This drama casting makes no sense? No shade on Bao Shangen and Zhou Yiran but you have Wan Peng and Li Yun Rui…
As someone who has read the novel, I can say, Wan Peng and LYR are not support casts. They have very special roles/participation. Their back story is crucial to the drama. Wan Peng is Shangen’s aunt, while LYR is playing 2 roles, Yiran’s dad and uncle (they’re twins).
Despite the good reviews and comments on here, why is it that everytime the ratings go up to 8 i wake up a few hours later and see it back down again? I feel bad for people who do not give this drama a chance. They’re missing out.
Critically bombed. Only 4.8/10 on Douban. https://movie.douban.com/subject/35236763/It's the first drama I came…
I follow this on Douban myself, most of the ratings are from day 1 of airing this drama, from fans of DC, they are unhappy about the cast change and the overall revamped look of the drama. If you are going to watch it, keep in mind this is a LA of the donghua and not some continuation of another drama. Otherwise there are other dramas that you can watch.
I pity people who know little of the original story or have not seen the donghua and have so much negativity to say. They say empty cans are the noisiest.
