I was fortunate enough to attend the Born to Fly premiere that was happening locally and if you’re wondering if it’s worth a watch, I would recommend giving it a go if it’s in your area!

Reasons to Watch: If you’re into aviation then I would definitely recommend it. If you’re a fan of Wang Yibo then I would also recommend it, as Lei Yu is such a good puppy with many great scenes (some that will tug at your heartstrings) and he looks excellent (the yeekies look healthy too). He’s a character who has his own flaws, but he does show character growth and becomes a character you want to root for. There were a few moments that made my eyes water, and scenes that really made me laugh too. There are also moments where he gets bruised and rumpled, and some of these were painful to watch because of how much he goes through. All in all, it’s just always a joy to see him on the big screen 💚

One part I really appreciated about the movie was how it also featured the people who work behind the scenes, those that are behind each test pilot’s flight and who ensure the test pilot’s safety, the dedication that they have towards their work, which may often go unrecognized.

The movie ends with real life audio recordings from former test pilots.

Cons: This movie would not pass the Bechdel test and Zhou Dongyu’s part is quite insignificant; she feels like the obligatory female accompaniment to the lead male character.

Just wanted to fact check if you or any of your followers happened to know the answer! So while it has been confirmed that GG and DD had each other added on Weibo prior to filming, is there any confirmation that DD had added any other X Nine members added at the same time? Or was it only XZ? I think that would be very telling 👀

Hi, Anon, there’s a lot of info here so I’ve put it under a cut.

First of all, are you talking about Weibo or Wechat? There are many rumors about GG and DD becoming connected on WeChat right after the XNINE DDU episode in 2017 - long before filming. I wrote about that a while back.

In terms of Weibo, he started following GG in April 2018, around the same time he began following other CQL actors at the beginning of filming. He does follow one other XNINE member, Yan Xujia, but as far as I can tell he didn’t start following him until 2019.

But you did make me curious to see who all DD follows on Weibo. Complete list follows.

DISCLAIMER: this is a very rough list. I’ve pulled together little tidbits of information about each person and their connection to DD, and anything I personally remember about some of them, but it’s just a casual list and not by any means a definitive reference for all these relationships. If anyone has additional information that might help clarify the relationships on this list, let me know.

Men's Designer Belts

Elevate your on a daily basis look with the Burberry Monogram Belt. fake burberry belt Constructed with a grained leather-based belt, and a stable one piece monogram buckle fastening. While a representative of Greenpeace criticised the decision, Burberry claimed that the vitality generated from burning its merchandise was captured, making it environmentally pleasant. According to Burberry's annual report, by the tip of the monetary yr 2018, the corporate had destroyed items price £28.6m, a rise on the £26.9m from its financial 12 months 2017. In September 2018, Burberry reported that it will cease the practice of burning unsold goods, with immediate effect. Burberry also introduced it might cease using real fur in its products, and would section out existing fur items. From its humble beginnings to its current standing as a powerhouse brand, here is the truth about Burberry that even its biggest fans do not know. All orders are shipped worldwide via our affiliate couriers DHL or UPS. This piece is in truthful to acceptable situation with signs of wear. It could or may not have the original field, dustbag or tags. This piece is in good to glorious situation with solely light indicators of wear. This piece is unused or unworn with no signs of wear without the unique dustbag, box or tags. More than the sweetness and the splendor it offers, the wreath has a non secular symbolism that the spiritual have repeatedly decided. It’s a season of giving and forgiving, and the great ole wreath has one thing essential to symbolize. There square measure occasions wherever we want a factor to require out or cease the rusts. Our lavatory could possibly be a staple used for germs, we want to wash it usually because completely different microorganism transfer to soiled our bathroom and life in all probability. In 1856, tailor's apprentice Thomas Burberry based the British firm Burberry with a set of outerwear. wikipedia handbags The house's most well-known creation, the trench coat, was created for troopers preventing in the WWI trenches. Fast ahead 150 years, and at present the model is known for classically stylish ready-to-wear, fragrances, timepieces, children's garments, and more in addition to timeless trench coats. Its iconic verify pattern is recognizable all over the world as a mark of luxury. The company more than doubled gross sales per merchandise from Bailey’s last catwalk assortment, although this was partly as a end result of it cut the variety of items available immediately after the show. Bestsellers included a classic check cap and a rainbow verify tote bag. In March 2021, Burberry was the first luxury brand to be targeted in China as a half of the backlash relating to sanctions against the systematic human rights abuses and genocide in Xinjiang. Brand ambassador and Actress Zhou Dongyu terminated her contract with Burberry. I just marvel how the belt works, it seems impractical. It’s a cute bag and would have potential however the costs aren’t matching. If the belt transformed to a shoulder strap then I would understand the aim in any other case, I don’t just like the look.

Ancient Love Poetry (2021) - Episodes 1-3 First Impressions

This is not bad so far. I’ve seen a lot of mixed reactions about this drama, but it’s actually pretty decent. I heard that it’s being ripped apart by audiences in China, but some people on reddit mentioned that the drama is actually good, but people are just critical of Zhou Dongyu and Xu Kai. AvenueX was skeptical of the drama, but I find that her reviews of xianxia dramas can be kinda harsh. The drama hasn’t finished airing yet so there aren’t many ratings and reviews on MDL, but the drama currently has an 8.3 on there, which I think is a pretty decent rating even though it’s likely to change as more people finish the drama. Most of the dramas that I’ve enjoyed also average at around an 8.3 on MDL. 

Plot

The plot is pretty fast-paced. The leads develop feelings for each other really early on. The opening does a good job of establishing the personalities of the characters and drawing you into the story. A drama will successfully draw me in if it raises enough questions and establishes enough plot points to make me curious to see what will happen next.

The FL has a different background from the FLs in other xianxia dramas. Shang Gu is destined to become the leader of the 4 realms, but she’s been spoiled by her guardians Zhi Yang and Tian Qi, so her powers are underdeveloped. The FLs in other xianxia dramas tend to start off as a nobody/underdog, but Shang Gu starts off as the most highly regarded figure in the realm. She’s basically a princess. Her guardians are played by Li Ze feng and Liu Xue Yu respectively, and they’ve always had such strong performances as supporting characters in other dramas, so it was a pleasant surprise seeing them both here. Their characters have great brotherly chemistry, and they provide comedic relief. 

The ML is your stereotypical stoic, brooding, emotionally suppressed, and powerful immortal. He has no interest in women, that is until he’s tasked by Zhi Yang and Tian Qi to be Shang Gu’s mentor in order to help her unlock her powers. All the women in the immortal realm crush over him, but he couldn’t give a rat’s ass about it. Very typical. 

Chemistry

The ML and FL’s relationship reminds me of Bai Zhi Hua and Hua Qian Gu’s teacher-student relationship in Journey of Flower, which was the first xianxia drama that I watched. But, unlike Journey of Flower, Bai Jue and Shang Gu are less like teacher-student, but more like bickering enemies who eventually develop feelings for each other. 

My issue is that they develop feelings for each other too soon. And so I don’t really feel much chemistry between them, even though I want to. Bai Jue teaches her a few moves, helps her unlock her inner powers, they accidentally touch and get too close physically, and bam, feelings start to form. These are immortals who are thousands of years old. How are they able to develop feelings so easily and quickly? Especially Bai Jue who’s know by everyone to be lofty, emotionless, and misogynistic? 

There was only one moment when they were able to emotionally bond, and that was when Bai Jue misunderstood Shang Gu. Shang Gu was trying to fulfill the challenge he gave her, but he mistakenly thought that she was greedy. When he realized he misunderstood her, he began to soften towards her. But this event alone wasn’t convincing enough to make me believe that someone as cold as he is could fall for a spoiled and obnoxious girl like Shang Gu. 

They could have made it so that his character secretly enjoys Shang Gu’s loud antics because it makes his home more lively. That’s usually how they do it in other xianxia dramas where the bubbly FL is the manic pixie dream girl who uproots the ML’s quiet lifestyle and he falls for her against his better judgment. But no, they don’t do that in Ancient Love Poetry, so Bai Jue falling for Shang Gu felt forced. 

Acting

I’ve loved Zhou Dongyu since seeing her in the 2010 film Under the Hawthorn tree. But because I’ve seen people criticize her in Ancient Love Poetry, I was prepared to be disappointed. But honestly, it’s not that bad. Even her costuming isn’t that bad. She’s not impressive, but then again, it’s not an impressive or complex role. A lot of actresses are capable of playing her type of character, and a lot of actresses already have. But Zhou Dongyu delivers, and she does well with what she’s given. 

Xu Kai isn’t terrible, but he could definitely be better. Like what I mentioned above, his character is the stereotypical xianxia ML. And so there have been plenty of actors before him who have shown how to portray a cold, stoic, and resistant character who’s slowly moved by the FL: Cheng Yi in Love and Redemption, Wallace Huo in Journey of Flower (although he also got a lot of flack at the time for being expressionless), and Chang Chen in Love and Destiny. The key to playing this kind of ML is that you’re emotionally suppressed, which means that you try to be emotionless, but there are moments when you can’t hide your emotions and they break to the surface. It’s all about the internal struggle where you pretend to act one way but feel another. As an actor, you need to be able to convey subtle and nuanced microexpressions that reveal how your character truly feels. 

Granted, Bai Jue is a little different from Bai Zhi Hua and Sifeng who forbade themselves from falling in love, but Bai Jue is more like Jiu Chen and Ye Hua who just have never known love before and is now experiencing it for the first time. But for all of these MLs, the common thread is that they undergo a change in character. In these first 3 episodes of Ancient Love Poetry, we keep being told by other characters in the drama how Bai Jue has changed “so much” since agreeing to mentor Shang Gu, but I don’t see this change in Xu Kai’s portrayed of Bai Jue. 

On reddit, I’ve mentioned how I've seen Xu Kai in The Legends and Arsenal Military Academy and IMO, Xu Kai doesn't really do well in roles where he has to be stoic and emotionally reserved. But he did really well in AMA where his character was a flirty, spoiled rich kid who eventually matures during his time at the academy, and it made me realize that he's capable of acting when given the right opportunity. His character was full of life and the complete opposite of his character in The Legends. He can be really expressive when his character warrants it, but when the character is supposed to be brooding, he doesn't bring enough nuance to his expressions and instead defaults to being flat and unmoving.

I also feel that Xu Kai’s performance was a little better in The Legends than in Ancient Love Poetry, but then again, I’ve only seen 3 episodes of ALP. I don’t know if it’s because his costar was Bai Lu and he felt more comfortable with her, or if it’s because Bai Jue is a character who’s supposed to be old, experienced, and wise, and Xu Kai is still too young to pull off that kind of role. He also looks incredibly young. He’s my age, and I’m just in awe of how clear his skin is and how it still looks like he has some baby fat. I’m also not a fan of his costuming. I like how Zhou Dongyu’s hair frames her face to make her look more delicate, but Xu Kai’s wig seems to flatten his head. I also think he looks better in dark robes like in The Legends, or his leather trenchcoat in AMA. He looked more rugged. But his white clothes in Ancient Love Poetry takes away from his character’s demeanor as a powerful immortal, and unlike Wallace Huo who’s older and thus is able to pull off dainty and delicate white robes, Xu Kai’s baby face doesn’t really pair well with it. 

Other notes:

The CGI is probably some of the better CGI that I’ve seen to date, and I’m not going to lie, I’m pretty impressed. Objects magically appear and disappear almost seamlessly, and characters teleport smoothly. 

Still waiting for the OST to come into full effect. It probably won’t happen until later in the drama when there’s more angst and emotion, but I also find it weird that they don’t have an opening theme? It’s just Zhou Shen singing some vocal effects, but no actual song. 

Overall, I’m going to keep watching. I’m a sucker for xianxia, and I love comparing the similarities and differences between different dramas, so I’m looking forward to seeing how this goes and whether it’s as bad as people say it is.

hi! i'm from London, England with chinese heritage. i know quite a bit of mandarin but i'm still learning and there's a lot of han chinese culture that i don't know.

this is a side blog for all my c-dramas that i watch and i wanted a place to just talk about some stuff that i like about dramas and what i don't like. it's also for practising my analytical skills and 'active watching'. but of course, everyone has their own opinions and i will try to be mindful of that and not blurt out anything phrased too harshly or anything too scandalous.

I also write bubble tea reviews for all of you bubble tea fans out there! the master list is looking quite barren right now, but the link to get to that is here.

okay, that's over and done with, let's move on to the dramas

.

ⓡⓐⓣⓘⓝⓖ ⓢⓨⓢⓣⓔⓜ

usually I rate my dramas in plot, characters, production and acting out of ten, then find an average to give an overall rating. 

I also have a rewatch value (idea borrowed from mdl lol) and also a hidden gem value which is rated out of five. the rewatch value is basically how likely it would be for me to rewatch it, while ‘hidden gem’ is more about how unique and meaningful the drama was in comparison to everything I’ve watched before.

ｄｒａｍａｓ . ｏｎ  .  ｐａｕｓｅ

Love Like The Galaxy [ period ] Zhao Lusi - just like Legend of Haolan, I am becoming way too attached to this spunky lil fictional character and her relationship to everyone in her life- I think I will make myself an emotional wreck if I don't take a break, so imma wait until I feel more at peace- im so emo about this show its getting bad

Moonlight [ modern rom ] Esther Yu + Ding Yuxi - this is such a cute drama omg. I haven’t gotten much further than the 6th episode as I quite honestly prefer the more depressing xianxia dramas lol, but whenever you feel sad or anything this drama is such a gem, I love the chemistry between the two main leads- it is so entertaining and so fun to watch.

Serenade of Peaceful Joy [ period ] - ngl although the costumes are so slay and the drama overall so beautiful, I can’t get my head into it. It’s a little too slow pace for me to really calm down and watch this. there’s also some long windy political court scenes which I don’t completely understand (maybe you have to know some history) but overall I don’t hate it. maybe at some point I will find my way back to it.

Love between fairy and devil [ xianxia ]  - sorry sorry I know this is such a fun a fan favourite but I- I'm lazy.

ｔｏ .  ｗａｔｃｈ  .  ｌｉｓｔ

Dream of Splendor - the plot sounds super sound and interesting

Luoyang - WANG YIBO (NO OTHER EXPLANATION NEEDED)

Duoluo Continent - Xiao Zhan - the sciptwriter is GOOD

A New Life Begins - Tian xiwei

Love and Redemption - good plot

a murderous affair in horizon tower - same director as delicious romance

She and her perfect husband - turns gender roles on its heeeadd

(honestly whatever catches my eye.)

ｄｒｏｐｐｅｄ .  ｄｒａｍａｓ

- ashes of love [ xianxia ] nothing will ever convince me to ever like this drama I am so sorry- I can’t stand it.

- lie to love [ mystery ] too many other dramas to watch... and it wasn't the best drama either. eventually it had to be sacrificed :(

- ten miles of peach blossom [ xianxia ] tbh I really don’t get the deal? I really don’t like/care about any of the characters. maybe one day if I'm that bored I’ll watch a few more episodes and waste my hopes that it’d miraculously get better T-T

- immortal samsara [ xianxia ] very sob worthy, but it really- its- ugh- no. its pretty but I really can’t watch this show-

- city of streamer [ minguo ] ngl its quite flat? I’m not completely sold on the dynamic between our main leads, I really don’t feel much for the drama overall
