My god, 9.2, getting huge popularity in China, this came out of nowhere!
Just found about this on weibo, need to start this.

It was a very good show and equally painful to watch.
Loved Ching Hua and Moon Lee's acting.

It was decent enough, but was waste of the time. (Weird proposition right?)
Because this drama was weird as well, So many weird things happened, weird choices has been made, which doesn't made sense at all. And the closure of the series... let's not talk about this.

Loved the performance of Lee Joong Gi, Byeon Si Wan, Byeon Sik and Soe Dol and few more, you could say I've finished this drama because of them, because of the comedic nature of this show.

What a clown mc (18th epis)

What an actor, loved his acting in Iljimae.
Now my excitement for this show is through the roof.

damn 7th episode...he better take revenge

What a stupid character this mc has. Lamentable

First two episodes were too heavy.
It must have some satisfying revenge else I'll be too disappointed

too much wierd scenes

I dropped this after 9. There’s something wrong with either the dramas or me, they just aren’t piquing my interest anymore.
If this was 2023, I might have loved it, or atleast finished it.

This new rumoured project of his is super good.
I am currently watching the donghua, hope he takes it, the team is good too.
Synopsis of the show is quite incomplete so I am pasting donghua's:

Facing the threat of the Qin State, danger seems to lurk within the Han State, which is known as the weakest out of the Seven States. Unknown to the Han Emperor, that very threat is the Great General of Han, Ji Wuye. Working under the Great General are the Four Fearful Warriors of Nightfall.

Each four specialized in military, finance, politics, and espionage. In hopes of creating a new Han State, Quicksand was formed by Han Fei, the ninth prince of the Han. With Wei Zhuang, Zhang Liang, Zinü, and Nong Yu, they support the Prince in realizing the goal of Quicksand while being drawn into a whirlpool of power named “world”.

@jarum and all the normal people

Actually, there are a few brainless idiots who think the whole c-entertainment industry revolves around just one particular actor, Xu Kai, that no one is more popular or handsome than him, and whatnot.
This page has over 7k comments, I bet 70–80% are filled with forced toxic controversies.
And how can you forget their classic moves? Whoever says something that doesn’t sugarcoat Xu Kai is called a hater. Even if you just started watching dramas yesterday or don’t know much about entertainment and how to consume it, they’ll still tag you as a hater. Trust me, I’ve been following this page since march 2022 it’s pretty normal.

Why are you appreciating, though.
Are you his manager or from the PR team?
Do you need me to sugar coat him?

that's not what I was talking about

Anyways, he has some amazing projects coming up. Look forward to it everyone.

Definitely Bai Lu. She has way more brand endorsements, her dramas are doing well, and one important point is that she’s usually the top-billed actor. That’s a big deal in China, and carrying a drama as the lead takes real effort. She’s also landing some major projects lately.
Xu Kai is popular too, and his dramas perform decently most of the time. But considering his talent and the heights he reached before, he really needs to step up his game.

It might be possible, this pair will be insane, doesn't matter whether their fans will like this cooperation or not, this will get way too much hype, and I think Yu Zheng is crazy enough to pull off this. But the main issue would be actors themselves, and both of them are popular enough to not get pressurized by studio, Bai Lu is doing tremendous job as an actor, I mean look at her career, she keeps getting main role, top billing, and all of her dramas are performing well in terms of popularity, I don't know about quality, but who cares as long as you can make money.

There’s something horribly wrong with this show. The scenes that are supposed to feel touching or comedic feel cringe. And is Won Jin Na really the main fl? She barely appears in 9 episodes.

for ex: ji sung and reporter's interaction in 9th episode.
The way both ml and his friend interacts with that young girl.

I have yet to finish 9th episode, I just watch 5-10 minutes while eating that's it.
This might sound that I am over exaggerating the things or criticising this show way too much, but honestly this what I really feel, I don't know whether this is just me...

I didn't read the whole comment, but what I can tell after reading the first few lines that you are curious that other actors take some time to practice their moves, action scenes and all, then why not xu kai?
The answer is simple, in terms of martial arts and action scenes he is already skilled and capable.

This drama is decent, but there is no emotions in it, I can't feel for any victims, main characters or villains, it's just... happening but nothing feels at all, and there are plenty of reasons for that.
