The first drama Xu Kai dubbed himself was She and Her Perfect Husband, if I'm not wrong. He is also dubbing himself for his upcoming modern dramas, As Beautiful As Beijing and Best Choice Ever.
I am also confused. Iqiyi Malaysia is also airing SAF6🤣
😬 Why can't Tencent let Iqiyi broadcast some of its dramas in India. Tencent/WeTV is obviously banned here and we can't access their VIP content, and although Viki is broadcasting some of WeTV content, it is often behind on the schedule. Very frustrating. Worse yet, CP6 is not on Viki.
There's a rumor that ABAY might be airing on January 30th; no idea how credible this is:https://twitter.com/tansongyun26/status/1747608396680106294
Btw, I think it might be good if both SF6 and ABAY air together. I don't think there will be any CP wars. Those who like SF6 will probably be more focused on warring with SF4 fans. I can already see the sparks flying there.
Xu Kai is going on Hello Saturday 31st Jun but its for his another drama ABAY. Don’t know if he will promote…
I think he might promote both the dramas there. ABAY specifically because Seven Tan is also going that day. High chances that it's going to be released soon as well.
I was just going through Novel Updates -- a site to browse all Asian novels that are translated -- Of thousands of c-novels in straight romance (I'm saying straight romance because there are also BL and GL romances), there are hardly 20 novels that have rating 4.7/5 or higher. As Beautiful As Beijing is one of them. Another interesting fact is that none of those that are rated 4.7 or higher are CEO novels, the only exception being As Beautiful As Beijing. In fact, you won't find CEO novels in 4.6 or higher-rated novels either. A few can be found in 4.4 and 4.5.
This is why I say this drama's source material is so strong.
I heard rumor of cp6 airing date of Jan 18 before any announcement of cp4. Someone was telling me cp4 won't air…
After Iqiyi announces CP4 airing date, I want Tencent to pull a twist and announce ABAY to air instead lol. Then use CP4 and ABAY's popularity to announce CP6 release after they end. But I guess, Tencent may not be that smart.
Usually top actors I feel do less heated bed scenes as mentioned in the novels. In novels they describe the love…
Forget c-dramas, nowadays, even Chinese novels will have to gloss over the bed scenes because of restrictions (at least on most reputable sites, from what I gather), lol. As Beautiful As Beijing was one of last few novels that managed to escape these new restrictions.
Honestly that’s what happed to RTH. I really liked the novel but the plot was slow. I think it’s bc there’s…
Only for Love is based on Accidental Love novel. Accidental Love's author did not write As Beautiful As Beijing. But Only for Love screenwriter, Yang Qian Zi, is the screenwriter of ABAY.
I have said it before, and I will say it again, Only for Love flopped because it had a very weak source material. It didn't deserve a drama adaptation, much less have top stars like Dylan Wang and Bai Lu act in it. The screenwriter can't do much to save it, tbh.
Yang Qian Zi was also the screenwriter of The Legends (The Legends is also an adaptation of a novel called Ostentatious Zhao Yao. The author of this novel had many other novels adapted into dramas recently. Love Between Fairy And Devil, Back From The Brink, Love You Seven Times), which I happened to like a lot. It was well written, just had some editing issues in the last 4-5 episodes. Not the fault of the screenwriter. I see that the screenwriter, Yang Qian Zi, is also writing screenplay for The White Olive Tree starring Chen Zhe Yuan. This drama is also an adaptation of Jiu Yue Xi's novel of the same name. Jiu Yue Xi is the author of As Beautiful As Beijing, btw.
Awww that's harsh. He's just a young punk bumbling about in love. We've all been there 🥲
How I wish he was just a young punk. He isn't though. Although he is younger than FL and ML, he is still someone who already graduated and should be around 25 or 26 something.
I have a feeling that Tencent might be planning to release ABAY as soon as CP6 is finished airing. It could be…
I also want to watch ABAY asap! But I think it would be better if CP6 releases first. Chinese Paladin is a very big IP in China, and will bring a lot of attention to the main leads. This attention can be carry forwarded to ABAY if it releases as soon as CP6 is done airing.

Worse yet, CP6 is not on Viki.
