By the way guys, I suggest you keep search terms handy for 芸汐传 (Legend of Yun Xi) on YT or bilibili and similar channels. Chinese fans are already making "fanvids" of the series like the ones below. Be aware that some scenes may contain spoilers for the novel if you haven't read it already~ https://www.bilibili.com/video/av10810216/ (this one follows the novel plot, also HAHAHAH I agree 100% with their casting of Murong Wanru. XDDD https://www.bilibili.com/video/av10546441/?from=search&seid=2975681110787217724 (this one has pretty scenery...but I can't tell if it's alternate universe or not tho~ Almost reads like a general character intro and pre-wedding thing) EDIT: And an early press conference with the 3 leads. The main guy (Zhang Zhehan) is really cute with HYX (Ju Jingyi), aww~ https://www.bilibili.com/video/av11350912/?from=search&seid=5287601792425506016 (Sadly NUF can't embed bilbili videos...aw...)
PFFFT Ah that is hilarious. Poor Mr Ice-cube. So pretty \o/ Hopefully everything goes well for them. Thanks Ruyi~ I'll watch them when I have the time \o/
even if transmigration was taken out they should have kept her as a poison genius, i thought that was the biggest advantage to her character now i feel if she is just a regular doctor doesn't seem as interesting as the novel, i probably still watch because i am a fan of ju jingyi and for the visual eye candy setting and clothes
Lol our MC turned a year older and none of the fans were any the wiser. Pretty excited for the drama though. Hmm I should watch that video now \o/
Just realized an horrifying thought: if they take out the poisons element, what will Gu Qishao call HYX? Where will his "poison lass" moniker go??
That is horrifying. This adaptation is looking gloomier and gloomier by the second. She won't be called "healer lass' right?
Q~Q NO! It just doesn't roll off the tongue as easily >.< We already have a Imperial Doctor type show. Why must they do this? Why? Q~Q
THEY BETTER HAVE NICE SONGS AND PRETTY COSTUMES AND A DECENT PLOOOOOT Can't believe they threw in the Chu siblings there tho, they don't show up in the novel until like...c300s~ Does this mean we'll cancel out Duanmu Yao?!? But I was soooo envisioning the villainous girl from Journey of Flower as her actress too, lolol
PLOT IS IMPORTANT! BUT SO IS THE SET AND BACKGROUND! When they have a bad set that looks too new and fake I have to hold back the cringe and concentrate on the plot >.< Chu siblings? :/ Hopefully they don't mash too many characters together for the sake of saving time.
I can't wait until July...oof. Here's a birthday video featuring Ju Jingyi filming her previous drama (Xuan-Yuan Sword Legend: The Clouds of Han). She plays a mute handmaiden in this one, so no speaking lines. If you squint you can imagine she's playing Han Yunxi instead, lol. xD
More clips from that press conference on June 14th, looks like an intro PV/trailer for Legend of Yun Xi. Unofficial footage, but well...that makes it all the more fun! I've included screenshots in the spoiler tags below. Video Link: http://www.bilibili.com/video/av11326687/ Screenshots: Spoiler Title image Preview of future battle scenes (a long, loooong way off in the novel) Yunxi with a zither (oooh, classy) Medicinal plants diagram (this is prolly what the ones Pill Fiend gave to Yunxi & Duanmu Yao looked like hah) Casual couple shot (I think Zhang Zhehan could try to look more "cold" and less "blanking out" ^^ A very familiar first wedding night xD She looks cute and he's like "hmph" xD There's our Duke of Qinnnn Anyone else getting Plum Blossom Meet flashbacks? She wore a white dress with plum blossom accent then When will our Giant Ice Cube melt.... K-kyaa for the finish...! Unfortunately, there weren't any other cast members in the "trailer," which makes sense since this is a first version (I'm thinking all those scenes came from that photoshoot with Ju Jingyi and Zhang Zhehan). But definitely looking forward to the official trailer when it goes live! >u< Heheh. EDIT: A translated version of the map shown in the trailer, along with notes, is in this post in the PGC spoiler thread! (No major spoilers, just a name of a place that hasn't been introduced yet.)
@BlancFrost got me curious so I went hunting for clips. Hmm... Here's Zhang Zhehan in the first 10 episodes of Legend of Ban Shu: I see a bit of meanness, but he can definitely be more ice cube! Lol, even the PGC author was like "be cold and distant! be cold and distant!" in her weibo post~
Oh I didn't realise her was the male lead in Legend of Ban Shu...wait I just realised the name for PGC was Legend of Yun Xi ^-^;;; Not bad, not bad at all being an ice cube in that drama. Hopefully he keeps it up, even if they do get compare LFY doesn't smile that easily!
