Sorry. I think I miss-wording my previous comment. I want to imply that "event though" she has the thought, she will never dare say anything against xianxia. Even more because she is become so popular mainly thanks to Ashes of Love.

Yeah. It seems all the current top actor/actress got their popularity through staring in xianxia, including Yang Zi.

Exactly!! Real life already so stressful. It is not the genre fault that it is used to propel young inexperienced actor/actress these past decade. I personally abhor the practice. Because acting in xianxia is different from modern drama. There is certain body language and demeanor. That cannot be learnt in short time.

Some of her review is good. However, ever since I saw she kind of bashing Love and Redemption, I realized that she didn't like xianxia. I truly don't understand someone who claimed to love TMOPB can hate other xianxia like she did. I don't remember she ever said anything good for any xianxia drama aired after TMOPB. So, I just stopped listening to her review for any xianxia drama. People really need to stop taking her words as bible, though.

I don't know. I love to read comments in Douban forum and video from Station B. It is more often to see comments from Cheng Yi fans and passer-by than from Yang Zi fans. It is peaceful does not mean they care about this drama.

She will never dare to say that. I believe that there are lots of xianxia lover in China and all of them will be very offended if she said that. Therefore, what her fans doing back then actually hurt their own idol.

Moreover, xianxia is one genre that differentiate chinese drama with those from Korea and Japan. I don't think China will ever stop producing xianxia. The problem is that xianxia needs bigger budget to make it looks good. Not to mention its high demand on actor/actress appearance. It is difficult to have all correct ingredient to create great xianxia. I think IS is the first that have good combination of main leads. Usually, either ML or FL will be "wrong".

Change their minds from what to what?
I am so tired of this debacle with her fans. What do they want anyway with not supporting this drama?!

Well, Cheng Yi and Yang Zi have lots of black fans. So .....
Also, it is the premier. It is logical if people coming there, especially when there is no IS new episode.

Yeah. I read the comment under her video, and there are people who decide to ditch IS just because of her review. Crazy.

I don't think when you are older, you will dislike certain genre. I like xianxia ever since I was a child. Now as an adult, I still love it. The difference is that I am now more critical toward acting skill, because I understand life more so I know which expression is correct, which one is wrong.

I am in my 30s and still enjoying xianxia like this drama very much. I don't bother with AvenueX for xianxia drama, because I know she hates it. On the other hand, I also cannot connect with her favorite drama. In my opinion she is too realist of person, that judge drama based on ideal logic.

Become a member is not enough. You need to pay for VIP membership to access more episodes.

In my experience watching xianxia all these years, honestly there are no ML that can prioritize his responsibility over love. Even more to have personality combination like Ying Yuan. Lots of xianxia out there has either cold ML or arrogant prideful ML that will throw everything in front of love. Perhaps you can try The Journey of Flower or Ten Miles of Peach Blossom. Both have ML with high standing and responsibility, even though in the end they kind of living a life revolving FL.

A word of cautions though, when you already watch Cheng Yi's xianxia, you might find it kind of repulsive to watch other xianxia with other actor. Either you find the acting is lacking or the looks is lacking.

Will try finishing other Cheng Yi drama: Stand by Me.

The spark is certainly there. It is just like Ying Yuan. Something about Ying Yuan/Tang Zhou just fire her up and pique her interest. I think she like a man that can challenge her.

Yes. Innocence - pure feeling. That is why I am so looking forward to his Xuan Ye character here. I want to see how he will fare playing a villain

I see nothing intimate-romantic in Cheng Yi - Yang Zi relationship. They seem to be just long - close friend. The one that you are very comfortable talking to, but not as romantic partner.

CP promotion usually is done to sell the drama. But as I have seen, CP promotion usually backfires to the actor/actress themselves. It is better to not have CP promoted actually, because people tend to ship real life person in the end. Regarding CP, this drama is in a very good position currently. People ship Ying Yuan/Tang Zhou vs Yan Dan. But no one (or very very minority) ship Cheng Yi vs Yang Zi. What a relief ....

Hahahahaha! I say he is just old-fashioned. Perhaps because of his upbringing (we never know). But there is something with his temperament and aura that just so suitable for fairy like character. He is just .... felt so pure somehow, for the lack of better word.

Please do!! I love reading fanfic!

It is not rare. But they needs to be known to have explosive chemistry that loved by audience. The couple from Eternal Love (not TMOPB) is paired multiple times because people love their chemistry.

We have hope for Cheng Yi and Yang Zi. As long as this pairing is widely popular after IS and people wish to see them together. In entertainment business, money will talk in the end. As long as they know this pairing can become a cash cow, they will paired them up again.
