For me, some of the greatest romance dramas/films do not need to rely on kiss scenes or such to convey attraction, longing or chemistry. I think all of that has been very well portrayed so far here.

There’s a lot of other stuff this drama has going for it that it doesn’t need to wholly rely on romance to succeed in my opinion. The politics (so far) have been fairly engaging and not completely dumbed down like in most dramas of this type. The supporting characters also have their own storylines and aren’t just clearly black or white here, which is always a plus.

We still have half of the drama to go, so it can still crash and burn like many a drama, but I’m hoping for the best.

I didn’t watch the video, but if that director did say that, even in a joking way, that’s just not appropriate in my mind.

Regardless of all that stuff, this has been an actually entertaining and engaging show so far. Still very typical idol drama, but at least I care about the characters and am interested to see how Xiao Wuyi can accomplish all that he is trying to do.

I knew when I saw Peter Ho playing him that his character wouldn't be so simple.

Definitely the most memorable visual so far.

Yeah, just finished it. There are some weird fast edits that I'm not a fan of, but it was a satisfying win against the Eagle King jerk.

Yeah, I never watch these type of shows, but I did catch clips of DHTR back when Dilraba and Wang Anyu were in it.

Actually quite enjoying this. Ep 9 probably my favorite so far.

Thank you!

Hopefully filming will start in August

Ok thanks!

I wish there was a way to read the novel? Or is there? I couldn’t find it

LOL, looks like the cast of DHTR having fun shooting this "trailer." Apparently it’s some task, they’re trying to get 1 million likes by a certain time today.

Happy ending for them!

Now in Cancun: https://m.weibo.cn/detail/5319722409132177

While we wait for news on TDOSAL and hopefully Bai Yao Pu, DHTR 8 is supposed to air in Sept. Cast and crew heading to next destination:

I still firmly believe the better ending for SML was not death but a chance to be a better version of himself. That’s where all the storyline with his grandfather was going. Just a weird ending overall.

BOP is just ok so far. Not feeling much from the performances so far and the storytelling is the usual - lots of action but not much insight into the characters, at least after 2 eps. Will give it more time.

Yep that storyline with Gao Ran got completely abandoned.

I’m trying out Blossoms of Power, which I’m not sure about yet, will give it some more episodes. And yes, will check out Key to the Phoenix Heart too.

Yes, I had a good time!
