Is this information from a reliable source ? I wish they wouldn’t add any hetero-romance. That would just ruin…
Nothing's guaranteed yet. A female love interest might be added as an over-correction in response to the anti BL stance that is being encouraged. (The drama is still being filmed, so they might be able to make big changes like that)
Best case scenario that I can hope fore is that they don't add a female lover interest, but the relationship between Hua Cheng and Xie Lian is very platonic.
I hope no legal issues rose up because of her stories. Considering her work just got an English release and all her works are adapted to some combo of web comic, donghua and live action, it would be crazy that she should suffer and everyone l else gets to profit.
China has a lot of antis that masquerade as 'concerned fans' too unfortunately. :( We can see through the volume…
I hope so. I saw this the other day and found it kinda hard to understand some of the translations. I wonder how clear it is that they are talking about the actors and not the costumes?
That said fans always express strong opinions when it comes to something we obsess over. A lot of Hua cheng fans probably already had him fan casted in their heads and now they’re still adjusting to the actual actor. Not that I’m defending rude behavior.
I think the cast list is being updated as actors show up to set. As I understand, the list was first updated with the cast that showed up to the script reading.
San Lang/Hua Cheng's costumes look so good now, but my head is still spinning from that first one.
I get it. The untamed was the first c drama I saw, and I still remember the awful CGI in the opening scene where everyone was grabbing for the stygian. Also special shout out to dog thing in the prison cell.
But to be fair, I have not seen a high-budget c drama so I don't really have any expectations (This is why I'm excited for Immortality, even though I haven't read the webnovel. I want to know what all that money on the screen looks like).
The new costumes give me hope that the cast will at least look good (except for San Lang in the desert😭)

I wonder if we’ll even see faces growing. Doesn’t China censor horror?

The lantern festival scene with the drinking game/plays and the lantern contest will be fun too.
