So the biggest summer 2023 C-drama is now Lost You Forever, and I don’t see anything else on the horizon as this was the last of the big budget big star big hype C-dramas for this summer season to premiere after Till the End of the Moon, Back From the Brink, The Longest Promise, Snow Eagle Lord, Hidden Love, Fireworks of My Heart, Destined, Legend of Anle, and Mysterious Lotus Casebook. The one missing from the party is Story of Kunning Palace which was pulled right before premiere or the lower budget ones like Beauty of Resilience, The Princess and the Werewolf, Divine Destiny, or Twilight. So if folks are looking for C-dramas to watch there is A LOT to choose from and honestly some are worth watching if you’re a fan of that actor or actor.
For now C-drama land is on LYF fever as the drama has set every record and then some with the latest breaking 2 on Datawin after two days airing. Tencent is also doing a stellar job of delivering goodies – it set up a Time Out Wall to put all the male leads (and now Furball) with points for each time they do something mean or hurtful to Xiao Liu/Xiao Yao. Fans are also meme-ing the heck out of the drama and I’ve shared two cute ones below. A full OST track list is out and there is a main song for all four main leads with Yang Zi and Tan Jian Ci actually singing some tracks. And lastly as fans are getting addicted I wanted to share the episode release schedule, right now Tencent is doing a 10 day non-stop release of episodes but then it goes to only Mon-Wed with a five day break with VIP members getting two episodes and non-members getting only one episode. So expect lots of clamoring for new episodes during the upcoming breaks *sniffle*.
Male characters time out wall mwahahaha, even Furball is on it.
A Meme on the three male leads as internet browsers. Chrome is asking questions – Firefox is Jing – Cang Xuan gege is Explorer – Xiang Liu is Safari:
First line asks “What is Xiao Liu’s gender?” – both Firebox and Safari yell “Girl!”
Second line asks “Do you like Xiao Liu?” – both Firebox and Safari yell “Like!”
Third line asks “Who is Xiao Liu’s husband?” – both Firebox and Safari yell “Me!”
Last time there is no question when suddenly Explorer yells out “Girl?!”
Cang Xuan’s eyesight chart – goes from Top line large font down:
Yao
Xiao Yao
Where are you
I am looking for you
I miss you so much
Xiao Liu is Xiao Yao and you beat her until she spit up blood
LYF and MLL are going to be my summer dramas for 2023! Let’s go!
Is the drama dubbed or do the actors/actresses use their own voice? I love xiang Liu voice there.
They use their own voice
I saw on Baidu that Jing is the only one of the leads who doesn’t use his own voice.
I believe Deng Wei is using his own voice for Jing. You can tell that it’s dubbed when it’s not matching their mouth movement or if you really know an actor’s voice then you’ll know that they dubbed themselves.
I also saw Jing’s voice (Deng Wei’s character) was credited to Sun Ruiyang. The other main leads are credited for doing their own voice.
@avarachika actually, in a lot of (ancient) Chinese dramas, even if they use their own voices, they’re still dubbed in post production (see: Esther Yu in LBFAD—not sure if this is the case with Yang Zi here but I am 80% sure Xiang Liu also dubbed his own voice in post production). But Jing’s voice is not Deng Wei’s according to Baidu. I also saw some recent interview of Deng Wei and he doesn’t sound like Jing. I think the voice dubbing is just done so well and suitable that most can’t tell.
I’m seriously loving every bit of this drama🥰🥰
Lmao zhang wanyi becoming the meme king of LYF is sooo funny, his face is just meme worthy 😆😆😆 Cant wait to be tortured by him in the future 🥲
Tencent added a “Sit Down” functioning for the Standing Punishment wall so now fans can vote to let the “sinners” rest. Zhang Wan Yi will still win I bet
I don’t know guys, I am still reluctant to start watching a drama called “Lost you forever”. Is the title corresponding to the plot or just a case of misnaming?
There are 3 books. Lost You Forever, Love You Forever, and Miss You Forever. Each title is corresponding to each of the ML. Soooo…take that as you may.
When story of kunning gonna release
