Spot on observation that’s the same director who’s probably largely responsible for Ryan Cheng’s success. He also helped Li Yun Rui shine, who before that was only doing supporting roles. Fingers crossed his ‘golden touch’ works again this time too.

Wondering what the hell the rules are for career upgrades in this industry. Some rookies with zero experience land ML roles in massive-budget dramas right off the bat, while others grind for years killing it in micro and mini-dramas and still can’t get those big prestigious parts. Feels like it’s all luck + connections tbh. Hoping Deng Kai pulls a Ryan Cheng-level glow-up soon. Ryan went from short dramas to legit leading man status, so why not him? I’ve got a few faves I’m rooting for hard. Like, Chen Si could at least start getting short dramas instead of being stuck in pure micro ones forever. The guy’s talent, that insane charisma and his voice? Still blows my mind every time. Come on, give them a real shot already!

I also don’t get why he only gets supporting roles and just can’t break into the top league. In terms of looks and acting skills, he outshines a lot of the main leads. Luckily, he rules in short dramas. What really captivates me about him is that he can look unbelievably hot and seductive one moment, and then kind of ugly in his own unique way the next. But no matter what, he always draws your attention.

One of my absolute favorite microdramas. It’s basically a twisted Little Red Riding Hood kind of story: except here they start seducing each other almost immediately. The seemingly innocent girl quickly wraps the dangerous wolf around her little finger; before long he’s completely eating out of her hand and getting tamed in record time. Their constant teasing and playful banter is fantastic and genuinely funny. The way they keep provoking and challenging each other makes their dynamic incredibly entertaining. The kissing scenes and romantic moments are intense, beautifully shot, and full of chemistry.
Liu Xi Yu delivers one of her best performances here. With those adorable chubby cheeks, she’s absolutely perfect for the role of a seemingly shy but actually clever and determined young girl. And Chen Si… as always, he doesn’t disappoint. In the young marshal uniform, he’s incredibly attractive. That cold, commanding aura paired with the intense way he gazes at her is simply lethal.
Part of me really hopes he’ll get the opportunity to appear in full-length dramas someday, because he clearly has the talent for bigger roles. But at the same time, I feel like we as viewers would lose something. Longer dramas tend to be much more restrained and conservative, cutting out or toning down exactly the kind of spicy, intense scenes Chen Si excels at. And here’s a slightly controversial opinion: acting in micro and short dramas is actually more demanding. The scripts are often completely over-the-top or even ridiculous and that’s precisely why it takes a truly talented and charismatic actor to turn that kind of material into a believable and memorable character. Chen Si manages to do exactly that. Highly recommended if you enjoy fast-paced microdramas with strong chemistry, playful tension, and a bit of spice.

Wait, isn't that her? https://kisskh.at/people/70245-wang-ge-ge

I watched it on Dailymotion too. To get rid of those annoying ads, I recommend installing the free uBlock Origin extension. It really works and lets you enjoy the drama without interruptions. Highly recommend!

I agree. Especially since these are personal matters and grudges that don’t actually affect other people. I come from a country where we swing to the complete opposite extreme: a public figure can basically never truly disgrace themselves and very often, scandals, controversies, or even their “moral downfall” end up bringing them financial and career gains. That said, there are offenses that fully deserve social ostracism. At the same time, I appreciate that in China there are strict laws against tax evasion, because it essentially means stealing from one’s (often much poorer) fellow citizens.

I understand. Everyone has their own preferences and triggers.

If that changes anything, ML doesn’t love her and doesn’t sleep with her.

He has a concubine, and she’s actually pretty significant to the story.

That would explain a lot. Anyway, she’s definitely an actress with real potential.

Interesting observation, I need to go back to those scenes.
I found the theme song from Infinite Cycle of Love. Looks like there weren’t any more tracks besides that one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPYe6f0Y92k&list=OLAK5uy_kk7C9lD5z76h8Z39AQPs_DyDOB_mPtrOQ

It’s a happy ending.

I read up on it some more and maybe things aren’t quite as hopeless.
He’s not officially on the black list. In January they were still airing the micro-drama Love as a Cure with him. And apparently there’s already another one planned with him.

Though maybe it’s not actually that bad, because back in January this year you could still watch Love as a Cure with him. He’s not officially on the banned list, so perhaps it’s just a temporary ban. Hope so.

I checked and unfortunately he ended up on the blacklist 😱 I'm devastated because I love him too. I really hope he'll manage to make a comeback somehow and we'll get to enjoy looking at him again.

Terrible news… He Jianqi was one of my absolute favorites in micro-dramas. Unfortunately, it’s true 😔💔He really did get added to the blacklist. I really hope he can make a comeback someday, since he’s not officially ‘permanently banned’ like some actors after political scandals.
