Draco

Thank you so it's sword and fairy, the title makes it distinguishable from the other Chinese paladin ^^

Not sure why you're bringing xukai into this discussion. Also complain about his dramas when I been watching many of his dramas and find they're to my taste and not bad as you claimed. This also accounts for taste. Also just watching the preview of this drama does gives me a few this drama is gear towards younger audience and might not appeal to older audience compare to alp which is my favorite xanxia. Also depends on the story, if the characters are young and they're playing by young actors then they're age appropriate, it's those who are older that play younger characters that are problematic since they're too old to play the characters. Anyway dramas are mean to enjoy, if it's not something you like just drop it.

Congratulations to xukai and yang zi and the entire casts ^^

Is there a trailer for this drama yet, and is the title sword and fairy 6 or chinese paladin 6?

Very good point I feel the same, that's why I like their relationship so much, it's only through hardships that you can truly test how strong their feelings for each other is ^^

I like the new poster really showcase the family theme ^^

Was rewatching on viki and someone comment that ml was just as manipulative for using fl to coerce her father to fight against the rebels with his army but no one said anything against him, but only complaining about fl. I think this is usually the case, fl is hated more because most of those who watch dramas are females. I didn't see anything wrong with what ml was doing and thought he was clever to blackmail her father in order to get his help. He's a commander and knows how to use tactics and tricks just the same as cuilin to get an advantage for his army. Ep 17 is so sweet when lini sang to cuilin and they exchange love tokens, I really like this drama for giving main leads so much screen times and highlight their relationship because it feels real and connect the audiences. I thought I like ep 10, but ep 17 is just as sweet, their relationship can be describes as sour and sweet is so true because one moment they're fighting with each other, the next moment they made up and are sweet to each other again lol ^^

His dramas are not as popular compared to those other actors/actresses. It could be just a popularity thing. Wang hedi gotten very popular after fairy and devil, so my guess it has to do with popularity. I'm not that concerned with it though since I never been concerned about popularity of a drama or actor I usually enjoy dramas for the storyline and I don't care who the actors/actresses are until I started to like xukai and follow his dramas.

I don't know that much about the vip star award and who should be getting it either, I know there're some people who gotten it and I assume it's because they're popular actors. Xukai got branded as tencent ambassador this year, and I don't know what's the difference between those two either.

What do you mean since they both got awarded together?

We're talking about overseas fans and he has loyal fans for many years starting with story of yanxi palace. Sel might not done well in china market, but we don't know how it was received oversea just like falling into your smile and ancient love poetry got lots of love overseas, and it wasn't flop in that his character was great as always and he was acknowledged for his handling of the spear, plus the CP also has good chemistry. There were some badmouthing the two main characters and the CGI when it just started, and that might have scared many watchers away, I watched it all and thought it wasn't as bad as some made it out to be, and I appreciate him doing most of the fight himself. For wol it was #1 on tencent in Indonesia and maybe other countries too, so it's not wrong to say he's one of the most popular actors overseas right now. Journey to you and kunning palace are not tencent dramas or till the end of the moon, so they're not counted since this is tencent all stars events that why they were not invited. If you check on mdl, xukai has more hearts than those two other actors that you mention. This is what is mean by having overseas popularity.

Congratulations to xukai and jingtian ^^

I didn't watch on wetv, so can't help you but I think for most sites you have to make an account with them to rate their dramas.

Congratulations xukai. I'm so happy for him especially for being awarded the most popular overseas actor of the year as an international fan. He deserves all the love and recognition ^^

I haven't gotten that far in the drama and I think her character is much more than see the eye, she's very smart and she knows how to use it to her advantage in the way she tries to get on Lini's good side by sewing him something for his mother or locate his nurse something that he can't refuse so he owe her a favor. I can't tell whether she will stay good and just a love rival to cuilin or will she turns bad for not getting his affection, or is it all an act and she has other ulterior motive.

So this drama will also be air on iquyi beside tencent, and also has a TV broadcast?

I think her character was necessary to make a comparison to cuilin. She's totally opposite to how cuilin is, a gentle girl who's well manners with many womanly skills that are expected to be know by respectable women at that time. With such contrast, and the way she treats lini compare to cuilin shows how different they're, and it didn't make a difference since lini said to general pei junior beauty is in the eye of the beholder, for him cuilin not knowing any womanly skills doesn't matter because what he's attracted to is what she gives him a challenge and someone who can compete with him on a battlefield.

For lini I think he let her win in the open in order to negotiate with her in private to help him rescue his father. To him the food situation is not as important as getting the cuilin's army help because the way both of their armies were fighting over the food provision, they will never agree on who will get it. That why he went in private to talk to cuilin and later to the fake cuilin, knowing they will likely agree to it since they got an advantage in their earlier negotiation. In my opinion lini is just as sneaky, he pretends to let her win, but later he was able to procure her agreement to rescue his father, as well as getting her army help to conquer a city. I think if he didn't let her win in their first negotiation, it would be much harder to negotiate with her and the fake cuilin, so it's a strategic loss.

Just like I like to see ml character with shade of gray, I also like fl the same, someone who's supposed to be a good person but also can use dirty tactics that's why I don't see what she did was wrong because it's not out of character for her to lie since from the beginning she was never written to be a person who do things honestly from her weapons, to her sneaky attacks when she was fighting ml. I'm not sure what people are expecting from her character because I just see someone who will use whatever means to win even lie to get her way. Lini from the first called fl devious and mean, that's why he always has his guard up around her, maybe I have seen that behaviors by fl before in other dramas, that's why it's not that surprising to me for her to do something underhanded. I even like those fl for being unconventional. I'm fine with fl using tricks to get her ways as long as she does it in the open, what I don't like is the one who pretend to be a good girl and hides a devious heart, the one that does things in secrets those are the one ml should looks out for.

Agree, this is the first time I'm seeing all three of his dramas rumor to air in early 2024, what happens after we will have a long wait for his new dramas.
