I guess acting-wise JT is more a man of action, all he got to do in ChongZi was looking pretty and waving his…
I felt so bad for JT being paired to the FL knowing that she hardly has any acting experience to match JT. It must have been so hard for him to work with such co-star.
I tried an episode for the sake of Jeremy Tsui. Stopped when I went over to Starry Love. I knew I wasn't impressed by Yang Zhao Yue's acting skills from her past drama. I also question how she landed two FL lead roles in the past year given her limited acting resume. I was hoping for an improvement but I struggled in the first episode. She has the titular role yet...sigh. Seeing comments here having endured all the episodes or more than 1...it has confirmed my views of YZY are not bias.
He's dubbed a lot. I can only find 2 dramas where he wasn't dubbed but I can understand why. It's just that all the dubbers they use for him don't match him well.
At least in this drama Jeremy Tsui does not look chronically constipated like he did in the recently finished…
My thoughts exactly! I tried an episode of Chong Zi for him. But is now on my back burner list. At least here, I like the FL more. 24 episodes is a good amount for not overly complicated storyline, less fillers. I just hope the production quality is good. I find most 24 episode series have much lower production quality and scenes edited in such choppy ways that I rather get the long 40+ episodes.
While I'm rewatching 8 episodes (for nth times...) Can someone tell me why Fei Du name was changed to Pei Su?…
It's an older song by Westlife that you can find on Youtube. I read from older comments that his name change is to keep in line with censorship. "Fei Du" isn't in line with ideal Chinese societal values. I've also been re-watching those 8 episodes many many times.
I have read the book and love the series so far. Many of the scenes of the book were added in the series. Unpopular…
It's actually a popular opinion. Many praise ZXC's portrayal of Pei Su. Explicit BL is gone but those subtle glances and starring, it's enough to your imagination
I rewatched these 8 episodes so many times that I memorized the script more than the actors themselves
Omg I try not to. I have gone back to certain scenes too much. I'm now watching selected previous works of Steven Zhang to get me through. He's just a fun loving young man. Extremely talented. No role is the same as others. I can see the new challenging role of Pei Su for him. (have to talk significantly less).
i didn't expect to like this drama much considering im watching starry love and legend of chongzi at the same…
I'm still on Starry Love but fallen behind. I tried an episode of Chongzi and I was meh about it. I've put it on hold while watching Starry Love. I am about to start Warm on a Cold Night but liking the short clips so far.
Have been watching 8 episodes in iQIYI, it’s surprisingly good!!! Despite once’s said as a low budget one…
I think it's decent budget but if this is considered low budget (and make good fight scenes) then I think Wulin Heroes is on a zero budget with it's fight scenes.
I never read Lolita so I am unfamiliar with the entire story. I did had to look it up as I was curious as to why…
There is so much metaphors and hints here and there. I have to re-watch the episode more than once cuz things are lost at first glance. I like this type of drama. Gets us thinking.
Wow... The murder suspect gets a very nice cup of coffee, a very nice looking crepe cake, a hot towel and a rose…
I wonder if they did that because it was specifically to stroke the ego of the murderer as a way to interrogate him. I can't see that being used for other suspects. They didn't use it for Zhang Donglan.
I loved the opening to ep7. That quote from Lolita sounded so sinister and unsettling, it pushed my imagination…
I never read Lolita so I am unfamiliar with the entire story. I did had to look it up as I was curious as to why PS was reading it.
The mutual burning of each other between PS and LWZ is hilarious. One of my faves was from the car chase scene and LWZ is concerned with having to reimburse for the damages to PS' car and asks PS directly. The side glare of annoyance at that given moment from PS said it all. I look forward to more and more of their interactions together as they solve crimes.
I am amazed at how closely it follows the novel. I haven't read the novel but went back to certain scenes to check if the way it was portrayed was how it was written in the novel. Indeed, it has been the case. Even the dialogue, as long as it's not directly BL, it remains decently faithful. I hope that it continues to follow through. So far, 8 episodes has covered up to 3/4 of book 2.
