We finally got here, guys. It's not only Leizi (!!!) so soon after Mo Li, but with none other than Xu Ruohan 😍 To say I'm sat would be an understatement of the century. More apt way to put it would be: I'm on my knees.
I'll watch pretty much anything with He Landou and when I saw Zhao Yiqin as a ML I knew I had to give it a try. And it was a fun one! Nothing groundbreaking, but a nice, solid filler between longer dramas 😊
i feel like modern dramas are getting shorter and shorter
Honestly, I think that's a plus. Realistically I'd be hard pressed to find a modern drama with more than 30 episodes that doesn't get draggy. It's super easy to spot forced plots that serve only as a way to inflate the episode count.
If the small episode count doesn't stem from excessive cuts (*cough*early spring*cough*), then what we're getting is probably a tightly written script that won't be wasting any of its short run on silliness like miscommunications.
I think it's more that she's not going to do action-heavy roles (like Unveil) for health reasons. Historicals…
Oh, then maybe the days of her flying all badass aren't over just yet, hehe.
Having such a star, of course they wanted 110% out of her while she was under them still (ugh). Now she'll be able to pick and choose dramas, as many and as often as she damn pleases 😊

I believe in her new agency she's gonna be up to whatever she wants cause isn't she going independent under her own studio? So even more so she'll be able to choose stuff she wants.
From what I remember, she said it during Unveil promo, so dunno how'd they fit such a change into her character in s2.
Very pleased to add yet another very solid microdrama actor to my (ever-growing) list of favorites! His performance is always so natural and the way he breathes life into his characters seems completely effortless. When I discover a talent like that I automatically want them to get recognition and hit mainstream, but at the same time all those talents are doing well and fine in a microdrama industry + they keep feeding us with constant new releases 😏
(On a more vain note, tho; when I'm watching his dramas, the thing I wanna do most is sit him down and count all of his beauty marks. They make him look so much more attractive 😭 I think I counted around 10 on his face alone once... Don't even get me started about the one on his ear... Or nis neck... Now I'm pissed off every time someone puts too much make up on him (or filter?) because what do you mean you decided to cover those tiny beauties? How dare you?!)
I'm so so SO happy for him too! He's been a scene stealer in every role I've seen him in; he always manages to…
YES! That's my first drama of his too and such a perfect introduction to him and his scene-stealing powers. By the end on the drama I was more invested in his (and his empress' ❤️) storyline than I ever was in the leads' 🤣
I think this type of character might be my favorite for Chen Si. Sure, he's magnetic as a possessive maniac, he's lovely as a quiet, steady green flag, but holy he nails this teasing, confident, fun and sexy persona with such gusto I never wanted his cocky banter to end.
YES CHANG HUASEN IS THE ML ANDDDDDD WITH BAILU😫😫🥹🥹🙏🙏
I'm so so SO happy for him too! He's been a scene stealer in every role I've seen him in; he always manages to choose interesting characters and absolutely nails the portrayal of them. I really hope a drama with an A-lister like Bailu will finally make him a full-time leading man as he so rightfully deserves 🙏
I thought Bai Lu had distanced herself from historicals but anyway love to see her in anything!!
I think it's more that she's not going to do action-heavy roles (like Unveil) for health reasons. Historicals are also riddled with scheming and mind games, so I guess she'll be aiming for those types of characters. Story of Kunning Palace proved that she's great at those, so... 😍

(At certain angles and with certain expressions she looks so much like Lu Yuxiao that it was messing with my head sometimes)

(He did try to kill her, but when hasn't he, lol)
