This drama is so good but I see alot of comments about not understanding the plot etc, I can't help but feel that…
It’s true for any cdrama. How can non Chinese person fully grasp it although they can still enjoy what they enjoy out of it. Maybe that’s why MDL ratings are skewed toward higher end.
Just don’t download anything but it’s still good to be cautious. I made mistake of downloading their ad blocker and I later i discovered a Trojan virus on my pc. They hide in files.
quality-wise this deserves more than or around 8.5. In fact, it started as 8.5, then went down. But oh MDL
Did you see currently watching is 7.76. Verified 7.13. MDL will not be kind to this drama. As long as they see slightest negativity they play to it it until it becomes reality. They not going to keep it at 8.3 until end like some drama that 8.3 all the way then drops at end. They benefit during airing. If they drop it during airing will influence viewers. Ratings is not what’s important here for Xu Kai. It’s what he’s trying to do step by step towards his goals and having to navigate professionally with his agency. He didn’t take on this for win or loss or for popularity or ratings or awards
I can see it on YouTube on Tencent channel. My mom has been watching there. She was watching the third episode…
You Tube is great if you don’t need English subtitles. I know someone who can usually find dramas on you tube while airing or so he says, but he doesn’t need Eng subtitles as long as there’s Chinese subtitles because he doesn’t understand Manarin but Chinese subtitles are better than English in terms of true meaning, he says. Chinese characters are the same meaning whether you speak Cantonese or Mandarin or any dialects. The only differences are things local or slang a person may not be familiar with meaning
At 57 votes and an 8.5 average, one one‑star review pulls the score down to 8.37, and two will drag it under 8.3. Small‑audience dramas are extremely volatile. Unlike Douban, MDL doesn’t show mix. Unlike Douban, MDL puts up a score right away influencing users.
Well they aren't unbiased . Have their own biases against those who are always attacked . Kai is someone who is…
MDL puts their own judgment into rating to a certain extent. Of course they’re not going to be obvious about it. If it’s an actor they don’t like and they sense enough negative sentiments to support down rating, they will take opportunity to feed that, which seems to happen to Xu Kai dramas. However, if it’s an actor they like and see sentiments are strong they will put up higher rating to make it reality. You know the drama is bad if they can’t even support a higher rating for their favorite actor. Then MDL will manipulate data patterns to match so all looks consistent as if it’s organic because patterns match for all ratings
So, here's another series where Xu Kai's popularity was used heavily to promote the show, but he's hardly been…
Screen time? Towards end of ep1 That ominous change in expression after his exchange with his father who then turned to walk away tells me something is seriously not okay like he’s worry about something bad. They cut the scene a few seconds too fast. Don’t ask me why but I can only watched ep 1 without any sound so far but I can already read Chen Hui body language and feel his emotions esp when he got up to ask doc something his demeanor and then the way he looked concern and heaviness like heartbreak in his heart and the way he looked back at her to give reassurance I know something is not right with FL. I have no idea what’s going on until I can watch it properly but Xu Kai’s acting has lot of depth in his use of body language especially facial expressions. His acting is grounded and genuine. So much happened in the first episode plot is moving at lightning speed
Are historical cdramas usually this gooood??This drama reminded me so much of Empress ki. Strong female lead,…
POJ is primarily a fantastic fairy‑tale fantasy, and only secondarily a fictional historical setting. Other dramas like JOL are fictional as well, but they focus more heavily on dynasty politics, incorporating clever make‑believe elements.

MDL steers the reaction to influence perception.
A 9 sparks curiosity.
A 7.8 sparks suspicion.
