Some of my favorite strong FL roles Actresses are: Yang Mi, Liu Shi Shi, Dilraba, Crystal Liu, Zhao LiYing, Bai Lu, Liu Tao, Jing Tian, Li Yi Tong all are iconic leading ladies 🙏🏽❤ please fans don't be Toxic and talk down on other hardworking actresses it makes your fav look bad.
Here’s a little analysis about Xiao Yao's men. I’d love to know your own opinion.
Fenlong is not a bad guy but he really didn't have any romantic feelings towards Xiao Yao. Marrying her just seemed to him like the right thing to do politically speaking. His is loyal but also ambitious, which Xiao Yao is not.
Cang Xuan is just obsessed with the idea of having her to himself. Not caring if your beloved is happy or not as long as you can have her is not love. And Xiao Yao has never seen him as anything else but her gege. He also hurt her more than once, which in my opinion is hardly a proof of love.
I can understand why many people want Xiao Yao to end up with Xiang Liu. There is a lot of sensual tension and chemistry between them at times and had he or rather Fanfeng Bei admitted his feelings earlier there might have been a chance for them. Nevertheless, although he cares for her he has hurt her a lot. He is still better than Can Xuan because he respects her choices. You can tell his love is true as he also sacrifices a lot for her sake but she has also done a lot for him .
Finally Tushan Jing, He is the purest, the one who has never intended any harm towards her. As a matter of fact is is just a good person in general and he is forgiving. He can be perceived as weak because of that. Xiao Yao toyed around with him at the beginning but he was always thankful to her for saving his life and respectful of her feelings and decisions. Although he symbolizes a much quieter type of love, he also seems to represent what Xiao Yao has been looking for that is to say somebody who will never betray her or abandon her. I think she admires him for being a good person and aspires to a quiet family life with him, helping people and not caring about a higher status.
To all the drama fans who hate our poor boy Tushan Jing... calling him weak, useless, boring, just know that he got the worst treatment a character could get in this adaptation.
When they stole his foodbox and gave to Xiangliu in S1 so XL could have his seafood bento takeaway for Xiaoyao, and cut Jing's dialogue down in the dragonbone prison... I truly did not expect them to stoop this low in S2.
They basically took all his defining worth and merit in his vindication arc, chopped it up and served as offerings on the altar of LYF. S2 was the time after being tied down by his engagement and his fake son... where Jing truly shows how important he was as a force in Xiaoyao's life and for her healing journey.
Just like how he was the only one who realized Xiaoyao was unhappy to marry Fenglong, he realized she was not fine after the birth secret was revealed. So at the risk of incurring the wrath of the Yellow and Black Emperors, he took her to see the Haoling King, while also cheering her up with a wonderful first trip as a couple - ( this was merged with Cangxuan's trip to the Haoling army camp.)
When the Haoling King met with them, he finally decided to risk it all and seek closure himself as well. So he expended his spirit power ( after this outing his hair turned white ) to bring Xiaoyao and Jing into the burning desert in search of Ah Heng. They had a wonderful tearful reunion and Jing asked for permission from Ah Heng to marry Xiaoyao, which he was granted. After that the couple went on to Jiuli to pay their respects at the place Xiaoyao's parents stayed. When they returned, Cangxuan felt regret that he was not there, since he actually had kingly duties to perform. Guess TH wanted to cheer CX up, so he got to join in the outing in the drama as well.
After they returned, Jing had a beautiful proposal, complete with peach blossom forests and swirling flowers for Xiaoyao which she accepted sooooo cutely - now axed from drama.
Cangxuan only went to the Haoling camp later on to cheer Fenglong and again, it was Jing who saw how upset and worried Xiaoyao was when she heard that the Haoling king was very ill, and accompanied her to sneak into the palace using his Chief of Tushan status as a calling card. CX only tagged along later on, that resulted in the open line of communication at last, which concluded in marriage to Nian and the end of the war with Haoling.
This 'adventure' was merged into that cheap scene yesterday, with everyone 'in the family' paying respects except Jing, who was now an outsider since he has not even proposed yet... suddenly even Xiangliu got a scene to the grand 'Open House' of the Xiling witch.
They really also just cut a line when grandpa played chess with him, where he evaluates him and said "Your ambition does not lie here... Fortunately, your ambition does not lie here" This line showed Jing's strategies and capabilities revealed in his game, that the Yellow Emperor acknowledged that if Jing set his heart to it, he could try to rule the world. But that will make him CX's enemy, so fortunately Jing was only interested to live a simple life with Xiaoyao.
Even Fangfeng Yiying's realization that Jing's kindness is not a weakness but a strength, her dialogue was also cut from the drama...
The drama team really can't stand to give anything substantially good for Jing, reducing the drama version to just being Xiaoyao's true love, the one she is willing to fight the entire world for... But seriously, can't the drama have spared just a few more screen minutes in every rushed episode to build up to this climatic moment?
Ok thanks for hearing me rant about the injustice of Tushan Jing.
You know, it's crazy that as a Jing fan, I can't even make comments about him without getting negative reactions from some XL fans. From what I've seen, most comments about Jing never attack XL. If you scroll through the last 100 comments, you most likely won't find many, if not at all. But you know what I do find? Comments saying they hate TSJ, that he's boring, etc. It's fine to feel that way, but it's almost comical when it seems most of the comments from XL fans towards jing are negative when most Jing fans actually like XL, at least from what I've seen . Sure, there are toxic Jing fans and also a lot of really kind XL fans, but the comments here don't show that.
As a Jing fan, I complain about Jing's scenes being taken away or deleted and given to others. Is it true? Yes! Does that mean I'm saying XL's scenes aren't getting cut or ignored as well? Of course not! So why can't we complain and rant about Jing's scenes being deleted without some XL fans making it seem like we're only complaining about Jing and not about XL? You can complain about XL's scenes getting deleted too! I was looking forward to some of his scenes with XY from the novel that we never got to see. Can we just stop invalidating other people comments or attacking those defending Jing?
episode 4 is out!!!! thank you everyone for being patient + the lovely comments, sorry once again for the late subs 🙇🏻♀️ i'll be back at posting subs every friday unless something comes up, will update on a later date~ last two episodes left!
Thank You for this amazing Article, Your list has helped me check out some of the Strong female leads i havent watched :). I also agree with Bloody Romance, she is rarely talked about ❤️
It was posted that the producer really likes the SML, you can tell they did Zhang Ling He dirty. A lot of his filmed scenes were cut and SML has lot more significant screen time. Didn't like how they changed some scenes of LR with SRQ. Unfortunate for the producer, Zhang Ling He profile raised considerably with his portrayal of PWX. Happy for him.
