I think the more whd is rising, the more antis he is gaining. After dafeng, he is already doing another S+ budget male centric drama so his fans are most of the time defending him as much as they can but they can't fight everyone when too many rival fds are united in hating him so you might have seen more negative things about him. However, i do believe he is still loved a lot outside of cdrama circle especially those who know him as Doaming si from meteor garden but they don't watch costume historical dramas & only idol romcom so not many are aware about it. Also alot of people in china are now catching up to this drama & apologizing for believing paid marketing accounts that he can't act. Alot of them are changing their opinion on him after watching the drama & asking for s2 so i am glad people are finally acknowledging his talent. He also trended top 1 on weibo when last few eps aired & it wasn't because of his pretty face. The top 1 hotsearch was "wang hedi acting being good" & everyone was praising him

That video has been reported by fans for lying & clickbaiting. There are many channels who also lie that wang hedi is married & have kids which is false. Youtube is the last place i go for honest reporting because these channels spread such narratives without any source. You can check @cdramacharts on x for valid reporting with source. They post about views, social media hype & tv ratings in china. Also most international audience only care for idol romcoms so it won't generate same level of hype internationally as something like the first frost which did okay/decent in china but more popular internationally. In china, top dramas are mostly male centric dramas or thriller this year like under the skin, drifting away, Guardians of the dafeng & legend of zanghai. I cannot share images here otherwise i can show you list of top 10 dramas in china which i have taken directly from chinese platforms like yunhe for checking their views

Ohh that's good to know. I like their dynamic so far so maybe i will try the novel if i end up loving this a lot & want more

Okay I binged watched from ep 4-8 today so dumping all my thoughts:
Firstly, i am actually loving the cute & bubbly personality of He Yan. Idk how she is in novel but i think her being funny & ml being serious makes their dynamic more interesting & i am invested to see how their relationship will develop. I really liked that lantern scene & so far i am surprisingly never bored which is a good thing. There are some flaws which i mentioned previously & story is nothing too groundbreaking but i am entertained

If this drama doesn't do it for me then i will check the novel someday :)

Thank you for detailed response. Also i wanted to ask how she joined the army in previous life? Like didn't they body screened her?

That's the best strategy to enjoy cdramas. Don't question the logic & enjoy the ride because most of the times drama teams had to make changes to pass censorship etc so i understand if it doesn't come across well detailed

Maybe it will get more serious later on.

Too much suspension of disbelief especially the fact that they allowed her to wore the mask & didn't question her identity like for all we know it can be enemy soldier in disguise, plus the switch with the brother & no one noticed that height & voice difference is kinda absurd. But i will say so far 3 ep s in & it's an entertaining watch if i switch off my brain & don't question the logic. I was expecting darker tone but it's surprisingly more lighthearted tone so far & eps went by quickly & i am not bored

Nope she isn't. Only the mc

Yes

She is more like an ex from what i know. The drama has many unofficial cps but no official cp at the end. You can ship anyone with whoever you want & there is bromance too

Last few eps made me cry so much. This has very relateable portrayal of family dynamics. A masterpiece in my eyes

Ohh new pfp finally

It's the most watched drama of 2025 with over 2 billion views 😂

I agree & most whd fans love both lin an & xqa

Nahh her screentime is equal to minor character. I love her & if you enjoy the mc then she is kinda female version of him. I always tell people to try it yourself. She only appears at the end of ep 5-6 & present for 5-10 mins in some eps & not even present for last 10 eps much. The drama is not romance heavy & has much more to offer so it will be a shame to not try this because of haters

Haven't watched the kdrama version but this was amazing. Enjoyed it a lot from start to finish

End of Sept i think

Yess it's soo good. I am loving MMH Japan alot
