WK1

His tail looks great. They just don't want to show too much of it in the trailer; just showed enough, so that we will remain curiously hooked.

Youku supposed to have hosted a conference this morning, on TBW. Anyone heard anything about that???

Yes, if Twin Cities wrapped up filming that long ago, they should air first. As it is, it is rather strange that they are airing it so late from end of filming. I will be watching that, while waiting for TBW.

Agree with you. I think that is why they gave her that red eye, plus that fierce expression, to convey that bad ass attitude, despite the innocent looking red/white tails. It seems that those tails can now be used as a weapon, not just to make her look cute in TMOPB.

She must be good, hence they kept using her. Can't be helped that some don't like it. Cannot please everyone.

Likely all dubbed. Not sure about Allen's dubber, but for Reba, sounds like the same dubber from ELOD and TLB.

All the costumes and hairstyles look great. Even the main villain. She looks so sweet, you cannot tell she is evil from her looks. She will need "good" facial expressions to portray evil. And a good dubber

She definitely look better in those red and white tails, compared to black. Those last few seconds in the trailer, her eyes turned red. It does make her look rather fierce

From the trailer, at least their lips will touch, which is already better than in TLB. For sure, no more parrots this time.

She has those 9 fox tails. Going to remind viewers of Baifengjiu in TMOPB. But this is going to be a fierce and fully-armed version.

Yes, beautiful indeed!!

It looks rather fast paced. And there will be a kiss? I read a recent article that says Allen will indeed be willing to do a kiss, if the script calls for it.

It is not very common. Just maybe a few male actors? In the case of Leo Wu, the ML in TLB, he was a last minute replacement for another actor. Before he signed up to act in TLB, he had already promised the director that his first screen kiss will be in a movie. Hence, he cannot break his promise by doing a mouth to mouth kiss in TLB.

Do not need to worry. For sure Mirror Twin cities will air first

Producers in China will never let two blockbusters clash and split the audience

If mirror twin cities airs in November, we are likely to see TBW only next year. Maybe around Chinese New Year?

Thanks so much for the update. I do not think you need to use the spoiler to hide all this information. Everyone would surely like to know the good news

That is good! There has been way too much speculation over the number of episodes. Good for Youku to clear things up. Releasing a trailer can only mean that we will be seeing this drama real soon. Perhaps in 2-3 months?? They might give an indication at the conference too.

Much will depend on airing dates of other big-name dramas. All these production companies, they talk to each other all the time. And they do not like to go head -on competition with each other. That will split up the audience. They will surely coordinate and avoid direct clash of broadcast dates.

If they are about done with post production, they will apply for airing license and pick broadcast dates that avoid too much competition.

A great great majority of us agree with your view.

According to the producer, the use of animination in some of the scenes was meant as a tribute to the author of the manhua, as the original source is a comic. Some people felt that they were used in order to cut cost, which the producer disagrees. Yet other feel that the animation was used, because this drama was filmed during the height of the pandemic last year. Large scale movements of people may well cause COVID-19 to spread among the cast and production people.

To be sure, if life-actions were used in place of those animation, the drama would have gotten even more viewership in China. Not all perhaps, but maybe just one or two of the crucial ones.

Be that as it may, a great great majority of us here on the page still loved this drama to death. Which is why many still come back to this page, months after it finished its airing. Even with the animation, it is still a classic in so many ways.

I think so long as they can show good chemistry in other forms, it should be ok. If they really want ratings or viewership to go up, you can be sure that some kisses will do the trick. Not necessarily the kind we saw in YAMG. Those are ok for a modern drama, but way over the top for a historical drama. Even some kind of gentle lip touching between Reba and Allen can send viewership and ratings up. If that is too much, they can kiss on the cheek.

If Allen's wife gets along well with Reba, she should know that Reba is a professional. She will do all these kisses and just move on. She will never try to romance her male co-stars, especially when they are married.

I just read up and realised that Allen's wife is also an actress. If so, she should understand that if the novel and the script call for kisses, doing harmless non-passionate kisses is all part of the job.

Not possible for the entire series to be reduced to 22. Originally supposed to be 60. Birdlady below mentioned that it has been compressed to 43, which is why filming for the series was so fast. Instead of having part 1 and 2, there will only be one part, 43 episodes.

I think it does make sense. Unless they have really good materials, dragging it out over 2 parts will not make the series better. Having a solid 43-episode drama is a better option.
