lmao Tang Xue singing songs from "Ashes of Love" while the MV plays in the background. the director could not be less subtle about being the director Ashes of Love too.
watched eight episodes and I like it! But I hate watching ongoing dramas because you can't binge it at once! The love triangle was little annoying but it seems to have resolved for now.
I just realized how similar Li Yitong and Jin Chen are! They both graduated from Beijing Dance Academy, both were born in Shandong, both star in a lot of historical/guzhuang dramas, both are born in 1990, both are born in September (fifth for Jin Chen, sixth for Li Yitong), both get a lot of female lead roles but haven't made it super big in entertainment, and both have upcoming war dramas!
I have pretty high hopes for this drama seeing as the cast has solid acting skills and the summary is interesting. I hope none of the main characters end up being basic Mary Sues because there's such a lack of empowering female characters/shows in China and this one sounds like it could really change this the Chinese entertainment industry.
it's not really a "sequel". All the Chinese Paladin shows are based off games, so they first remade the fifth installment in the game series, then decided to make the fourth one. To this day, there still isn't a Chinese Paladin 2 drama.
Ugh I really want to watch it again but it's not on YouTube anymore!! This show is too smart for me to watch raw. Are there any other places where it's subbed?
