The actors playing Quan Rumu and Fang Yunfei are appearing in this not-yet-aired-until-2026 drama with Li Yitong, by the same production house that produced SaB, and the airing platform will be Tencent not IQiyi: https://kisskh.at/742861-gu-yue-feng-hua-lu
Qingtong died in episode 35, after Wang Quan Fugui removes the completely purified Black Grief Tree seed from her. Wang Quan Fugui dies in episode 36 to kill the Black Fox, Fang Yunfei gets a happy ending with his wife, and it ends with animated spider Qingtong turning when she hears what appears to be Wang Quan Fugui's voice calling her name.
It seems the producer screwed over Cheng Yi. From the looks of it, he was used to get investments for the drama and then without knowing the script was altered, his presence for this drama was used to promote certain side actors.
If you want a very good underrated drama, try "The Guardians". It's a Republican-era espionage thriller, and the acting is award-worthy while anchored by a strong narrative and good pacing.
'Love in Pavilion ' is highly underrated though and the best out of the 3. It did give me hope (albeit false hopes)…
I enjoyed much of "Love In Pavilion". It has a decent script, a very enjoyable ensemble cast, and well-fleshed relationships plus individuals, but I wouldn't label it a masterpiece. I enjoy the LIP OST which clocks in at almost 2 hours with instrumentals and BGM, which I shared more than a month ago at the MDL drama page: https://kisskh.at/717387-fox-spirit-matchmaker-zhu-ye-pian#comment-23775936
Once I heard certain songs, I already figured out what the ending would be, especially since it will adhere to the donghua. Even the villains had me touched (also, Charles Lin! Peng Xiaoran! what a couple!). Zhang Yunlong took out my heart. The rest of the cast nearly gave me PTSD within the final six episodes.
Awww…I put this show on hold as I wanted to know the ending and it’s good review, I ll binge watch it later……
Fast-forward button is necessary unless you have the patience of a sage. And I usually don't use FFWD button. If you watch, watch until episode 7 for the best of the FSMM: Wang Quan arc, or until episode 13. Beyond that, you're on your own :p
The screenwriting for this drama makes "Love In Pavilion" look almost like a masterpiece in comparison. Yikes.
Congratulations to everyone who watched all 36 episodes (inclusive of FFWD button) because BP issues definitely happened. Qingcheng is the first C-drama character who actually managed to make me want to hurl something hard at the screen upon seeing his face after episode 22, and hence FFWD button.
And may the producers, directors and screenwriters be ignored within the industry for at least 10 years, so no other actors and actresses will suffer the underhanded hatchet jobs that Cheng Yi was subjected to for this drama. Blurring his image multiple times (regardless of whether he stood in the foreground or the background, when two individuals were in the scene facing the audience and he is one of the two individuals) was really petty of the post-production team.
Now that I look at all of it, what happened with SaB boils down ultimately to the producer and production house.
Cheng Yi was the emotional core of this drama, and he executed his scenes well (except for episode 35 with Li Yitong at a certain place, because that's some very weird directing going on there).
May Vendetta of An give him what he truly deserves: A great role in a memorable praiseworthy drama!
Episode 1 isn't catching me at this moment, but I believe it's the mood I'm in and nothing to do with the drama.…
SaB- I don't know what to think about the ending. Since I watched LIP first when it came out, the scenes involving any flashbacks always make me emotional.
But the separation arc was nuts. Since it was supposedly essential to the story for the different components such as a certain water orb and purification of the Grief Tree seed, writers should have done a better job justifying it before it happened. That said, I felt so sour about how Cheng Yi was treated that I paused the whole drama and waited for Express to drop since I don't pay extra as VIP membership. The writing for Li Yitong's character also went somewhat awry during the arc.
And Qingcheng- I have never had any C-Ent character make my blood pressure rise, until that character which wasn't even in the original donghua.
"Egg and Stone" is definitely needed. Caesar Wu and Xu Lu and Riley make me laugh too much XD
I hope the beautiful theme song for the movie 《花漾少女杀人事件》is a decent consolation of sorts:…
You're welcome. This fine lady is the only actress under the age of 30 that I'm a fan of, whereby I place her within the same category as Gong Li and Lin Ching-hsia and several other actresses including Kathy Chow: She doesn't need romance to carry a script, she has a very nuanced riveting acting range, and she's one of the few actresses who can act alongside or in opposition with good to great male co-stars of any age and is so naturally comfortable with them.
She'll give a fantastic performance opposite Mark Chao. So far no release date D:
When I watched "The Shadow's Edge" in the cinema and saw how she acted opposite Tony Leung, I was very impressed. He is a strong scene-stealer, and she held her own. It was an exchange full of suspense, and she nailed it.
Like I've always said, FAKE PRINCESS/woo-is-me girl has ALWAYS been the TYPE that valves status and has a ego/pride…
This is a discussion page. People give their views, and civil discussion is fine.
I wrote two posts in reply to Enigma05's post about PTSD, to include:
{PTSD was first known as "shell shock" from the after-effects of artillery shelling such as shockwaves, especially for soldiers during and after World War I. Shell shock was PTSD + TBI (traumatic brain injury). PTSD indirectly replaced shell shock as a diagnosis in 1983.}
And here's my view about Tang Lici's view on romance in this drama this far, 28 episodes in: He's in love with A-Shui as much as he has non-platonic feelings for Fang Zhou: Zero
That said, the way the drama has been executed, people can find subtext to ship because it's all been artfully done, rightfully for fanservice. There is nothing invalid about my view either.
When A-Shui tried to feed blood to Tang Lici so as not to allow Ms Hong to see and why, I included in a much earlier summary. I didn't see any romance, as much as a necessity and A-Shui being intelligent as she has been all along.
Shen Langhun is simply getting Tang Lici to realise a different way of looking at A-Shui and things, but by no means is he advocating for Tang Lici to get together with A-Shui nor implying anything romantic. He just wants Tang Lici to realise that everybody has different ways of living, and how one chooses to live may not be seen as positive or beneficial by another, but that view could be wrong.
You should consider to quit using Capslock when giving your negative views about Chong Zhunji, because it comes across as shouting or immature sniping.
Thanks for sharing. My friend plays Gu Qin, and she is offended by how the casts abuses the instrument…I reminded…
That user tends to share first on their bilibili account, followed by their youtube account. It was the same for Coroner's Diary and all other music. They will do so at some point :)
It is! Him at doing stunts/wirework, and Cheng Yi with sword scenes. Impressive work.
Whoops. I don't think this ballet segment is available on Youtube but in the meantime, enjoy multiple loops of Luo Yunxi's wirework in this video short!
