Although I've been a fan of historical xianxia/wuxia C-drama since 2019, I just realized a lot of them would have photos in their MDL gallery from 2 years ago which brings me to question: does it take that long for a production to air a show? I do know filming could take 4-6. months and the editing must be up to par given they would have some CGI for the fantasy elements and fight scenes. For example, this one has photos uploaded dating all the way back to Sept 2021 when it's already May 2023 at time of writing. Do they just film stuff and acquire licensing later? Why in K-Dramas like Alchemy of Souls when it aired S1 and S2 it didn't take a year for the wait? Also , is there some relation to China censorship laws in the media as seen in Till the End of the Moon which was filmed and set to air 50 eps only to be cut down to 40 due to the new regulations?
No man… CY doesn’t fit …. He’s a great actor, but this character is too young for Him… I really hope…
There's this thing called make up and hair styles that can make one appear young. For example, in The Eternal Love Seasons 1,2,3: Xing Zhao Lin and Liang Jie changed their hairdos to sport a more youthful look. Idk about u but I'll look forward to whatever Cheng Yi chooses to do in the future. He is a versatile actor with so much talents. I would actually love it if he took a more bubbly role instead of more serious ones like Immortal Samsara/Love & Redemption where he spits blood 90% of the time all in the name of righteousness.
Yes go for it the ML and FL chemistry is top notch
I stayed up last night and I'm on ep 4 now! I love it so much ahhhhhh <3333. I don't want to binge it because it seems like shows like these require to be watched and admired/savored slowly. It's so aesthetically pleasing and the plot is plotting. No lazy writing so far! The chemistry is soooo good. She's such a strong FL. Each day, I might only watch 2-3 eps just so I don't have to wait bc I would get impatient and look for other filler dramas.
There are people in the world whose face you spend more time to look at, the more you admire how their features create a perfect visual. I first saw Go Ah Ra in Hwarang and her eyes are so sparkly and remarkable I think it deserves to have its own fanbase. She is so naturally beautiful and I could only dream to have even 0.1% of her visuals. My 2nd drama of hers was Do Do Sol Sol La La Sol but I was a bit underwhelmed at the plot. (I am an avid historical/time period genre fanatic so I hope to see her in one once again in the future) I look forward for more projects from her. HWAITING, EONNIE !
Her aura or perhaps face shape and the way she smiles kind of reminds me of Park Minyoung (S.Korean actress, "What's Wrong w/ Secretary Kim", "Her Private Life", "When the Weather is Fine" and ""Love Forecasting and Weather" ). Does anyone else see it?
I'm not resuming this until after I finish the term. I have finals to do and although I know of the sad ending, my separation anxiety and the imminent heartbreak must be done after I graduate this June. Bookmark: ep 33/40
Me too, I’m pretty picky about actors and genres,, so that I haven’t watched all her latest dramas .I love…
I am a big xianxia fanatic. Not really into office romance but school/youth ones are fine for me. I love the elaborate traditional hanfus and find it sooo aesthetic and the enduring love across lifetimes really tugs at my heartstrings. I agree with you that I am picky too. I'm happy with this pairing. but sometimes for other dramas it feels off to me so even if I like both leads individually, I won't pick it up or drop it before ep 5 bc I don't feel the chemistry enough
Deng Wei's visuals in Till the End of the Moon (2023) as Xiao Lin/Sang You/Gong Ye Ji Wu is unparalleled. I sometimes hoped he was male lead. His features remind me of Joshua Hong (idol member of Seventeen, Korean-American). But I think they should update his profile pic here. I had to do a double take cuz I was so used to him in traditional style/long hair image.
Every1 is saying Cheng Yi and Li Hong Yi would play as brothers but my intrusive voice in my head would give anything if they pulled a pairing like the Untamed. I miss the B- s̶u̶b̶t̶l̶e̶ ̶g̶a̶y̶ ̶ROMANCE
Are they playing twin brothers? They look so much alike...
