Eleanor Lee actress that play SFL called Chinese audience stupid. It was just her casual conversation to her staff…
I feel so far her scandal not as severe like tax evasion. The best scenario is being low profile and have Eleanor Lee will not attending promotion event. Like Kunning Palace when they had a scandal with SML. But still it will be postponed with unknown release date.
Although this is an idol drama it has a cinematographic feel to it due to the color grading and the lack of white/skin…
There are lot type of drama. But people just watch romance idol drama because it is the famous one and people just love seeing beautiful faces. Real drama always the best in term of story, they touch a real life problem such poverty, drug or wealth gap but such drama never famous in MDL or international .
Qing Dynasty setting already shift from harem to real politic historical drama that touch heavy topic like civil war, dissolve of the nation and corrupt monarchy.
It is going to be worse if it was Korea. They will send a death treat until the actors drop dead.
It is kinda interesting how Korea and China handles scandal. In China, government usually swift take an action by blacklisting but the public do not devolve into toxic cesspool. In Korea, government rarely interrupt but public can go super toxic and keep escalating with cyber bullying. Korean actors suffered heavily, so many poor soul took out their life.
