It's fun to see the headmaster (or principle) from My Huckleberry Friends as Li Yubing's coach. When I see them together I can't help but think about My Huckleberry Friends.

But I can understand why so many changes were made since idol dramas don't really have enough time to build up characterization of every single character, and instead its easier just to put them in a relationship and call it a compromise.

Can people please stop spreading rumors about Lin Yun? First of all, there is no evidence Feng Shaofeng cheated on Ni Ni with Lin Yun, just media speculation. Second of all, there is no evidence pointing to the fact she changed her name to avoid the media digging up her "black history". She changed her name because her previous name (Fei Xia) was kind of difficult to remember and Lin Yun was much easier to remember. Apparently her old Weibo messages were dug up and she was a pretty rebellious teenager, but she's not a teenager anymore. Can we just let people grow without throwing ridiculous rumors?

call me mean but I honestly feel like him lying to her like 10 years ago is no big deal. he's changed so much and has been so caring for her like...? one mistake doesn't define a person!

Hu Yitian has finally broken out of being typecast as a quiet guy with minimal expressions! His performance as Lu Yao is surprisingly good!

I thought the singer in the title song sounded a lot like Zhang Xincheng and I was right! It is Zhang Xincheng!

Lmao another Ashes of Love reference in episode 12! (Apparently Tang Xue is a big fan too!)

episode 9

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.

2 episodes from sunday-friday and only 1 episode on Saturday, so only 7 episodes have been released.

two episodes per day actually!

watching this for Jin Chen!

Still think Zhao Jian is the best female lead to grace an "idol drama" screen.

same producer, same company. You'll notice that Xu Kai and Zhang Zhehan work with a lot of the same actors and actresses over and over again.

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.

the theme song was released yesterday: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSkNrB9WlTA

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 can't believe they called Er Xi average-looking! She's literally the prettiest girl (in my opinion) in the drama!

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.
