he wanted to keep it secret. his cousin was his competitor at that time

ABAY is really a silent dark horse in the summer season. It is only 49 million view away from 2 billion according to Maoyan and almost catches The Doubles in term of "Maoyan" view which was considered as a hit lately

to be honest there are a few reason beside ABAY's quality itself. ABAY was aired from 2/7 on both website and sateline TVs
1. Lost you forever was broadcast 6 days after ABAY (8/7) and it has much less episode s (23 eps only) than ABAY.
2. I heard that the last part of The Princess Royal was not well recognised by audience due to flexing SML. It is actually considered as disappointment
3- Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty was aired much later than ABAY on 18/7 and only available on Website platform

In many of his interviews, Xu Kai said that he enjoys acting but he doesn't enjoy the aura that being an actor or popular image brings. Leaving his characters behind, he is just an ordinary person. I just watched his new reality show "travel random door" in which he said he was not that confident (as Xu Kai). he can do many thing when his character is required. But he doesn't think he was born to be confident, shining on stage as Xu kai. He prefers the backstage or watching other shining on stage

I don't think that 2ML is FL's soulmate. He basically didn't understand ther fear, her desire. Indeed, they shared the same job so he could understand the professional term but his approach was also different from hers. ML was actually understood FL much deeper. He realised the root of her fear, he supported her, avocated her to stay true to herself

Although the heat index did not exceed. 28k and we don't have chance to watch Xukai dance and sing, If anyone wonder how Xukai sings "under Mount Fuji" then here is his voice singing that song.

It seems that he sang that one on an public occasion and the original record had a lot of audience's noise. Thus, in the caption it is said that the fan noise was filtered out.
The visual clip was cut from his recent show "travel random door" where he sang a short part of Leon Zhang's song which was written a day before inspired by the desert.

everyone dies. It is natural laws. As an ordinary, he also died at very old age in the extra epsisode. According to the original novel, he died many years after their golden wedding anniversary because of old age. Ji Xing died a month later on his birthday in their bed at home (after a sweet dream, flasback of their whole life)

such gorgeous face

ABAY exceeded 1.9 billion effective playback volume according to Maoyan. It might cross the 2 billion milestone by the end of this weekend

to make enough or more revenue and profit. With the same setting (filming setting, costumes, especially those cost a lot for costume drama), salary for famous actors, the more episodes, the more revenue (copywright, ads etc).
Short drama with ~ 1x episodes or less normally have very low budget and recuits young, unpopular actors. No famous actors want to participate in short drama since it is considered as degradation of their status

if you prefer short drama then try Falling into your smile. it is only 31 eps

yes but the index value is much decreased. Basically it just means there is no other ongoing TV drama ( broadcast on TV) that attracts new viewers’ attention

it is quite confusing. this is global chart of weTV. and globally ABAY is distributed via WeTV only on some regions. while some other dramas are available in much more parts of the world
Thus, if the counting on such limited regions is enough to bring ABAY to the top of the list, then it reflects its attractiveness to viewers. good job especially with regard that Tencent did not do much on marketing and sold the distribution rights globally (except some regions) to Viki and Iqiyi

He is filming Fire Investigator: https://kisskh.at/767279-huo-chang-zhui-xiong
He completed filming "moonlit reunion" in middle of May this year. That drama is expected to be released in 2025 https://kisskh.at/696033-mei-fu-ren-chong-fu-ri-chang

9. Do you mean Court lady (instead of court land)
11. It is Royal feast

1,3 were based on animes
2 was based on a game plot
Thus those are quite special in term of plot and genre and they were not cup of tea for many. However, 2 and 3 were also highly recognised by some admirers who love such genre.
I did not drop snow eagle lord just because of his performance but honestly the drama was a big mess.
4. is a special case. The first 2 third was quite ok and interesting. But the ending was messed up and confusing

thanks for your explanation

to whom have knowlegde about drama marketing:
I just passby this weibo post which summarized some Xu Kai's contribution and achievement in ABAY
https://weibo.com/1630624302/5062214555534710#repost
It mentioned that Xu Kai and his fan made about 2700 and ~ 14000 block booking respectively (cost ~ 500,000 Chinese yuan). I understood that this related to marketing activity and I saw several news on Douban mentioning his fan would do sth on mass in order to push the heat on Tencent platform.
If you have some understanding about this, can you explain it ?
