"WOL is a pearl in the sea"

I thought Xiao Zhan did a drama or film? for Condor Heroes?

you think so? I thought it reflects history in those times. Beatings are common. You have to be tough in those days.

This new director has already spiced things with tantalizing scenes that you wouldn't normally see in Yu Zheng drama.

I was hooked instantly. The beginning scene was beautiful and captivating as well as haunting and had a mystery to it making you curious, follow by shocking scenes with the ability to lure you in, entice and addict, leaving you on the edge of you seat waiting for more.

Ep 17 of Jiang Li drunk in the rain reminded me of the unrestrained sober Wei Ying Luo.

I think it's standard stuff to tell someone to go get lashes

I'm not Marcus. His channel is called Marcus here! with an exclamation mark.
I'm simply sharing what he reported on his Sunday program where every Sunday, he reports on the top ten Chinese dramas based on Vlinkage.

Joy of Life novel is 727 chapters although the chapters are short but it's approx. 400,000 words.

Your analysis is intelligent, thoughtful, and deep. You have a very good understanding of the characters and the plot. You didn't just gloss over the scenes but paid attention to details, nuances, went beyond the superficial understanding and explored the underlying complexities.

He left family matters to his wife and didn't know he was being tricked and manipulated by an evil woman. He trusted her too much. This is what happens when your work is more important, and you neglect your family. The grandmother didn't have to work and was at home every day. She was wary of her daughter-in-law but didn't say anything. Maybe she didn't want to create conflicts in the family. Maybe both the son and grandmother are like that, they don't want to create conflict but, in the end, inaction had consequences they never imagined.

Fans are cost effective if this drama is low budget.

The use of fans creates a mood, symbolism, emphasize emotions, etc. especially when the scene is eerie and haunting. It plays on your senses and makes it more memorable. Using a fan is cost effective.

Marcus here! reported that according to Vlinkage, The Double is champion for second week running. It garnered 604 points. Not all #1 drama can get above 600 points. Anything over 600 is exceptional even for a top drama. The Double did this with a pullback schedule too since the more episodes it airs in the week, the higher the points for that week.

I like the leads. LSS is great. I enjoyed Leon Zhang from Ancient Love Poetry.

So what I'm hearing here is that the YZ blatantly violating the rules.

I don't understand how it is possible to cut episodes now that the drama has aired.

Yep, WoL are like two real-life couples, as authentic as it gets.

Even child actors who were popular won't make a breakthrough in a main lead role until after 20, more like 22, I think. Some can do it as young as 18 to 20.
