I think we need to remember TTEOTM was a victim of the new 40 episode ruling. The Youku team had to slash it down from the original 56 episodes to 40 episodes. Please cut TTEOTM some slack also.
I heard Luo Yunxi was the third choice for ml for TTEOTM but honestly I can't see Tantai jin someone else other…
Youku is a big organisation. It could be Youku Boss A preferring Actor X and Youku Boss B preferring Actor Y etc for a role. I am guessing that perhaps rumours come about if a magazine got a quote from Youku Boss A who said Actor X is being considered at that point in time and the magazine prints it. But in the end the based on Youku's selection process, their board probably decided that LYX is the best bet for successful shows and offered him the scripts to choose
We will not know what are Youku's criteria on actor selection for the various main roles that they have. But whatever it is, just glad that the drama series gods shone brightly on LYX and we've got him as our TTJ, that is all that matters. :)
Interesting to note that though it is nice to be the first choice, many actors who were not first choice turned out to be the best choice.
I remember Chris Hemsworth was not the first choice to play Thor. Marvel team wanted to give that role to Daniel Craig. But so glad the role went to Chris Hemsworth in the end as I cannot imagine Daniel Craig as Thor. LOL And Daniel Criag was also not the first choice to play James Bond, Wolverine Hugh Jackman was the first choice for Bond. Keanu Reeves was also not the first choice for Neo in the Matrix, he was the 6th choice, but as we can see now, the best choice to play Neo. Will Smith was then the first choice for the role of Neo, but he turned it down. I think everything worked out for the best in the end for everyone. Both the audience and the actors.
Let's not bother too much if LYX is the first choice, second choice or etc choice. Great if he is the first choice, but most importantly LYX is the BEST choice for the role of TTJ. 😁🙂
They can make more by giving us the extra happy ending….
Ikr. Now just hope they can feel the collective disappointment from the fans and do something about it i.e. release the special episodes or better still give us a part 2 to wrap up everyone's stories.
Youku released the list of achievements of TTEOTM. This acc the main points here ( coz it's a long list). Sharing…
I think the results would be been even better if they concluded the show with the novel HE or at the very least an ending similar to The Untamed. The ratings here went down a bit after the last episode as folks were disappointed and not to mention traumatised. So I am guessing for Youku, ratings could be affected by the disappointment regarding the conclusion. 😅😅
But despite it all, this is really good results considering they slashed away so much to make it a 40 episode series. Now just praying and hoping for a special episode or two to tie up the loose ends.
😍😍😍😍😍 LIS must be more popular now than when it originally aired. https://twitter.com/harrywithdreams/status/1656717193197891585?s=46&t=9qEP2cRBOHEHRmcjHx_vQw
As long as he is healthy. Does not matter that he is considered slim. He is so elegant and poised. Especially perfect for costume shows when he "flies" down or strikes a pose with his weapon. A treat for our eyes.
Dang LYX, you are super fine. 😍😍
Can you imagine if he has a concert in China and all restrictions are removed for international travellers? I think we will all swamp there to the concert and be like those 2 gals in that recent twitter shot who were looking at him in awe. We will do our best not to drool and nose bleed when there too......ahahhaahh.
No matter how many times I watch this video, LYX's reaction makes me laugh so much 🤣
I am so amused as I imagine that it is TTJ after his court session being tough as nails with his ministers and then in the privacy of his rooms, playing his horror computer games and screaming his lungs out. LSS will probably come in and smack him. 😂😂😂
I was just thinking that if CDL managed to get us to hate her on screen character so much, she is a brilliant actress! Remember how much everyone hated the GOT character Joffrey Baratheon? That was how brilliant Jack Gleeson is!
I started to try not to watch, it hurts like hell... 🥲
I must be a sucker for pain then. While receiving therapy at LIS, I could not help myself and started rewatching TTEOTM. I need to stop. Maybe read the novel instead. 😅

He is such a dream guy. So what if he is not beefed up like other actors, a kind heart is the most important thing isn't it?
And that smirk he does. *Dreamy sighs....* I go weak in the knees. SMIRK ME! 😂😂😂🤪🤪🤪
