ikr, for crime, dramas i usually trust douban ratings. Hopefully douban antis will spare this one

i have posted a translation of two articles written by this author on weibo in the recent discussions board (i think you cannot view the mdl discussion page in your app, try the mdl web version). Its the top one

Its a feature in the tencent video app in china. The production team can pay tencent (some huge money) to have a fixed screen. Imagine as soon as you open the app, you see a huge poster of the drama.

Me being an international fan can only do this much. Imagine the hours and money c-Alasos put to maintain a drama's rating. They treating us like peasents, but expect us to spend crazy money. The audacity and the entitlement of this corporate marriage alliance is madness

Up until the announcement date, XK was the first billed, purely because they need money (pre-broadcast investment). His name was quite literally exploited to get investment and discarded like trash after they got enough funds. Fans are laughing at the crew for their audacity.
This might not be a concern for casual fans, international fans. But it is a deal for long-term fans, data fans who spend literally hours and hours and hours doing data, publicity spending sooooo much money. Just for everything to go down the drain.
Last week from thursday to sunday, i myself spent 7 hours each day doing data and pushin for 800m. We are willing to do anything for 800m and Fire chase. But not to benifit people who treat fans and actors like shit

That XK-TSY marriage industry is so scary 😭

kinda. adopted legally by gao ying's parents

That's also true. He is a drug dealer, he ruined other people, other familes, himself and his own family.

Some points
His love-obsessed nature is defo inherited from his dad. His dad still cares about the ex-fiance who died 25 years ago.

For anyone wondering, cough syrup drug was only identified as a prescription drug in 1998. So when hui and songge started this whole thing in 1992-1993 the legal implications were not severe and the risk is low. They probably got tricked by the hong kong boss and got into business. They were probably planning to stop once they get the money but they could not. Hui might have thought that he would go to jail for a couple of years and songge could get the transplant. Then after he gets out of jail and songge recovers in the meantime, they can be together. But fate has other plans.

Im really interested in ding yue's past- so far she's one of the few decent characters in this show, but i think she has something going on too (just a wild guess).

6 episodes in and chen hui is slowly going mad, psychologically affected, and this effect tends to be worse since he's originally a good person. It will consume him little by little.

Dad is a bit self-centered. He cares too much about being a righteous police officer. In the previews for the next episode, he says that he never cleaned hui when hui was little. I guess the dad not being involved in hui's life, dad's feeling's for. gao ying and dad's treatment of his mom-makes chen hui care more and more about songge. Growing up he probably relied a lot on songge to escape the family issues being emotionally dependant. although the fam looks peaceful, cracks will only get bigger from now on

I doubt she can donate especially since she sick. I dont know if she qualifies

i saw this theory on douban too

i feel like he's already spiralling mentally. In ep 6, look at his facial expressions in the taxi with huo kaiming. When one has always been good and then falls into some shit, they become stressed, which affects their psychology. XK's acting was too good

songge- they have mentioned it quite a few time.
grandpa- in the clips i saw, someone dies and chen hui and dad is kneeling (has to be an elder)

God forbid oh my

The first picture is the upcoming drama list (with SOTB) the second pic is the ongoing, completed drama with (with 800)

He probably sees this as another hurdle he has to overcome. Cent is not easy you have to compromise alot if you wanna survive. Those 4 months will feel like 10 years 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 why is the time so slow. There will always be a sunny lovely day after a storm 😎

notice how he himself posted on the trailer today on weibo, while other cast members posted more. Funny enough even with fans boycotting, his character is the most popular in the drama, his charisma is unmatched

Datawin upcoming shows- 20.4.2026

Spring of the Blade ranks 3rd , which Xu Kai's character accounting for the majority (41%).

And now they are buying trending topics on weibo questing his ability to carry a drama. Mind you they are questing 800m which is a special suspense drama that needs time, with zero promotion, zero trending topics on opening day, zero fixed screen, zero column. Alasos are carrying the drama on their backs so hard. YOC prod team is utterly shameless

is it the one that the girl sings?
