I still have great fun with this drama. Not everything is perfect, but it's pretty close :)

I'm replying because I don't consider your comment to be a hateful one, just an expression of frustration caused by my posts. I understand that you may feel uncomfortable, but I also feel that way when reading many fan posts.

How can I criticize Xiao Zhan's latest choices when no one knows them? I have a total aversion to melons about what drama Xiao Zhan will star in. I will crush any melon. Do you know why? Because in 2020, the melon was an instrument of torture for Xiao Zhan and his fans. You can say it's the past, but now actors are also fighting with melons. These kinds of rumors are harmful. So at this point, my, your and everyone else's considerations are just booty calls, not questioning his decision, because we don't know his decision.

I have never written a bad word about Douluo Dal. I have expressed some objections in The Wolf, but if you read my posts or review you will see how highly I rate this drama. It is high on my lists, as are AT and Douluo. Have you seen the lists I have compiled? Have you read the descriptions left by me?

TLB I haven't seen, and neither have you. You rave about what a marvel it is, I think it's a disaster. I can take every scene apart and say what's badly done there. But I restrain myself. Are you sure you've read all my comments on TLP? Don't you remember the ones where I was highly satisfied with the BTS video? Don't you remember the ones where someone expressed dislike for the trailer, where I said I knew what she meant by that and sent her a link to that BTS saying how good it was?

Once I said that for me WDB promises to be boring. Once I joked that these bikers look like a motorcycle gang. Did that offend the drama so much?

And finally, because I've already written a lot anyway, if you have any objections to me, please click the envelope and send me a PM. If you criticize me in public, you are making a public verbal assault, which may be evidence to others that Xiao Zhan fans are biting at their own house. And who is giving Xiao Zhan fans a bad name here?

But all it takes is for some small account active once or twice a year, which has almost no content, no friends, to call me a troll, and already an avalanche goes. You didn't think it was intentional sowing discord among Xfx? Do you really think it's a good idea to join in a public rebuke of anyone, just because that person wrote some posts you didn't like? Do you really think this is ok? If so, then we have nothing to talk about.

And before you start calling someone a hater, look at your own words.

I'll be honest, I don't recall seeing him promoting this drama anywhere, but I could have missed something (although I check Weibo at least once a day).

I'm glad you enjoyed The Oath of Love. He's a very warm person, so it's no surprise that he liked a drama about a girl living in her own world.

I recommend the five-minute film Buying Ears, where the problem of deaf people is addressed. It is available on YT with subtitles. I haven't exaggerated Xiao Zhan's popularity, so if anyone doesn't know him but would like to see him, just take five minutes of your time.

After all, it's a popular actor from another country promoting a drama you like :)

Thank you for your kind words and for remembering :)

Oasis. Fans flipped these photos on Weibo. I saw them there this morning and had associations with the drama, but he had already drawn a whale in the sky two years ago. It wasn't until someone on YT did an analysis and I stabbed myself in the head - well, yes, these are stills from that drama.

I'm sending the link to Weibo. You have to scroll down a bit.

I think a lot of people following this drama are not interested in c-ent, so you may not know about an interesting fact. For about three years now, China's most popular actor/singer has been Xiao Zhan. This actor yesterday on social media shared with his fans two photos from this very drama. Before becoming an idol, Xiao Zhan actively supported a foundation for autistic children and won a poster contest drawing attention to the problem of autistic people. Xiao Zhan has a huge impact on people in China and outside China, so these two photos will definitely help more viewers reach this drama by also broadening awareness of the issues raised in it. Because of his popularity, Xiao Zhan very rarely supports a film project officially, so he considers this drama to be something of great value.

Wow, great, cool, only this has nothing to do with the question posed by Wei ying. Her question was about one specific situation, not about the problem of people with any degree of disability. I'm starting to regret that I spoke up at all.... Let's agree that we just look at the scene differently, shall we?

I remember the day Xiao Zhan was attacked. I remember his post published at three o'clock in the morning and what difficulties I had to translate the document from Chinese. I remember how suddenly everyone started attacking everyone thinking they were the enemy in disguise. Then there was panic on MDL, lots of misinformation. I created an account to fight the rumors and tell people that everything would be fine. At one point, I even made it a routine to post daily what was currently happening in China.

Do you still remember the "three views"? "I have my own point of view, you have your point of view but there is also the point of view of the person standing on the side.” There is no one truth, no one taste. We may disagree with each other we may not like the same thing, but let's respect each other. Let's respect how we are different. Let's not attack anyone, let's not accuse anyone, let's accept that the other person has a different point of view than I do. Do you still remember this?
Do you remember the video of trying Beijing snacks? "I don't like the taste, but I respect the existence of this dish and those who like it." Do you remember?

Children, adults and the old. Men, women and those who don't want to define themselves. Educated people and those without education. The rich and the poor. White, black, yellow and green... We are different. We come from different cultures. We speak different languages. We have different tastes. We were united by our love or affection for an actor whose presence is like warm sunshine on a winter day. We liked him because he talked about hard work and worked hard. He talked about respect and always showed respect to everyone, including those who are reluctant to him. He taught this respect to others. And tolerance.

A Xiao Zhan fan who attacks others is not his fan. He is just an ordinary child fascinated by a pretty face who does not understand what being a Xiao Zhan fan is all about. A child doesn't want to listen to his elders, because children are like that. Children didn't know Xiao Zhan at the time of his greatest horror, and they don't know the importance of everyone having the right to speak in their own voice. Xiao Zhan's fans are not mindless animals following the voice of a big fan on FB, they are taste-conscious people who understand that everyone has the right to have and express their own opinion.

You may hate me but if you are a fan of Xiao Zhan, refrain from publicly insulting those you dislike. A true Xiao Zhan fan does not attack and always remembers the three views.
I will not respond to any provocation or other signs of hate. Maybe in your eyes I'm not a fan, just a troll, but I still remember the rules, which for Xfx were like holy commandments. From now on I am going to ignore all acts of hatred aimed in my direction.

You are approaching the situation solely from the point of view of FL, whom you consider disadvantaged first by fate, now because of the dislike of colleagues. You are not looking at the situation from the point of view of the work environment. You emphasize microaggressions toward FL, I see microaggressions by the boss toward MW. From MW's point of view, his colleague has disrupted discipline, brought chaos to the company, and will suffer no consequences for it. He is a dedicated employee who would be fired for the same thing. If FL does not suffer any punishment, it means she is privileged in their work environment. Either FL is an advocate and works in their company on the same terms as everyone else, or she is the boss's pet and is allowed more than others. Let's leave autism out of it. This is not a company that cares for special people. There everyone is equal. MW treated her like any other person. It seems to me that for FL he was much nicer than for 2FL, and this one doesn't have difficulties after all.
FL may have autism, but she is a genius. MW doesn't have autism, but he had to earn everything with hard work. He just wants equal treatment for everyone, for himself too. Either everyone has the same privileges, or no one has them. That's the only thing that's fair.

I think you don't understand what I mean.

The people you're talking about should feel honored by the honor of being noticed by a true fan, just... Why does someone who considers himself a true fan forget the three views? If I remember correctly it was something like: "there's my point of view, there's your point of view and there's the point of view of the person standing on the sidelines." It is truly intriguing that in a drama topic, instead of focusing on the drama, someone has enough time to talk ugly about others.
Maybe the person you are talking about is actually not a fan in your sense of being a fan? Maybe he likes the actor, but he doesn't like uncritical, bordering on fanaticism worship, because after all, the actor is just a man, not a god, so he's not perfect. And that person has just as much right to speak ill of a drama he hasn't seen as you have the right to speak well of a drama you haven't seen.
Or maybe this person is being paid a very large amount of money for every word written? Too bad we'll never know :)

Thank you for your good intentions. I appreciate someone standing up for me. It's not worth bothering with such accusations. I've heard too many of them since March 2020, all unfounded, like this one. I appreciate your gesture very much no less.
I've known about XZ since the fall of 2018, from FBS, but I've been more interested since July 2019. That's actually a long time. But apparently if someone isn't a fanatic, they can't be called a fan so, well, clearly I'm not a fan.

Don't you think your comment falls into the group of public slander? I have no idea what you're accusing me of, but you're doing it publicly, and you're doing it without evidence.

I went to your account and its activity makes one doubt your intentions except one - you want to slander me, or maybe provoke me. Anyone can compare our accounts, our activity and our comments and draw their own conclusions.

By the way, it's nice that you consider me such a big threat to defame me in public. The question is, what are you afraid of? But you know what, you don't have to answer. I'm not interested in that. Have fun hating MDL users.

PS. A real fan would never act as dishonorably as you. If you have any objections to me, you should have resolved them privately. Your hand would not wither by writing me a PM. And as far as I can remember, I have never spoken to you.

Thank you :)

The legal profession is very competent. It is very difficult to get into a large law firm. Many really capable attorneys do not have connections so there is no chance for such a job. He had no problem with FL being hired, but I understand his problem with FL not coming to work. This is a violation of discipline and any normal lawyer should be punished. If she is not punished, it will leave a signal to others that she gets special treatment. And that is simply not fair. If he just didn't come to work like this, he would be disciplined, and she won't suffer any punishment.
It is this kind of biased behavior by bosses that causes a rift in the workplace. Other employees begin to think that in the eyes of the boss they are not good enough in relation to this privileged person. This is a good starting point to show some problems and hostility in the workplace - to build a conflict for FL to overcome.

I wasn't here for a few days and saw that a certain discussion had heated up, probably because of me. I think someone may have even misunderstood me. Sorry about that. Let me clarify.

I am not a fan of either TLP or LLtG. I will probably laugh at both and bite my tongue to avoid criticizing them heavily. I don't favor either drama. Each has its own strengths and weaknesses. I'm watching LLtG and will be watching TLP. But that's not my point. My point is that from a marketing point of view, if a company has a bestseller, it tries to make the most money from it. If it has a weak production, it wants to erase the bad impression. I don't wish LLtG bad. I watch and have a great time, although for different reasons than most. I think there is room in the market for both dramas. All I meant was that people waiting for TLP should be aware that the release date of this drama is not etched in stone.

TLP's popularity will be huge regardless of whether it premieres in the summer or any other time of the year. We all know that. But the platform is not one drama, but dozens of productions. Tencent, like any other company, wants to make money. It's not just Zhan Zhan that brings them money, so their other productions also deserve proper respect, recognition and promotion. I personally prefer to watch the second season of LLtG instead of TLP, because I don't like to interrupt the story I'm following. If TLP was in LLtG's place I would say that I don't want to interrupt TLP....

Please, let's respect each other. I really just wanted us to look at the release date from an econmic point of view, not from the point of view of a pining fan. I'm not talking about Three Body drama because it belongs dfo a different genre and targets a different group of viewers, so it's not a direct competition. TLP and LLtG are rivals, but like two runners from the same national team competing for an Olympic medal. We may root for one more, but we won't wish the other to break his leg while running. We just want to watch a beautiful competition in which our favorite will win fairly.

I rather prefer realistic, dark stories, so for me LLtG is charming and fluffy. Those romantic scenes when he saves her life, when she pulls the arrow out of his wound with such concentration and he looks at her so romantically.... I really couldn't stop laughing, how from a potentially decent drama the production to satisfy the romance-hungry hearts of young girls turn a scene where you can really show the drama and fear and horror of the situation into a sweet and romantic "don't be afraid, I'm with you" and "from your hands I will endure any pain, I trust you."
And yes, ML is exceptionally funny and charming with his facial expression as if his mouth was filled with pins the whole time, with his arrogance and with the fact that his every entrance is shown as if Superman just appeared saving Loice Lane who is in distress.
I'm sorry if I offended your feelings, but when I expect the stench of war and get scenes dripping with romance, I can either cry from disappointment or laugh. I choose to laugh.

I am not satisfied with this drama. I think I'm tired of k-dramas about a bad cult. This drama gave me two impressions - boredom and distaste.

No worries, I haven't read the book but I have read a lot of spoilers.

I think screenwriters in China have a lot of problem with the requirements of the central bureau of radio and television and the image of the actor. China is very careful not to set bad examples for children to follow and Xiao Zhan is a white idol so I think he can't play anyone really evil or cruel. It's sad for Xiao Zhan because it limits him acting, but I understand that the state doesn't want children to grow up believing that it's good to commit genocide because Xiao Zhan murdered an entire tribe. So either this scene will be left out altogether, or SY will back out, or he will do it on some terrible impulse and regret it for the rest of his life. In my opinion, this thread will be completely omitted.

Fans of the book may not like SY's softened tone, but violent media create violent societies. Aggression in the media translates into aggression in real life. The state has to take care of educating the youth, and maybe that's why there are no school shootings in China.

ML is incredibly funny and adorable. If it weren't for him I would stop watching this drama, but every time I see scenes with him I burst out laughing.
But FL's war heroism is.... oh boy, really this drama has turned into a situational comedy.
I'm up to date and my rating of this drama keeps dropping, although ML and FL finally have cool interactions. But this is still less than 1% of the total plot.
The script just absolutely missed my taste. But at least ML is funny.
