Many commenters: Is there any romance? (They want it)Me: Is the friendship not enough? How about the bromance?…
so far the bromance with the villain is like toxic doomed yaoi. not sure what it will be like with the introduction of xiao shun yao’s chatacter but hoping they will have a good bond.
Haha in the novel she was actually 1 year older than him and also FL was ML's sister in law
do you have the same problem when ML is a decade older? i notice you have hidden love and goblin on your list which both have uncomfortably older male leads.
Just started watching and got hooked after Eps3. This drama will be my number one on my favorite list. All actors…
ofc they can? chinese people are like everyone else in the rest of the world. popular idol dramas are popular among idol fans but that doesn’t mean the general population is watching those shows. how are you generalizing over 1 billion people lol
He is just a skinny person. He’s dealt with some bad injuries in previous dramas and took a while to recover.…
and how do you know he had an eating disorder? do you follow him closely? he’s a former ballerina and does all his own stunts. that’s not possible without adequate nutrition. with age and metabolism he has gotten thinner and he has had multiple injuries on set for dramas. he got punched in the face by a larger person on set while doing an action scene and was in the hospital on a liquid diet which contributed to his extreme thin look in 2023. being busy didn’t help but he has finally put on some weight recently. many actors are forced to be thin for costume dramas and it sucks but it’s unfair to skinny shame someone who truly has trouble gaining weight. literally everyone comments on his thinness all the time and how it’s disgusting. he actually gets massive amounts of hate for his body in china. i’m sure if he could gain weight and receive less hate for it he would.
The ML is absolutely underweight. He looked like he has an eating desorder but I think is the presure from the…
He is just a skinny person. He’s dealt with some bad injuries in previous dramas and took a while to recover. He always gets these kinds of comments which is kind of rude imo
as the title suggest and as is referenced many times in the drama, this takes place during the tang dynasty
its set during a specific reign after the fall of empress wu and makes references to her frequently. the characters are fictional though but the historical figures are real. as far as historically accurate, i would say it looks pretty authentic to tang dynasty aesthetic but it’s probably not on the level of longest day in chang’an which took years of research and set up to create. it’s a supernatural mystery drama with wuxia elements so you still get the magical medicine & poisons, martial artists, and fake assassination plots.
edit: the overarching political stuff is with said real figures but theyre not always present in the story.
This doesn't sit well with me. My innocent Arthur to be paired with Delraba, she's way too older than him. The…
it's the same age gap as prisoner of beauty actually but i don't see people bothered by that one at all. seems to be people only have a problem when the woman is older even though they're basically all in the same age group and friend circles.
