Director of The Double Receives Praise Increasing Interest in His Next Drama Moonlit Reunion with Xu Kai and Tian Xi Wei

View Comments

• Not a fan of them but I'll probably catch it because The Double is a great surprise.

• Go Princess Go and Oh My General are both mediocre productions. It's surprising that The Double was also directed by him. It's as if they have agreed to improve here lol.

  • Oh My General has the best and brightest color saturation I have ever seen in a Cdrama. And one of the best gender subversive tropes across the board, period. In terms of plot, it left a lot to be desired, but in the end it was quite a memorable drama which stayed in my mind years after I watched it. Unlike most Cdramas whose effects on me tend to blur as time passes.

• I wonder if C-writers can write a good script without adapting it from novels... I thought The Double was an original work. The original source is helping a lot.

• Loved Go Princess Go! That drama was addicting. I wasn't fond of Oh My General but that was mainly due to the script so script does still matter.

• You h*es make too much noise for Wang Xing Yue, and I hope he will disappoint you in his next performance. I'll laugh at y'all until my stomach hurts. He's not half as good as Xu Kai/Dylan Wang/Lin Yi/Yibo/Wu Lei. Wang Xing Yue is just another shoddy actor who plans to make a living from his good looks. Open your eyes, idiots.

  • And yet another one with mouth diarrhea. Scary disease.

  • Lin Yi and Wang Yibo in particular have nothing to do here with their frozen-in-time acting "style"🤣. Their fans excuse is always the same: " They're characters are supposed to be cold."

    Wang Xing Yue, on the other hand, is showing strong charisma in The Double. I didn't liked him as an actor before, I even writed that he should be a model or voice actor. But now he is 🔥

    • Correction: Their*.

    • Wang Xing Yue acting was good in Delicacy Destiny and SOTKP. And he can deliver his lines

  • Stop falling for this troll’s tricks. It’s just throwing random names out there to see what reaction it can get. Last time it was LGX and LYN. Now it’s throwing in even more names.

• What does “post sunburn plastic surgery” mean?

  He got disfigured from sunburn or botched plastic surgery?

  • Maybe he had plastic surgery and then got sunburned? You are supposed to stay out of the sub for several weeks after plastic surgery.

• And deservedly so. As I watched the drama I kept thinking ...this director know how to tell a story...
  The double is deliciously dramatic and even the lurid CG somehow works with Operatic Shakespearean presentation.

• I am not sure about his earlier dramas. The posters look tacky. But I will watch Moonlit Reunion. What a lovely name for a drama.

• Still not a fan of XK or TXW. Although I consider writing and directing weighing more in making a drama/film success, cast also matter a lot. I'll check it out to see.

  There were examples of excellent directing in prior works but not that impressive in the works later. For example, the director of the Untamed also directed Wonderland of Love. WoL started all good with solid acting and chemistry but the pace was still too slow for my taste to finish that drama.

  The Double is like multiple steps up compared with GPG and OMG (LOL pun not intended). Acting in the Double did contribute A LOT to the success of this series. Not only did the two leads do a fantastic job portraying the OTP, but also other supporting roles including antagonists. I'm particularly thrilled at the scenes of Princess Royal. Her great performance of maniac schizophrenia sent a chill down my spine each time she spoke, stared, or smiled. Her abusive relationship with the paramour was also comical to watch. I cracked up each time when the coward dropped to his knees asking for forgiveness about his genuine sarcastic comments on his mistress. LOL. Also worth a mention is heroine's stepmom. I was surprised to find out the actress playing that evil lady was famous Joe Chen. No wonder she looked so pretty with great acting! There were other actors or even extras who did impressive jobs to make the stories compelling. They are all very good actors in this drama. I'm not sure if that's because of good directing or thanks to their acting skills. Could be both!

  Anyhow, the Double has been the only C costume drama since Nirvana in Fire and the Untamed that I could binge ep after ep overlooking flaws and plot holes. It's so addicting! Through the collective efforts of the production team and the cast, I'm sold on this mesmerizing story they told. The buzz is well deserved.

  • I've seen productions with great direction and yet the actors were mediocre. I won't name names because in this blog you can exchange comments peacefully most of the time.

    • @Johanne It's always the same h*oes barking about a subpar actor.

    • It's so amusing to see a dog trailing me, barking, and littering everywhere. LMAO.

    • @ deranged SCHI.

• BTW, one troll on this comment page acted and talked like Royal Princess in the Double, EXACTLY. She reminds me of her! LMAO.

  • And you act like you WANT to give Wang Xing Yue a bl*wjob. LMAO!

    • Wang Xing Yue hasn't achieve stardom yet but you are already acting like your life depends on how much you despise him and the users who are pleased with his good job in The Double. Trolls are actually funny.

    • LOL. One psycho went berserk just reading the mention of WXY. You need some med!

    • @Somebody Your v*gina goes berserk because of him. LOL! I'm not the one selling my common sense over a d*ck.

    • LOL. You're such a dimwit to easily expose yourself..at all level of low IQ and EQ. I'm so entertained.
