Day 118, almost a wrap

You say his fans are crazy, but you are also quite obsessed with Xu Kai. You say XK fans are toxic. Have you seen what you wrote?

Xu Kai is on his own journey.

Anyway, On March 15, 2024, Jeremy Tsui announced on his personal Weibo his retirement as an actor.

I"m glad you like Luo Yunxi, is it okay if someone else like Xu Kai?

Luo Xun Yi is 35, Jeremy Tsui is 38, and Allen Ren is 35, while Xu Kai is 29. They're much older than him. XK is not the only actor who will turn 30 next year. What does age matter anyway, I think you worry too much.

In an in interview, XK was asked and he said he does not compete with others, only compete with himself. If XK is not worry, you shouldn't worry either.

Who cares what level some other actor is at? I just wish for XK to keep getting better. I don't care if some other actor is better than him. There's always going to be someone better than you in life. That's why when XK says he just focus on himself, is the right attitude.

In an interview, when asked, XK said "everyone gets old and cannot stay an idol actor forever".

What you see is not others see, is that okay? I don't see any of his roles as "similar". Every character is unique. Till the End of the Moon has a Douban score of 5.6 with 13% perfect 10's, while WOL has a Douban score of 6.7 to 6.8 (keeps going back and forth) and 21% perfect 10's. I'd say Xu Kai is doing fine lately. Xu Kai was praised highly in SAF& for his dual roles playing two opposite characters in the same drama in the same time period. In WOL, he plays a warrior scout and a crown prince. In SAF6, he plays a teenager. How is that playing "similar" roles? His role as Yang Hua is masterful if you get it. Yang Hua is a nerd, and it was XK first modern drama and first time using his voice. I've been around a lot of young nerds. XK mannerisms resembled a nerd to me.

Yanxi Palace has 70 episodes and BCE has only 37. In terms of percentage of screen time on a drama, he has more screen time on BCE.

Luo Yun Xi was trained to be a dancer at the age of 5 by his father who is a dance teacher. He performed as a professional ballet dancer for 11 yrs. At the age of 17, he attended Shanghai Theatre Academy. He has been acting for 11 years now.

Don't you know that not everyone sees the same thing as you?
I give you a good example. While AJTL was airing, I saw someone comment that LSS acting is wooden. I think LSS is very expressive. So not everyone sees the same thing.

What people like is subjective. People can like whatever they want. If you offer your opinion, someone else has the right to offer their opinion too. That doesn't make them toxic.

Other actors also are paired with more experienced actors than them so why do you only point out Xu Kai.

Have you ever read other actors' fans comments on their favorite actor? They only say nice things about them. Are those fans toxic too?

Maybe Xu Kai doesn't care if Bai Lu is bigger than him? Did you ask Xu Kai if he cares? So why do you care?

I love your comment about picking berries because what you said is so true.

There is an intergenerational gap between mother and daughter. It's natural that mother will nag her. The mother comes from a whole different world perspective. The gap is not just their age differences, but also their differences in culture, education, technology, finances, and just about everything else. The mother daughter does not understand each other because they don't really talk to each other. One nags, the other obeys. As MCH said to YZM, it's a love hate relationship. It's not until the end of the drama when the daughter can visit her mother's childhood past, that she understands her mother and the two finally come to terms with each other.

I was really surprised that the father was so sincere. The drama made the father out to be a horrible person, so I was not expecting it. He was actually a nice man, interesting character, and full of personality, and he actually is not rotten all the way through, he actually has a good heart. The drama does not explain his past life, so I don't know how a man like him with grandma for a mother ended up so bad but when he got of prison, he is still a jerk outwardly, but inwardly, he has a good heart. They made him so nice and then they made YZM changed his heart toward his father and was happy to have him back, then suddenly out of nowhere, he gets hit by a car in the most heartbreaking way. When the car hit him, he was lying in a pool of blood, I was in horror. I was just as devasted as YZM, how cruel life is to him. But of course, the drama was always about him finding a home with the Mai family, so despite the missed opportunity with his father, he is very happy to find a loving family. There is such a compelling story of YZM life that left me wanting to know more about his past.

"Yang Zi's closing essay is really moving, she treats the characters she plays as real people, she believes in their existence, so she can empathize with their emotions, which is really moving"

"I haven't seen so so's drama before, and I often see other groups saying that he is cold, and he is hidden Some time ago, the vision group had a post about him, and the post was blatantly black, and no one spoke for him... However, Mr. Yao broke all the brainwashing bags This kind of top handsome guy should act in more modern dramas so that he can undoubtedly reveal his good figure... And Mr. Yao's voice is so good, it's perfect"

"Until this time Cheng Huanji, this time I watched it because Yang Zi watched it, but Xu Kai directly broke my impression of him, how can he be spicy Su, spicy and handsome, and his acting skills are also very natural, not oily at all!"

YZM is not perfect. He used to be selfish and cold. He came back for hotel, not grandma. He resented his grandma for a long time, and never forgave his dad, until it was too late. By the time, he realized his dad changed, it was his own bitterness that wouldn't allow him to change.

I just remember how his fingers were trembling too. There was so much to XK expressions in his eyes, mouth, etc. and body language in these scenes. But I won't watch it again, it's way too sad.

There are different acting styles and no wrong style of acting. Actors use more than one style depending on what is required. Some actors are more forced acting, while others are more low key, natural, subtle and nuanced which is how I see Xu Kai acting style and it seems to suit him well. Which style of acting appeals to a viewer is subjective to their tastes. For example, the fl, LSS, in AJTL, I read someone described her acting as "wooden' but oh my gosh, she is so expressive to me.
