You need to chill. This person didn't act like looking western was anything amazing or that it was better than looking han chinese or something. People are so ultra sensitive and make something out of nothing

Different gens I guess. He'll always be Runyu for me 😭

This ain't jiejie this is mama

That's true and honestly fair. It must be so awkward for her that one of her most famous and high quality pieces of work has her ex-husband as the ML. Shen Li is pretty damn good too so I can forgive her lmao

There's less of a culture of pitting women against each other now so it's decreased. It obviously still happens but I feel like it used to be way worse.

Minglan is the only drama I've rated a 10. It's perfect to me. And ZLY's acting was so understated but detailed. No other drama has even come close for me 😭

Omg I watched this back in 2018 and looking at who was in the cast now is WILD. So many huge names all in the supporting cast. It's amazing how far they've all come in their careers. I want to rewatch it now 😭

No one wants this 😭

No this drama never got the license to adapt the novel. It's plagiarism. Scarlet Heart is the actual adaptation with the license.

Mdl tends to have a very toxic mentality when it comes to female leads. Extremely critical with little slack ever given to the FLs but the worst MLs ever will always have fangirls.

Weiyoung is an idol drama

Moon Lovers is actually the Korean adaptation of the Chinese drama Scarlet Heart.

NO ROMANCE, respectfully.

Eh it's not Chinese specific, remakes in general tend to be shit. Korean remakes in particular tend to suck the life out of the original dramas. Their Someday or One Day and A Love So Beautiful remakes made my skin crawl.

You're totally right. I'm sure I've missed out on a lot of good jdramas because the majority of the ones I've been exposed to are so anime-esque and it turned me off of them. One I did love though was Orange Days. Thank you for the recommendations! I'll definitely check them out.

Wan Peng looks so pretty <3

He's from Hong Kong. He's most likely getting dubbed

Please be for real. He's mediocre at best. He needs to work on his acting and isn't on the level of many of his costars, which is why I made those comments.

I like this cover. Reminds me of older dramas.

It's cuz you're watching it in 2024 after having seen other xianxias. This was the first of its kind, the blueprint for almost all xianxias that have come after it.
