Not easy to recommend most dramas I have seen with he is always 2nd male lead or support. Although his character…
I agree, I feel he's one of those with a good unique look, fantastic acting skills, devoted to his roles, but no luck/opportunity to break out. He has to be well-known enough now, and have good friends in the industry. I'm waiting for him!
I have rated all the eps, but it took me a few tries. I end up using the website, but you don't just click the stars and think it's done, you have to submit it as a review. It's a pain lol
Still in a drama slump after TLOSL. Almost watched everything with LGX as well 😂😅 Repeatedly rewatched TLOSL.…
I tried other dramas, but nothing is as good or captivating.
So I'm still rewatching TLOSL. I kind of loop the first 6 episodes, because I really like Xingyun and how they can live without their roles for a bit.
Yesterday I watched the ending episodes, and really liked Fenglai and their father/daughter moment. Such a well done scene. I appreciate that ZLY chose no dialogue for that moment, it hit soo much deeper.

Haha thats exactly why I had to ask, I tried checking out some of the dramas thinking I can even watch if he's support, but there are no good dramas! Some that looks like he's ML, but never got aired for some reason. He does not seem to have great luck, always waiting for a breakthrough :(
When do you think XZ fell for SL? In fact, from their very first meeting (as human form), XZ did not "fall in…
In the last vid, we said XZ fell for SL because she is the light that has brighten up his gloomy lonely days.
When SL was stuck in the Extranatural realm, she finds the secrets in the painting showing the past. One thousand years ago, after XZ has sealed Xutian Abyss, he returned to Extranatural realm, and experiences loneliness day after day, drinking away his sorrows. Then he went to the mortal realm and watches a mortal’s entire lifetime. (Video author believes this is XZ, it depends on how you see it). XZ sees that the man watched his parents die, his wife die, and even his children die, become all alone in the end. This is the feeling XZ have: everyone have died before him, and anyone he meet in the future will die before him, leaving him all alone again and again. Just like the colorless Extranatural realm.
XZ laments: “Repeated cycles of life & death, all encounters are but illusions. In the end, all is a fantasy.” XZ suddenly loses the will to protect the 3 realms, and the reason for his own existence. Yes, he is depressed, but cannot die, because he is the only AG left. No God has come after him, so he has no choice but to keep walking this endless lonely path. To keep busy, he went to be a mortal. This could be one life in previous hundreds of mortal lives, but each time, due to his AG status, he is destined to have only one type of fate: a lonely life until death. He has an attitude seemingly like has accepted this, so he is comfortable always being alone. Even if others like him, he will reject, because liking him will have no future. XZ to Tao: “I am not a good person (to like).”
How can a person like Xingzhi ever fall in love? Meeting Shenli is an unpredictable change of fate. Shen Li’s personality is dazzling, even eye-catching as a chicken. XZ sees SL’s tenderness underneath her hard shell, her personality becomes a bit of color to him. Even if it is a little bit of light, it is bright in the dark.
Between them both, Shen Li falls in love first. “You are still a free man/ With me around, you will live/ Days ahead may not be pleasant, but you will live on/ It’s true I like you but can’t be with you”. Each of these words are meaningful to XZ’s heart, because unlike him, she chooses to love and show love unrequitedly, even without a future, just for the sake of the other person.
When she leaves, XZ’s eyes show reluctance. This time, he reached out his hand to her first.
For anyone interested! There is a fan made analysis video: "When do you think Xing Zhi first fell for Shen Li?"…
A commenter's reaction that I thought is pretty true: "I feel that as a person with extremely important responsibilities, XZ would not have fallen if he had not been loved, protected and taken care of as a mortal in the mortal world. When Shen Li was less than a thousand years old, she even spent five hundred years cultivation for Xing Yun."
No doubt, this kind of feelings would be so meaningful that it touches his heart, even as a God.

When do you think XZ fell for SL? In fact, from their very first meeting (as human form), XZ did not "fall in love at first sight". SL has never been a "likeable" girl that people would want to confess to and bring home as a wife. FRJ: “Who would want to marry this kind of feisty warrior woman as a wife? She does not have any bit of vulnerable charm for anyone to pity her.” In FRJ's eyes, although SL is beautiful, she is like a rose with thorns, prickly woman no one wants. XZ: “She has.” Only XZ will deny this and want to pity/care for her.
When XZ first met SL, he treated her as a pet, to tease for fun. The first time changing his view of her, would be when she assists during the ghost soldier and his wife. She has a small petite body, but would push XZ behind her to protect him. In XZ's 10,000+ years of life, no one has ever given him this feeling of protection. In this scene, he cannot stop looking at SL many times in a new light.
When he fell into the lake, he even waits for SL to save him (smiling), to experience the protection again. XZ: "Who saves someone by pulling hair?!" Frustrated, but playful. SL: "Now that I'm human again, I will leave." You can see XZ's look of sadness, as the warmth and fun he felt is about to leave. When she then turns back into a chicken, you can see his emotions change to happiness immediately, even laughing again.
If not for the bad guys coming, XZ would not want to move the stone and let SL regain her human body. Because XZ knowing this would cause her to leave, so he becomes like a naughty child, faking pain, fussing, and attracting attention. Although SL doesn't treat him with tender care, she is still showing softness and pity when she read his leaf of his tragic past, and it made him happy. In the kitchen, both touched accidentally and become embarrassed. This might be when SL is the most feminine, blushing red, and XZ's ears redden and he stutters.
When SL confesses that she likes him, his first reaction was a smile, but it changes to sad, and then a fake smile and "got it". Seems like he was happy, but knowing there is no future, gives her "an answer that is not an answer". He might like her, but cannot like her.
SL: I've spent more time with him (Mofang) than with you. XZ: *sad face* (A reminder that separation is inevitable; they belong to different worlds.)
XZ gifts SL a poisonous arrow hairpin. In ancient times, hairpins are usually tokens of love and gifted to lovers. "Sturdy, lethal, but dazzles beautifully." This is how XZ sees SL, and the reason he fell for her: She is the light that has brighten up his gloomy lonely days.
This is craze hahaha but i get you even when i do something 100% productive or too much interesting suddenly i…
There was one shoot where he is wearing a leather jacket too. He has such vibes, like a cheeky mischievous bad boy. His real personality seems like such a rebel 😂 I linked a video somewhere up there where he almost burned himself to death ignoring the spicy warnings for hotpot.
He's tall with a similar physique. He's also in the shot with the boat with ZLY double (where there's a wave) and Few others. I've seen the drama so many times I'm like searching for these now.
A couple days ago he went to do a Chengdu spicy hot pot challenge and KO'd. The kicker is he was in denial the whole way through, even adding extra chilis. 😂
