Exactly! Guy asks you if you're suspicious of anything, you ask if he loves you, like are you serious? There are tons of questions that he could be asking BJ about his involvement with all the rumours he's been fed, instead he chose that, and then he's believing all those half assed answers. Dan may even be manipulating him and he'll fall for it. He already is...

Exactly! The truth is being manipulated but who's doing that hasnt been made known yet...

Man I'm suspicious of Dan. I think he wants to use Lil Jane to get back at Big Jane. He's acting like Big Jane but using the softcore method rather than the hardcore method Big Jane is using. I'd send Lil Jane on a vacation if he'll just use his brain. Also when BJ asked him if there's any other thing he's suspicious of, the only thing he could ask was if BJ loves him? Like what?! Is he for real? He should be asking him questions about the many rumours he's heard. He should also try to confirm those suspicions himself instead of just listening to hearsay or rumours only. There's always a way to do those things... I'm not supporting BJ, at least not yet, I'm just saying LJ should find out the truth himself so that he won't regret the choices he's going to make onwards. If he's going to break up with BJ, it will be based on concrete evidence and not unconfirmed rumours, that way, he'll know he made a solid decision, and if he chooses to stay with BJ, it'll be because he has a concrete evidence to back up his choice

Let's even assume Big Jane won't answer Little Jane honestly. Fine. Even in a dishonest answer, there'll still be some truth if Little Jane is smart enough to read between the lines.
My issue is this: if he already suspect s Big Jane, why not ask him the hard questions? Why ask him if he loves him instead of asking about all the rumours he's been hearing? Watch his reactions and judge for himself instead of depending completely on what people are saying.
Yes, Big Jane is a red flag. Nobody is denying that. But you can't condemn someone based on rumours alone when you have the chance to find out things yourself.
Then look at Dan. He's already making romantic moves, getting close, tying a bracelet on Little Jane's wrist, and Little Jane isn't even questioning him (from the preview of next episode) . Dan is moving just as fast as Big Jane did, so why isn't he suspicious of him too?
To me, Little Jane is just too soft. He thinks he's in control, but everyone around him is influencing him.
And about Big Jane, from what people who have read the novel are saying, he has reasons for what he does. Most people who get into trouble with him do so because of their own greed. They willingly make deals with him, refuse to keep their own side of the bargain, then blame him when things go wrong.
At the end of the day, Little Jane just needs to use his head more. Listen to people if you want, but don't let rumours become your only source of truth. Find out things for yourself.

I'm watching the preview of next episode and Dan is making advances towards Little Jane and he's okay with that? He isn't even questioning that. I'd be suspicious of Dan as heck. He's getting too close too fast, just like BJ...LJ gets swayed easily, thinking he knows what he's doing, but doesn't, instead he's dancing to other people's tune... I feel like slapping some sense into him, really!

The drama is just meant to be watched for fun, not something you use to chart your life's course. It's just entertainment. Nothing to be taken seriously about the plot or premise of the plot, and it's definitely not the kind of drama you draw life's lessons from. This is the kind of drama where you're like : "oh, crazy meets crazier and they end up together, good for them!" and that's it...but leads' acting is pretty solid

Nope, he does not. At least, I don't see the semblance

Honestly, apart from the fact that China doesn't recognise dual citizenship, there's nothing he wants to do with the US citizenship anymore since his big brother (his two brothers live in China) took him from there to raise him in China at age 7. He doesn't have any relationship with his parents (who live in the US) and can barely remember what they look like anymore. The family he knows are based in China, and his career is blooming in China, better to hold on to that. He'll do really and excellently well in China.

That's crazy! Why would they add a rape scene, and then have the rapist and the victim marry. There's nothing romantic about that and it's straight up disgusting. What was the screenwriter thinking and more importantly, how was it able to pass censorship?! That's so low

That's disgusting adding a rape scene in this amazing drama. What were they thinking? That's seriously low. I just started watching the drama. I would stop watching but the acting of Steven and Ryan is just too amazing to ignore. I'll just find a way to skip the rape scenes then...men! What was the scriptwriter and director thinking to add rape to the plot of the drama?!

It means you have unconsciously transferred your hatred of the character the actor played to the actor himself if you don't have the appetite to watch his future dramas. No matter how much the character an actor plays makes you hate him (I'm referring to the character), it shouldn't affect you watching his other dramas since it's acting and the drama itself is fictional, a make-believe. Permit to say that if you feel the way you feel, it means you're entangled in the world of fiction.
He might play a positive role that you may eventually come to like, who knows, but you may miss that if your feelings persist.
Note: I don't know the actor and I haven't watched any of his dramas. I'm just saying because I don't think an acting should affect one emotionally this much. I hope you get me. Stay cool and happy always

You're the one who should look for dramas that suit your taste. His acting is good. I was just about to comment about his amazing acting in "Fate Chooses You" and then I read your comment which is totally wrong about the actor. I enjoyed his micro expressions a lot and I'm saying as someone who doesn't watch Cdramas often. Just go find dramas that are your cup of tea and watch instead.
With the few Cdramas I've watched, I'd say I prefer the acting with micro expressions than the overly animated acting by some actors (which is not bad). If he doesn't like eating the lips of his female leads, that's fine. It doesn't reduce him as an actor and definitely doesn't discredit his professionalism since he acts so well. There are actors who can kiss but can't act well.Knowing how to kiss and kissing female leads is not what makes an actor, it's how to interpret roles, really act the characters they're playing that makes them own their craft. There are plenty of fans who don't have problems with him not kissing his female leads, so it's not a problem. You can just find dramas where actors eat the lips of their female leads, it's not that hard.

Shipping them romantically may affect their career expecially if delusional inter fans take the shipping to weibo and other Chinese social media platforms. The series may get pulled down, the actors may be banned from interacting with each other in public and one of them may have their career halted. I have seen this happened, that's why I wouldn't want them to be shipped, but I wouldn't go about talking harshly to people or fighting them over it. This shit has happened before so people shouldn't really ship them, especially if the drama is pushing them as brothers...

Like Net is so good looking. He didn't even have much makeup on his face and he's that fine. I just couldn't stop staring at him and him in those glasses? My God! I have no words! He's simply gorgeous 😍🥰

She's still a minor. That's why lots of people are concerned...i wouldn't comment about anything until I see the trailer of the drama...

Of course she can be in the industry. There are just roles that she shouldn't be given to play yet is all. There are child actors, teenage actors in every entertainment industry, Hollywood, Bollywood and so on, so, she can totally be in the industry...

I don't think anybody is blaming Minghao for being a pedo, they're saying her agency shouldn't be casting her as a lead in a romantic drama yet, maybe for other lead roles that doesn't involve romance. Why would Minghao be blamed for something he has no control over and not in charge of?

I kinda guessed one of them would die in the end while watching because through their journey, one wanted to repay what he owed the other and these kinds of repayment is usually sacrificial; like saving the other person's life from death by dying instead, protecting the other person from death while taking their place. I understand the depth of their devotion to each other, the reason and why it ended the way it ended. Ah Yu's death is painful but memorable. Their goodbye was memorably heartbreaking (if the word combo works)

It's not just bromance dramas, there are so many straight dramas with sad endings to. When it comes to Chinese costume dramas generally, one shouldn't always have high hopes for happy endings. Chinese costume dramas for the most part have sad endings. Few modern dramas do as well, but costume dramas take the cake...

A talent agency does not have the legal or practical authority to manipulate an entire drama script for one actor.

The role of a talent agency is to manage the actor, negotiate contracts, submit them for auditions, and handle PR, schedules, and career planning. That is the extent of their influence. They do not own the drama, do not fund it, and do not control the script.

All script-related decisions are handled by the production company (in this case, iQIYI), the chief producer, and the screenwriter. These stakeholders are profit-driven. Their primary concern is how to recover production costs and maximise ratings, viewership, and revenue. No production company would risk damaging a project’s performance just to favour one actor.

In practice, talent agencies submit actors under their management for auditions. The production company then selects the actor best suited for the role based on performance, compatibility, and market considerations.
The exception is top-tier actors with massive fan bases (often 30 million followers and above), who may be directly offered roles because they bring guaranteed traffic. Even then, this is a business decision by producers, not agency control.

It is therefore unrealistic to claim that a talent agency can manipulate a drama script for a single actor. Doing so would risk poor ratings and low viewership, something no profit-oriented production company would allow.

Additionally, He Yu is not yet in the category of actors who receive billing-based privileges, so the claim makes even less sense.

Before making such accusations, it is important to understand how the entertainment industry actually operates.
