I was hooked from eps 1, but I know many people get hooked on ep 12. It was also when the rating in Douban shot…
Many casts in TU, their acting is really over the top imho. It was perhaps TU was their first project or one of their earlier projects in the drama industry.
For me I love watching drama with a good script and good acting because my time is short and I don't blv in things that people should watch several episodes to get hook into the drama, said like 10 or 15 episodes because it's 10 hours or 15 hours in our life XD . Good drama will speak in their first episodes and I'm glad that I give WOH a chance.
I need an advice: between this and The Untamed which one should I watch first?
Tbh no correlation between WOH and TU, you can watch them separately. Just a matter of preference. If you like Xianxia then it's TU but if you like Wuxia then it's WOH.
For me, because TU released 2-3 years before WOH then I watched it first but I like WOH better because of the acting and the script. But again people hv different opinion.
Btw, does anyone have any links for kfans reactions to WOH? I did come across a few posts on twt but not much.…
From what I read in wb, they are slowly embracing WenZhou and JunZhe also our two main actors. Koreans fans created Naver Cafe (?) for Zhehan (PS: it's a forum in korean google version) and Gongjun got praised by many for his acting as well.
Bringing inconsistency of the beauty of shoulder blade in SHL. As we all know word "beautiful shoulder blade" is used many times during the show and WKX attracted to ZZS because of it as well, but it seems no one paid attention to this especially during epi 31 when literally A Xu shoulder blade is ruined by meat hook.
I translated some in English from the OP perspective.
----start translation----
In episode 32, when WKX rescuing A Xu and they come back to Four Season Manor by horse. A Xu's state when he was rescued is really not like the state he should have after the damage was done by meat hook. Especially the movement of his sleeves. Logically he can't move that freely and slight move will cause pain to the back muscles. His movement is not like an action that can be done when there are open and penetrating wounds on chest especially shoulder blade.
What's more, I have confidence in ZZH acting skills-he shows believable acting through his movements and expressions. However in episode 32 why he didn't show that he had suffered such a serious injury? Is that intentional or the script required him to do so?
Also some audience noticed that in episode 32 A Xu needed someone to help him dress and clean his hands. I think he is indeed weak, but this weakness is not so much from the shoulder blade being pierced by meat hook. From his movement alone audience can see that he looked exhausted from nail injury + whipping + long-term fatigue.
In episode 32 BTS, the scene when WKX rescuing A Xu. There is no blood stain on the left side and right side of his chest caused by meat hook. Is this is an error from the costume/props department or? Can we assume that no scenario of meat hook during the shooting so the costume/props department didn't make it?
The most important thing is, why is there such an inconsistent situation?
OP posted an evidence that the rescue scenes in epi 32 was filmed on August 6th and 7th, and the torture scene in epi 31 was filmed on September 16th.
The summary -----------------
The producer Ma Jie has said several times that SHL wasn't filmed is sequence, so that's the answer. it is reasonable to speculate that after the rescue scene was filmed, there was a certain creative decision was made to enhance the scene/story by adding meat hook during the torture scene. We don't know why such a decision was made. Maybe it was because word "shoulder blade being beautiful" was mentioned several times by WKX and that one alone making WKX attracted to A Xu from the beginning so "destroying it" will enhance the story. But they couldn't re-shoot the scene because perhaps of schedule conflict (?) so they only can do the editing during post production.
Remarks (I translated in English) - A selection of domestic web dramas that are well-evaluated in terms of quality and plot - The score marked as per DB original score - The drama reputation is good. - If the score is severely dropped, it will be deleted from the list. *** If the scores significantly different from the original score, it will be deleted; those that have fallen from 7.5 points and have a small number of scores will be deleted, but will be considered based on the quality of word-of-mouth; they will be deleted directly if they fall below 7 points
Please note that DB is harsh place and people there wouldn't be so generous when giving the drama score unlike MDL.
I thought ZZH is already a verified artist in Spotify? I don't know much about the verified status in Spotify…
In order to get verified artist badge on spotify you need management to claim your profile and submit it in spotify for artist. In this case GJ management has done it, but for ZZH I don't think they are aware that spotify can be a source of revenue stream too, lol.
While for ins, I don't know why they don't apply for verified artist account yet, perhaps they want their ins to be a personal account instead of business acct like weibo? Also they need to access ins with VPN too, lol.
Not JunJun getting verified on Spotify before Zhehan adkldksfhlkdhfj! I mean I know why ZZH isn’t verified but…
Industry wise, it's because the music label and the management really paid attention to the DSP (digital streaming platfrom) outside China. They finally aware that DSP outside China can generate revenue too :D.
Please stream the songs from the official channel platfrom (ie: spotify, apple music, QQ, kugou, netease music, etc). Don't stream it from some random channel in YT :D

But again people do have preference :D
Strangely compare to a lot of people, I was struggling to finish TU. I even dropped it in the middle then watched randomly.
He looks like Joo Jihoon oppa <3 <3

Glad you are giving WOH a chance.
I found some interesting piece in DB: https://www.douban.com/group/topic/230998597/
