将门毒后 book fans commenting on LeiDi as if their “book” isn’t just another trashy and poorly written web novel 🤷🏻‍♀️

You didn't take the initiative and were afraid that we couldn't even be colleagues after I refused you, right? Actually, you didn't need to be afraid. If you asked or mentioned it, I'd have promised you.

I hate award season discourse so much lmao

Like I’m sorry but if you don’t think Joy of Life 2 has any real meaning or depth just because it’s not a drama about modern poverty starring a 50 year old, that’s on you! bc you clearly didn’t understand Joy of Life 2, and you prefer “meaning” to be spelled out straight with no metaphors or symbolism and only delivered in the form of miserable dramas that no young person ever watches

And if you think it’s geographical bias when any graduate of the Shanghai Theatre Academy ever wins an award but you don’t think it’s geographical bias when graduates of the two Beijing schools win (both of the other major film/theatre schools are in Beijing lol), maybe you need to ask yourself why you think Shanghai is a geographical location but Beijing is not?

The engsubs are finally dropping!!!!

This is an unbelievable drama, on a totally different plane from any other cdrama that you’ll see. It really is a must-watch.

(And maybe I’ll finally get around to writing my review haha…)

Note: make sure you’re watching the version filmed in Shanghainese, and not the Mandarin dub, because the viewing experience is really different

As long as you're still by my side, I don't suffer a loss.

Man I’m looking at some of Dilraba’s older pics, and Zhang Jin’s makeup was genuinely so much better than what these clowns are doing… yes, he sometimes had misses, but the hits were hits

I swear Jin Helong and Wang Yafei seem to NEVER hit

Like what are these looks? Why are we trying to make her look so generic?

巴粉去惹糖粉到底是为了啥呀。。。

唐嫣又没亏待热巴，路人一般也都觉得唐嫣性格蛮好的，大家只会觉得顶流粉丝边卖惨边欺负前辈

制片人夸一句是他自己的事，不是所有话都非要当真，不是所有牛非要吹

Some initial thoughts on Legend of Zang Hai

It’s not bad! In a year of dramas that have mostly been mediocre or downright unwatchable, this one is actually okay so far.

Everyone is falling in love with Zhang Jingyi, and it’s well-deserved. I think she’s the most talented actress of her generation, and her face also looks lovely onscreen. But I don’t think this is her best work. It lacks the heart and soul that you see in her other dramas and movies.

I also don’t think this is Xiao Zhan’s best work, and I question if this is the right type of role for him. The complexity doesn’t quite come across. He’s a solid actor, but he’s definitely no Hu Ge. (And sadly, I don’t think any actor of XZ’s generation is stepping up to that plate.)

The writing is okay. Definitely not the worst, but not particularly sophisticated. The approach to political strategy is a bit juvenile, but the character development is good.

The director is considered to be one of the best drama directors in c-ent. For me, he’s fine but I’m not about to become a Zheng Xiaolong truther. Other people think he’s great, and I’ll just leave it at that.

I know this sounds like a lukewarm review, but I genuinely do recommend watching Legend of Zang Hai because it’s the first watchable drama that has aired in MONTHS lol…
