Im actually happy the angst is earlier and not like 1 epi before the penultimate. And ofcz express saves the day.…
Yeah fair. It also depends how they handle the angst ark, in this case we all knew it was inevitable, and I hope they offer a mature resolution all things considered.
Express means paying extra to watch episodes earlier than the regular release schedule. Instead of waiting for episodes to drop day by day, viewers can unlock future episodes in advance. So they make available the last 4-6 episodes for additional payment, or in Iqiyi's case you need to be a premium VIP member to have access to that.
I get where youâre coming from. Everyone has their own aesthetic palette, and that initial visual harmony (or…
Yeah, I can totally see that in My Boss - ZRNs character was a bit too much (she is more suited for more serious roles like the one in TFF). I actually enjoyed their interaction more in the behind-the-scenes, the chemistry was so much better đ I tried watching Our interpreter but couldn't get into it. Loved CXX in Fall in Love and Starry Love, although his styling in Starry Love could have been better, still, love that drama a lot.
LYX has rapidly become one of my favourites, loved her in everything I've seen her so far ( except Serendipity - couldn't get into that one unfortunately).
where do you guys usually watch? i use viki this is my first time hearing about express, do you know if it would…
Express is usually offered by the original Chinese platforms (iQIYI, WeTV/Tencent, Youku, MGTV), which control early-access releases. (LBL should have the express release on IQIYI tomorrow).
Viki licenses the drama from these platforms for international streaming, and it doesnât offer any express packages, they follow a standard release schedule (generally later than on the original platforms) instead of early unlocks.
He does come across as more mature than many men his ageâmaybe itâs the voice, the demeanour, or just the overall presence. I really like that about him. But heâs also someone who grew on me over time, which is probably why I understand the initial hesitation some viewers have. And yesâabsolutely agree, it really is in the eye of the beholder.

Thatâs totally fair, especially for a romance. If the visual or emotional pairing doesnât click early on, itâs really hard to stay invested no matter how good the story is. For me, his visuals fall more into the character and presence category rather than conventional, polished perfection. He has a slightly mature, lived-in look that really depends on styling, role, and how the camera uses him. I didnât click with his visuals immediately either, but over time I started appreciating the expressiveness and the way his face carries emotion. I will say, with this one, the dynamic shifts a bit as the episodes go on and the chemistry becomes more about rhythm and comfort than instant sparkâbut if it still doesnât land for you, thatâs completely valid. Not every flavour is meant to work for everyone, and romance dramas live or die on that connection.

If Iâd seen him first in the republican drama with Zhang Jing Yiâthe one where he completely won me overâIâd probably feel exactly the same way. First impressions really do a lot of heavy lifting.
And I agree, he clearly has that kind of star quality that goes beyond âperfect visuals.â My reply was more to the OPâs point, because I understand the dilemmaâsometimes a pairing clicks instantly, and sometimes you need to sit with the flavour a bit longer. And sometimes⊠itâs just not your cup of tea, and thatâs perfectly fine too.

I can't say I noticed the wrinkles tbh, even if there are some it's completely normal for an expressive and smiling person.
