[Mainland Chinese Drama 2022/2023] Unchained Love 浮图缘

[cloud9]

There are too many "love" in Chinese drama titles this year. I'll just use Fu Tu Yuan to refer to this drama xP

Hahaha, thanks, never seen this one). Ironically, I watched around 3/4 of the dramas mentioned, and they all are pretty good ones, despite the "overused" titles.

:') They really have to start getting more creative with the names. It's so half-arsed to just tag "love" onto the title with some random af adjective. It's not memorable, it doesn't scream "watch me! :D", it's lazy. But alas, I will likely take a look at this one because of how pleasantly surprised I was with the last drama that had the word "love" in it - which I only picked up because I saw GIFs. Any title with "love" actually puts me off LOL. 

Well, I think sometimes it's OK to use this word, for example if you are adapting an original novel with "love" in its title and you want to keep the original name.

But honestly, if I was a producer and was thinking how to name my drama I'll definitely try to find another more "fresh" words, at least to show, as you've mentioned,  - that I can be more creative than anyone else, hehe.

It's the name of the original novel, right? And what does it mean,  if I may ask?

I'm the opposite of you, I've only watched like 1/4 of the titles there! Lol...

Thanks! Wow, IMO that would be a great title. And pretty much reflect the essence of the drama,  at least from what I've understood from the synopsis, right? 

[rocher22]

I like the new title..  

 

 

that is a beautiful shot..

Congrats FTY!

Yea...But just dont understand them why they must have "LOVE" in every title as if we dont know there's romance in it...Why cant they just have a contest for English titles? Easy and great way to promote the drama...Floating on an Edge does sound precarious right? 

 

@rocher22 The Unchained... ? I still cant register the title...Lol...Forbidden Love is still ok...Coz being an eunuch, fake or not, never to be in love anyone...

I agree.

Floating on the Edge sounds very trendy and action-y.

Hahaha! We should be producers!!

I suppose they are trying to target specific type of audience, who would be attracted by that word in the title, since it 100% guarantees that you'll be watching a love story. 

I mean, at first sight "Floating on an Edge" won't guarantee that))).

Hahaha, great idea))). 

[ElleSor]

The immense influx of people waiting for this to air is due mainly to Wang He DI, IMO.

He's so fresh off CLJ and here he is with another bad guy with a soft heart (?) character. 

Or maybe misunderstood bad boy with a birth secret?

[Wuzetian]

Ready for majestic purple?

The producers should just stick to the translated Chinese title. It sounds more intriguing. I wonder how much romance is in the novel. I read on MDL that this director doesn't have a good reputation. Fu Tu Yuan seems to have a decent budget so I hope the directing and writing will hold.

I am going to wait for this patiently.

Take as much time as you want cast and crew.

So we'll get another perfect show!

[cloud9]

I rather they air this later since I'm over CLJ yet. Maybe I won't be for the rest of the year, so they can air this any time next year x)

 

A few more bts pics

Yes, I agree that they can take their sweet time perfecting this drama before airing it.

I am looking forward to this though so I hope they edit and present it well. 

I am still hung up on LBFaD and I don't think I can appreciate WHD with another female lead as of yet. 

[Wuzetian]

Wow...Imagine this version is Dong Fang Qing Cang breaking hell's rules...

Same a bit hard for me to watch another romance drama at the moment...So I can only watch another genre...

My level of expectation just went up a notch! I hope for more story and action than romance.

 

Not sure if this is true, but if it is then it'll be another 3 way battle. I'll check out one of them because I like a supporting cast.

@cloud9 I think it may not. No station would want such fierce competition not unless they all got approved and given the same slot for screening...Perhaps then may not be a choice...Guess they will be scrambling for advertisers and sponsors also...Me...I will only watch FTY coz not keen on the other 2...Lol...Saves my brain from picking...

 

Took me so long to find something new...

[Wuzetian]

@Elenor Shaw Let's hope it will be a good one! Have you watched Love Between Fairy and Devil while waiting for this? Sorry folks...Still trying to promote LBFAD...Lol...

 

@cloud9 You maybe right! AX said good dramas will be released mid Dec! So ya! It's fighting cats!!!

Avenue X

[cloud9]

I haven't seen Dylan do any real martial arts yet so I'm really anticipating it!

 

@Elenor ShawI second @Wuzetian's recommendation to try out Love Between Fairy and Devil too, if you're a fan of epic romance dramas ^^
