Xianxia C-drama Fox Spirit Matchmaker with Yang Mi and Gong Jun Break 2 Million Reservations on iQiyi

I’m not gonna lie and say that C-actor Gong Jun built upon his Word of Honor buzz for me with his most recent period drama Legend of Anle. It felt like he had a one track acting method and coupled with a very passive and restrained character led to a completely deflated performance. That’s why my initial optimism for Fox Spirit Matchmaker is more more muted, his pairing with Yang Mi in this very high IP buzz project is now just hoping it’s a fun story that doesn’t deliver another xianxia dud. The drama hit 2 million reservations in iQiyi this week and coupled with the drama not joining the summer 2023 premiere train makes it high on the list of yet to air dramas with the most god level casting and expectation.

  • Yes, I have to agree that Gong Jun was a bit disappointing in Anle.
    Or was it the role itself that was a bit confining? I'm looking forward to Fox Spirit Matchmaker mainly due to Yang Mi.

  • I think the problem in anle, gongjun character is very flat, his role can be summarized as principled and kind hearted prince. So in fox matchmaker I hope he doesn’t do that kind of role again

  • GJ's character in Anle is very restrained, he actually acted the prince well according to the book. I am hoping his role in Fox Spirit is more lively. Judging by his costume, his character should not be as sad as the prince. Fingers crossed.
