Our boy is trying hard. He's out of his confort zone, poor thing. I cant wait to see the day when css accepts him bc he really lacks love and nurture

I'm laughing at lby's joke. It's not even a cold joke but a bad one.

Sometimes angst is what makes the drama good. It was so popular they had the same cast and made S2 where it takes place in modern time. But I didn't watch that one. I thought it was too dramatic.

wb is a whole different world. They have their own system and culture. It's a celebrities livelihood also since chinese celebs promote and share their lives on wb. It's also a status thing. If the celeb's account is ban on wb then they are done for. a couple times I posted about how both actor/actress are hardworking and great bla bla bla and that we shouldn't fight each other bc it doesn't help our idols. I got told for being fake by the other side. So I gave up on trying to resolve the fanwars. Whenever it happens I try to just ignore or let it go. It hurts me since I'm not the conflict type. I'm raised better than that.

I don't get cdrama culture. They love competition, they compete for everything like ratings, viewership, hype, douyin ratings, characters charts. It was once so bad that government intervened and banned some type of rating comparison. On vlinkage, there used to be top 20 actors and actresses, usually counts towards when their relevant dramas air, but that's shut down. However, a new top 20 appears and it's the top 20 characters in the drame, which essentially is the same as top 20 actors/actresses since those characters are played by those actors/actresses.They just shut down one thing and bring up a similar new thing.

What's absurd is fanwar between costars' fans. I'm flabbergasted when this keeps occuring. These type of fans are so stupid and irrational. They would start fan wars just as their idol's dramas are about to air. Why not put the hate aside and support each other for their idol's work. Their hate for each other doesn't help with the drama. Why make the collaboration awkward for their idols (i mean actors and actresses not singing idols). Like how are the costars suppose to interact and act around each other when their fans are hating each other.

so on IS page, their fans are bad talking about lusi and lltg? I just went on wb and both fandoms are fighting as well. most likely more uglier than on mdl

I didn't watch the korean version. No version can do justice as the OG. No disrespect for the korean version. I've watched the chinese version first so it has sentimental value I guess and I know I will just keep comparing the two as I watch the korean version. Plus, the chinese version is based on historical events while the korean one can't really copy the same as they don't have the same historical events or dynasty so I feel like they change a lot of the stuff. I feel like you should give it a try since cdramas don't make timetravelling dramas like this anymore. They banned timetravelling dramas after scarlet heart. Also, seems like Qing dynasty isn't being filmed anymore...understandable since it's kinda overused and they keep doing the same 4 rulers in Qing.

That's how immature fans are unfortunately. Master of My Own (MOMO) was originally scheduled to release on April 26 and Rebirth was scheduled a couple days later than momo (both dramas were youku produced). Well, Dragon satellite tv bought the rights to air it and they wanted to air at the same time as youku so youku changed the airing date of momo to April 29 on prime time (airing daily simultaneously with tv and online platform) and so they pushed Rebirth date to earlier than scheduled. Reset, or I should say wjk's fans, were furious that their idol's drama date was changed and put in a not so good time slot. So his fans started trolling the actress in momo and the drama. They rated 1 star before the drama even aired and kept bashing on fl's looks. It was so distasteful, like why bully the actress when it's not her fault. Complain to youku instead. How is it the actress' fault that Dragon tv wanted to air her drama....and those antis were saying she had back up....yea right, if she had big back up then she wouldn't have to take 15 years to be where she is now. She has 0 back ups, she started as an independent artist and still is. All the resources she has now was from her hard work and recognition. I just don't understand why fans are like this, and this goes for LLTG also, the drama aired first and is almost done part 1, so it's not the drama or lusi's fault IS isn't doing as ideal as they have hoped. I've heard yz has a lot of antis, so what makes them so sure IS' low ratings are from lusi or LLTG's fans. it's just baseless assumptions.

Honestly, your not missing much with IS, this is coming from a bystander as I'm not a fan or hater of either and I do watch both of their dramas. But I will admit I wasn't fond of lusi' acting before. IS is basically AOL 2.0. The plot is so predictable, side characters are annoying. The directing and editing can do some work. I'm basically skimming scenes as a filler drama to watch. I'm able to enjoy LLTG much more and haven't dropped or skimmed any eps yet, which says a lot since I'm the master of dropping dramas left and right. There's a good balance of comedy and angst. I enjoy Lusi's small facial quirks and antics.

I didn't see any anti's here, perhaps there were if I scrolled down. I feel like we shouldn't be repressed from being opinionated on the actor/actress' acting, characters, production, storyline etc. Critiques are important for growth, and I sometimes get frustrated from fans that can't differentiate between constructive criticism and trolling. I'm not the type to talk shit on others, but I do want to voice my critiques as I like to analyze when watching dramas. I'm not talking about you specifically but in general. I'm just a passerby of lusi, and to be fair she did a great job in this drama. She kept the same cute antics, that she always does in all her dramas, but she mixed it with some angst. I think it balanced well, also the character is written well. My opinion of her has changed, and I would definitely recommend this drama to others. Samsara, on the other hand, I feel like has a lot of plot holes, which goes for most xianxa dramas. I feel like yz is type casted, I do know she took samsara out of courtesy to save the drama or else she wouldn't have taken it. But her pschologist didn't do as well as she expected, and it seems like she fairs better in period dramas, especially fantasy. I think she tried to switch routes but wasn't as successful. I definitely enjoy her in vs as she's so funny and cute. To me, lltg is the superior one.

Startling by each step (aka Scarlet Heart). My classic fave time travelling drama. Full of angst and follows historic events. Starring Liu Shishi and Nicky Wu and a bunch of other veteran actors.

Royal Nirvana is good too...Luo Jin's acting is phenomenal but man you must be physically and mentally be ready to cry every freaken scene. I had to drop it bc I couldn't continue crying.

His contracts don't allow. I think it's his decision to not want to kiss. Now that he's older I guess he's ok with it.

For real?! This sucks. What am I going to watch in Aug

I'm sure it'll get better later on. I'm just riding along with it. Watch the scenes I like and skip the boring ones.

I'm glad it helped you understand her character or the situation more. I'm just annoyed they had to make her character like this. The bystanders are the worst, they are the cause of this rift between their bond.

I enjoy LLTG's fighting scenes, wulei does a fantastic job at it and he easily carries Lusi one arm. So now my expectations for other actors have gone up meaning I hope actors can make it seem effortlessly in carrying actresses. When I watched yy prevented yd from falling, I could see how choppy it was cut and directed. I was disappointed. I'm trying to ignore that as his angst portrayals are always spot on.

She is using her natural voice. It's the current few eps she's using a dub when she talks to ml bc she's trying, but failed, to hide her identity from him.

I thought I was the only one that didn't like yz using her own voice to dub. It's not pleasant to the ears for xianxa. It's fine for modern dramas, but for xianxa not so much.

Well, always being compared to her twin and being recognized as the inferior by everyone, especially since she has to work extra hard while she always sees Yandan slacking off but getting praises and rewards so easily (in her perspective she thinks Yandan always has someone to come save/help her, while she has to do it all alone). These type of resentment is hard to suppress and ignore, especially when there is a person reminding her every minute of the day. It's bc she's been recognized as the weak one from the very first day she came to her "human" appearance that it's caused her to behave like this. Yes, it's her fault but also partially those other gods/dieties problem. Those standbyers keep gossiping about her and forsaking her hard work that she just turned for the worse. So I find it unfair to want or tell her to just suppress her feelings of being inferior again.

I'm definitely not taking her side bc what she did is wrong. Yandan is just a clueless girl that loves her sister dearly. I just think it's unreasonable to suggest or think she should suppress her inferiority. I would've said she should improve herself, but she is already. This is why in real life, parents should never compare their children to each other...it causes drift and resentment to each other.

Ok, replying according to what was planned at that moment in time makes a lot of sense. After all the fiasco, it may have changed.
