Blades SoSo

That's what I mean. He looks gorgeous as always. At least at the beginning, his hair looks great. Later, in the monkey costume, not so much. Was that filmed after he got wet?

I'm waiting to watch the entire ep once English subs are added.

One example:
"The makeup and hair were done by a different stylist, it's terrible! The makeup and hairstyle were both bad, and they didn't even touch up the makeup during filming. What's the difference between this and going for bare-faced makeup?!"

For some reason, I'm unable to view the Weibo images. Why are people complaining about his makeup?

Xu Kai's dramas don't get the unending, excessive marketing coverage (looking at you, PoB), but they endure.

Was he really different? Once he became leader, he worked with the immortals and wanted his people to do good deeds. Being possessed by a sword does not make him a different person. And that didn’t happen (I think) until he brought back the Liuhe sword for Lu Zhaoyao.

Agree to disagree.🤝

Different phases in his life, but the same character.

I think she shared more scenes with Book Boy's actor than with Xu Kai.

Perfect description!💯

I don't think we misunderstood. The reply was just going in another direction.

Wang Yizhe handled two very different roles quite well. I loved one character and loathed the other. I remember him well in A Journey to Love (still can't watch the last episode🥺).

Both are repped by Huanyu. But this time Yu Zheng had no control over Eight Hundred and couldn't drop in his talent. Or make any deals.

They dragged their feet in some sections (see incense competition) of the drama but rushed through the ML's story, especially at the end.

I don't think there were any complaints over Tian Xiwei's screentime.

They couldn't learn their lesson from Moonlit Reunion as SotB wrapped before MR was released.

Plus it would be comforting for Xu Kai to have a friend on set with him.

Not even sudden loud noises. The agony he goes through waiting for balloons to pop.

I was surprised his fans made him release all those balloons at his Tiandu wrap party. I mean, the odds are pretty good at least one will pop.🙀

Why scare the guy you admire?

There's a chart of Xu Kai's roles where people can rank his characters.

My question: Are Mo Qing and Li Chenlan considered two separate characters? Isn't Mo Qing just a nickname Lu Zhaoyao gave him? He does taken over by a demonic force but that comes and goes.

There are times when Xu Kai doesn't appear at all fazed by the NPCs. He walked past one to get the towel. It does seem he needs time to adjust.

The way he moved through the "dryer" was masterful!

This adventure reminds me of Xu Kai's appearance on Laugh Together last year. He played the thief and was caught quickly. If he's a bad guy this time around, he's doing a more convincing job.

And the loyal but put-on friend in She and Her Perfect Husband.

I've wondered if Xu Kai suggested him for a role in Eight Hundred.
