Does anybody know what year the novel got published? The background of Shen Miao is similar to Chen Shao Shang…
LLTG director is muuuuch better. imo LLTG plot is ok but it is elevated by the directing, cinematography and main leads.
the director for Rebirth of Malicious Empress is Yin Tao (idk there's a diff name on MDL) and he is very run of the mill director imo he's better with shonan type of dramas like Blood of Youth but his adaptation of Destined was poorly shot imo I'm bringing up this because Destined is closer in style to Rebirth than his other dramas.
tbh if anyone can deal with online haters, it's MZY lol she dealt with the insane BL shippers from Untamed hating on her and that was back when she was still a rookie actress acting in side roles.
could they find someone that fits the role better? yes. but they've clearly already signed the deal so just move on. I'm seeing so many posts attacking the actress' looks and age and it's getting too much. if you can't handle the casting then just stick to the novel. the adaptation won't satisfy everyone.
tbh I do think Dylan fits the role but I also don't want them to change the script and make it ML centric because I feel like that's what would happen if they cast him..
this drama should be like LLG. Wu Lei actually had far less screen time than Zhao Lusi but he was still top billing.
They’d better not rewrite the drama from a female centric to a male one so they can just cast a popular actor.
would be extremely weird if they rewrite it so close to production starting (this starts filming in January 2026). this drama was rumored for Dilreba for the longest time and even as late as this summer it was still rumored to be her project. There's no way the script can be ML centric if they were pursuing Reba.
so gui luan most likely won't start filming until next year. ngl I feel like this drama isn't really worth waiting for lol it's not some big S+ production.. it's kind of Zhu Yu 2.0
I'm really hoping that TXW and ZLH will do promotion work together, it was so disappointing that they didnt take…
they'll promote normally like he does with all his drama promos. I don't know why but people like to spread lies that linghe & xiwei don't get along. to me, linghe acts the same with all his costars. he's not really close to any of them outside of filming except maybe Esther? but it's because she is veryyy extroverted. linghe is very introverted so unless someone drags him to hang out, he doesn't really leave his house lol
Its because some of ZLH fans. In China, now His fans are becoming to knwon as to be the super jealous type so…
girl don't spread lies like this lol
if you follow Linghe, you'll know he keeps his distance with all his co-stars, not because of fans, but because he wants to avoid rumors. he's been like this after he became famous because people like to spread nonsense rumors about him dating costars. Also he had rumors with BL. this is why they don't talk anymore.

for reference, most dramas on the first day start at ~1000. this is gonna break first day records..
