So there is legit industry word that Tang dynasty period drama The Story of Pearl Girl will be airing next month in October 2024. Youku has started investor CF rounds and promos are starting to ramp up. Starring Zhao Lu Si, Liu Yu Ning, and Tang Xiao Tian, the drama got early interest as a reunion of the second leads from The Long Ballad in their own first lead romance here but from the promos and industry chatter I’m starting to temper expectations. Reportedly the CP is not as strong story-wise here as it was in TLB and that sucks for fans of the two hoping for a sweet and happier second go-around. The new preview and poster also focus strongly the female lead growth, evolution, and journey in this story which is fine and I can’t wait to see it, but does mean the drama isn’t selling the romance or CP element as much.
New preview for The Story of Pearl Girl:

Fun Fact: the underwater shot for the poster is real
Before and After PS
Lol, she didn’t do any PS, she shoot this then after 3 months LA, the only significant for her looks ,then and now is the extreme weight loose, which makes her loose her plumb cheeks and her facial features becoming more prominent. I don’t know how u want one has to loose weight in her body but not on her Facial fat too. That will be weird.
Ur comments here clearly shows that u don’t watch her has an actress, which is cool, she is not everyone cup of tea.
She DID get PS. Fanatical fans of her need to get a life.
LOL. She DID have PS. Fanatical fans of hers need to get a life.
@ Anon and usedtobefan, whatever, u have ur opinion and I have mine.
I’ve watched most of Zhao Lusi’s dramas and it’s clear as day she did PS or at least some kind of cosmetic procedure on the lower part of her face.
She’s already naturally pretty and didn’t need to change anything about herself at all. I hope she doesn’t do more, otherwise she will end up looking too plastic and unnatural which is not ideal for an actor/actress for obvious reasons.
Denial is a river in Egypt 🤣
ZLS gangnam beauty is a known fact! Nonsense to deny it because her new face say otherwise! Just like how she can’t get rid off her 🍵 moniker . Only her international fans are delusional about her status 🤣
Her actions & demeanor will always be that of a trying hard internet influencer
Baby Jaysus on a pogo stick.
What does this mean
@Mercy It’s my reply to the OP (not you 🙃) and anyone who starts their day obsessing about ZLS’s nose. It’s Sunday, so I didn’t feel like muttering JC.
@Gennita, but you could have avoided holy swear though. It was Sunday. LOL.
Looking at photos is never a good way to determine something like PS when photos are highly edited for dramas or can be edited by randos online. Watching her in videos would be a more reliable way to actually tell. But also why does it even matter? Why bring this up all the time?
Exactly, she is an actress, let her acting speak for her, if u are boreded by her looks, there are so many actresses u can watch from, which suit their perfect description.
100% but I honestly think she’s been tinkering with her face for a long time. I think she’s just ramped it up recently. Don’t know why but her new grown up/sexy image seems so contrived to me. There’s nothing effortless about it at all, every photo/video of her seems to have so much “try”. Wish she would just be herself.
You know PS – could also mean PhotoShop? Right? LOL
Thanks Koala, I’ll temper my excitement and expectations too. Isn’t it that it was reported the 2nd ML plays a more significant role than ML? Or more focus/scenes? And that it is BE? Oh well, maybe the more anticipated one should be Prisoner of Beauty.
I just noticed it’s going to be broadcasted by Youku. Bad news for international viewers like me, unless it comes to Netflix too which I doubt is realistic.
It could go to Viki – which most Cdramas and Kdramas viewer have easy access to. I believe some Cdramas are free so you can watch it with ads. And there’s always YouTube.
Praying for a Netflix release!!!
I don’t care about the drama, it’s a cliche story told numerous times before, done by better actors. I do care about the “drama” because fans are already fighting. Popcorn time!
I think it is not important whether she has cosmetic surgery or not. In my opinion she is a great and talented actress. I watched all her movie and dramas and she definitely is able to portray the different characters brilliantly.
👍
Yes, me too, especially as she gained more say. The BTS videos of her giving her thoughts on how to alternatively portray her characters were on point.
I want to say the same thing. She is versatile. She is way more talented than many of those who are academically trained to do so-called “serious” dramas. LOL.
Did you wrote that statement above on an empty stomach? If yes then I will understand that your brain was not functioning well at that time of writing 🤣
ZLS do not have enough numbers on her career portfolio to back your ‘versatility’ claim. She’s nothing but a small flowers doing subpar internet dramas
You don’t need to trash talk about someone in order to make your points out to her. Ask your mamma if she provided you with proper home and school education for proper etiquette and legit English, rude and illiterate bummer!
What does ‘legit English’ even mean? 🤣
And the only one trash talking here is you and your mom!
FYI, Zhao Lusi was named together with Wang Yibo by CCTV (government state media)as example of Desperate Illiterate celebs due to their lack of cultural knowledge and proper etiquettes!

Oh, and I really really love the poster. So unique.
Not her fan. PS or not, ZLS is a gifted actress. I didn’t watch or finish all her dramas. But I have watched her enough on screen to say so. The trailer looks intriguing and her chemistry with her costars including LYN seems strong. I hope LYN’s character in this new drama will change his smarmy image in A Journey to Love though. LOL.
