IMO, they shouldn't make a fuss about historical properties that much similar to Chinese. In the past (pre Joseon) Chinese culture already spread throughout Korean Peninsula, even to Japan archipelago. I am like the majority of them about this: is it necessary to put explicit stuff to semi fiction sageuk? I had watched many sageuks, they were still great even without explicit scenes.

I hope it will be air in Q4 2024 or Q1 2025

well, it is expected from a country with a number #1 population. :D the competition is hella fierce. Also, China is a communist country. You are expected to be a subject of the country (read: government). No communist had been easy to their subject. Even so, every country has its own showbiz problem. Only they are reluctant to disclose the dirty laundry. It's either they think those stuffs are common or they feel scared to speak out. Look at Johny Jimunsho sekihara case. It's just a tip of an iceberg. (I'm screaming for my Arashi crush!!). Or look how they treat badly Kpop idol behind the scenes and how fans see them as saint idols who are expected to be perfect and pure. Or the vulnerability of teenagers or newcomer being abused (sexually) in some countries of SEA.

I can see the pattern of C showbiz. Many actors who were at the peak of their careers, mostly with their own studio or relatively small agency, were prone to black campaigns. Even if they were innocent, it was hard to change people's opinions and digital trace of backlash. That is why, some actors stay in limbo and have a tiny chance to make a comeback.

I hope we get to see the original one. Maybe someday. when PRC loose their rules over showbiz.

I never get bored bashing Mango subs! LOL

hmm another drama forever in limbo...

He is the type of a boy who bullies his crush. 🙈🙈🙈so childish

yeah, I hope so. IMO the reason he talked about retiring was his previous agency was awful. And he knew how shady C showbiz was. Even if one is innocent, he will get black campaign thus will hard to get works. It seems no artist can terminate their contract with their agency amicably. It should be the agency that terminates their artist instead if they are no longer profitable. I don't think Jeremy fell into a slave contract ( long duration, more than 10 years). Since he is quite popular actor and in high demand, it is just they overworked (enslaved) him without regard to his health and the quality of works.

Mana Ashida's Mother (2010)

So glad to see him again in Love of Nirvana! Yeah I know it was filmed years ago.

I think he is bound to the previous contract until it expired. Many actors can't help but to fullfil their duty until they leave the toxic agency. as example, Cheng Yezheng and Leo YunXi.

It's crazy to see how see seems unreacted everytime being abused by ML. After the stabbing scene in the prison, they get along (again) and more deeper.
Even Pei Yan who is full of scheming looks more normal than WZ. But someone please tell her to get out asap of Pei Mansion. Can't she read the situation that PY repeatedly using her for his own gain?

how about the filmmaker makes her as Prince Qi's illegitimate daughter from one of the Yan's sister?

LMAO

didn't you see how WZ smirked?

She is no different with other FLs who have great medicine prowes and keen of sleuthing. Sometimes becomes damsel in distress but she is not that stupid and weak. But it is kinda unbelievable that she is willingly hanging around with a man who had put her in near-death situations several times. she is not into bad boys. she is into disaster.

I saw it. that stabbing scene in the prison was unpleasant for Jiang Ci.

that weird and pain in the ass position. lol

finally they talked properly at 25th ep!
