post production shouldn't take that long. I think this will prob air in 2026 spring at the earliest.

things not looking good for Esther and this drama..

shooting has been postponed and word on weibo is that she's getting replaced. I really don't know the validity of all the accusations towards her & her family but it might be good to lie low for now. There hasn't been anything posted by the government yet so there's hope she won't be blacklisted. iirc Song Zuer was accused of tax evasion and disappeared for over a year and only started becoming active again this year once she was cleared.

ML really carries this drama so far. He's part of the reason why clips are going viral in China. NGL I started watching this after seeing clips on xiaohongshu. Yoona overacts too much in comparison.

I think it's pretty much all but confirmed that he's taking a break after filming wraps. He mentioned at a brand event recently that he doesn't have any projects lined up after this. I think he'll prob rest for the remainder of 2025.

I think we can be a bit more calm if we get a trailer of some type lol

the ones that take 4 months are usually costume dramas that require large set pieces and sometimes too many night scenes can also prolong shooting (Guo Jingming for example is infamous for liking to shoot at night).

this one is only 33 episodes. with not much big scenes.

I'm watching Princess Gambit to get a feel of this director's style. Nothing special so far. He seems to really like filming close ups of actor's face.

I mean. I wouldn't call it slow because ML pretty much falls in love in the first episode. It takes them a while to get together but imo there's no other way to portray it because 1) she just got out of a long term relationship 2) they have a doctor-patient relationship. I think the time it took for them to get together is understandable given these circumstances.

feel like cheng lei cleared out like half his discog in one month lol

even if there is, there is NO WAY linghe would come back lol

according to chinese melon accounts, it's a historical drama from the director of The Glory

IQIYI conference is on Sept 23 and Tencent conference is in October. I wonder if we'll get a new trailer. I hope we'll get one with more story in it.

honestly one of the most stressful experiences following this drama lol everyone kept trashing his character :/

I feel like every clip of them together, they're crying or fighting lol

IQIYI conference is on Sept 23. I wonder if they can put together a short teaser. I'm kind of tired of the separate vids of ML & FL lol

Romance in the Rain! It's one of the classics

nah there's a voice actress. you can find the name in the ending credits.

I really want the script to leak because I heard FL is working on revenge and basically EVERYONE except ML knows she's just pretending so he's like left alone in the dark for most of the drama?? lmao I really hope they make the "betrayal" convincing because if not, ML will look very very stupid lol

apparently filming wraps Sept 25th!

completely diff character lol this is more in line with her previous "cutesy" roles
