The staff probably got confused with all the rebirth/rewind while editing this episode. 🤣
it seemed like only international audiences watching on YouTube were affected lol! i haven’t seen anybody mentioning the editing problem on Chinese social media, but yikes that was a careless mistake to make
rumours were that wang lao ji offered a lotttttt this season, so they chose the brand that offered more to the…
that’s a valid point, the target audiences are very different for those brands. but years ago, Rio (an alcoholic brand) also sponsored the show when Anmuxi was sponsoring. i am wondering if it’s because back then, Anmuxi was less known, so whatever exposure they could get, they would utilise it. but these days, Anmuxi has well-known ambassadors, and don’t need to rely as much on Keep Running for exposure. (Bai Lu, Dilireba, Dylan Wang etc.)
um how will they air 8 eps? all at once? 2 parts? 1 ep per day? 2 ep per week? hmmm
rumour is that it will air from 5.5-5.10, because the next CCTV drama is rumoured to takeover from may 11th (either yang zi/ liu hao cun’s). so maybe 1 ep x 4 days, then 2 eps for 2 days?
the editing of episode 2 (youtube) was so weird, they repeated like 20ish minutes of an earlier part towards the end… but ignoring that, this episode was funny to watch!
repeating guest? , they invite kongxueer but didnt invite dengkai?
deng kai isn’t very known in c-ent, (prior to PoJ, his name was foreign to many) kong xue er is definitely better known, considering her appearance in the survival show before she began acting… besides, keep running isn’t a show known for inviting drama couples. drama couples appear on hi 6, not here. (invitation of bai lu’s male leads are an exception though, because she’s the emcee of the show..)
cast of the show is finally out! we have thai actress chutimon chuengcharoensukying (aokbab)playing yao ke xun, and chen hao sen as bai shang huan. supporting roles include tsao yu ning as he bing xun and singaporean actor cai cheng jun as a lin.
i have so much to say about this!!! as an OG novel fan…
i first read the book back in 2019, the same year it was released, and it quickly became my favourite chinese novel because of its fantastical elements. ever since then, i have found myself borrowing it repeatedly from the library just to experience the story again. even though i already know the plot by heart, it never gets less interesting no matter how many times i reread it.
now that the cast has been announced, i have to admit i feel quite disappointed. the actors do not seem to match their original descriptions in the book, (appearance wise) especially in terms of age. since the story was originally a high school romance, it seems like the casting may have led to a change in setting to a university instead, (because the actors are 30…) which likely means certain plot elements had to be altered as well.
will this significantly affect the story? (the synopsis already differs..) i guess we will find out next year. i just hope they remain as faithful to the original plot as possible. the novel itself was relatively short, so i am curious how it will be expanded into a full tv series. personally, it feels like it might have been better suited for a movie, but i am still willing to wait and see how it turns out.
one concern i have is the casting of the female lead. since the actress is thai, i was a bit worried after hearing in interviews that she has only been learning chinese for 1–2 years, especially since the director mentioned there will be no dubbing. i really hope her performance comes across naturally without any distracting accent.
the only aspect i am relatively satisfied with is the casting of tsao yu ning. if i remember correctly, he used to be a professional baseball player, so at least we have an athlete playing an athlete (even if the character is a basketball player this time).
overall, i just hope the adaptation does the book justice and allows more people to fall in love with this story 💗🤞 waiting for the show to arrive in 2027
this drama really boosts my seratonin, what a masterpiece comfort drama. i loved watching the friendship, kinship and relationship. i don’t think any high school drama can ever beat this… kudos to Mao de shu for his effort in this production, the intro, outro and DV scenes were all filmed so well, so naturally. not to mention the douyin and Weibo character accounts they set up while the show was airing, seeing the posts made me think these characters existed.
this show had a very interesting plot, with phenomenal acting from liu hao cun. the first half of the show felt a bit too long, with too many scenes focussed on the hair salon portion, so that made me drop the show for a couple of months. but I came back to complete the show, and despite being confused, the sci-fi of the second half was more captivating!
When did MDL start including shows from Singapore? I'm so happy that this is added <3
i believe MDL only added the singapore tag over the past few years. previously, sg dramas were usually classified under china and similar categories.
users are able to add shows that are not yet in the database, so that is probably how more sg titles started appearing over time.
i was actually quite surprised to see emerald hill listed but not little nyonya, considering how iconic it is, so i added it myself. glad to hear you are happy to see it there :)
fl best friend, er xi, actually bothers me so much
they added in too many er xi and cao guang scenes in this show. if they stuck to the novel, er xi wouldn’t have been so unlikable… she simply barely appeared lol, her scenes really irritated me, all the unnecessary conflict and drama, and a horrible attitude …
a masterpiece.. this script was interesting, the front half of the show was really funny. although it got sad and hard to watch towards the end, (painful to watch) thankfully there were funny moments here and there to keep me going. the actors did a very good job and were rightfully casted for their characters. the main leads must have been tough to play considering the complexity of this script, kudos to ancy and jiang long for their performance here.
