They have a few years difference, and I thought he look older with this hair style compare to his regular looks.

They're so cute with their height difference ^^

So you're saying Chinese viewers didn't like it? There was some problems with it but I didn't think it was as bad as you said and xukai got decent screen times compare to many of his past dramas. I assume most of those who complained were those who read novel and didn't like how drama was changed. In my opinion this drama has the most fight scenes among all xukai dramas, and it show case he has put in lots of training for it. In any case even if the drama didn't do as well as hope, the character of dongbo xue ying is still a favorite of mine.

Is this confirmed or just a rumor?

So he didn't post a goodbye post for dongbo xueying. I feel dongbo xueying is very similar to xukai's character, hardworking and strong minded. He doesn't take the easy way out, and working hard to achieve his goal. It's a strong spirited character that I heard xukai said in the past he wanted to play. Even though drama wasn't rated as well due to problems with the script, it's still a worthwhile character for him to play and experienced, and for his fans to see his training paid off in the martial art department ^^

He's recognized for his acting by his fans. I hope he will be known more by passerbys as well. I don't understand the kind of haters that go to dramas that hasn't air yet and badmouthing his acting. I hope he will have more dramas that are rate highly so those haters will not have a chance to badmouthing him.

I used to like her to, but I also don't like how her fans putting down her partners or the other actresses who are not as popular than her. No matter how you feel about the actresses/actors or their acting, I just don't like when you put down someone else to highlight another. Also my opinion she was only able to become known after she was paired with xukai in the legend, xukai on the other hand already gotten some popularity with story of yanxi palace.

I know what you meant about ester yu. For a drama to get popularity, it's usually base on CP feeling between the main leads and how many are watching the dramas. As both xukai and ester yu have huge followers, it will definitely bring in the watchers, and if the drama is good it will make them both more popular. In the past xukai dramas most of his pairing the actresses are less popular than him beside yangmi and chengxiao. However his future dramas will all be with popular actresses, so i'm not worry dramas will not do well if the main leads are talented with good production. What I'm more worry about is the plot, and how censorship can hurt the dramas and whether xukai will get good screen times. Also I would like him to develop into an actor who gets recognition for his acting rather than popularity, since popularity will fade in time.

I'm not saying he has to be like anyone else. I like him the way he's to be himself. I just saw he's participating more when he used to let others solve the puzzle and stayed behind. Since he has been in great escape for a whole season, he is more comfortable with the people there, so he's more relax. I don't think xukai like to appear on TV variety shows since he rarely appeared if it's not to promote his dramas. It's only on great escape that I saw him appear without promoting his dramas. I heard his reason for wanting to be there is to help him become more brave and facing his fear of the dark, etc. I haven't seen that ep, I'm still catching up on the old eps since I was watching on YouTube and there was no subtitle on some of the episodes.

Yes I hope the best for wonderland of love. If the plot is good, the characters are cool and the original author responsible for the screenplay and good production. Now just pray there will not be too many editing in order to fit with the new censorship...

I really like xukai acting in here, so I'm confused when you said he lack acting. This is an internal character and he showed so much love to the fl with just using his eyes. I was totally sold on this character being both innocent at the beginning to being the badass demon lord. Just sad his character was nerf so much in order to highlight the sml. Bailu character was also good however I felt her character became weaker towards the end. Drama was dragged to make it longer, it could've been a much better drama otherwise.

He doesn't relies on bailu. He has his own strength and that's comedy. However he can also do serious, heartbreaking roles. In once upon a time in lingjian mountain, he prove he didn't need an fl to hold audiences attention, he has lots of screen times in that drama, while fl only showed up from time to time. And in china that drama was rated well, it got number 1 in the top ten dramas ranking list while it was airing, so that drama proves xukai as a versatile actor, who can handle both comedy and serious dramas.

I think his pairing of seven tan and yangzi are a step in the right direction since I heard their reputation are good and they are good actresses. I'm looking forward to all his future dramas since all of them are S+ dramas so the production should be good. In term of xukai getting resources from yuzheng, I felt it was through his own efforts that he got those roles because he wasn't treated any special, and I agree with you even though he got main roles in these dramas his screen times were sacrifice for support characters if this how yuzheng is helping xukai, then I don't know how he's being treated so badly even though he is main ml.

Thanks ^^

In the recent episodes of great escape, I felt he was more relax. I think this has to do with how comfortable he becomes with the people in great escape. They became truly friends so he could relax around them ^^

Yeah I saw something like that her character was criticized for not being filial to her adopted parents because she chose love over family. Somehow her family in the novel was worse, but when adapted into drama they were change as a result audiences sympathize with her family for wanting to protect her from someone they think do not deserves her. She was also bashed for not saving the pregnant mother but only the baby? There was a whole video bashing yang yang acting complaining he was too in love with himself. There was also complaints when they were playing with the fire extinguisher. Just show different audiences see differently international audiences like the drama, but Chinese audiences have mostly complained about the drama.

I saw a video mocking yang yang's acting while praising the sml and saying he ruined his character in the novel. Wang churan and him were also bash for not being professional. I think you were the one who told me you like the ml in this drama and wanted xukai to play this character. Do you think yang yang was able to play this character successfully, what made you disappointed about the drama?

Yes he's a handsome actor, but I also like his personality and how funny he can be. Agree with you, as an actor there's still room for improvement, and he never wasted an opportunity to learn and improve, and I really like that about him ^^

I think wol is a good drama with good production. I hope he'll get lots of screen times in that one. I'm looking forward to wol since I'm interested in the character he'll be playing. Whether it will do well, it all depends on how good the plot is, I'm not that worry about jing tian as his partner, haters can't use use her to downgrade the drama like they did with his previous partners like in ancient love poetry, falling into your smile or snow eagle lord. A lot of negativity from snow eagle lord I didn't get about the chemistry between gulli nazha and xukai, I thought their chemistry was great and her acting was ok not as bad as some claimed. I like eyes acting so I think she could improve on that, otherwise she plays her character well. Xukai was very impressive in snow eagle lord since he did his own fights and his emotional scenes were also great. I can't wait to see the action scenes from the trailer since I know xukai won't disappoint, i'm also looking forward to xukai and jing tian chemistry ^^

Probably that hater made many accounts to down votes those dramas for them to go down in rank at the same time.
