Thanks for posting this. The mainland audience definitely better understand the ethos of the character. I cringe…
His character is set. His development is before the story but doesn't mean his believe is not test. Especially thought out the drama. His keep to have reconfirm his believe of justice. The post above talk about it. ZZ figure through out the years is always stand for justice. In Bao series, he never got test cause Bao is always there solving the case together. This ZZ in this is another interpretation of what if you put this figure who already set in his believe and have his development and push his button.

If u watch the new episode. 10 yrs ago, he was reckless, he kill corrupt official in the name of justice. That doesn't solve anything. His believe does crack as the drama advance but due to his experience, he know that it won't solve anything. This zhan zhao character represents for justice, he under justice Bao who will get rid of corrupt official. You change this characteristic and you will get bash. You can explode this character, which this drama did. Which the above post explain much better. As for acting. Each preceive a how ever they want. YY does get praise for his acting in China for this drama.
Why is killing a good person is so easy , while get rid of an evil person is so hard. Life shouldn't be like this. The sentence is too much reflect of the reality we are living in.
If someone threatens my family with their life, I would kill them and I'm not even a cop. It takes a minimum of…
It okay for you to do cause you not in the law. Cop can't do that cause they represent the law. If they do that, they are executioner which mean they can kill they want. If you let cop go wild, take the law into their hand, the world is in chao. Look at our own world right now.
Everyone want zz to kill. He is imperial guard aka a cop. He not executioner and can't decide who is worth to kill. That up to the judge to decide. This law is to protect the people. They can hurt opponent and bring them to the judge to decide. When cop decide to kill, they become executioner. They become their own law. Kinda like what you see in the world today.
I think there are a few holes like why after even when she called him by that name, he still didn’t call her…
Zz know hll is a women from the start. He was testing and she expose herself in her answer. He respect her wanting to disguise so he going along with it.
maybe the character is designed to be the penultimate honest guy but is it just me who feels he is a powerless…
Well. Cdrama always have lead to be very powerful so they can solve everything. The below the king but on top of everyone. This lead to an illusion that they can do anything they want and with wave of power, it can solve all the problem, very satisfying to watch. The ml here is an imperial guard under justice bao who is under the king. Every step he took, he represents justice bao. He bound by law, he not freed. He smart but his his opponent is smart too, and more powerful than he is. It does frustrated watcher as we want him beat everyone up and be done with it. Even sml also feel freed to do what he want but still not freed as he thought, he also bound by connection to family. currently villain just up 1
I dont understand why ML charcter is designed not to kill anyone. its boring and story continue because of that…
He is a royal guard. His is not free to kill without verdict the person. That is his shackle in the drama. He believe in fair justice. One of the villain mock him for it. He left wuxia word to become royal guard because he believe in fair justice. That prevent him from killing people he hate without verdict from the top. His believe is cracking in episode 8.
