Oh my, he has to shave his head again? I'm fine with YH bald, but Hawick?!! Not a fan of Hawick at all - I MUCH prefer his dad Lau Dan, who was the most awesome and funny Hong Qigong ever.

I still love my Nicky & YH bromance too bits. :D

O I ADORE Lau Dan!! I hate LoCH94 but still he's awesome in that and the of course the classic 84.

lolz clearly it's just me head thinking too much, but don't you think it's super likely? meanie me is thinking this time around, there really is no way he's NOT stealing show vs Hawick. And since I don't care for Wallace and I've only seen him as the other popular poet Nalan on TV as I can recall, and imo he's so bland in it. It's a sure win even holding up to comparisons. I just pity him stuck in WD and bald hahaha he said he doesn't mind as long as the character is interesting and appealing to him, I can't see Nalan as not attractive to hell playing.

Ahhh, I'm so immersed in the Nicky+YH bromance as well. haha I saw that caption of a HG interview out of nowhere being jealous commenting on the 3 Tigers and I still can't stop laughing.

I also hold the opinion like a bunch of red beans where I think HG is not as buddy and caring as he can be towards YH in their relationship, unlike the other way around.

His schedule seems well booked up until the first half of next year or so. Looks like he doesn't need to join any company to get good projects.

Seems like it! ^^ And I'm soooo happy for him. You know, he's sooo good with his use of words in interviews, reading between the lines, we can tell working under TR's management, he doesn't feel free at all and things r handled by others not exactly how he wished them to be and forced on him (understatement) He's so wise with his choices now that he's off TR, first still joining BBJX as 13, it's virtually fail proof for him. This is such a likeable character, a wuxia hero almost in a historical period piece and he nailed it across the board, even if BuBu was not as solidly great, he's betting and I'm too his 13 will still be praised. Not even one word is uttered anywhere he didn't do a fine job as 13, and that attracts him all the new fans and peeps started checking out his old works, I've been reading gushings on how good a job he did with his YangKang (Esp how peeps who used to love HG more, after watching, think YH did so much better in comparison), his YLX, his Qi JunZao, his young QianLong. It's almost like an open secret he ( ... )

Oh, Wallace Chung definitely more than lives up to the raves. His Kangxi in DOMD had that imposing, regal feel which totally outshone HXM's screaming banshee WXB. It's Hawick whom I don't see the big deal about looks-wise, presence-wise, acting-wise...I'd even put FSF ahead of Hawick in talent. Though I'm starting to feel FSF is getting over-rated now.

I don't see it in Wallace, he's better than Hawick but not much, and he has such a huge fandom. I don't notice Wallace being imposing/regal, most of the time I was shellshocked by HXM's horrible perf, Wallace's KX was like a faded wallflower I dun even notice, good or bad acting-wise, I honestly have no idea, I'm just bored by his screen presence. I hate everything about ZJZ's DoMD. Hmmm, as far as JinYung's DoMD's KangXi, only the young Andy Lau had that right essence of youthful naivete mixed with brilliant shrewdness.

Man! I just realise the director (Zeng Li Zhen 曾丽珍) of Shang Shu Fang also directed Feng Chuan Mu Dan 凤穿牡丹 which catapulted Hawick and Li Xiao Ran to fame. Ms Zeng also directed a Fei Wo Si Cun adaptation, Too Late To Say I Love You 来不及说我爱你 (starred Wallace Chung and Li Xiao Ran). AND she's going to direct Lonely Court in Late Spring 寂寞空庭春欲晚...I'm wondering if she's going to cast Li Xiao Ran as love interest of Hawick and YH though, instead of Tong Liya. Li Xiao Ran to Ms Zeng seems to be like what LSS is to LB.

Saw on weibo that William Peng sent a picture of a book of Nalan to YH.

Interesting tidbit. Heheh!

Yes, she's a very productive PD!

Have to admit I don't like most of PD Zeng's past Cdrama works, but they r all watchable. I'll try to read Lonely Court in Late Spring just coz I haven't read any FeiWoSiCun, but I've heard of my cousins raving about her much more and longer than TongHwa. I'll see. I disliked to different degrees all the TV adaptations of her novels though, the productions usu reeked dated and second rated, but most of all I find many plots she used very cliched. haha I don't like a lot of things ;P

arghhhh...I really don't like Li XiaoRan. I have problems with PD Zeng's choice of many main actresses in her drama (eg YH's OTP in
ShangShuFang...@_@ ) I'm only seeing hope in Lonely Court because even though I hardly loved any PD Zeng's latest Cdramas, she's good as a PD in solid story telling and I really like Tong LiYa. I've madskill in pretending buggy things like Hawick doesn't exist on my screen while watching.

William REALLY loves Loverboy haha I love that he's still friends with the BuBu cast.

OT, I'm really interested in Chen SiCheng's Beijing Love Story. I miss YangMi in sth decent. And I can't be more 'fed up' with all the crappy 'modern romance' Cdramaland has been churning out.
