I like her too. She seems to have a great life. She's married and had a baby by 34, and still acting in good projects.…
prior to acting, she was a professional ballerina. she seems to keep in shape and even took some martial arts training during her time off during her gap year in filming. I think she will not be hindered by aging in fighting projects because she is in very good shape. I like to see her in an action-drama showing her petite yet agile figure, esp with her commanding presence on screen.
why is this my first impression of this drama what does this mean 😭
it doesn't mean anything. I'm just simply amused. How about the one trying to kill her calls her a lunatic when she finally takes a torch to them. Maybe it's translation problem, but it's funny, the real lunatic calls her a lunatic.
Deception does not come naturally to Xu Kai.https://x.com/i/status/2083559561462517812
Did you understand that game they played about who is good guy and who is bad guy? I just like listening to Xu Kai who kept talking away. It's rare to hear him talk so much.
I looked into how 京都 is used in Chinese historical dramas, and why it’s mistranslated as “Kyoto.” Chinese dramas don’t speak full Classical Chinese, but they regularly drop in old terms like 京都 to create an ancient tone.
"京都 originally meant “capital city” in classical Chinese — a general term used in ancient texts to describe major imperial capitals such as Chang’an and Luoyang. About a millennium later, during Japan’s Heian period (794–1185), Japan adopted Chinese administrative vocabulary because Japan modeled its writing system, government structure, and city‑planning on Chinese civilization, and this is exactly when Japan’s capital became Heian‑kyō — the city that later came to be called 京都 (Kyoto). In modern Chinese, 首都 became the standard word for a national capital, but historical dramas still use 京都 because 首都 sounds modern and bureaucratic, out of place in a premodern setting. 京都 preserves the classical tone, avoids naming real modern cities, and maintains the literary rhythm of historical dialogue. Scriptwriters choose it deliberately — which is why translation software often mistranslates 京都 as “Kyoto” instead of “imperial capital.”
Essentially, there is no longer a “京都 = jīng dū” in modern China. Today, the capital is called 北京 (Beijing). But there is still a 京都 in modern Japan — it’s Kyoto, though it's no longer the capital.
If a scriptwriter used 首都 instead of 京都, it would feel jarring to a Chinese viewer.
Why iqiyi platform having cheap quality and screen looks so bold compare to wetv ,even other pirate sites has…
pirated sites obtain dramas by illegally ripping or intercepting streams from official platforms such as iQIYI, Tencent Video, Youku, etc. so it's not iQIYI but your app. and another topic, when official subs aren’t available because they are delivered differently than the video streams, they switch to machine-translated ones which are so bad, you can't understand anything.
Liang Yong Qi is such an excellent and versatile actor. What a hidden gem under Huanyu Entertainment (his agency). His acting really suits this director's style too, which is why he shined in The Double.
It won't be on CCTV. It says on this page, iQiyi on both original network and where to watch. Royal Feast was…
Xu Kai’s dual‑platform TV/web dramas were in 2021/2022 (CT, FIYS, LITKM). ABAY was definitely a TV drama, with dual platforms on Hunan TV, Mango TV, and Tencent Video. That’s why Spring of the Blade caught my attention — it’s a web drama that will be dual‑platform (iQIYi, Youku), which seems uncommon for him.
