It’s only web distribution rights (like The Youth Memories) , it’s not Tencent production . Tencent wants to sell VIPs using XZ lol

Yes, that’s how I see it too. If they don’t want XZ and his success, it’s their loss. I am a little sad cause Tencent not valuing this drama may affect its position on some other charts . But in the end all that matters is XZ gaining new fans and XZ’s fans enjoying Shi Ying. Tencent can go to hell

I think they may be paving the way for their next dramas. Only people who stare at the data and industry insiders will know that TLP heat is being suppressed , they probably want their next drama to ‘explode’ and they don’t want TLP to break all the records.
That’s the explanation I saw from some non-fans who analyse this sudden Tencent bug. It only started after TLP aired

Tencent stopped publishing their views since last year. There are estimates made by fans but there is no official transparent statistics

That many antis 🤣 It’s always like that with Xiao Zhan’s works, we are used to it already . They are even downrating episodes that haven’t aired lol
It’s one of the best xianxias I have seen in many years. I highly recommend!
unless, of course, one is used to stupid dramas with overacting and no logic in characters or plot, this drama is not for those who prefers brainless romance

It’s a xianxia drama, so it has all the tropes that come with the genre . As for the new stuff it brings, I’d say this drama is probably the first xianxia I have seen where characters actions are logical and the plot makes perfect sense.
Sorry, cannot answer your question, I am not sure who the guy is .

Maybe you have to wait a couple hours? I know it’s already out in Europe

Xiao Zhan and Ren Min are so cute together , my heart can’t take it

I thought the scene where ZY got drunk was so cute and well acted, and turnes out XZ gave her tips. He is such a great partner to work with! Hope he goes into directing in the future

Why isn’t Tencent doing any promo for the drama? No press conference, no photoshoots etc. all they do is press a button once a day to release new episodes

Yes it does, it gets very good 👀

Well, I guess that’s how it is for you, that’s ok.
Personally I find them cute together, ZY is seriously crashing on SY and those scenes are very endearing to me.
I also believe that RM acting is pretty natural , unlike other ‘cutesy’ female characters I have seen in cdramas over the years. To me she’s one of the best female leads XZ has worked with.

Respectfully, I disagree, their chemistry is great and keeps getting better as the connection between them grows stronger. Wang Churan is pretty but she doesn’t fit the character of ZY at all

Not a girlfriend 😭🤣

I also find her very pretty. She has a unique look to her, she’s like a cuter Chinese Anya Taylor-Joy 😆 I don’t understand how anyone can call her ugly

TTEOM was big mainly because of the negative marketing Youku gave it. It actually hurt both lead’s reputation, especially the ML. Even though the drama earned lots of money for Youku.
That’s why I don’t want them to compete, as long as audiences like Xiao Zhan’s portrayal we are good.
No TTEOTM effect please😬What is the point of having a popular drama if it nearly kills your career

There definitely are kisses, at least two . One underwater (it was shared by the official drama account today) and at least one more long kiss . some paparazzi posted footage of XZ&RM filming a long kiss scene

Same

Interesting point, I am inclined to agree with you on everything except for the part that XZ trying to give a standard xianxia character more depth creates dissonance. For me, yes XZ’s performance is more nuanced than you typically see in a drama like this, but his character allows it and , imo, it’s a good thing, it contributes to the drama viewing experience. Rumor has it XZ made them rewrite the script before he agreed to do this drama for Tencent (I think he had to do one costume drama as Tencent spokesperson)
But I doubt XZ will ever play in a drama like this again, looks like he’s attracted to more serious roles . Still, I hope to see him in a costume again , maybe something historical

I think that’s partly cause his character in Where Dreams Begin is just deeper and more complex maybe . I hope he takes on more roles like that in the future
