laysure

he did say that but this is after all different production, i dont think he was ever offered for the role too bc FF douyin team even go comment on douyin a week before HL aired that it not gonna be same sangyan for FF.

liu chutian

to add, peoples personality can be different at workplace for many who point out about her personality etc. i thought this is quite normal, we can literally become somebody else, braver, more friendly in workplace eventho we actually not, lots of corporate workers are like that and idt it was any different for a journalist or any other occupation. You can fake your persona and become a new you in a new setting, depending on the needs, place and people

idk about you guys but for people pointing out zhang ruonan acting as bad, i guess we just have different intepretation when reading it and it's fine. I was worried seeing her in the trailer bc yifan doesnt seem so reserved but boy was i so wrong when i finally started the drama. she is the wen yifan i imagined when i read the novel, i was so surprised bc her potrayal is very accurate imo. do know that my first choice for yifan is wang churan and it's simply bc of the soft calming composed aura she exudes and ZRN is delivering exactly that to me.

hahaha this is how i felt when i first saw sangyan in hidden love 😂 he was so different than sangyan i knew in FF novel

try the novel maybe live action potrayal might not translate well to you but i personally find sangyan character so interesting

it was opposite for me i have always thought she played deeper stuff better than comedy, i enjoy watching her in movies

yup popular novel and even less popular one often get manhua adaptation!

bc it's not. both manhua has novel and it was the original source material

wait why hahah

it is also callef first frost. You can just search first frost novel

the story didnt change they were never high school classmate

bc sangyan is HUGELY loved and first frost is a very popular romance novel. they think his visuals doesnt fit sangyan visual as described in the novel, he was said to be tall (taller than DJX, and this is probably my intepretation but when i read it i definitely think sangyan is more handsome than DJX, but it's been long since i read the novel, that was just my impression when i read it.

as for me personally i dislike that they made him a comedic relief character instead of retaining his aloof, nonchalant sarcastic self, i do see part of that sangyan in HL but it wasnt a constant state, sometimes the drama made his as a comedic relief which kind of ruin sang yan image to me. Sangyan is funny but he is not funny in a comedic sense if you get what i mean, he is funny in sarcastic nonchalant way. I enjoy victor ma potrayal but it was hard for me to adjust to that sangyan at first. I would definitely love it had i not known anything about sangyan in first frost

different production. it is a common occurence in chinese drama and first frost is a huge IP, they need to also do well rating wise and also not to offend novel fans so much since sangyan himself is a popular character (hence victor ma was originally criticised for playing sang yan bc sangyan is one of most loved fictional romance BG male lead)

different production. just like moonlight mystique and the last immortal cast are different than ALP. and bc it's a huge IP, no offense but idt victor ma could get ppl to reserve 7M plus no matter how popular HL is, bc FF has it's own fanbase. while some mainland novel fans may not like the cast so much, some of them will might still give it a try if it is a well established cast like BJT

the similarities between hidden love and first frost are the character, sang yan parents, sang yan sibling (sangzhi) is the FL of HL, sang yan college friend (duan jiaxu) is the ML of HL. besides that, there i dont other recall similarities, simply said it was just a shared universe bc the character exist in another novel. First Frost timeline start when they were in highschool and continue till they enterworking life. Which Sangzhi was still a child when they first met and she about to enroll for college iirc, when she is chosing which university to enroll, yifan and sangyan already live together.

i have only read first few chapter but it is the manhua that got me start reading the novel bc sangyan art is just too pretty then i proceed to read the novel bc i feel that their story are much deeper in the novel and i was right, deeper as in more details since there are more writing so i got more feels reading the novel 😊 no wonder i saw that the manhua has been updated thought she already came back from hiatus

i hope i will at least enjoy it, tho i think they made some changes to yifan character based on trailer bc i imaginef her to be quite unfeeling and reserved in high school when i was reading the novel

bc of different production and this is a big IP drama, the source novel is huge in popularity and they need actor that can carry the show ratingwise. They had clarified this on douyin a week before HL aired that HL sang yan will not be playing forst frost sang yan
