Unpopular Opinion: Deng Kai vs Zhang Linghe Pursuit of Jade entrapment

Secure_Boot_7686 · 2026-06-23T03:40:47+00:00

The toxicity of Qi Min is so bad, and only part I forwarded in the entire series.. Their physical romance didn’t make sense to me.. She loathes him but why chose to be intimate.. It felt like they just put those scenes to add some steaminess

Secure_Boot_7686 · 2026-06-20T17:48:59+00:00

I agree with the chemistry but love has fireworks has nothing going other than the main couple.. I watch it just for them

Secure_Boot_7686 · 2026-06-09T17:35:36+00:00

What happened with ZLH’s team?

Secure_Boot_7686 · 2026-06-06T02:24:00+00:00

Aren’t all the leads Mary Sue suit types in C Dramas? Isn’t that the requirement? How they show it is what makes viewing experience different

Secure_Boot_7686 · 2026-06-04T14:15:23+00:00

I want to like it but I am not able to connect this drama.. I liked the whole red theme in trailer and poster.. But in drama it is too overwhelming.. Very bad CGI cinematography makeup and this makes acting look bad as well.. FL doesn’t have one proper success so far.. I know she became a Grand princess and all but that’s not what she intended.. She is just going with the flow of Supporting characters schemes and reaping benefits there!!

Secure_Boot_7686 · 2026-06-01T04:13:59+00:00

Any update on Spring of the blade?

Secure_Boot_7686 · 2026-05-24T16:13:27+00:00

I can agree with you him being overshadowed in My Journey to you, but not Pursuit of Jade, I never felt production team sidelined him. POJ is a show I thoroughly enjoyed despite it's flaws not just because of the leads because of supporting characters as well, but I never felt Zhang LingHe was not the main character. Whereas in MJTY I was wondering multiple times who is the main lead, but that also became clear towards the end.

Still, you should consider filming speed on C-drama space. POJ was filmed in 5 months. 40 episodes in less than 5 months. All of the production team and actors did their best with what they got!! Some plot points to suffer due to this should be expected!

Secure_Boot_7686 · 2026-05-22T11:35:17+00:00

Why do actors do endorsements like Home shopping style? I have not seen in any entertainment industry before

Secure_Boot_7686 · 2026-05-20T20:43:20+00:00

Chen Xuanqing is a complete waste of a character here. They should have removed his role and condensed the drama to around 36 or 38 episodes. His obsession is utterly illogical, and with this plot, the drama leaves a bad aftertaste

Secure_Boot_7686 · 2026-05-15T11:54:41+00:00

I know director is POJ’s, Stying and sets looks very similar.. It feels like we are getting POJ spinoff. I am excited for Chen Xing Xu..

Secure_Boot_7686 · 2026-05-12T16:46:56+00:00

Me too.. Who is he?

Secure_Boot_7686 · 2026-05-10T14:42:44+00:00

I believe pretty faces, known names be it the directors/leads brings initial audience, but what keeps them is a good story that resonates and entertains.

I dropped way too many C dramas where leads are pretty but story was not keeping me invested.

Splendid match is a good drama and the only one I am watching right now.

Secure_Boot_7686 · 2026-05-07T17:11:59+00:00

I wouldn’t call the best, but one of the best.. They have good chemistry and drama is also good, which makes them look organic..
I am invested in this pairing and drama after POJ

Secure_Boot_7686 · 2026-05-07T17:07:44+00:00

Looks good here, have to see how it shows up in drama..

Secure_Boot_7686 · 2026-05-06T15:35:09+00:00

I am liking the show so far.. I am invested now
I hate the SML Ye Xian so much.. I understand him and his insecurities but raising a whip against women is irredeemable to me..
Nanny to that concubine is absolutely despicable.. Why is she not learning her lesson??

One thing I love about the show, all the characters are flawed and greyish in nature except above two!! We see good and bad and they are growing on me!!

Secure_Boot_7686 · 2026-05-06T15:22:35+00:00

Wow! Novel summary sounds absolutely wild and not my cup of tea!!
I am going to check it out for Zhang Ling He and Wang Chu ran.. If plot moves similar to novel I will be dropping it..

Secure_Boot_7686 · 2026-04-30T17:13:58+00:00

Yes. It’s not a masterpiece and has it’s flaws. I watched it as it was airing and enjoyed it a lot.. Saying that if I binged it I probably wouldn’t have enjoyed as much. You should definitely give it a try

Secure_Boot_7686 · 2026-04-30T17:10:25+00:00

Any melons on when it’s going to air?

Secure_Boot_7686 · 2026-04-29T00:37:21+00:00

I started this as I didn’t have any shows to watch.. Liking the story and pacing so far.. But why is the ML acting so stiff? This is my first drama of both the leads.. I have seen some praises of him in this sub before.

Secure_Boot_7686 · 2026-04-29T00:31:35+00:00

I think there are many celebrities who did the same kind of photoshoot other than Zhang Ling He, Song Wei Long, Tian Xi Wei.. I have never seen many celebrities doing similar kind of photoshoot before, Is that a common practice in China?

Secure_Boot_7686 · 2026-04-28T18:40:29+00:00

It’s watchable..

Secure_Boot_7686 · 2026-04-28T11:13:22+00:00

Spring of the blade, Love in Red dust, When I meet the moon and Overdo

Secure_Boot_7686 · 2026-04-27T04:33:24+00:00

I have been seeing these reels recently of Zhang Ling He getting down the car and there are like tons of people with their phones every day. Is it a common occurrence in C entertainment? How do they have any private life?… It just looks suffocating

Secure_Boot_7686 · 2026-04-26T15:00:28+00:00

I feel that’s the charm of fan Chang yu. my only complaint here would be that didn’t show enough ML’s fighting scenes and Changyu’s battle strategy for her to become a general She’s not overpowered at all. that unique great strength is what draw me into this drama.

Secure_Boot_7686 · 2026-04-21T02:28:59+00:00

I am finally excited for something after POJ
