what does green flag even mean here?

Is anyone disappointed that his next work will be a romance movie? I don't have a problem with it being a movie but romance movies are very hard to sell unless it has something amazing that could be promoted/attract audiences which I don't see it by looking at the novel description. There are plenty of romance content easily accessible, movies should provide an experience that's not available on web then only audience have a reason to go to theaters. I follow box office from time to time, It has become very rare for romance based movies to do well at the box office

typecasted in too many average to below average dramas

not yesterday, today it did

It's douban rating will likely be higher than mdl rating 😄

The heat index in this case refers to the level of user interaction with a drama. The more users engage with it by watching clips and trailers, liking, commenting, or streaming full episodes the higher the heat index will rise. The increase depends on how many members of the platform are actively interacting with the drama at a given time. Since Tencent has a much larger user base compared to other platforms, it has a higher potential ceiling for the heat index. For dramas that are also airing on TV or cable, web platform ratings are somewhat less significant, as traditional TV and cable ratings are also major factors in measuring overall performance.

I have not read the novel myself, I only took a sneak peek into the last chapter of the novel to see the ending

novel has happy ending

subplot

I don't think so as its not a romance idol drama

I'm with you, I feel like characters are too isolated in modern society so they had to come with super convenient ways to set up main characters and develop a romance which feels unnatural compared to the older times

This is not an idol drama lol, It requires proven acting ability for main characters. Most of them have or had to start in support roles and if they prove their ability, they will be upgraded to sfl or even the main fl in future

Getting good vibes with this, lets hope for a good drama which will also be very successful

yes

Very high chance that both of his remaining dramas(excluding Immortality) will air back to back in next few months which is good but since he has not started any drama shooting, there will be a drought for some time

what does equal footing here even mean?

Wasn’t this originally announced as a male centric drama with him top billed, or am I remembering it wrong?

Cdramas are kind of a similar path as kdramas regarding romance idol dramas but the non romance kdramas are way better

Everything you said is incorrect. His non idol dramas are exactly why he has reached his current position and secured his future in the industry. They’ve proven that he can handle a wide range of roles and still succeed. He’s already ahead of many idol actors who continue doing idol dramas well into their 30s. It’s only a matter of time before those actors are replaced by younger faces, whereas Bai’s influence and career won’t be affected by age. He’s built popularity and credibility with the general audience, not by relying on romance idol dramas targeted at teenage girls.
