All I know is that his dramas are very popular in China, especially the recent ones that have been released. For being so young, he has managed to stand out among many stars of his generation. Since LBFAD, his popularity hasn't stopped growing. Not just anyone can have two dramas centered on men (one already released and another still in production) with a single leading role. Not just anyone has the opportunity to film their first movie as the main protagonist, and not just anyone gets the chance to share the screen and leading role with veteran actors already established in the industry in a thriller and suspense drama. GOTD is still on the list of most popular dramas even though it's been over 9 months since it aired. Maybe he doesn't have as much fame here because he's not doing romantic dramas (just my observation), but trust me, his popularity is still on the rise.

The teasers, clips, and everything look really great. Definitely, this drama is not like the others. Its aesthetic and synopsis give off a unique vibe.

It's just the first season based on the first episode. A second season hasn't been confirmed yet, but let's hope it gets off the ground, since many questions were left unanswered.

Episode 15 is one of the best. But the emotional rollercoaster is just beginning in that episode, because from then on, everything gets a lot more entertaining.

Well, from the cover image, synopsis, and trailer, it's clear that everything revolves around the male protagonist. I find it puzzling that there was confusion about expecting a female protagonist. The story is based on a book, and the first season barely covers half of the original plot, which suggests that many questions will be left unanswered. Most viewers (over 80%) agree that the first 10 episodes are average, but everything improves from episode 15 onwards and they get hooked. In your case, it seems it was the opposite. Of course, we all have different tastes, and that's respectable, so there's no need to question someone else's tastes just because it wasn't to your liking.

This is my opinion on why I gave this drama a high rating. The main protagonist did an exceptional job, and the book's author even praised his performance and defended it, showing genuine appreciation for how Dylan brought Xu Quian to life. However, I don't think it's necessary to compare his performance to that of other actors. The perception of cinema is subjective, and each person has their own preferences. If the story didn't appeal to you, it's your decision whether to keep watching or not. In this space, there are thousands of comments and reviews. If you see something that's being widely loved, I don't think it's very positive to come here and make comments on why we liked the story if it's the complete opposite for you. I stress that it's subjective, but you've already seen that your way of making comments causes rejection in some way.

Each episode surpasses the previous one as the plot unfolds. The first episodes, especially the first 8-10, focus on comedy, building the world of Dafeng and the familial and friendly relationships that Xu Quian forms. Romance is not the main focus, but it develops subtly and isn't annoying. The dramatic part is gradually built up, and each episode, although it may initially seem like filler, ends up connecting perfectly with the rest of the story. The emotional scenes are masterfully constructed, and the series has the ability to change tone, going from comedic situations to tragic moments, skillfully playing with the viewer's emotions. Each character is carefully developed, making you fall in love with each one of them. There are several memorable moments in this drama, especially in the intermediate and final episodes. But the ending is something else, the last 4 episodes are the best for me, an emotional rollercoaster.

The drama premiered on December 28th. Why share links from sources that speak very badly about the drama just one week after its premiere, especially when it was already facing unfair criticism for its early minutes (I found that last part ridiculous)? You can't calculate success by only looking at the first few days after its premiere. This drama has 40 episodes, many dramas had a good start but unfortunately ended in failure due to their weak development, unlike this one which had a solid development.

In my opinion, you can't give credibility to a drama's success and potential based on disdainful comments lacking argumentation from people who only watched the first 4 episodes, and even less so from sources that try to measure success when the drama hasn't even reached its finale.

Thank you very much for the information. Let's hope for the best for Dylan. I trust that he'll make the right decision.

Thank you very much. After GOTD and LTTN, everyone is interested (and it was even trending on Weibo) in his next starring drama. Fingers crossed that it will be a masterpiece!

Is there more information about this drama? Does anyone have the link to the novel? Apparently, this will be Dylan's next drama, although it's not confirmed yet, but based on what's being shown, it's possible. Dylan proved in GOTD that he can carry a drama on his own, however, although the next drama seems interesting based on the synopsis, and the director has good dramas, the screenwriter worries me.

I don't think they failed in the romance department, though it was slow, there were some sweet moments between the characters (well-executed kiss scenes, especially). However, if you're looking for a drama packed with romance, this one is definitely not the option.

This drama is very entertaining. Each episode is a piece that fits into the puzzle, keeping you interested in the plot. The comedy is funny and witty, with comedic moments that will make you smile. I liked how the characters are developed, not just the protagonist. The secondary plots are interesting and well-worked, making you feel connected to the story.
Although romance is not the main focus, it develops slowly and movingly. Overall, this drama is a good choice for those looking for an interesting and entertaining story.

I finished it as soon as the last 5 episodes were released. Dafeng is worth it.

This drama deserves the appreciation it's receiving. Don't be fooled by the first episodes filled with comedy, this drama is more, much more than it seems. I waited for it for over a year and it didn't disappoint me. Here, you don't just fall in love with one character, you end up loving them all. None of the characters feel like filler, each one has a story.

EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED FROM THE BEGINNING, AND AS THE PLOT ADVANCES, THE PUZZLE PIECES START TO COME TOGETHER

Episodes 38 and 39 were incredible, the best without a doubt (although it's worth mentioning that all episodes were very entertaining). It's very hard to say goodbye to this wonderful drama. It's the first time I've finished a drama without skipping a single episode, and it made me feel deeply invested in its story. I cried along with the characters, laughed at their antics, and loved every characteristic and how they were portrayed. The comedy was gold to me, the fight scenes, the messages about courage, freedom, justice, honor, and the meaning of existence itself were very moving and thought-provoking.

Dylan did an excellent job in this drama. If there's a possibility of a Season 2, I'll be eagerly waiting for it.

Dramas very successful have had low ratings on Douban, is it necessary to compare the rating with the success it's having and the good reception by the general public?. If the drama wasn't good, it would have already lost audience by the middle of the episodes, however it has remained among the top 2 spots despite the enormous competition it had in recent weeks.

Most criticisms on Douban are absolute nonsense, giving 6-character comments to discredit this drama when it had only been on the air for 30 minutes. This clearly shows that there's a lot of bias when it comes to criticizing and giving opinions.

I recommend you watch until episode 15, if you change your mind, great! If not, well... all the episodes were good for me, but the ones I highly recommend watching multiple times are episodes 15, 21, and 32

Ultimately, this drama deserves more than an 8.5 rating. It's vastly different from what we're used to seeing in CDramas, and its innovative approach shines through in every episode. Each character has their own time to shine, and the transitions between comedic, suspenseful, and dramatic scenes are seamless. The choreography is also well-executed. Every episode improves and draws in more viewers. I just hope it continues to receive the recognition it deserves.

Usually, when watching dramas, I tend to drop them around episode 20 and speed through the rest at 2x speed, as they often drag on and lose their initial charm. But this one is different - it improves with each episode and keeps you hooked."

I'm blown away by how seamlessly this drama shifts from drama to comedy! Episode 32 had me laughing out loud, Dylan's comedic timing is spot on. The CGI was also impressively done. Can't wait for the dramatic twist, it's gonna be epic!
