I want to know how they trained the 'real' alpaca to sit so calmly while our ML nattered on about his feelings...

I

Maybe a River Runs Through It. It's a smaller group of friends but IMO it has a similar set up. This is the English title. I believe the Chinese title is Shang You.

I think he has some empathy but he has poor social skills. You can see that in the way he interacts with his 'friends' at the beginning of the first episode. Hopefully that will improve as the episodes go on.

It's fairly obvious even from the first episode that he's not very comfortable with small talk and casual social interactions. That might make him seem like a jerk since he just says what he things.

I think it's one of those things the viewer has to actually think through. A lot of people want a shallow script that's easy to digest instead of one that makes you consider how actions and interactions affect the characters.

I'm surprised the rating has dropped. I've enjoyed the episodes I watched.

I'm an old lady but I love this program! Even with all the fighting and bad guys, it still manages to put out a positive message.

I really like "Hi Venus". It's a cute story and the relationship between the main characters is healthy. It's not perfect, but it's fun to watch.

I thought he did okay in A League of Nobleman but he still was a bit awkward compared the Jing Bo Ran.

I hope the contemporary drama he's filming with Angel Zhao turns out to be a good series. Contemporary series are more my style. He looks good in all of their publicity stills but that doesn't guarantee that the script will be well done.

Song Wei Long is a fine looking man, and his acting has improved a lot over the last few years. To me he's gotten better at those micro-expressions...he's using those gorgeous eyes to their full advantage. I hope he can continue to get parts that show more of his skill.

I watched the first episode and came away with mixed feelings. The story premise is interesting, and I think the acting is good enough to keep my interest. However, I find the costumes to be a distraction, especially the ML's headband, and some of the special effects aren't the best. (If the ML really grabbed the FL with his whip like that, wouldn't she bleed at least a little bit?) At least the FL isn't wearing a lot of make up in her position as the 'young master', so they've toned down her beauty, but she seems to be petite and slender to the point that I can't imagine anyone actually believing that she's a man. Anyway, I'll probably watch a few more episodes to see if I can get used to the stuff that bugged me in episode one. From what I've read in this section, it gets better, right?

Guardians of the Dafeng

WRC was the lead in "Fall in Love" and Miles Wei was a secondary character. Since then Miles Wei has been in a lot of different things as the ML. IMO he's not as versatile an actor as WRC, so what's the difference? I'd say it'd probably be the agency the actors work for. Just a thought...

He's still a young man, and it seems like he's intelligent and talented in a lot of different areas. I suppose it's possible that he's decided that he doesn't want to spend all of his time being an actor. Maybe he wants to take a different direction in life. I think that'd be disappointing for those of us who like him as an actor, but honestly, I could see that happening.

He looks really good in that dark blue outfit, doesn't he?

If he hasn't changed agencies, in my opinion, he needs to do so. I think he has a lot of talent but it seems like whoever is the agency in charge of finding parts for him isn't doing a very good job.
