@Draco, the main reason I brought this one up is because I was hoping one of his alasos may see it and can bring it up to him so he'd keep that in mind and maybe change for the better. He'll be on CCTV which has a much broader coverage in China (Nationally across all China). He should take this opportunity and make himself more presentable to raise his popularity. Chinese young audience to them, looks are quite important...don't you think a Xiao Zhan has become so popular that the main reason of it isn't because of his looks (although, his singing is also excellent). Anyway, take it or leave it, that's OK...we're just expressing our opinions here...

@yellow_cat: What's the deal with you? I never asked you to leave! All of us are entitled to our opinion and therefore, express them freely here in the US...you might be in China and if so, you should be the one to really be heading out! watch out for someone at your door to come to get you.

@jungshooky: it's a reality show, but not a staged per say, as it's filmed with audience of course...so, it can be seen as in between :) Xu Kai had so many fit jackets in BCE and in his appearances at public events last year that he looked so handsome on...that's the mesmerizing thing...someone who's really clever to watch for one's career would definitely be more careful. You never seen a Yang Mi with careless worn cloths. Look at all these other actors in the ad, they were all dressed according to their sizes, all but Xu Kai.

This was the link that yellow_cat posted about the variety show that Xu Kai will be participating along with LXY and LZF on CCTV starting this Saturday, May 25: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBW8z_xfK7k Xukai must have forgotten his own jacket or that his assistants were all lacked of fashion and chose an extra large size of a jacket for him; also did him a bad make-up because he had so much powder on his face that he looked like paper-white. The jacket he had on for the show's ad was so big my heck, showing him extra thin...not pleasant looking to say the least.

Wish XK having more invitations from CCTV and gain more popularity at the China's national level! In fact, someone posted or it was at X/Twitter there was an ad on CCTV about young actors and Xu Kai was in that category.

Kangxi is the grandfather of Quianlong. So, Quianlong is the son of the king that Nicky Wu portrayed in Scarlet Heart, the one he did with Liu Shi Shi.

XK hasn't changed much comparing these 2 phots, good for him, equally handsome in both.

That is the same reaction I had when I saw XK doing his dance. I mean, come on! I really didn't want to see it more than a second after it started. I thought he made a fool of himself...and unfortunately, that is why someone said that they'd prefer XK singing to his dancing, because to me (to be honest and NOT looking down on him), his dance was terribly bad. He must have had a trauma on his dance, that is, someone must have laughed too hard on him on his dance because he had been always embarrassed about his own dancing. Of course because of his origin compared to most of the other actors who also started with dancing he probably feel inferior regarding dancing. He should probably take some dancing classes to overcome that much of short coming; or not do it even if people ask him to do so. Just stand up on his own image to keep it clean and attractive.

They seem to be quite good friends, joking around in the filming of the drama. I saw a live stream broadcast between the 3 of them, during the ALP airing and they were all fun teasing among themselves; especially LXY calling LZF an old guy. XK was just laughing behind the cameras. Don't know if any of you have seen it. I think they have a good bond and probably that's why they all got tagged. Plus, LXY is doing very well since last year, all of his dramas have done very well. LZF also had one of his dramas do well (something about a single mom that he took care of, which I saw last year).

Yes, hopefully, he'll gain a few pounds afterwards and keep them with him. I don't mind him looking towards the end BCE when he was in the village; especially, when he and MCH were looking for the lost duck for their neighbors... I thought he looked so handsome then :D

Yep, with proper care, and hopefully he will!

Agree, he definitely looks better than some of the other actors; but doesn't look as good as even a few months ago. He looked fine with his weight even like when he was in the village looking for the FL's famous mom; and in most of Best Choice Ever...but ever since January, he's gotten too thin, and he doesn't look as good as he used to be. Yeah, hopefully, he'll gain back some of his weight by eating healthy.

@cicadina: are you saying that the FL wasn't beautiful enough? :D

I heard Xu Kai's Cantonese. It's soso, not like someone who's really from Hong Kong or Canton if i were to tell the truth as is. He's cut in the middle, so its really soso 😁. I can say however honestly, his mandarin is definitely much better than his Cantonese

Overall, i thought the mom could have gotten maybe a few mire minutes...but just coz people don't like her, her time seemed to be a lot longer😁

😀, sure,we all have different tastes.

I’m not sure about this...let’s see in 5 years😀. I am sure Xu Kai w/o his looks which he seems to be loosing it, will become invisible. I hope I am wrong.

If you want to be popular, fan base is the most important thing. Actors make their monies more on endorsements than anything else. Do you think a product would ask an actor to endorse someone who has 10 M or someone like Xiao Zhan who has 80M??? Common logic!

Xu Kai got quite a bit of more screen time after ep 16 or so...for those of you who had dropped the drama or had fast forwarded, you probably didn’t notice. I thought Xu Kai did even better in the 2nd half and he was much more handsome in there as he seemed to have gained a pound or two during such time. It was after ep 16 is when the FL had dropped her ex boyfriend and things started to develop between the leads so Xu Kai got more screen time from there on.

Agreed, its really none of my business anything related to an actor's private life as they're human too...They just entertain us with their roles in whatever they do, whether its with their acting, or singing, etc. I'm just talking on the looks they have on screen mainly. However because I am a fan of say for instance of Xu Kai, I'd like him to do well and maximize his success. There are sooo many actors in China and I see that fame doesn't last too long for the actors and that they should cease their moment to take those opportunities...so i don't think it'd help for instance that look for him and thus I'm expressing my concerns about that...that's all🙂. He needes to increase his fans base with smart deeds not putting off new fans...that would be a smarter thing to do.
