I am just now watching Kill Me, Heal Me for the fifth or sixth time, one actor, one person, seven different personalities. Totally get what you mean. Such two opposite personalities are something to watch :) Of course, one of them dark?

Tempting. I have a weakness for lawyers :)

Yes, yes, yes! Something like that wuxia game he was spokesperson for? I definitely support this idea!

If you had to pick one and only one dream role for XZ, what would it be? Prince Charming? A serial killer? A tragic lover? Spiderman?

I propose a game to cheer up this dull, gray autumn. If XZ could fulfill one movie dream of yours, what would it be?

I'm not judging you as a person, I'm just interpreting your post, it's such a correction if there is still something unclear. As I wrote, I don't know your intentions, I'm interpreting words that, by your own admission, were chosen unfortunate. The unfortunate choice of words causes misunderstandings. Sometimes misunderstandings are caused through emotion, because you think I think all XZ fans are bad, which I never said, and I clearly stated that some. I've had more than one discussion with fans of more than one actor over the past four years, and there will always be those who are rational (sometimes too much so) and those who give in too much to their emotions.

I really have a problem with this topic, not with the question. I believe that if I don't know or understand something, I should ask. I can't go to the ABC actor's account to ask about the CDE actor. Since I am not a fan of the CDE actor, but have some interest in him, I go to the CDE actor forum and ask. Perhaps my question is not a graceful one, because I don't know that fans of the CDE actor are very sensitive on a certain point, but if fans of the actor treat me immediately as an enemy, I woud decide that it is better to get away from the CDE actor and his fans and maybe take an interest in the EFG actor. Wouldn't you do the same?

You were offended by my interpretation of your statement. Didn't your interpretation of the question about XZ offend the questioner? From March 1, 2020 until the end of the summer of 2020, I encountered provocations every day and I am heartily sick of it. Your unfortunate statement combined with the fact that you are a new account is a classic case of provocation from the 227 period. I had as much reason to believe that your intentions were not pure as you did that Angiee Le's question had a negative meaning. This is exactly the same. I still have no reason to consider you a dedicated sensible fan because I don't know you, but I'm not calling you a troll because I choose to believe that you don't want to provoke anyone, you just used a phrase that wasn't well thought out. Do you get what I mean? It's the internet, we don't know each other and all we can do is choose to approach people with an open heart or with hostility.

I did not mean to offend you, but I wanted to point out that your post could be interpreted as a fanatical statement. It's not why XZ fans are guarding their every utterance for the third year now that someone with an ill-considered statement would accidentally spoil their reputation anew. Because of the fact that you read my words as an attack on you, I am sorry.

P.S. Many fans are trying to explain where XZ's popularity came from. Why and for what people like him so much. They did not read this question as an attack on him. They chose to have an open heart. Not all, but many.

There is a difference between fact and belief. A fact is something you can verify objectively. A fact is a tree, sand that you can touch and official information of a statement. A belief is something you want to happen, that can happen, but you can't verify it.

While I am very hopeful that Douluo Dalu will have a season two, I am also hopeful that some of the rumors about XZ's future work will materialize, but at the moment these are just dreams and rumors, not facts.

When you put information about a drama next to an actor and that drama never starts production, your faith turns first into misinformation, then into a lie. Despite our sincere hopes, this drama may never come to fruition, and even if they ever start filming it, XZ may say he's too old to play a 20-year-old, or too busy with other productions, or fall in love and give up his career... There are thousands of possibilities. That's why we can't rely on rumors, although sometimes we really want them to be true. FBS 2, Princess Agent 2, Ever Night 3, The Dark Lord 2, Jade Dynasy 2... should I go on listing fan faith that never came to fruition? I'm tempted to add JoL 2. The principle of MDL is to rely on facts and confirmed information (at least in theory), not faith, so many of us want all the information posted here to be facts, not faith.

She was completely different in Legend of Chusen, so she can play different roles. It's just that her fans love her for this type and, in my opinion, they hurt her as an actress because they don't let her develop. Anyway, I understand your pain, but TOoL is one of the few dramas I've watched whole this year. On the farther side, XZ has some cool, funny scenes and I didn't regret watching this drama. Being able to fast forward helps with this type of drama :)

Yes, annoying especially since earlier (about two months ago) the same moderator informed me that one report is enough, they check sources and base information only on official sources, not rumors. Apparently, the rules depend on the mood the moderator is in at the time. Typical.

Interestingly, when I reported that XZ was not playing in this drama, that it was just a rumor, I got a refusal to change. And now, please, someone else reported and he is not there as ML. How do we not get paranoid here?

Big YES.
Her character is a little infantile idiot to me. What to do, such a scenario. Not XZ's best role either, but the guy has a certain undeniable charm.

Interestingly, when I submitted a change in cast giving a brief justification, exactly the same as in the forum, my change was rejected, and the moderator was gracious and industrious enough to give me the rejection code. Well, I wasn't industrious enough to look for what that code might mean. One begins to wonder what moderators are guided by when approving or rejecting changes? Certainly not by fact and not by argument :)

Wait, I don't understand something. No Chinese media reports anything about the production (nothing official), neither Tencent, Xinli, the director, just no one, but the drama Douluo Continent 2 is officially confirmed? By whom? Where? After all, you wrote that you confirmed the veracity of the information, and now you write that the information is only on MDL.
Someone got the information about the cast from somewhere, or made it up. If that person's source is unofficial, we are dealing with a rumor. If it is official, what is the source? Is it some kind of state secret? Top secret? If so, there should be no mention of it on MDL.

In that case, I'm glad I didn't invest time in this drama.

Where?
I seriously ask because no official source that I know of says anything about this drama. Yes, there is a new rumor, but with a different actress. Do you have information from Tencent's website, from the drama's Weibo? From the radio and television administration office? From the production number application? I would appreciate a link.

Hm, that sounded like fangerling ZRY :)

This drama is nominated for two of the three prestigious TV awards in China, the Magnolia Awards and the Fey something.

This drama has had quite a few transitions. It is also quite uneven. Well, if the plot of one character is led by a good, experienced director, and the plot of the other character is led by the producer's son, it happens. Overall, however, it is a powerful script that faithfully depicts the problems of the military transition in China and the determination and fate of a group of soldiers. Many things are shown brilliantly, a few are shown less well and there are even some absurd and embarrassing scenes, but the overall tone is good. The drama, despite some stumbling blocks, lived up to its name.

Rumor. The drama is not confirmed, much less the cast.

I do not know the thoughts or intentions of the author of the original statement. Do you know them? I read what her words stated. So do you. My interpretation and yours may differ significantly. And what will be other people's interpretation?

I am not part of the fan community. I tried, but it was too toxic for me, seriously. I guess I've always had the viewpoint of a passerby who loves the actor and supports him as much as he can, but doesn't glorify him. An outsider, who is not a fan, reads such comments and is a bit... frightened because it sounds a bit radical. That's why it's worth considering what words are being used.

Angiee Le is not familiar with XZ, is not a fan, but has shown interest in his phenomenon. Love at first sight rarely happens, more often it is born by getting to know it. XZ fans felt threatened, started attacking her and some even created accounts just to more or less successfully compare liking the actor to believing in God.

Whether it was the unfortunate choice of words or the deliberate expression of true faith, this topic is not privately conducted, not only fans of the actor read the comments but also people who have taken an interest in the actor, for example, because they are popular. I personally find most of the comments left here frightening, and I have known XZ since 2019. Maybe longer considering the FBS

Fans reiterate that everyone has the right to like whoever they want, but attack anyone who doesn't love XZ with undying love. Putting an actor on the same line as God is either glorifying the actor or depreciating God. Maybe it's normal for extreme fan circles, but maybe that's why China is conducting a network clean-up operation for the second year.

I'm old. For me, belief in God (or lack thereof) fall into the realms of the transcendental, philosophical and theological, not in discussions of why a certain actor is popular. As I said, everyone has the right to believe what they want, I don't judge, but let's at least not attack those who don't share our faith. Let's not discourage potential new fans with our fanaticism. You can't force anyone to like someone, but we can easily discourage that person and make them hostile. And this is probably not our goal.

Wow, if you compare liking an actor to believing in God, well, no wonder people have the wrong idea about fans. If you said liking an actor is like liking some colleague at work, school or a guy you have a crush on and can't say why, that's cool, but God? Really? And then fans are surprised that people call them fanatics :D

But rest assured, in the fan clubs of all actors/actresses/idols/singers there are people who consider them to be gods. I don't judge. Religion and beliefs in general are a private matter for each of us :)

In general, however, most fans consider actors/actresses etc. simply as people.

I am surprised by the low ratings of this drama. For me, the first episode was unbearable, but somehow I got through to the second episode and just couldn't watch it. My problem was: the aesthetics, the music, the cast, the obnoxious characters without a shadow of realism and the plot idea itself. But usually my opinion definitely differs from that of the majority, and people say I'm picking on trifles. Ji Sung is one of my favorite actors (I have very few) but the characters he plays here were so unsympathetic to me that I quit this drama in order not to spoil my image of a likable actor. Gosh, I'm really surprised by such low ratings. A few weeks ago, people were rather raving about this drama.
