Your welcome!!
The video really magnify his various expression as Tang Zhou. I have to say that he is indeed much better compared with himself in L&R. The expression is far richer and natural. Watching him is such a joy.

I see that you like Tang Zhou so much. I found this video in bilibili that collecting Tang Zhou micro-expression. I think you will like it. I just know that I cannot stop smiling when watching it.

I just ... lost any empathy toward the son when he caused Cheng Xu death with his stupidity. He treated war as a game. It served him right when he lost his son and the woman he loved later on.

That drama certainly gave me lots of crying moment. Yeah, I remember that scene. I hated FL so much. And that stupid son emperor of hers. I kind of dancing with glee seeing the mother - son pair suffered after Xiao Cheng Xu death. Serves them right!

I hope you are right that Draw the Line will be released soon. And I hope Youku will release South Wind. I don't know what they are waiting for anyway. I read in China forum that Youku bought South Wind when the drama was not yet done filming. IS is a drama that they invested and appointed Cheng Yi as ML.

In The Promise of Chang An, I hated the FL very much. I even wanted Cheng Yi character there to die quicker so that he can get relieve from FL.

I hear that two of his drama will also come out this year: Draw the Line and South Wind. Hopefully it is true. I really like his acting. No actor can play with my emotion like him.

Xuan Ye.
And Cheng Yi truly use his voice for this character?! Wohooo!

We need Lu Ming the cupid ASAP. I hope the drama will repay our heartache will tons of sweet when our pairing resolve their misunderstanding.

If ep 39+ as part 2 does not air immediately, I can go crazy with the waiting. No way I can handle the angst for weeks

Honestly, when the ML is him, it is hard for me empathize for FL. My heart just goes to him. It happens literally every time I watch his dramas, no exception. He .... kind of have a way with my emotion.

Me, too. I will a crying mess by the end of mortal realm arc .....
Tang Zhou is just a young boy (barely 20 years old based on the story). This is so sad.

Before, I think. Yan Dan expression in the pond seems have a tint of evasion.

My heart breaks for Ying Yuan .......

Ummm, yeah. Lots of posters in China forum also trash this company. They said that this company doesn't treat their artist well enough (even though I don't understand what is the definition of "not good").

I tend to agree with you regarding Huan Rui. Despite their flaw (which I still not clear about), they certainly have part in propelling Cheng Yi to his current popularity. Not by marketing or anything, but by giving him trust to become ML in their drama when he was still practically unknown. The rest, it will depend on Cheng Yi himself whether he can grasp to the opportunity.

Don't worry about talking too much about Cheng Yi acting, hahahaha. When people talking about him, his acting skill will always be a regular topic. I also become his fans because of his acting skill. Not only mannerism, I love how he can hold a stable characteristic for the whole drama. Like, his acting in every episode is in line with each other. With other actor/actress, I often find myself annoyed: like how you can be sad in one moment and then feel nothing in the next. With Cheng Yi, I have never experienced this kind jarring moment again.

We should have. The later part of the drama should be focused on the male lead storyline, thus high chance we will get lots of main pair screen time

Exactly! If we want to judge with clear head, it is enjoyable to see how Tang Zhou and Yan Dan fall to each other all over again as when they are in heavenly realm. They come from two difference races that are enemy to each other but still love creep to their heart once again. If only we have more episode .......

Yu Mo thinks that Tang Zhou is Marshal Huo De as of now. I hope he can see things from Ying Yuan POV with the growth of their friendship.

Yes! Usually we will still be invested with supporting role or secondary pairing. But with IS, it is as if people will only satisfied if we can have episode with 90% focus on main pairing as in episode 10.

Regarding airing schedule, as far as I remember, people there kind of fine with it. They are used to this kind of scheduling anyway. No need to compare with Love between Fairy and Devil. As I can see it, the age demography and group of IS audience is different from those that love watch LBFD. It is very unlike international audience here.

IS audience is more mature and dominated by age 24-40 years old with the highest being 31 -40. And from what I have read in their forum, these people are lover of great acting and kind of loath that IS being compared with LBFD. Everywhere, I can see they are praising Cheng Yi and Yang Zi acting.

Indeed. I also hate those dramas when everything happen is an instant. They just met, and the next few episodes, they are ready to die for each other ....... Just ......

Honestly, IS pace in mortal realm is quite okay. It is not slower than other xianxia drama out there. But, I think lots of us here feel trepidation of rushed ending. If only we still have 80 episodes total, I think people will be able to enjoy this slow pace with more ease.

They do.
I even think that they are more colorful in their complaint than us, hahahaha. They also share the same thought of us regarding Ying Deng has too many screen time. This is one of those dramas where the majority (or perhaps nearly all) of audience is invested on the main pairing only.
