I totally agree to this. I wonder whoever rate it low actually watch it seriously.
It's missing pretty boy actor. If He Luyuan is like played by Wang Yibo or some other idol actor it will be 8.0 at least. If you notice MDL dramas, any drama without young handsome actor they are all severely underrated regardless of story. I mean The Knockout, which is iQiyi's most profitable drama of ALL TIME is only 8.1 here. The Long Season, which is the highest rated Douban drama, is like only 8.3 here too. Now you look at the most highest rated cdramas on this site, oh look what do they have in common? Handsome actors! And almost all of them are romance dramas. So yes if you see a non-romance drama without handsome actor you better add like 1 whole point to its score otherwise the score will look dumb. Add another point if it's featuring ccp officials because those trigger many people who review bomb such dramas because something something propaganda and ccp is evil.
I really like this drama because it's very educative n it will reach the masses. Sad that people rate it down…
If a drama is not a romcom, thriller, xianxia/wuxia, slice of life, AND it doesn't have pretty idol actor as ML it will get very low rating here compared to douban.
The demographic of drama watchers are overwhelmingly female and they are not going to watch those harem story, no choice but to cut those out. Read manhua and novel for op ML with multiple romantic partners.
I don't even remember him in NIF. Out of sight, out of mind!
His role in People's Property is really good, like a very realistic character. Also an antagonist but not the main one and have an indirect relationship with the protagonist just like here. This actor's acting skill is really good at playing villains.
I was like, huh what do you mean??? Until I watched the previews....lolOne thing I don't get though
That rapist is not YHQ. Nowhere did the show name that character, also XME age (it's pretty obvious his age is near an ni and her friends rather than xiao bei) would not match if he was conceived as a result of that.
To be honest this drama is so serious I can’t even watch anything else. True I would have watched it even if…
Welcome to the world of serious cdramas. Watch The Knockout, if you enjoy this you will like it very much. There is a good reason that drama is iQiyi's most profitable drama of all time!
This drama has way too many people who never actually watch any other cdrama of this genre or even crime cdrama (or just any realistic non-idol cdrama) in general.
Ironically the presence of Reba actually destroy this drama's rating here due to too many of her fans coming her only to watch her and be disappointed because the only thing they ever watched her in are those romance idol dramas and therefore are unable to stomach anything outside of that comfort zone. Just one of those reason why only douban rating is worth anything and not MDL rating.
This drama is not perfect but it certainly isn't worse than most of those romcoms and xianxias with better ratings.
That's not really true. By ep 30 it should be pretty clear that ZJK definitely also love her. He gave her all…
It's just white collar crimes. I'm sure there are a lot of billionaires who have track record of a lot of gray shady things or even straight up break laws but they are too powerful to be caught. These people have a lot of followers, lovers, etc who don't mind all that, it's about the money and power.
The whole notion of "I should turn against someone" because they break laws is unrealistic af. Look at all those corrupt politicians, they have so many friends and families who love them! In fact they love them even more if he hand out projects and nepotism and shit! People hate things like violent crimes/criminal but when it comes to all these white collar crimes many don't care where the money came from as long as they also benefit from the resulting money.
Yes An Ni is a friend, but a "useless" idealistic friend who can't even give LYT power, money, or even a job. Meanwhile ZJK gave her a card with a lot of money in it.... so yeah actually LYT is a much more realistic character than An Ni, I'd argue that the majority of people are more like her, because if the average people is like An Ni, then why is the corruption rate, crime rate, etc on earth is so high? Clearly many people value selfish desires over things like truth and justice.
I’m so disappointed in li yi tang cause betrayed an in over a man who doesn’t love you.
That's not really true. By ep 30 it should be pretty clear that ZJK definitely also love her. He gave her all his money and kept trying to not implicate her. Turns out all his harsh words was because he was trying to get her to leave him so she can have her own life and in order to not implicate her in his crime. He also never let her participate in his crime too. Also the password on his card. If a man doesn't love you he would not do all that. Also yes, one of the reason why ZJK doesn't turn on lao A is because he threatened to harm LYT if he does that, while he promise to gave him enough money to travel the world with LYT after he got released from prison if he turn himself in.
It is definitely a wrong assumption when people think that ZJK loving QTX means he doesn't love LYT. This is a fallacy which stems from all these idealized romance dramas where everyone can only have 1 love partner. Emperors can love his empress and multiple concubines at the same time, there are even cases where there are multiple favorite concubines, and yes, even in modern day CEOs often have mistresses and what not, he can obviously show care and concern towards multiple women. There is a precedence for this in cdramas, eg. the main villain in "In The Name of The People."
It's a shame because live action is so much more enjoyable than novel/manga/animation honestly. Especially if you like the actresses.

There is a lot of thrillers and bromances cdramas, obviously it has nothing to do with censorship because those are obviously not censored.
