The drama just started filming and the initial murmurings over female lead Dilraba Dilmurat‘s look for Love Beyond the Grave has now exploded as new filming fan pictures have come out. Dilraba’s fandom are furious over what they perceive as ugly, unflattering, and over-the-top accessorizing of her character along with heavy makeup. The Weibo page for the drama has dropped in subscriber numbers as her fans have been posted on both the drama page as well as the Weibo pages for people involved including investor Huang Xiaoming, Dilraba’s costars in this drama, the director, and the costume designer demanding to change her outfits. Her fandom created a detailed 10 page powerpoint itemizing what is wrong with her looks so far and showing suggested looks instead. The costumer designer is reportedly offended and has doubled down refusing to acknowledge the complaint and going ahead with his vision.
I’m following the whole mess being done by Dilraba’s fandom on weibo. They’re bullying every single human being they consider powerful enough to make changes including people who have nothing to do with the drama like actors from the same agency as Dilraba. You go to the weibo of anyone who have anything related to Dilraba and you see fans posting things there. The fandom lost their minds.
I’m kind hoping the fandom piss off people enough to cause trouble for Dilraba’s career.
Seriously!!! OMG! I never like most of C-dramas more elaborated costume and hairpiece… Some of so laughable that it distract viewers from watching the acting.
I can see the concern of fans.. I have no opinion in this matter as I am not her a fan of her dramas , I do like her in variety shows. I feel I really dont have much right to judge the emotions of the fans. I will just standby and watch how this will erupt or maybe die down.
Just too much negative noise can affect the drama, positively or negatively, time will tell.
I will get my spoon ready for the sweet watermelon.
I’ve also been following the mess and I tell you it is a HUGE mess, I’ve seen them even go under Zhu Xu Dan’s post about her airing drama to complain which to me is stupid and disgusting, I’ve also seen them blame so many ppl including actors and actresses that have no connection with the drama
I’ve seen the Reuters and yest I would say it’s not looking good and they have a right to speak up but going rabid and attacking unrelated others is a no for me
Btw it’s not only her wardrobe that is bad, fei yu’s own is also bad, Wei zhiming’s own is wayy worse
I thought this was a high budget drama
Why would you wish for Dilraba’s downfall?! It’s not her fault her fans are acting unhinged!
Your last 2 lines just exposed you as an anti.
Or you are simply jealous fan of some other actress in search of any reason to comment bad about reba

Her fans cause a ruckus everytime Dilraba stars in a costume drama. The truth is she looks too eurasian and doesn’t fit the traditional Chinese costumes. I dare say Zhao Lusi is probably not prettier than her in normal costumes but even she outshines Dilraba in The Long Ballad. The only styling that fits her is Feng Jiu’s so maybe she should just replicate that look.
That’s what I have in mind. Reba’s visuals are too difficult to style for the right taste of Chinese costume unless she just plays her genetic self from Xingjian. LOL.
Nope zhao lusi did not outshined reba in long ballad if she did than she should be receiving all the nomination and awards for that drama not reba and show would not have been such big hit when the lead role with maximum screen time in the drama was bad.
Nope zhao lusi did not outshine her in the drama if she had she would be getting all the nominations and awards for long ballad not reba and long ballad was a big hit big hit because reba has done her job well as she had most screen time in that drama and was playing the titular role (long ballad has different name in chinese and show’s title has ‘Changge’ in the title)
Her outfits look horrible. I get why fans are mad. She doesn’t need elaborate costumes, she is very pretty, put her in a potato sack, she’ll look good….this looks comical.
The costume designs in this drama are really bad, and apparently Chen Feiyu’s costume design was taken from an existing drama’s design.
If this article is correct, The costume designer sound very arrogant.
Now that they mention it, her outfits make her look like a black Christmas tree or a witch… so I dunno what the designer is aiming for. But who knows it might look good on screen??? Hmmm
In an attempt to create a gothic appearance, the black glittering thingy on her is a bit old, archaic.
I am enjoying the popcorn.
This looks as if they stole from Luo Yunxi’s wardrobe!
Anyway, if I were her fan I would worry more about the brain dead look of her co-star.
Lol forever. He looks like that in all his works but daddy paves the way for more and more roles so I suppose he doesn’t care.
LOL. And again, LOL.
I don’t think her blood red lips help the overall look. Whatever they thought the darker she looks plus the male lead the more ominous it will feel. I guess they tried making their outfits dreary to fit the tone of the story but it just looks odd.
Are we sure this isn’t an Addams Family remake? That look is nice…for Morticia.
Her black outfit reminds me of of Addams’ Family Morticia. LOL
I’m kind of interested in this 10 page powerpoint lol
I’m normally not too fond of hysterical fandoms, but in this case, they have a point.
That costume designer should go back to working on amateur productions.
I’ve seen earlier shots of Chen Feiyu and his costumes were horrible as well He looked like a sausage roll! How can you squeeze an actor with no discernable waistline into such a costume? Some of these guys actually work out so their costumes must be different from what they could drape over of of those beanpoles. It’s fine for a designer to have his vision, but the costumes have to look good on the person who is supposed to wear them, not just on paper.
Is she supposed to be a ghost in this drama? Is that the reason for the gothy look? I honestly don’t find it that bad…it’s different for sure but she never looks bad.
How do these fans get access for these clear videos of filming on presumably closed sets and why don’t studios ask them to take it down? Do the studios not care and just consider it free promo? I follow another actress and fans post videos of the cast filming onset everyday and it’s not just a second or two but minutes of footage everyday and even a lot of spoilery scenes.
I don’t see anything wrong with the costume and design? What makes them do this extreme
yeah, i don’t know if i just have a bad taste in fashion or something, because i actually think she looks majestic in the black outfit! the red lipstick is brighter than the lip colors she usually wears, but it’s all just whatever to me. i don’t get all the fuss lol
🍿🤣🍿😂🍿🤣
I don’t think the black looks that terrible (not great), but I really don’t like that red outfit. There’s just way too much going on. Did the costume designer also do The Last Immortal? Because I really didn’t like the ones there either… They took the bird theme a little too seriously for me.
There should be no shortage of costume designer in China. It is much easier to replace the designer than the main leads… LOL…
Definitely cheaper to replace them too.
Most of the Comments here are not from perspective of neutral viewers.
Many people don’t seem to like dilreba’s work or they have their prejudice against her or simply commenting here with malicious intention against her and this I have noticed in many articles related to reba here, so yeah no need to take the opinion of these people as fact.
Their opinion really doesn’t count at all.
Have you also noticed the biased opinions of ppl here concerning other actresses like yang zi, Zhao lusi, ju jingyi, Angela baby, yang chaoyue
The first 2 actresses have the most enemies on this site for some reason
