    Sorry I know this is wrong forum but the Hao Lan forum is soooo quiet and unresponsive 

     

    Hmm... Quiet because drama lovers/posters are discussing the drama elsewhere, including here in the Yanxi thread. :(  I chanced upon it while checking out something about Yanxi. 

     

    So, posters, @lyserose @sharonfu18 @ChloeR @wangnyeo @blessedchild @deslynn88 @EveryoneElse , 

    please do discuss a specific drama in the specific thread for the drama. Some of us may not post, for one reason or another, but we sure do lurk. Believe me, there are many lurkers. And, as the drama progresses, there will be even more discussion on it. Cheers :) 

     

     

    @sugarplum892  @angelangie Sorry mods. Didn't mean to 'crash the party here' :)

    Think better don't speculate too much based on trailers. They only show some parts

    I agree. An open mind is best for optimal enjoyment, be it from released trailers or from historical happenings. Crossing my fingers for a not-so-messy or not-so-ridic plot development. :unsure:

    Lets hold hand and meditate. May the year went through in a breeze:D

    lol. The meditation works! The year did not have to pass by quickly. The BEAUTY(drama) is coming to us in an unexpectedly sudden and surprising new schedule instead. Frankly, I'm not 'prepared now' haha. I'm so in love with The Crowned Clown and Hua Bu Qi, and both sets of OTP, both plots... :wub:

    Thanks. You are right. I thought, maybe we'll be spooked again (and we may, let's see). I could hardly believe it, since the news/rumors I've been reading hinted at a year-end schedule... (but I "believed", as per your ID lol)... :)

    LOL. I just realized Wei Yingluo is a character so impressed in my mind that I couldn't separate her from the actress. I meant Wu Jinyan, of course. (My apologies, Ms. Wu.)

    I read via twitter that the delay of Haolan was a result of the production managed to get a spot for public tv broadcast instead of just a web drama.

    @lyserose Thanks for the good news :) 

    If so, that would be awesome! This drama, as good as it looks from the teasers, needs a wider audience. Any mention of which TV station? I hope this is not just a rumor. 

    Me too. Dec 2019 would be a really long wait.Hope it will be sooner.

    @jadecloud did you read the novel? Could you perhaps spoil some bits of it for us :sweatingbullets: considering now that we have to wait til next year for the release :/

    Hi @ChloeR 

    Spoiler

    Pardon the confusion, if I caused it. 

    The drama is actually an original screenplay based on factual historical figures, although Yu Zheng did say (in an interview) he aims to promote the pre-Qin to Qin dynasty, its culture and magnificence through this drama, and is taking reference from an encyclopedia of early Chinese literature, titled "Master Lü's Spring and Autumn Annals" 《吕氏春秋》.

    qSKeN9G.jpg

     

    Historically, there was a renowned triangular love entanglement, and this is what Yu Zheng is trying to present via Nie Yuan, Wei Yingluo and Mao Zijun. And, as history has it, we know who she ended up marrying, Mao Zijun's character, not Nie Yuan's, although that alone does not mean her true love is with Mao Zijun. I'm curious to see how Yu Zheng will fuse truth and fiction and present another drama of excellent entertainment value. Perhaps?

     

    Also, we could already see the explosive chemistry (just from the teaser, and perhaps due to the aftermath of Yanxi) between Nie Yuan and Wei Yingluo. I hope there will be an equally, if not better, 'chemical reaction' lol between Wei Yingluo and Mao Zijun. I do wonder how it would be like if Yu Zheng has chosen Xu Kai (aka Fu Heng) instead of Mao Zijun for this role... haha.

    I wonder why they would want to extend or film extra scenes for drama... My theory is that since Beauty Hao Lan was filmed way before Yanxi was released, and since they didnt know QianlongxYingluo cp would gain so many followings then, perhaps they are now trying to satisfy the public and fans with a better ending or readjust the main couple of the drama? Cause it seems like Nie Yuan was supposed to be second male lead in Haolan. 

    True. No one knows Yu Zheng could offer a big hit after all that plagiarism mess he was in. He is really fortunate to emerge from it in good form, and more fortunate to achieve a hit in Yanxi which I don't think anyone had envisioned was forthcoming. But the acclaim is all duly earned, no less due to an excellent cast. My fave is still Empress Fucha :)Perhaps also due to the similarity and delayed broadcast of Ruyi. And, if they wanted to satisfy the public and fans, why not bring back Fu Heng with Wei Yingluo? Haha. Yup. My wishful thinking. >_<

     

    Nie Yuan, Wei Yingluo and Mao Zijun (and a few others) are all main leads. We'll see how the drama will end for them. I'm keeping an open mind. :)

    May i know which article mentioned that they have gone back to filming?

     

    I tried to search the chinese articles but the one i read only mention which dramas would have their no of episodes extended. And there's no further details.

     

    I don't even get the reason why this happened. I thought in the past the chinese tv dept prefer the dramas to be shorter. So puzzling.

     

    The no of affected dramas are alot....around 10....even Ming Lan Story starring Zhao Liying is affected.

     

    Without details...just based on gut feelings, i don't think all these actors would go back to film extra episodes and the sets would have been demolished by now.

      

    Most probably is the dramas originally have extra scenes....by editing, they "create" extra episodes.

    I scanned through some C-news and weibo accounts. I can't recall exactly where I read that bit. I barely remember it was from a crew member. If I can find it, I'll post here. 

     

    Btw, your theory sounds probable. That could be the case for the supporting cast, perhaps. I hope Yu Zheng isn't going to puff up with whatever he has. That would be quite disastrous, IMHO, since there are almost 20 eps of extension. Why should they film that much extra? Esp. with a budget in mind? I think some additional filming is perhaps needed and is not uncommon. It has happened before anyway.

    According to iQiyi, the delay is due to reshuffling of schedule.

    j16CySu.jpg

    Ah... 

    No wonder there's a delay and a need to reschedule. There's an extension to the number of episodes - from 45 to 63. The whole crew and cast have gone back to filming! Whoa! :0

    Pls note the drama debut will be delayed to an unknown date. They said it's due to post-production issue. 

     

    Thanks. Unfortunately, it's true and it's sad. So many rumors floating online. I find it hard to believe that the premiere could be officially released to be 11-15 and yet, just a day or two prior, it could be canceled and put on hold for a long time. It's rumored to be on hold till late 2019. Argh. I guess the truth will surface some day.

    A similar theme to Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace 如懿传, some feel after watching the trailer that the cinematography, props and costumes might be equivalent. The only con is that it got less famous actors/actresses. I think for acting and storyline, would have to watch both when they debut. Not sure about the date except would be in 2018.

    Yes, a very big con for this drama is the lack of star power. It's premiering 7-19 on iQiyi. There's also word that Ruyi will probably air in August, but aiming for satellite cable as well as online streaming. I think if Ruyi really airs in August, it may bury Yanxi. Hope not.

    @Kasmic Awesome job! Excellent demonstration of  leadership skills! A true leader knows that honesty, good morals, confidence in one's decisions, and fairness are non-negotiable. You really have taken good care of the Caregivers, our team, and the casts and crew that represent the drama Doctors. Once the rules of the "contest " were changed halfway through , without any previous notification, after the 1st offense (where changes had been made to favor the  dramas that were not following the rules of the "contest") and 2nd offense (which made NO sense whatsoever), the right action to take at that point was to withdraw from it.  WE DO NOT SUPPORT UNFAIRNESS nor do we feed dishonesty. We owe that to the viewers, supporters, and  followers of all ages within these threads,  as well as the artists within every drama and most importantly, to Soompi as an entertainment corporation with many rules to foster healthy entertainment  driven by a strong sense of integrity. It was the right decision to withdraw from the "contest" and I support it 100%.

    We could see through the votes and comments , as we had seen during and after the broadcast, the love and positive impact  Doctors, and its respective cast's performances, had within worldwide viewers. A drama with meaning brought to life by some of the most talented, if not greatest, actors and actresses within the business at this moment in time. It is written in STONE. CAN NOT BE ERASED. 

    Peace and Love to all. :wub:

     

    So, now I see. Well-said, @alcides14ahjumma. My sentiments, exactly.

    @Kasmic Chin up. You DID GREAT! I/we stand with you. Thank you for standing up as DOCTORS+PATIENTS and CAREGIVERS' spokesperson.

    Sista, you better buy lottery today or soon cos you're very lucky today to tag me and it caught my eye lol. Thanks for the tag.  I haven't been logging in for a long long time. Don't ask me why today. lol I don' t know.  Did you cast a spell or were you chanting away? lol...Anyway, Congrats for coming in second! You GO GIRL! You'll be our superb SPOKESWOMAN. YAY!

    Let me see how I can help...5 Best Moments? Hmm... it's not that I have to wreck my brain to find 5, it's that I really have to choose from so darn many!!! lol.

    1.Definitely, the helipad moment. The gaze from afar, the slowmo 'catwalk', PSH's hair flying in the wind, and the most surprising question and the best parting shot from KRW. LOVE that! 

    Let's REWATCH & RELIVE that moment :) =>>> Making of The Helipad Moment, and a bonus review hehe :)

    2.  Definitely, the boxing ring moment. Totally killing us with their HOT & HONEY SWEET chemie!

    Let's REWATCH & RELIVE that moment :) =>>> Making of JiHye in Boxing Ring

    4. Sisterhood Forever! Love these two bosom pals. Fighting & Fiver. Aren't they cool? Actually, I love the outing scene of the three girls too. They were cute, and yup, were simply girls with strong bonds.  

    qi7jWMB.gif

    5. The kiss! When they were at KRW's house, after playing with the table game, they kissed. It was so good. Of course, all their skinship and kisses were just too good. Love them all.

    6. The hospital fight that seals PSH as a bonafide fighter. Smooth moves well done.

    7. The Brewing Bromance. Love it!

    ep7_bromanceJHYD.gif

    8. The Dance in the Rain. Whoa! Love it!

    9. Their very first meeting in the park, after a separation of years. KRW patted PSH's head and she reacted with self-defense moves. KRW was prepared too. I also like their encounter in the park during their school days. Something about pigs and pearls, remember? At that time, KRW ended up falling on the ground after PSH's tackle.

    and so on. Take your pick lol.

    Oops... I just realized that the OTP occupied my mind so much, I didn't give much thought to the others. oh well, I have to put on my thinking cap again lol... ..If you'll allow me, I'll be one of the cheerleaders here, for the team, cheering you guys to victory... errr... just don't ask me to do any gymy moves. lolsdQgL2A.gif:glasses: Hurray!

    Don't forget... a soju bomb awaits our TEAM PATIENTS when you bring back the trophy. Ok, scrap that. Win or not, getting into the FIRST ROUND and supporting the spirit of participation are enough to call for some celebration... Cheers!

    Btw, I love this character, Yoo Hye Jung, a lot. "One in a million. Once in a lifetime." indeed. Yoo Hye Jung was one of the rare portrayals of a gal and one of the limited brilliant writings thus far. So spunky, so uplifting, so surreal. And yes, so beautiful and capable too! PSH was indeed well-casted for the role. (So was KRW. And the other castings). Yoo Hye Jung seems to be calling out for a rewatch... perhaps? lol.

  17. :w00t: OMGoblin! It's been quite a while since I've been so excited about the premiere of any drama. Having watched it(ep1), I'm even more excited and enthralled! This is just too well-produced and well-performed! The script goes without saying since it's from a prolific writer I already love. The casting of the main leads is superb too! Wowee! How often does a drama fan get to watch 2 powerhouse hottie male actors(GY+LDW) and an uniquely superb and beautiful actress(KGE) in the same drama? All round brilliance! Team Goblin crew+cast, keep it up! JJANG! JJANG! JJANG! This is a MUST-WATCH :)

    This drama is 'killing me' from ep 1, really! By the finale ep, I guess we'll see many 'stone dead' or 'deliriously happy' campers LOL :P But perhaps not just because of the drama's development and ending, but because of the Lonely & Great God GY?:rolleyes: Or the God of Death LDW? :rolleyes: Also, I was at first quite hesitant about KGE being the female lead, but having seen ep 1, I'm sold! B) She's a perfect pick!:wub: YIN hasn't shown her face yet (ep 1). So, I'll leave my take on her for later.

    Thank you everyone for your updates and insights.:D So looking forward to the unfolding of the plot.

  18. OMG! So this pairing has become real? not surreal anymore! Wow! I could not have imagined it to be true, seeing how shy LSW is and also how reserved KSY is. I also did not know LSW is actually a year older than KSY.  Funny that I thought KSY is the noona here. 

    Anyway, I really like them as a couple. They are so compatible in so many ways. They look and feel so good for each other. This couple is definitely looking like a synergistic couple in the making. I wish them well and hope they will end up as a married couple and love on forever. What a power couple they will make!
