You're the flop.

Completely agree. Chinese beauty standards are extremely toxic. I'm 165cm and 54kg, and am told to lose some at least five times when I go back to China. Actresses especially are pushed to their limit...and beyond their limit. 36kg for Lusi is absurd. This needs to stop. None of us want to see a frail A-list actress barely keeping herself standing. Netizens calling her fat are absolutely delusional and probably have no self-esteem themselves.

East Asian beauty standards are brutal...especially in the entertainment industry (and some Chinese netizens are so evil). My heart breaks for Lusi 🥺 . She shouldn't feel the need to always lose weight, she looks amazing in everything she's been in. Sometimes I hate the Cdrama industry ugh. Wishing her a full recovery and health and happiness in 2025.

Bai Lu just pinned the Douyin video she posted earlier this year with the other Moonlight Mystique actors (the video is at the top of her Douyin profile now, it wasn't before)! This is a great sign--anticipated date is January 8th and we know Cdramas can drop at any time, but I really do think we'll be seeing Bai Shuo and Jing Yuan in the next few weeks!

This girl really just woke up one day and was cast into half of the hit dramas I’ve watched in the past two years 😭😭😭. She’s such a versatile actress, so gorgeous, and has a great personality—I love her!!

I don’t know if I’m interpreting your comment correctly, but I would argue against the fact that it’s “too easy” to get the main role, especially in a drama production like Blossom. Meng Ziyi has actually been in the drama industry for years, with her most notable works being The Untamed and Immortal Samsara. She actually went through a period in which she struggled to find dramas to act in and suffered a lot of netizen hate. Lin Yunrui was fantastic in Love Like the Galaxy—I recommend that drama to everyone. It’s also important to know that a lot of actors don’t even decide their own roles—their company does it for them, so opportunities can be extremely limited. People didn’t really expect for Blossom to be this popular.

And honestly, even if the leads weren’t that well-known, what would be the harm in discovering new talents, like what Guo Jingming is doing? (Journey to You, Fangs of Fortune.) All actors have to start somewhere. On another note, I can’t thank Zeng Qingjie enough for this casting.

The fact that Yu Shuxin is the only listed cast on the official released poster is disgusting. I mean, I have no problem with Yu Shuxin acting out all the roles and taking up all the screen time, (as long as she does it willingly and isn't tired lol!) but it seems like iQiyi is just reaping off her recent popularity to keep the drama under the radar of her fans.

This is very promising so far. Awesome cinematography, acting and overall plot, from what I’ve seen in the first seven eps. This is a drama that wasn’t on my radar but one that immediately hooked me. I’m super excited, hopefully it doesn’t disappoint!

Thank you for reading!

The ending of the novel has an "extra", which is quite normal in modern Chinese literature. The ending of the novel is a bit different from the drama, but the leads also ended up together in the modern world.

Zhu Xudan leaning on Yu Shuxin’s shoulder and Ding Yuxi looking at them longingly has me ROLLING 😭😭😭 (variety show prologue)

Thank you to the geniuses that casted DYX and YSX in this drama 🙏🙏🙏...I will forever be indebted to you.

Thank you for your kind words! Glad you enjoyed my review. :)

He is one of the most caring and considerate actors ever. He also takes note of online criticism to "improve" himself.🥹🥹🥹

The Chinese government censored transmigration in Chinese dramas. Miaomiao going back to the modern world passed censorship because she technically was transported into a book and took on the role of Lin Yu. Ling Miaomiao was never “supposed” to be Lin Yu, she was written to be Mu Qingshi, so she technically doesn’t transmigrate by traveling back to the modern world.

Ziqi is a bit different. He’s both a character in the book and the fictional embodiment of the author himself, Fu Zhou. (Fu Zhou is just his pen name, his real name
is Xia Ziqi.) So if the drama ending outright shows him in front of Miaomiao, it’s implying that Ziqi transmigrated from the ancient world to the present. There are a few reasons why transmigration is banned in Chinese dramas. I’m pretty sure the problems started surfacing after Scarlet Heart aired, with people doing some triggering stuff to try to go back to the ancient world.

I hope this made sense. I’m disappointed too, but I’m pretty pleased with how the ending managed to go around the censorship.

Everyone has their own opinion, so hopefully no one bashes you! I'd steer away from all the dramas she acts in, as she uses her original voice in all of them. Esther is like that in real life too lol (personality and voice and all), especially in front of her friends like Bai Lu.

Thank you for reading!

Thanks for reading!

It's an OE. Very different from LGEF's ending. Literal OE/borderline BE.

Xianxia (these dramas usually have three realms, so unlike LGEF, demons and humans don't live in the same realm.)

Beware, these are all super angsty! (but good endings, many of these have endings with kids.) I don't think a single drama here has an ep count below 45 lol) These were all before the [stupid] episode limit.

- Love and Redemption (like the previous user included, very good ending imo)
- Love Between Fairy and Devil (Yu Shuxin!!!)
- Ashes of Love
- Eternal Love (aka Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms)
- Eternal Love of Dream (related to drama above)
- Ancient Love Poetry
-The Untamed (censored BL)
- Journey of Flower

Time Travel:
- Love Between Tiger and Rose (no magic. And Ding Yuxi!!)
- The Eternal Love (has 3 seasons)

Sure! I'll make a list rn. Just thought I'd give you a warning that the user above me's 1st drama rec might not be a "HE". Very good drama nevertheless.
