Thoughts based on between 2 and 4 episodes of each of the following dramas:
The Starry Night, The Starry Sea 2 那片星空那片海2 – Oct 2
-Over-the-top acting, unrealistic scenes, boring
Rose Faith 爱人·同志 – Oct 5
– Read the episode-by-episode synopsis for whole series and the series should be called “Blind Faith”. Will probably never watch anything by the director and scriptwriter again.
The Legendary Tycoon 传奇大亨 – Oct 9
– Zhang Han has even worse taste in scripts than Feng Shaofeng. Both should stop producing dramas.
I didn’t even know they had refilmed The Legendary Tycoon. Must really suck for Zhang Han since he has like four dramas affected by the ban. (Thanks, THAAD )
Any news if his other dramas are going to be refilmed?
Haven’t heard any news yet. Doesn’t seem like he will, unless Legendary Tycoon brings in more revenue?
