Beanie level: Rooftop room dweller

I finished watching episode one of Fangs of Fortune. Are there any Beanies watching this drama?

      Fangs of Fortune on iQiYi which is a network whom is notorious for having difficult access to their dramas because they’re so exclusive (i.e. Doesn’t share/sell their drama’s streaming rights with another network), much like the network Youku

        @bebeswtz That sucks. The commercial breaks are constant and makes watching the drama less enjoyable.

          Yea, for mainstream viewing, both platforms makes it so that you either have to watch it on their app or you have to wait a bit until they release the drama onto YT (only for newer dramas, and even then, not all dramas).
          For dark side, you’ll have to dig if you want to find it with subs

      @Neolttwigi I did enjoy the first episode. I was watching it on IQIYI but the constant commercial breaks are really annoying.

I watched the first two episodes of Tail of the Nine Tailed: 1938 for my new podcast. This was one drama that I never considered watching because I remember Beanies having mixed reactions to the storyline. Episodes one and two had some funny moments and some frustrating ones. I am curious to see how I’ll feel about this drama once I’ve watched a few more episodes.

My colleague and I have been watching and discussing Tale of the Nine Tailed for our podcast. This afternoon we will be discussing the final three episodes. This will be my second viewing of TOTNT and the reveal at the end of the final episode still confuses me. What is the purpose of Yeon’s deception? Beanies, any thoughts?

    I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! I literally just finished it not even 3 hours ago 🥹🥹🥹
    Just keep in mind that some things have to be viewed from the perspective of how things were in society in those times (ancient)

    It’s a lovely, memorable story, and a nice balance if you’ve been watching a lot of xianxia or xuanhuan lately 😉

    It’s so great to see more and more (Chinese) novels be translated to other languages—most of them, English— so that it’s accessible for more people to read. The only hope is that the translators and publishing houses don’t mess it up (as they did with the English translation for Founder of Diabolism 🥲)

    All of the headpieces— even for the women— are like, “You’re not tall enough (like Bai Lu & Luo Yun Xi)? I can help with that. You’re already tall (like Deng Wei)?? I shall make you giant and tower over all” 🤣🤣🤣🤣

      The headpieces are beautiful. I cannot imagine that they were all that comfortable.

        Same, they look heavy. It’s weight on weight with the wigs and headpieces and costumes, etc., and iirc this was filmed in summer, too 😭

            I’m pretty sure most costume dramas (historical, xianxia, wuxia, xuanhuan) are filmed in the summer for the scenery and easier travelling (especially if filming takes places on a mountain— don’t wanna be traversing thru a mountain where it’s colder and possibly snowy). It’s rare to see real/naturally produced snow in costume dramas. If there’s snow, it’s probably from a snow machine or CGI. Although, I think we may see some real snow from dramas that filmed earlier this year, as there was a huge snow storm that lasted 2 days in Hengdian and it happened when ppl were filming— EVERYONE was posting about it in their Weibo 🤣 There’s also an upcoming iQoYi drama that was filmed in the winter, a drama starting Joseph Zeng and Li Qin

      Very tough drama to watch … but so worth the while. Very difficult subjects handled with sensitivity and grace. Rowoon was especially good too. 😊❤

        Oh yeah, each theme was so hard to watch. The story between KHS and LJS was so intense and sad. At least, Rowoon’s character brought a little bit of joy.

Beanies, what are your thoughts on Zhang Wanyi as an actor? I admit that I have only seen his performance in Lost you Forever and now I’m currently watching Are You the One. I find Zhang Wanyi to be very expressive and talented. However, I have read comments from people who believe that he is a mediocre actor.

    I have not watched Lost you forever, but I’m loving him to pieces in Are you the one (Hidden Charm).
    As you say, he is very expressive (there are some compilations of his facial expressions in this drama).
    I think he can act with his eyes. I feel everything just looking at his eyes.

    I think he’s a wonderful actor. In LYF I loved his slow burn anger and jealousy. In AYTO/Hidden Charm, I love how expressive his face is. In both dramas he does an amazing job with character development.

      I just don’t understand the severe criticism of his acting.

    From what I’ve watched of him only in Lost You Forever, I really like him and thing he has a really good screen presence and gravitas that is rare in young actors like him nowadays. He has the good type of restraint in his acting and I think he can go far!! I think he’s really suited for costume dramas but he was also the ML in the Chinese remake of Korea’s The Good Doctor which is on my “To Watch” list

      i was watching some behind the scenes for Fantastic Doctors and it seems that he did put in a lot of effort in his portrayal of the character.
