” was modern/fantasy, and after that she hasn’t done any modern drama for about five years. After “Cheating Men Must Die,” I hope she will take on a modern drama.
I would be really happy if she works in a slice-of-life and romance-type drama.
