If there is any dubbing in "The Rise of Phoenixes", it's the actors redoing their own lines if they weren't said clear enough during filming. There are times when you can tell Chen Kun had redone his lines (his voice sounds slightly more scratchy and throaty).

well, it’s a normal an common thing in the filmmaking process, that’s why I didn’t mention it

I love that you're giffing Love O2O! Just a minor fix, but Weiwei calls Xiao Nai "da shen", not "da shi". Both can be translated to "master", but "da shi" means more along the lines of "great teacher", while "da shen" is more like "great god".

I knew that I will make a mistake, damn it.

Thank you so much for correcting me, it’s really important. I started to learn chinese not long ago, same with characters, I’m like a lost but fascinated by this language pup lol

Did you know that Jiang Qilin was a singer? He was a member of 青鸟飞鱼, and their song 此生不换 from the 仙剑三 OST has been used in tons of fan edits on bilibili.

i didn't until recently when my douyin account is flooded with videos about this show and jiang qilin. such a good song, and he's so multi talented!!!

i also discovered that he's in that new pan yueming crime drama/黑夜告白, and i'm so excited!

I'm glad that you're enjoying "Cold Case"! The main female cast was what first brought it to my attention and I love the dynamic between them.

yes i love so much it!! it’s so rare to see a main female cast, especially for crime dramas so i was so excited when it came up as a rec in my youtube feed lol. i can’t wait to see more of the team bonding and development between the girls as well <3

@everyone come watch this with meeeee, it’s subbed on youtube!!

In general, the "let's wait to look at ratings before considering a season 2" is weird because they are knowingly only covering a part of the original work. If scheduling for season 2 doesn't work with the original cast (highly likely), they either have to go with different actors, which will likely get backlash from fans, or they just don't make a second season at all, which will likely also get backlash from fans. They have to start doing multiple season contracts to cover the whole story.

yeah!! that’s the part i don’t understand because from what i read about ever night, they planned from the beginning on doing multiple seasons and when they casted chen feiyu and song yiren, they deliberately went for newbie actors so idk why they didn’t sign a multiple season contract with the cast??

I'm not watching Ever Night, but the whole season 2 thing just shows how producers need to change their ways in the cdrama industry. I like that they're trying to go for multiple seasons, which helps to tell the full story more completely, yet it always seems like it's a last minute decision. The drama airs and if it gets good ratings, then the production company considers a second season, but because of being last minute, they can't get the cast together due to scheduling conflicts.

i totally agree, like i appreciate how they’re willing to take the time to tell the story instead of rushing everything in the 5 eps or so but ugh, i wish they’d plan it better. it’s always such a let down for fans because we get so attached T__T

avispotion27 replied to your post “@loudmakerbandithero you sent me an ask about Ning Yi’s wool sachet...”

Sachet is considered one of the most intimate accessories in Chinese culture, because it carrys one's scent and acient Chinese defined it as something you put "next to your skin". In those acient novels or drama books or fairytales, it's common to use sachet as token of love. But there is a interesting fact, that normally sachets were given to males by females, but in this case is the other way around. I think that is because Ning Yi is not a ordinary man though. As a tastemaker maybe he just a little bit ahead of the fashion and the emperor just assume all fancy sophisticated stuffs as famine.

endlessthoughtsofafangirl replied to your post“endlessthoughtsofafangirl replied to your post...”

Yeah, I mentioned the "manly" satchets to emphasize that the fact that Ning Yi's satchet is important since it's "more feminine" and against the norm. Also, drawing back to that Ning Yi found the satchet of Gu Yan's wife, the idea that the satchet belongs to a woman important to Ning Yi, his mom, is likely.

I knew that you guys won’t let us down and enlighten us! Thank you so much! 

Okay, one more question. Is it a white crane? All I know, if I’m not mistaken, it’s the symbol of longevity, immortality, also sometimes it stands for ambitions of an official to achieve a high rank. So, what is its meaning in the context of the drama and situation or it’s just random satchet the costume department picked.
