How many girls are infatuated with Gao Zhan in Legend of Lu Zhen?

-
While I was wasting away my precious sleep time browsing the Baidu Forum, I chanced upon a funny post listing all of Lu Zhen's love rivals in Legend of Lu Zhen. Gotta say this girl has some serious competitors to eliminate to win her Prince Charming! It seems like almost...I mean ALMOST every non-blooded related woman in the story is romantically interested in Gao Zhan. He is practically a Marty Stu character but in a more likeable way.

1. Xiao Huanyun - Gao Zhan's First Love
She is Lu Zhen's most menacing love rival in the early episodes. After learning that Gao Zhan has fallen for Lu Zhen, she throws countless hurdles and obstacles at our OTP. Luckily, she eventually gives up on Gao Zhan to reciprocate her husband's affections.

2. Shen Bi - The Evil Secret Admirer
Lu Zhen's ultimate nemesis in love and career. She is perhaps the most villainous character in the entire series. After meeting Gao Zhan for the first time, she immediately falls in love with him and tries to destroy any woman who grows close to Gao Zhan.

3. Shen Jiamin - Ideal Wife
Her high birth makes her the ideal marriage candidate for Gao Zhan. Princess Gao Xiang, Gao Zhan's elder sister, desperately wants her brother to hook up with Shen Jiamin .
4. Princess Tongchan - The "official" wife
I believe she appears toward the latter half of the series and ends up marrying Gao Zhan as his official "empress" or "wife." Unlike Lu Zhen's other love rivals, Princess Tongchan only has the mindset of a 8-year old. Does she even know what "love' is?

5. Lamei - The mysterious obsessive admirer?
I did not even know this character was interested in Gao Zhan until someone suggested it on the Baidum Forum. I still have doubts about whether she actually harbors any love interest in our Prince Charming. I just know from an interview that she said she wanted to dig Lu Zhen's heart out. 
 

In conclusion, no matter how many girls are interested in Gao Zhan, he's only has eyes for our main girl. I guess that's the benefits of being the #1 female lead. LOL.

Understanding the final episode of Sealed with a Kiss

Are you unsatisfied and frustrated with the final episode? Expected a happily ever after? Apparently, the scriptwriter succeeded in getting us all hooked onto this series for 28 episodes and suddenly bombarded us with a really CRAPPY open ending. My reaction when I first finished watching the final shot of Mo Shaoqian  walking lonely toward the police station was like this...   I so expected the last scene to be the novel's ending where Tong Xue cried at the airport, and not Shaoqian at the police station!  At minimum, I think they should have put Shaoqian's police station scene before Tong Xue's airport scene. Then show us Shaoqian at the airport watching Tong Xue's cries from a distance, as described in the epilogue. To cure my poorly frustrated mood, I rushed to reread the dreamily happy epilogue that the author wrote for Sealed with a Kiss novel. After reading various analyses by different viewers online and the scriptwriter's comments about the endin

Character Guide to Nirvana in Fire 2: Wind Blows in Changlin

Like Nirvana in Fire I, Nirvana in Fire 2: Winds Blow in Changlin has a plethora of characters that are not strictly good or evil. In terms of story execution, the sequel can be split into three phases, each driven by one of the three leading male characters. The central figure of the first phase is Huang Xiaoming's Xiao Xiaozhang whose intelligence and political shrewdness are well exhibited from Episode 1 to 25. The second phase is led by Liu Haorang's Xiao Pingjing. Although Xiao Pingjing also figures prominently in the first phase, his moment to shine is actually from Episode 28 onward. The focal character of the last phase is undoubtedly the antihero, Wu Haochen's Xiao Yuanqi. His slow progression into darkness and moral conflict bring the story into a new climate. This drama is officially being subtitled by DramaFever and Viki. You should go check out the series if you want to watch something that is not cheesy and has substance. Xiao Pingjing 萧平旌 - Second Yo

Ru Yi: The drama that brought Hawick Lau and Yang Mi together

I'm sure many of you have heard the surprised announcement on January 8th about Yang Mi and Hawick Lau admitting to their romantic relationship on Sina weibo.  Personally, I always wanted Yang Mi to hook up with her Gong co-star, Feng Shaofeng, but that's wishful thinking. Real life is totally different from onscreen pairing. Trivia : Yang Mi was actually the producers' first choice to play Tong Xue in Sealed with a Kiss. I think she was offered the role, but she turned it down to accept another project, Beijing Love Story. I remember during the casting phase, the casting decision for Tong Xue was announced last while it was publicized pretty early that Hawick Lau would play Mo Shaoqian. Thus, many fans speculated for a long time that Yang Mi was cast as Tong Xue. Before Sealed with a Kiss ever started shooting, fans actually created a MV with Hawick as Mo Shaoqian and Yang Mi as Tong Xue, using previous existing materials from their individual series. Now I come to think
