His looks in that white hair truly looks like an immortal. It looks really GOOD!

The novel is on hold for me. I plan to finish Xu Kai dramas first.

I love Xu Kai - Bai Lu chemistry very much in The Legends. In a way, it was that drama that taught me the real meaning of "chemistry", hahahahaha. Unfortunately the editing for the drama ending is a mess. Someone re-edited the ending based on logical chronology and by looking from Li Chen Lan clothing. The drama should have bad ending if they follow their original edit.

In regards to FIYS, I am very disappointed that we have no more of Lu Si Cheng and Hierophant interaction. Their flash back in ep 10 (?) is so good and interesting. They are both comrade and rival. I have not watched ep 30-31 yet. I hope their final fight is handled well. I will hate it if they are still focusing in romance too much by then.

Not my first time finding this kind of comment. Last time I read comments like this is when I was following Cheng Yi drama. Just ignore them. I deemed them just immature drama watcher who just having their first experience in liking some actor/actress. It is too tiresome to respond them.

Oh, that Korean guy called Pope? Because in WeTV they called him Hierophant. Yeah, I feel these two have more interesting relationship than the romance. Because the relationship is between equal. In the romance, I feel that Tong Yao cannot match Lu Si Cheng, in a way that the relationship feels one sided.

I have been following Xu Kai ever since The Legends. But after AMA, I was distracted with other drama and then put his dramas on hold. Then Ancient Love Poetry happened. I will watch Dance of the Sky Empire and Lingjian Mountain after I finish with FIYS. I am still at ep 27 at the moment.

What I love the most from Bai Jue is that he loves without forgetting his responsibilities. He knows clearly who he is and what he should do with his position. Between Tain Qi and Bai Jue, I say Bai Jue has proven his worth to become the cultivation partner of the Chief God.

I am very late to this drama discussion because I choose to finish ALP first before checking this out. Watching ALP made me unable to think about other drama. I am now at ep 25 still but already sneaked peek to ep 28-30. So I think I already get the overall acting from the cast.

The discussion above no longer interesting since the drama has ended so I scrolled down to see if there was any interesting discussion happened. I do have the same problem with Cheng Xiao. No hate toward her personally, but I have my reservation for idol turn actor/actress. Experience told me that I usually ended up ranting toward their acting. It is not that there cannot be career change that is successful. Xu Kai is not professionally trained as actor, yet he is one of my favorite actor that has both face and skill. Xiao Yu Liang (acted as Zhang Qi Ling in Ultimate Note) is also a professional dancer turned to actor, but I love his acting very much in Ultimate Note (lots of praise from people in general, too). I don't understand the problem with the idol. Cheng Xiao is not the only idol actress that I have problem with. I even specifically avoid any Ju Jing Yi dramas after I watched her in Legend of Yunxi.

FIYS as drama has interesting background and storyline. I am not dropping it. Also, I like Xu Kai so I will endure for him at the very least. But, FL acting is quite lacking. This is far more pronounced after the she and Lu Si Cheng is in relationship. I just cannot feel that the FL loves the ML. The expression and aura just not there. On the other hand, I can clearly see how the ML fall head over heel toward the FL. It is certainly taking a way a bit of my enjoyment in watching the drama.

I understand that Cheng Xiao is new to acting so this lack of skill is to be expected. However, I don't want people to use this argument to silent those who are dissatisfied with the acting. Actor and actress need to know that the audience are not yet satisfied with their acting so they know that they should improve themselves. Moreover, I dislike how these idols often get lead role even with that minuscule ability just because they already have pre-existing fandom. I dislike how their fandom is so quick to defend them from any criticism. Lead role will always fall into more scrutiny from the audience. It is the price that they have to pay.

Really? It is so weird. I myself love ep 1 very much. Also this drama does not have the same problem with FIYS (the scandal with the novel). So I don't understand why those people did this?

In a way, I am "happy" that Xu Kai does not succeed because of a horde of fans that will give all his dramas high rating, but because of his skill. I heard that even though his dramas have low rating, they always have high viewership. Talk about irony, hahahaha. Right to the face of those haters.
Also, the fact that he can filmed up to 3 dramas per year just shows that despite those low ratings, he is still a sought after actor.

This drama deserves at least a 9 with all those CGI and acting skills.

But then they are also get angry when the drama is all about visual but no acting skill ....... I think the problem is too many immature people behind the computer screen that think being able to give a bad rating is something to be proud of.

I also agree with her, hahahahaha. In the trailer, I can see the ML is someone without ambition in life. And those puppy eyes, I am sold

Agreed on that. And I disliked how the respective person never take this battle legally but then let the e-sport fan run rampage after the novel is adapted into drama. Seems the craziness of fan depicted in the drama is true after all

As I have said in one of my post, Xu Kai is one of those rare actors that have duality of face. He can be suitable to act as cold person, but he can also be suitable to act as pitiful person. This is one of the reason why he is perfect as Bai Jue. Bai Jue is a cold and somehow anti-social. But he is also very cute and pitiful because he is so lonely.

As far as I know the drama get the hate mainly from e-sport community. They claim that the novel author take a real person experience and use it for her novel without permission from the respective person.

In my opinion the premise is interesting. But looking from the negative view of cnetizen for this drama ...... Sigh .... what a waste of potential good story

The King Avatar is the first e-sport novel that I read (I read the novel before it was adapted to drama). It is very good! And yes, I also like the bromance in that. How rival is also a friend.

If anything, rather than making season 2, I am more interested if they make a prequel of Lu Si Cheng time in Korea with Hierophant; his journey to become a great player.

Me too. I have watched the trailer for that drama and I think Xu Kai is perfect in that. That puppy expression ........ Cannot wait to watch him in that drama.

Hahahaha!! I really hope that the drama would have expanded their story. From what we are given, they have a special relationship. I can see how they see each other as equal, the one that can share the burden of being in the top. This kind of relationship is far more interesting than the the romance

The information in the instagram is pretty intersting because there is also comment about how he got the role in She and Her Perfect Husband.

I do agree that his career is very fast moving. He has lots of drama after his debut, even more than other popular actor that I know of (that has a horde of fans). And the fact that he got offer to act with more popular and experienced actress with him being so new in the industry is something. Ancient Love Poetry is a very high budget drama, based on how great the CGI is. He is not high in traffic so him getting Bai Jue role is big in my opinion.

Thank you for sharing! Xu Kai in my opinion has this cold aura but once he shows a depressed or sad expression, our hearts just cannot take it. This dualism is quite rare. Usually actor has either face that suitable for suffering or face that suitable for cold arrogant ML.

Yeah. I also think that the chemistry in ALP is better. In FIYS, I even think that the chemistry between Lu Si Cheng and Hierophant is better, hahahahahaha.

Some of the watcher in FIYS page also think the same about Cheng Xiao. But I also can understand why some people adoring that pairing. I do think that idol turn actor/actress should not get lead role until they are able to grasp the basic acting skill. There are too many drama out there with great storyline get destroyed because of acting skill.

Xu Kai is not professionally trained as actor. He is not an idol but a model (as far as I know). I don't want him to get confined to idol drama since I can see in Ancient Love Poetry, he has the talent to become a good actor. I am happy he get to act with good actress in Ancient Love Poetry. I am looking forward to his collaboration with Yang Mi.
