I will do a rewatch once all episodes are out on Viki.

Have you read Malicious Empress novel?
If not, start with it. If it is adapted correctly, The Double would not stand a chance. Both were written by the same author.

You definitely need to watch that drama.

Four dramas. ALP, FIYS, WOL, and ABAY. All hit dramas.

I want to start a petition to have Gao Han star in all Xu Kai dramas 😂

White Olive Tree novel was written by the same author who wrote As Beautiful As Beijing, which this drama is based on. I'm very excited for that drama.

It's sooo good. Another very satisfying ending. Definitely check it out.

41 is the last episode.

I have read way too many rebirth novels and I never got bored of it. It looks like my type.

My reason for holding off on it was same as TPR, SML getting a lot of prominence over ML. Also I read that it was overrated and is not as good as it was hyped. But I guess it is my type and I would enjoy it.

I would have watched it when it was airing, but WOL was airing at the same time. I can't enjoy two dramas at the same time, so I made a choice to watch WOL first and then watch SOKP later. I even downloaded all the episodes, they are still on my phone, waiting for me to grace them. 🤣

Thank you for your recommendations. Will definitely check them out.

I actually care more about the ending rather than how it started. So if the last 10 episodes did it for you, I am getting more excited to start it sooner rather than later. Thanks!

I have been holding off on SOKP too. I downloaded the whole drama from mkvdrama to watch it, but I heard about it being too hyped, but it's not as good as it was hyped. I will definitely get to watching it soon though.

Regarding TPR, my hesitation was because, as per comments, SML got way too much screentime.

Been wanting to read this novel for a while: https://wordrain69.com/manga/reborn-lady/

I actually started reading it 2 days before ABAY premiered. I had to put it hold because I was too immersed in ABAY and couldn't focus on anything else. 😅

It seems you are not getting what we are saying. You obviously need a better reading comprehension. It's better not to engage with you further on this topic.

I'm in the same limbo.
I was actually planning to watch The Princess Royal next, but the comments on the drama page (I've looked at them on the day express package of that drama dropped) discouraged me greatly.

I hate love triangles with so much passion, but I can tolerate it if the drama is good enough. But I don't think I will appreciate SML getting more prominence over the ML. So, yeah, I don't think I will watch it anytime soon.

Planning to start reading a Chinese novel soon... Also planning to re-read As Beautiful As Beijing in a couple of months.

Well, we are not discussing about fans attacking. We are discussing about fans rating it high and haters rating it down.
I have given you my pov about it.

Fans attacking those who criticize their stars is something that is a given, and I agree it happens everywhere. The question is, why is it that only this drama targeted like no other?

Again, bro, I was not talking about you. You called me an avid fan of Xu Kai. I said I'm not and explained my side. Read my message again.
I'm a Xu Kai fan, yes, but not an avid fan as you claim.

Bro, read my message again. I'm talking about myself, not you.

Also, rich of you to assume that I'm an avid fan. If I am, I would watch and rate every single Xu Kai drama. Go through my list though, there's a bunch of Xu Kai dramas missing there.. know why? I didn't watch them because I didn't like how they started. I also didn't rate them or cancelled my rating since I'm dropping the dramas early.

I also had my fair share of criticisms on this drama, which I have addressed in the comments I posted all these days. I'm still giving it a 10 because, despite the flaws, I greatly enjoyed the drama.

I'm either a no ratings or a 10 ratings kind of guy. Very rarely I rate a drama down (for example The Double, the ending pissed me off, so I rated it down to 8 from 10), and this applies to non-Xu Kai dramas too.

Yeah, I happen to be online to respond to your post. You were also quick to respond to my reply.

My point is as before, all dramas here get high ratings on opening day.. that's basically a standard practice.. blame MDL for encouraging it, not me nor the fans who will obviously rate it higher for their faves.. at least they are doing it with good intentions. They also have the choice to change their ratings later. Haters, however, are only here for malicious intentions. And they ain't changing their ratings. They also create multiple puppet accounts to do more damage. That's pathetic and sad on their part.
And for some reason, they ain't doing these things on other highly rated drama pages, ask them why is that so. But yeah, defend their actions to your content.
