Posting big bright eyes and looking forward to a big bright future. I've been following the journey. I've seen the hard work. Filming three consecutive dramas as a lead, attending events and awards shows, performing on stage, dedicated to her studies and education, but never forgetting to have fun. The efforts are paying off. I can't wait to meet Xie Jiayu 💞💞💞...
That's why Ai Mi's selection for the role really wasn't surprising. HYTT was the primary and Ai Mi, one year and four days her junior, was the logical second choice.
Depending on what you like, some of us consider a significant number of recent C-dramas (anything after 2010)…
Hmmm 🤔, these are actually good points. I agree with much of it. The young prodigy trope often goes too far these days. She's out pacing Alexander the Great. So, she's definitely a little overpowered.
7 episodes down. All level. It might be an unpopular opinion here, but I'm loving the restrained affection between the leads. They are doing a fantastic job. It hasn't diluted their chemistry one bit. This drama has a real cinematic quality.
The trailer is amazing. I'm looking forward to it. Those who say this is a love and romance series, watch the…
I'd typically agree if romance is the core theme. If it's not the central theme and merely a lesser component, then I don't believe it to be necessary. Following through and executing a creative vision is more important, and romantic / love aspects can be portrayed in a much softer / poetic way. To date, I don't believe Ai Mi has taken on a role where romance / falling in love is the main story driver.
I don't follow Kdrama. Is that a really popular IP?
Agreed. Roles on the big-screen are vital to being recognised as a top-flight actor. I'll definitely support her no matter what. She is one of a small handful of actors who I watch religiously, and support their projects through to the end, even if I'm particularly enjoying it. I'm just highlighting a potential pitfall of taking these types of roles. I hope people take a step back and appreciate her performance as a standalone portrayal.
Ximeng, Biantang and Great Yong are neighbouring kingdoms. Biantang is situated firmly between Great Yong and…
Thank you for giving your thoughts in such fantastic detail. Currently at Ep. 4 and thoroughly enjoying. There's an almost cinematic quality to this drama early on. Very immersive. I'm impressed with Tian Tian in the central lead role. She's stepped up and handled it well.
I don't follow Kdrama. Is that a really popular IP?
Thanks. Hmmm, that makes me a little anxious about this project. Popular IP remakes always come with a great deal of pressure / expectation. More so than book adaptations. If people loved a drama / film, they will always compare your performance to the one in the original. I recently watched "Loving Strangers", which is the Chinese remake of the popular Kdrama "My Mister". I personally enjoyed it, and thought both Mark Chao and Zhang Zifeng were outstanding. But it's not surprising there were many who held the opinion that it just didn't match the atmosphere of the original work. There are some roles that are so well played you just can't see anyone else in them. Which in many ways is unintentionally unfair to any actor tasked with playing the role in the future. I am guilty of this myself.
