Thanks, I'll take a look.

Thank you for the explanation.

There is one thing I just can't understand. Murong Jin Rui, much like Qing Yi, grew up away from her family—one was raised by another family, while the other grew up in the north. Both of them are far removed from traditional family customs. Even though Jin Rui constantly breaks etiquette, her mother gets angry at her in a way that is never taken seriously. Yet, when Qing Yi does the exact same things, she is treated as the disgrace of the family.
So why do their mothers feel that an injustice has been done to Jin Rui and always look for ways to compensate her, while holding so much hatred toward Qing Yi? Shouldn't she extend that same grace and understanding to Qing Yi as well? This is the first time I've ever seen mothers favor their daughters over their sons in a drama 😂 (or maybe this has always been a trope in Asian dramas, and I just haven't noticed it).
However, in the first episode, Cheng Jin Zhi mentioned that Qing Yi was to blame for her own father's death. What could that possibly mean? Does she view her as a bad omen, or did something else happen? I would really appreciate it if someone who knows could explain!

I honestly can't believe it! Mediocre directing completely wasted WCR's unique beauty in Overdo. I was hoping Tales of the Floating World would make up for it since we'd get to see her in Republican-era costumes, but it turns out it's the exact same director! 😭😭😭

I understood you perfectly well. You're just beating around the bush, talking down to people, and trying to shut them up. You're nothing more than a brainwashed fan.

I would love to see more scenes of Li Bai Ze and Tang Qing. I'm much more curious about them. And my dear Xu Zhen Xuan... I wish he appeared on screen more. His scene with the opera singer girl at the train station was both so cool and so enjoyable to watch.

You can't escape this time, Ren Su Su—such a classic short drama vibe. I honestly wonder how the director managed to ruin such a great script and a once-in-a-lifetime cast.

After seeing all those bad reviews, I thought I wouldn't be able to like the series. But there is one thing I forgot. My tastes have always been different from others. I can't seem to love what they love 😄😄.
Murong Qing Yi's tragic life affected me deeply on an emotional level. And every time he says, "I am not worthy of being loved," that sentence feels both heartbreaking and realistic. After Qing Yi talked with Ren Su Su, it was so nice to see him show interest in his family and his older brother, and chat with him. On top of that, with Su Su's betrayal, he was completely shattered. Now, how is this kid going to feel loved? How is he going to go back to his old self? Apparently, Su Su is going to treat him coldly, so there isn't much hope from her either.

I get that everyone wants to defend their favorite actors' shows, but the truth is, this series is getting criticized on other translation sites just as much as it is on Chinese platforms. Since ZLH and WCR fans had been eagerly anticipating it, their expectations were sky-high. Now, most people are feeling let down, asking, 'Is this really what we waited months for?'

Your choice of Michael Jackson as an example clearly exposes the invalidity and fundamental flaw of your argument. Acting as if the judicial system is run by just and righteous people is simply a laughable illusion. Michael Jackson, much like the Epstein network, was involved in pedophilia. Now I understand perfectly well why you are defending Kim So-hyun.

You're welcome.
Assuming the actors haven't done the dubbing yet, they probably won't release the series just yet. Zheng Ye Cheng, Peng Xiao Ran, and Winwin are all filming their own respective projects. They will likely begin the dubbing process once those are finished.

I never believed that The Boundless Bright Moon would be shelved. This series is financed by many well-known companies. HuanRui, Chiwen Media, and even iQIYI itself are co-producers of the drama. That is why they will definitely release it. Also, I would love for them to keep the original voices. I want to hear Peng Xiaoran’s and Da Cheng’s own voices.

It seems so. Also, them releasing new content means that the issues regarding the series are now resolved. I hope they release a trailer. After all, it has been a long time.

It seems that new content for the series will be released on iQIYI on July 17th. Also, the speeches by PXR and ZYC are full of hope. Maybe we will get some new content too 🥹

English translation of the speeches by Zheng Ye Cheng and Peng Xiao Ran in today's Weibo post for 'Ming Yue Cang Mang':

《Ming Yue Cang Mang》 Yun Ya (Calculating and cunning State Preceptor):
"Hello everyone, I am the actor Zheng Yecheng. Lock in to the iQIYI 717 Membership Festival on July 17th. More surprises of 《Ming Yue Cang Mang》 are waiting for you to discover. 'Tao Ni Xi Huan · IP Interactive Carnival', new characters from the iQIYI studio are being continuously unlocked. Passing the baton to the next friend."

《Ming Yue Cang Mang》 Feng Miaojun (Sharp-tongued, anti-cliché princess):
"Hello everyone, I am Peng Xiaoran. Lock in to the iQIYI 717 Membership Festival, check out 'Tao Ni Xi Huan · IP Interactive Carnival.' More surprise content of 《Ming Yue Cang Mang》 is waiting for you."

It is an undeniable fact that streaming platforms have been prioritizing specific actors in their series in recent years. I am not talking about the old days, but don't you think it's strange? Just because one of their series becomes a hit, they are immediately appointed as an 'ambassador' by the platform. Furthermore, after being criticized for her role in TPG, she really should have stayed away from high-profile projects for a while, yet Tencent continues to send her their best scripts.

Also, viewers are under no obligation to read the novel before watching the series. I am watching the show, and I will evaluate it based on that. It is true that the character Shen Xihe is cold-blooded, but she is also an intriguer. I am currently on episode 7, and it is the first time I have seen her use her eyes and facial expressions. Moreover, the character Shen Xihe is not emotionless; it is only because of MZY that you get the feeling she is. She cares for the people of the North, she pays her respects to fallen soldiers, and she helps the children of martyrs. In moments like these, she should be using her facial expressions to reflect what she truly feels toward the Northern people, the fallen soldiers, and the orphans. Instead, all we see is a blank face. I am not the only one complaining about this; people watching on various other sites feel the same way about her. I will never understand these fans' attempts to whitewash their idols. For once, just accept the truth!

I am writing this from episode 7:
Shen Xihe approaches Prince Lie when it suits her desires and pushes him away when it doesn't. Does she not value emotions at all? I really dislike how these Chinese screenwriters create selfish female leads and present it as if it's a virtuous trait. Xihe views everything through the lens of self-interest. If she senses the slightest disadvantage, she pulls away; if there’s something to be gained, she gets closer. She doesn't seem like the type to ever lose her heart to anyone. I am curious to see what she will do when she finds out about the intrigues the Crown Prince is orchestrating. Will she distance herself from him too? I admit she is merciful toward her people and the inhabitants of the North, and she values her soldiers. This, of course, stems from living on the border for years. Prince Xin's wife must have been such a selfish person that Xihe is unable to truly fall in love because of that.

ItIt’s genuinely frustrating that she constantly plays with such a blank expression and barely uses any facial mimicry. I’m currently watching Blossoms of Power; she is supposed to embody a complex, scheming character, but because of that constant expressionlessness, she just comes across as a flat 'villain' archetype. She truly feels so lifeless on screen.

Bai Lu used to face similar criticism for her struggles with crying scenes and her tendency to take on repetitive roles, but she shattered all those critiques with her performance in Feud. Despite that, I’ve had to put Unveil: Jadewind on hold because of her acting; her lack of expression—just like in MZY—makes it difficult to stay engaged (even though I still love her dearly, which is a separate matter).

I agree that actresses in the Chinese entertainment industry are continuously forced into stereotypical roles. Perhaps that is why I prefer watching male actors; they seem to have the freedom to explore all kinds of roles without being pigeonholed into a single, restrictive mold.

This stems from you connecting the topic to the 'female' gender. However, the main point of my view is not how women should be, but rather wanting to watch different character types. Until last year, I also enjoyed watching scheming, intelligent women, but this year, seeing the same thing over and over has started to become exhausting. That is why I want to watch different characters. Furthermore, it is ridiculous for you to turn this into an issue. People may want to watch certain things, and they may not.
