Japanese entertainment companies don't invest much into live-action productions. I don't understand why.
China definitely does it better. But, most of the time they tend to cast new and inexperienced actors as main leads, nah... This ruins a good production. Sometimes, there is an exception but its very rare. Out of all dramas you mentioned, I was only able to finish 'Ling Yu'. Maybe its because of my particular taste. I prefer actors like Zhang Ruo Yun.
What a great ending to the first season. It was the most decent costume drama I have watched recently. I hope season 2 will be announced soon without any major cast change.
I think it is actually the Prime Minister. I don't think he is that against Xu Xiao/XFN, all his messages are…
20 Volumes? That's a lot. I wonder how many years will it take to complete the drama series, if the production team decides to finish it. I'm sorry about your quarantine situation. I hope it goes well.

But, still hoping.
I am going to watch regardless of how this version ends.
