Don't forget to watch the scenes after the final episode's credits.

Still an 8.3 after dropping it?

Xu Kai started acting for his family's financial security. I'm guessing he's saved enough to take care of them so he's now able to focus on his career instead of churning out costume dramas where he appears rarely.

I don't watch modern Chinese dramas very often, but I will always watch whatever Xu Kai appears in.

I don't know about other countries, but FIYS is the only Xu Kai drama on Netflix U.S., which helps give it that international boost. It's cute and Xu Kai's charisma is on full display, but it doesn't really showcase his acting abilities.

I don't know when I would have discovered Xu Kai if it hadn't been for Netflix running Once Upon a Time in Lingjian Mountain a few years ago.

Thank you, Netflix!

Xu Kai👍😃

I just finished Zhan Zhao Adventures. Luckily I found out it has an extra scene after the final credits.

Thanks!

I'm new to this. Do actors often write farewells to their characters? I find it rather sweet.

Moonlit Reunion does not have a "bad ending, whatever that is supposed to mean. Just don't forget to watch the scenes following the closing credits.

I would love a second season!

Once Mei Zhuyu admitted his love for Wu Zhen, the floodgates that had so carefully controlled his emotions and ability to experience life were destroyed. Even before that, it became apparent that her life was more important than his lifelong desire for revenge.

After confessing his feelings, he told (actually, it was a warning) her she could never abandon him.

Finding out what was wrong with Wu Zhen and helping her was certainly worth risking a demon's life. He did risk his own life for her more than once.

So, no, there was no sudden heel turn in Mei Zhuyu's character. It was bottled up and kept under control until she introduced him to "this messy life."

I misspoke." I should have said licensing. Wouldn't the NRTA assess the dubbing before granting a license?

By credit I'm referring to Eight Hundred's (and Xu Kai's) success, not photo credit.

Now with English subs!!!

I meant, why is Huanyu supplying photos taken on the set of Eight Hundred? Except for repping Xu Kai, they were not involved and gave their artist very little promotional support.

It rubs me the wrong way, like they're trying to garner some unearned credit.

Xu Kai runs a lost and found stand during the Vogue Vacation event.

Yes. I noted that further up in the comments. Ao Ruipeng, for one.

A very recent interview. Not sure why Huanyu is providing a still from Eight Hundred.

So post-production doesn’t have to be completed before seeking and receiving certification?

Not happy about the fact that Ao Rui Peng wore the same suit and shirt to an event in April.

Of course, it looks better on KaiKai.

To me it looks like the tradition of saving the best - and most popular - for last.

Look at the actresses who followed him.

The big finale, as it were.
