Peter Ho's General Shen is such a breath of fresh air!! And I am sure the director and crew were just as thrilled to work with him! What a vibrant actor. The air around him hums with energy.
(copied over from the showpage) A great match-up -- similiar potential and strengths. Able to act with subtlety, charm and irony. Rarer in a woman than a man. Pray this comes out well.
Guan Xiao Tong was great in Dazzling. CXX is great in Love Between lines.

mid 15 It is interesting that, in the courtyard snow scene, he essentially suggests that her objection to marriage is partially to the emotional intimacy. ("Some things can wait...") And she neither protests nor seems surprised.
She has a brother who loves her, a father who cherishes her with his whole heart, a maternal grandfather who cried…
She is two different souls. When she speaks it is pure Gu girl. When she acts it is dependent on the situation and she has a fully developed soft and loving side. As that cunning CP says in the very first episode, she has many sides, not just the two.
Hey, just curious—what do you all think at this point? On what basis do you think the FL wants to marry the…
Honestly, I think she is actually attracted to him without realizing it. All her other reasons make sense, but still there is a little something between them. The CP's love is not unrequited. He is too cunning to go forward so bluntly without any hope of success. Interpersonal relationships are his battle field.
She is looking for a specific kind of control not the typical one we think of , but leverage she can actually…
agreed. But the mixture of the two women's souls is confusing people. She wholeheartedly continues the family allegiances of the Shens, especially in public. As the Gu survivor, she is traumatized and wants to control her destiny, not be a pawn in men's factional conspiracies. That is her main objection to the truth about our dear CP. He has his own faction and is fully in the fight. She didnt want that. She clearly said in the very beginning of the soul-meld that she wanted to be above the fray. She doesnt seem focused on revenge for the Gus. She just wants to avoid her exhusband and his unrequited love for her like poison.
There are some who hold a set opinion of Meng Ziyi and her acting and won't change no matter how good she is in…
Yeah, and I also think that actresses look really great in some shows and more wooden in others and I think the directors may have a lot to do with that.
All actors need help to do their best and if one get sidelined or confused by the directors comments or lack of them, the actor ends up looking stupid.
Thats what i was talking abt these idol dramas only to appeal to women not men
Everyone will hate me but I basically agree. The audience is Asian women, though. Revenge fantasies, redo fantasies. We all have the right to them; but in kdrama and Cdram right now women are really enjoying catharsis.
Except that Zoey Meng is every man's idea of eye candy. And in all the young hero group shows the story line is definitely for guys. I felt like Veil of Shadows was also a guys show too.
I am not saying take a look in the mirror, but lets be gracious about our favorite storylines. Sometimes things are reversed, sometimes not. But when this set of immensely popular women-centric plots do finally peter out, women's roles should probably be better, then, than just vixen, witch and maiden. You cant put the genie back in the bottle.
Ep13 It never fails to amaze me when cheesy is just fine and when it is not. The snpw fell, in the cold the Princess chooses her family and clan over a powerful husband. Their umbrellas are yin-yang dots.
And it is just fine. The music and the good acting (even ZM!) outshine the framework.

The first half also seems not to be based on responsible reporting? This may be my mistake based on the tone.
Is the she second half is based on Jinan Daily? It could stand alone then as a saner summary.
