C-drama Blossom with Meng Zi Yi and Li Yun Rui Adapted From Novel to Premiere on December 6th
Of course we’re getting one more blossom in the title C-drama before year end, and this one from the dull as dishwater English title and the lead cast interests me zero at all but sharing in case others are curious. The period C-drama Blossom (九重紫 Jiu Chong Zi) is adapted from the same name novel and stars Meng Zi Yi and Li Yun Rui as the leads. I find her pretty enough on features but she reminds me more of the female antagonist looks plus her acting leaves me cold. He was actually solid as the second male lead in Love Like the Galaxy, perfectly cast as the gentlemanly scholar, but I don’t find him handsome for my personal tastes and actually he reminds me of a female Gazelle from Zootopia sorry not sorry. It’s dropping on Tencent tomorrow December 6th so go forth and check it out or pass. But if I hear great things about it as it goes on I am game to give it a go, never hurts to have one’s mind changed.
Trailer for Blossom:
I kind of have a soft spot for Meng Ziyi because of The Untamed, as well as Ever Night. I recall they also make fun of her a lot in real life because she’s kind of ditzy… I’ve actually never seen a drama where she’s the lead.
The gazelle from Zootopia that is essentially Shakira? hahaha… I don’t see it but whatever you say!
Me too, soft spot for her…
Meng xi was awesome in Royal Rumors but anything else has been meh since and the main lead to me is ok but I have yet to feel him quite ready for male lead material. Guess we will see with this upcoming project.
I will never forget how a adorable and fun interaction on Keep Running between Meng Ziyi and Zhou Shen can help revive a veteran singer 周传雄 so successfully. 周传雄 really deserves the revival.
I love the clip of 周深 patiently listening to tone ‘death’ 孟子义 singing…so adorable.
Her live singing is so bad that it’s funny I like how she doesn’t take herself too seriously and isn’t afraid to show a not perfect side of her.
I fully agree!!! She is one artiste who really know how to accept her weakness and open to others to see. I have to say, her singing is getting slightly better from year ago…so tone deaf but much better now.
I have to give her a clap for her diligent and her love for singing.
The director for this drama has 3 short dramas that I love and want to check this drama out for, but yes I haven’t warm up to these two leads. If I hear good things and I’m desperate for a drama then I’ll probably check this one out.
She was so much fun in Royal Rumors and he was great in both LLTG and The Last Immortal, so why not. It might be a wonderful end of year present IF THE ENDING IS A HE one (not trusting C-drama endings too much these days).
She is not a good actress but he is excellent so I will give it a go. It might surprise me.
I like her. Soft spot for her too. I enjoyed her performance years ago in a modern drama. She was fun to watch. Not that great but enjoyable.
I havent watched anything with the ML except for LLTG, so have no comment whatsoever about his acting. Will give this drama a try.
Just finished watching the first episode. I went in with no expectations and I have to say, I am liking it so far. Li Yun Rui in full battle gear, his spear and with his long white/grey hair made an impression on me. Hoping the drama unfolds with a compelling story. I can tolerate not-so-great-acting, bad lighting, cheap props etc etc if storyline is good.
I don’t understand why commenting on their looks is part of this article. I didn’t ask. I have eyes and I think they’re both beautiful people. I really don’t know where ppl get the audacity these days to be rating ppl so openly.
I agree they are both beautiful people. I have a soft spot for both of them and hope their drama succeeds. Different looks appeal to different people. I don’t believe in dissing a person’s looks just because they don’t appeal to me. I’ve checked out the first 4 episodes, so far it is very interesting.
I see a bald Guang Guang (Xia Ziguang), so that’s another plus. I will check this out for MZY.
Wow haters are always gonna hate. This review was meant just to be ugly. The review was given before it even aired. No matter how skillfully the article is written, the nasty intent can’t be hidden.
Ikr!! Such a shallow article.
Thank you for this post. I didn’t plan to watch but because of the low expectation so it’s intriguing.
I watch it till latest episode and for me it’s good and pretty. But I do feel it’s like never ending trailer for each episode because of how somber the mood is.
I’m loving the storyline, pace and acting from Blossom. I had no expectations and found myself watching all 8 episodes in one sitting, wishing for more
Episodes!!
Same here.. i’ve watched it because had nothing to watch but i found this drama enjoyable. Hope it keeps the pace till the end. Some dramas started well but the half to end got slow and absurd. A few even gave us a bad ending.
25th Dec..and I’m binge-watching this! This drama is sooooo good!!! I am loving this so much! What a great end to the year! Lucky this article did not put me off..and such a shallow article commenting on looks alone!Do better please![btw.. they are both looking so damn fine!]
