WK1

Lots of us sleep late, especially if a favourite drama is airing.

You watched Pretty Li Hui Zhen, again? Even though Reba is in that drama, I merely watched a few episodes. Too much of a rom-com for me, compared to YAMG.

Both their studios released official statements at the same time, asking their respective fans to behave civily, right before YAMG was aired. Is that what you are referring to? Or it is something else?

I am not particular who Reba acts with, but I do know, if Reba and XZ are ever in a drama, it will be a huge hit, given their immense popularity in China (and abroad).

Indeed it can happen to any of us, keeping a nice drama aside to focus on work related issues or family matters, thinking, no problem, we will come back to it later. Taking care of one mattter after another can easily make us forget. But, it is ok. Some of these matters, they are more important. Watching drama is but a leisure. Watching it late will bring us no harm; work or family issues can harm us, if left unresolved.

Yes, just a rumour. All the discussion here, you can consider it rumouring, if there is such a word. I do not know what other projects CXX is considering, but Dilraba is still busy filming commercials.

We likely will not get any confirmation till after the Chinese New Year, whether in fact Dilraba or CXX or both will pick this up.

Let me assure you, we will not be interested to chase after Bad Buddy to get more comments than that series. Like I said in my comment above, we had thousands of comments deleted by MDL admin. If those comments were added, we should have about 38000 now, easily.

It is well possible that spams get deleted, without affecting the comments count. That is why the comments count on that page went up so high. But, like I said in the comment below, people on this page were never interested to be the highest. We were simply here enjoying ourselves, discussing all the characters in this drama, discussing the plot and so on. The high number of comments is just a by-product, never our goal.

Yes, this place was like that, around April to July last year. When you step away from this page for a short break, there are so many comments, you cannot even find your own comments after your break.

Immortality will have have to wait. They may well air it next year, when the Chinese government changes its attitude toward BL dramas.

I fully understand the feeling of the people on that page. But the Chinese government is clamping down on BL dramas. At least for the moment. So, those who are waiting for that drama to air will just have to be very patient. Maybe they will change their attitude later.

They can always change the ending, if they had already purchased the rights to the source material. And usually, if the author is not the screenwriter, most screenwriters will change it, if they feel that viewers would much prefer a happy ending.

This is not a season 1 season 2 type of drama. This is part 1 and part 2. It is broken up into two parts to get around airing licensing issues. Currently, they are very strict about the episode length of a drama. The maximum length allowed currently is 40. Originally, this drama was supposed to be 60 episodes, so, to get around the issue, they split into two parts: Part 1, 30 episodes and Part 2, also 30. But during filming, they already reduced part 2.

They already obtained airing license for both parts, so Part 2 will be shown very close to Part 1. Based on other dramas who used this same airing strategy, we expect Part 2 to be screened around 1-2 weeks after part 1.

Honestly? We hardly view this as a competition. We were just enjoying ourselves with all the discussions, the comments count is just a by-product. At one stage, this page was jammed up, due to the huge number of comments, MDL admin had to delete a whole week's of comments. Some of us personally deleted hundreds more of our own comments. Without those deletions, there should be at least 38000 comments here.

I am sure they would too! If they are your friends, they likely share the same 'taste' as you.

Most welcomed!! This drama is a feel good drama. Hardly any nasty characters around. I watched it countless of times. and felt its full impact. When a person feels good, wanting to make others feel good just comes naturally.

In a way, that is also true of what we are doing here right now. It can be a waste of time by all of us, when behind the scenes, all have been decided. Our speculations are just a waste of time, with no real consequences or impact on all the decision makers in China. But, it is ok. We are just doing this to entertain ourselves, are we not? We know we are never going to make a difference.

Please do not misunderstand me. Peng Xiao Ran's acting in GMP was excellent! I just do not like it that they made her character die at the very end.

Lots of viewers do not like sad ending. Particularly if they feel that the death of any of the leads is not really necessary.

From the way you described, going to be very different from GMP or LOCH.

This does sound promising!!

Wow! Sounds like fate and destiny brought both of them the lead roles in LOA!

Definitely!! Please have no worries.

I was merely trying to put myself in Dilraba's shoes, given her career stage right now. The chances of her playing the role that Peng Xiao Ran did in GMP, or Meng Ziyi as Mu Nianci in LOCH, I do not think that will happen.

While I have not read the novel, just reading the synopsis and looking at the poster used on this page, I do suspect it will be somewhat female centric.

Definitely!! Everything is just a rumour. But, everyone here on this page love to speculate, conjecture. Reba fans as well CXX fans.

Dilraba already did a role, where she had to die (The King's woman). I did not watch that, precisely because she had to die. And maybe she was also 'used', in that drama. But since the Feng Lai Qi novel has a happy ending, it will have a different ending from King's woman. But, King's Woman is her older historical drama.

All the recent ones (Eternal Love of Dream, The Long Ballad; The Blue Whisper; and very likely in Legend of Anle), the MLs are not really conflict free. But, they had no problem putting her first, whenever they had to choose between her and something else. You could say these are more female-centric dramas. Many of them are based on source materials written by female authors.
