I’m not someone who’s into shipping culture.When I watch a drama, I just like it if the two characters have…
I can't get enough of ZDL arc one of them because this is their most beautiful time together and even more for TLC. And ZDL arc is LYX best acting in his drama along with the text book level acting when he was frozen in ice cave.
lol different genre. this is not wuxia but xuanxia. fantasy martial art. even the male lead not human.
Fox is his nickname—he's an alien. This is Wuxia blends with sci-fi. You will see star wars moments, X men like characters, Journey to the east. The setting is like Marvel infused Wuxia fantasy. The 1st of it's kind in Costume Drama. Def not MLC - wuxia.

From SLY variety show: When Luo Yunxi discovered Allen Fang plays Liu Yan, he immediately looked him up online and found out Allen’s a talented singer. Since Lyx loves to sing, he quickly planned to invite Allen for a karaoke session during filming in his RV. He also checked other cast members who could sing well to join his RV karaoke session.
Reminder tomorrow, 2nd episode of SLY variety shows will air on Mango TV app, YT Eng subs a few days after.
both are new actresses and both are doing a wonderful job. Jelly who just won a reward as one of the youngest…
Let's get this corrected: Lin Yun is not new actress while Bao is a newcomer, she has been acting since 2015-2016 as a movie star, much higher status than anyone else in this cast (except for Ms Hong Actress, she too started as movie star)
And If you want to justify her acting, please do Lin Yun a favor, at least revise and omit A Dream of Splendor and replace it with Les Belles (where she has improved). Her acting in ADoS is terrible.
Hope she can improve her acting, otherwise it is a pity for someone as beautiful as she is.

More than a dozen government tourism boards across China have released videos promoting scenic spots inspired by WoF—from Chengdu to Guilin, Beijing to Xi’an, and Tibet to Shaanxi.
Meanwhile, the national tourism board, in collaboration with China Mobile, is spotlighting the color palette featured in SLY with the iconic Patola Palace in Lhasa, Tibet • Red – Red Wedding & King Sword City • Gold – Gold Leaf Temple • White – Billou Palace • Black – Thirteenth Floor A well made documentary exploring the palace and its color symbolism, narrated by LYX, is now streaming on Migu Video. Episode 4 with English subtitles was released today. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvCdvSyJMk&list=PLDWJ213d2UcpGtL0FCax3lJ7I3DIhmyGS&index=4
Is Bao ShangEn the FL? Wow I need to know which agency is she from. She is really newcoming lead actress. Starting…
Abt bao and billing for 3 actresses is it is tricky here, explained bellow Jeremy is a guess star here and not support actor. No FL here, all 3 actress the same status.
Bao, In China esp now the fastest way for newcomers to land good projects is by signing with a major platform. Bao, should be one of them with Tencent. If a platform is willing, her agency can sell her performing right to platform which takes an additional 35–45% cut from the artist’s fees, for everything incl. endorsement etc. Signing with platform guarantees steady roles and promotion to FL, and still allow to take non platform drama. if a newcomer like Bao is landing strong projects with good pairings, it means the platform and her agency see potential and willing to promote her.
Chen Yao has been in the industry for years. After limited promotion from her previous agencydespite a breakout role, in ’21 CY joined LYX agency— ZSTC, a move her fans heavily questioned, as ZSTC was known as the almost bankrupt tiny breakfast shop with only LYX and 2 unknown singers. But after 4 years of saving and not investing in LYX’s promotion, ZSTC acquired its first IP—this drama—and insert itself as producer/co producer in all of LYX’s projects. They later bought an IP for Chen Yao ("My Cousin Hanfu"), but Tencent chose another FL. Still, Chen Yao as ZSTC 1st F artist, received better promotion but ZSTC is tiny compared to giants like Huanrui or Huace and others.
Lin Yun began her career at the top, debuting as a FL in a film by acclaimed director Stephen Chow. She continued to star in movie, but her movie career eventually stalled, prompting her to shift to TV dramas. Her first major TV role was a support role in Dream of Splendor alongside Liu Yifei. WoF is her second big production costume drama. After WoF finished filming, she got her 1st Costume drama FL role in with Allen (Liu Yan), aired before WoF.
So between new rising star with many FL projects, producer own experienced actress and a previously a movie star that surely will create a lot of fights. So they group them together alphabetically while the M are based on screen time.
In this drama, aside from the costumes, setting, and OST, how do you feel about the acting?In the Zhoudilou arc,…
LYX's best performance so far is in the ZDL arc. This drama feels too easy for him compared to the complexity of TTJ in TTEOTM. I expect his real acting highlights to come in later episodes, esp. when he’s about to return to the celestial world.
Among 6 key characters + Jeremy: • Allen as Liu Yan had me unsure at first—Liu Yan is a complex role—but he’s doing pretty well here. • Ao Zi Yi & Bao are both perfect for their roles, esp. Chi Yun. I can’t comment beyond WoF. I did hear about criticism of Bao’s acting; for me, they’re young actors who need more experience. I wouldn’t watch them as FL & ML until they’ve gained more experience. • A Shui’s character isn’t demanding, and it fits within Lin Yun’s acting range. • Xiao Shunyao has played similar characters before, so I knew he’d do well. • Jeremy and Chen Yao always nail their roles—I’m confident they’ll do well here.
We have many others with strong presence: Yang Shi Ze, Bai Shu, and Jiang Zhen Yu (Ms. Hong). The weakest actor here is the one playing Yu Furen.
Q (for Fang Yilun): Describe the relationship b/w Liuyan and TangLiCiA: He's the person I love the most, also…
Imo Liu Yan’s answer should’ve been Fang Zhou. His hatred toward TLC—aside from being manipulated by GMD & FZ misunderstanding—stems from a deeper sibling jealousy toward A Li started back in the ZDL arc. Fang Zhou’s favoritism toward A Li was obvious, and Liu Yan definitely picked up on it. I hope in later ep they show why he said it is TLC.
It’s only halfway through, but I know I’ll be spoiled once this drama ends. With its fast pace and complex plot full of foreshadowing and reversals, a perfect cast without annoying performances (except for you, Yu Furen), movie-level CGI, beautiful costumes, and stunning fight scenes. The best villain troupe I’ve ever seen in a C costume drama—each one stronger than the last.
Yesterday’s fight scene between TLC and Hua Wu Yan was beautiful. From King Sword City to Billou Palace, and now Fengliudan, we’ve had so many sub-climax battles—and we’re only 55% in! Looking back at the Billou Palace war with its 5 heroes vs. 5 villain setup, I now remember it was inspired by League of Legends, which is played in a 5 vs. 5 format. That’s why we saw LoL champions promoting the Billou Palace war. Tomorrow is the LoL world final, and LYX, the LoL spokesperson, will be attending as a commentator. I hope he gets to promote SLY (though maybe it’s not the right moment)
