They can easily use good CGI to mask it, so that when we see those scenes, it will not be obvious to us. Once that happens, it should be ok. Just like all those wires that actors/actresses wear when filming fight scenes in historical dramas. Once not visible, we don't really care.

She did have a number of lead roles in the past, did have two good dramas in 2021 but nothing for 2022, which is quite sad. She needs to join a good agency which believes in her talents and is willing to fight for more lead roles for her.

Apart from Sleepless princess, I also watched her in Unforgetable Love, which is also a good drama. I did not watch A river runs through it, but the reviews are not bad.

Between Yang Zi and Reba, almost impossible to say who is a better actress. I think they are at about the same level. So, I am not sure what made Reba more popular than Yang Zi in China (going by number of Weibo followers).

Do they find Reba's off screen personality more fun? Cute? More humble?? Or, is it her facial features? As a non-Han Chinese, her facial features are definitely different than Yang Zi's, but Yang Zi's visual is also good.

And also, endorsement deals. Reba has lots and lots of them. What makes her so popular with all these product owners? Do they find her real voice cute and charming?? Coupled with a beautiful face? In this regard, her being scandal-free surely helps. Yang Zi has lots of such deals, too! Just that Reba has more.

And I am really afraid to start a Weibo account. Really afraid I will spend too much time reading all the wonderful stuff there.

Because of Love has great acting by both the ML and FL
To fly with you, a youth drama about ice skating (dedicated to the Winter Games), great acting by both ML and FL
The Autum Ballad is good, but because they use the actors' actual voices recorded while filming, the production quality isn't as good, though the story and acting is quite good.

For dramas in 2021, My Fated Boy; The Rational Life and You are my hero are all good, if you are into noona romance. I was very surprised that My Fated Boy actually showed more skin than YAMG. Remembrance of things past is also very good drama.

Great!

For me, that is good enough evidence to show Reba's popularity and dispel any argument about 'ghosts fans'.

Anyway, I do believe that Yang Zi is indeed a very good actress. She has three big hits in the leading role (Go Go Squid; Ashes of Love; Battle of Changsha) and a number of hits as the 2nd FL (Ode to Joy).

I also have very little doubt that Reba has already caught up with her, as Reba too has a number of big hits in main role (ELOD; TLB; YAMG. etc) and in secondary role (TMOPB; Diamond Lover).

They are both extremely popular in China; the evidence you have provided in Weibo activities shows who is ahead, at this moment.

Oh, I do not have a Weibo account. I suppose I do need a Weibo account, in order to check?

Nice to see you here again, after YAMG. TLB never grows old. Remember to go to the page of The Blue Whisper. Not sure when that one will air, but so many of us have been on the page of TBW for months now.

This is such a good and very detailed explanation.

Yes. Same here. Still hoping they will air this either end of Feb, or even somewhere in middle of March, which will still be better than April.

I asked this question because it has often been claimed that Reba has about 75m followers in Weibo. Does Weibo keep track of this number?? I suppose it must be indicated somewhere, or else how would someone be able to come up with this number?

Are veriable number of participants in these fan engagement activities??

You are referring to interactions in Weibo?

Quite obvious. But, as it is, waiting for TBW is causing us enough emotional energy and heartache. Let us not behave like those toxic fans in China and get into any kind of fan 'war' with them. Will not benefit us, nor them.

They have their rights and freedom to chase different stars, and a different drama. We know what Dilraba is capable of, and that is good enough.

We respect their turf. Hopefully, they will respect ours too. Peaceful coexistence is best for all parties.

I find this rumour quite humourous. And strange. Whoever tries to spread it, completely forgot that there is a month in our calender called 'March'. So they jumped from the original rumour of Feb directly to April.

Yang Zi and Cheng Yi are great actors too! We are here because we just prefer Dilraba and will support her and whoever is her male lead.

We just wait calmly for TBW.

Yeah! They can enjoy IS, we enjoy TBW.

Nah. Let them be. They can claim whatever they want. Not worth getting ourselves worked up with matters like that.

Just another rumour. Take it with a big pinch of salt.
