looked at the screenwriter's past works (because TPR's horrible script has scarred me) and bruh it's very.. um polarizing lol Hidden Love is fine but Mirror Twin Cities is one of the worst dramas I've ever seen.
man most of you guys probably can't tell (unless you understand mandarin) but some of the line reading from the supporting characters is .. rough lol like li chuan and su rong qing and qin zhen zhen (esp her omg), they read dialogue like they're reading a book. I'm usually not one to advocate for dubbing but when it's THIS bad lol please dub them.
whoa I didn't know Our Generation was essentially confirmed as his next project. This is a huge step up for him!! the production company behind the drama (Daylight) is one of the top companies in China and they rarely use non-acting majors (linghe didn't study acting in school).
I waited for this to finish airing to binge and I wanna say this drama's cinematography was SO wasted on this script writer. I knew I shouldn't have had high hopes because this script writer's works are all rated at less than 5 stars on douban (10 stars being the highest). Only those who understand mandarin will understand this complaint but the dialogue is soo ridiculously modern. It doesn't fit the historical setting at all. Also, I've read all the bts drama about the producer favoring the SML and imo the biggest issue is the actor they choose can't really act. This character could've been good if they picked a better actor. Another complaint I have is that for most of the drama, I can't feel the love FL has for ML. It doesn't help that there's like no bgm over most of their scenes together.
having said all that, this drama is so so so pretty and I really wish the script was better. For once, a cdrama used proper lighting and didn't just slap a blinding white filter over everything.
I've watched blood of youth and the difference in skills of the directors is quite drastic. this drama's director is quite poor, the bg looks extremely fake and for some reason all the actors look very orange in the face (weird filter?)
rumor on weibo that it'll premiere on the 26th so we will most likely get an announcement tomorrow. LYF season 2 is premiering in early of July and will take up most of the hot searches so TPR needs to build some hype before that premieres. 26th would be a good time to premiere the drama.
Another popular and highly anticipated drama will be aired at the beginning of July. I don't want TPR to be overshadowed,…
LYF season 2 is very short (only 20 episodes iirc) so will most likely only air for 1.5 weeks but yeah, it's going to take up majority of the hot searches lol since YZ, DW & TJC are all veryy popular
I think there's going to be a fanmeeting/press conference because there's one media person on weibo that said they're gonna attend. should be any day now if that July 3rd premiere is true. Just need them to drop a more story related final trailer.
September would be much better. avoids his other drama and also avoids the olympics in August.honestly I don't…
let's be honest, he'll never escape trolling lol even when other people's drama aired recently, he was still regularly being stepped on to promote others. I feel like there's so many fans of other actors that see him as a rival even though linghe is still just starting out lol it kind of makes me hope the current rumor of him starring in that modern day romance with ZJM is true because the production company behind that (daylight entertainment) is very respected in the industry. If he's going to be continuously submitted to trolling and hate then might as well give him the opportunities to match the jealousy lol
Some of The Double fans in the comments are annoying. I don't care what you're all watching before watching TPR.…
tbh I have nothing against that drama but the marketing my god.. one of the most annoying I've seen in years. I'm Chinese and frequent weibo/douban and the amount of times I saw that drama's marketing step on other completely unrelated actors to promote the drama was insane.

honestly I don't have a lot of expectations for this drama lol IQIYI's marketing is so poor compared to tencent or youku. the currently airing YXJ and the already aired Fox Spirit were supposed to be their "big" dramas this year and look at the treatment they got. This drama already got sold to MangoTV so I can see them doing even less work on promoting.
