It's rare to see Xu Kai drama with no cp (is that right?). It gives him a chance to showcase more range.

The director is Gary Sing who was the main director for Word of Honor. He was one of directors for 'Beauties of the Emperor," a Yu Zheng script in 2012.

It sounds like stories from people's childhood memories. That can be good or bad when adapted. It's like growing up reading Marvel comics and then they make a movie and it's either going to make you happy or mad.

they're lying to you

❤️

I wouldnt' worry about that. the score is decided by MDL admins anyway

Other dramas have similar or even worse currently watching and completed and verified during its' first week yet they get 8.6 but Moonlit Reunion got 7.6, but it's so typical for Xu Kai dramas

Ever since Moonlit Reunion, I noticed unusual user activity on MDL for Xu Kai. I don't recall like this before. There were always few haters coming around, but it just feels different to me since Moonlit Reunion. It feels like a paid trolling campaign, and I can't help but think it's an extension of whatever started back in August.

I just clicked on one from that same channel VTV and it is negative in my opinion. It contains negative undertones saying good things, but underneath is not, painting him as an actor who "relies on Yu Zheng for security,' makes it sound like Yu Zheng is his security blanket, that he was an actor playing supporting roles (not true), "not an overnight sensation," blah blah blah and all while, it's saying good things but people watching it who don't' know Xu Kai will come away with wrong impression even if the video says obvious good things. I am not going to waste my time, as soon as I see the negative undertone, I don't watch it. It's really a video to glorify Yu Zheng. I actually stopped clicking on them over a year ago once I caught on. Other actors don't have this kind of negative undertones. Theirs are their own paid promotional even calling them a "national treasure," and defending the slightest possible negative thing on them; not sure who is paying for these on Xu Kai, they're not genuine enough for me.

this director is also the screenwriter, his is also the director and screenwriter for The Knockout,

you're doing a great job answering questions! I really admired your efforts. I got a trojan virus using kisskh so I haven't been able to rewatch it properly. I'll watch it on either Disney Plus or Viki much later. I think I pretty much understand the ending, but the last episodes the subtitles on kisskh were awful. I won't be using that site again.

hmmm. so, I need to watch it on Viki too then.

You can pay for no ads. I watch without ads.

thanks. what I really want to do is just listen to his interviews. where can I find the articles of his interviews.

This one is interesting. They get Xu Kai surface level only. It's fascinating how they can't figure him out... that's because they don't know anything about him. The one thing they got right is that Xu Kai is unique in the industry.

I saw the most venomous YT video on Xu Kai yesterday — full of unjust and blatant lies, so cruel.

Thanks for sharing this — This one sounds like made by fans? I've never seen a positive YT video on XK even after searching. YouTube feeds me the negative ones. But I checked out the channel, I saw negative too.

user comments:

"Looking forward to Xu Kai unlocking 🔓 new roles, and also looking forward to the reasoning genius Ping'an County Magistrate Shi Wuming!! I like suspense dramas"

"When I was in junior high school, I was fortunate to watch several issues of the mystery world, and several cases left a deep impression, which belonged to the relatively early national style reasoning detective novels, and I hope they can be well adapted"

"This is really a childhood memory killing. The green mountains and green levels of An County, dreaming of the Tang Dynasty case always feel emotional."

"Oh huh, the series I chased during the high school magazine period came out'"

MDL is like this when it comes to Xu Kai. I don't expect much from them. I think MDL is simply biased and acts unfavorable toward Xu Kai in all aspects, especially the ratings. They do everything possible to make it less favorable for Xu kai dramas, time and time again. It's no coincidence.
