Xu Kai went for dubbing in Oct 2023. In a recent interview when asked about regrets in general as an actor, he said there are always regrets as an actor, and he gave ABAY as an example. I know Xu Kai sets a high bar, so he is hard on himself, and never satisfied with his work, but he won't disappoint his fans. In SHPH, Xu Kai used his own voice recorded on the set because Xu Kai said that he was nervous that he might affect Yang Mi. I don't know if ABAY is all postproduction dubbing or they just go in to fix parts of it because he did it all in one day! pretty much right after he finished filming the other modern drama.

I love his little jump and squeal at the end

The comments I am pointing out is from gaming community could tell that there were some high impact scenes in the animation that cannot be filmed due to the high costs, and they could detect the tradeoffs made, so the acting skills really shined because the emotional impact was still felt. I feel that rating should not be comparisons to other dramas works because dynamics across dramas are totally different. Rating for a drama should solely be based on its own merits which SAF6 has achieved what it set out to do, restore the original work, restore the "heart and soul" of the story and the highly charged emotional impact of this tragedy was felt all the way through, and beautifully shot. There is so much merit to this drama, so much to enjoy and appreciate as an emotional drama, it deserves a lot of praise.

"fairy sword 6 game fans won't scold this show at all, after all, you 6 were almost expelled from the fairy sword series back then, they know that fairy 6 is not easy"

ratings are subjective, biased, and manipulated through algorithm using both user data and non-user data. There are over 10 million to 13 million people watching this drama if I read the broadcast tables right. MDL is tiny representation.

MDL is only one flawed rating system. Over at Douban, another flawed system, SAF6 has 5.0 versus SAF4 has 4.3.

Saying that it has financial constraints does not mean it was poorly done, but that they couldn't do more. I read at least 3 reviews with references to costs and benefits of doing scenes as if it was too costly to do everything the way it should be done. I feel the action scenes in SAF6 were beautiful and artistic. I love Xu Kai fighting Sea Monster scene, that was really AWESOME. I love the floating ship in the sky, which was beautifully recreated exactly like in the game, the drama made me feel like they were actually sailing in the sky. (perhaps it is costly to restore animation; after all animation is just software, but drama requires expensive human and capital costs, time and money)

Here from GENERAL MANAGER of SOFTSTAR, the technology company created Chinese Paladin games, he mentioned "financial problems" below:
www.douban.com/group/topic/301498588/?_i=71958121b9Coup,84215864bn3PmU

- "... seeing you work so hard to maintain the six dramas (SAF6), I am really moved, you have worked hard",
- "... it meets my expectations, and it is much, much better than I expected",
- "There must be a little regret, FINANCIAL PROBLEMS, such as the human nature part of Yinghui Castle was not filmed, the highlight scene of the second sister and Linyuan, but the flaws are not hidden, I hope you can go and watch the game video, you will have more feelings"

- "The most praiseworthy part, one is the original Han embroidery of the drama version, the second is the fullness of the double crossing line, the third is the circle of various regrets in the small Shifang game, and the fourth is the tandem sublimation of the world furnace DLC (that is, Ji Da Niang...... It's all part I didn't expect, an UNEXPECTED SURPRISE. Having said so much, I didn't mention the ACTING SKILLS of the actors, because there is really NOTHING TO CRITICIZE, and I was very surprised by at least five of the six leading actors, ESPECIALLY YU SHUXIN AND XU KAI. Yu Shuxin must have put a lot of effort into the egg noodles, so she could fully feel Qi's state of mind to complete this scene at one time, including the look in her eyes when she left, "she didn't say goodbye", and her growth in the end, "more and more like today". Xu Kai brought me a lot of surprises, and I was impressed by his acting skills while sighing that he was really handsome. The most recent time was the moment when he was hit in the big war and the death of the present dynasty that HE RELIED ON HIS OWN UNDERSTANDING AND DEDUCTION, I FULLY BELIEVE THAT HE IS THE PRESENT DYNASTY, so that the tears that were not given to the present dynasty in the game are given to the present dynasty in the play, and THIS INTERPRETATION IS MORE PROFOUND THAN THE GAME. Yu Shuxin wrote two small essays to Qi, and her understanding of Qi is different from what I used to see, and she has been recognized by the playwright. It shows how much the Six (SAF6) Actors cherish the story and respect the game. (I feel Esther has improved the character in the drama).

Such a work with high intentions, full of characters, full of chivalry and sincerity, I believe there is a long-tail effect, I hope it is good, so that more people can see it, and I really thank you again for your company and the presentation of the main creative team. Our power may be small, but it is precious.

My excitement went from the first time I bought it yesterday, and I CRIED to tremble today's red eyes + swollen eye bubbles, all the way down is really INDESCRIBABLE, this feeling is difficult to explain no matter what, and a thousand words turn into a word of thanks.

No one is really criticizing you. You offer an opinion so others will offer theirs. Why are you so upset? You say it is superficial and I say it has depth. Then you accuse others of being unreasonable. Posting a comment will invite response. Actually, I 'm wondering if you're just trying to incite anger? I'm not accusing you, just telling you how it feels to me.

I'm not criticizing you or trying to change your mind. I see comments and I want to offer a different opinion. You mentioned 'brainless' people want to watch WOL and I'm just saying that it's the opposite because it's deeper. But I respect your opinion and I actually understand where you're coming from, but I also see merits too, but the part that I wholeheartedly disagree on is you think only 'brainless' or more tactfully, people don't want to think, just want to watch romance. I see so much more in this drama. It's not an immature or silly romance; on the contrary, it feels too real-life. If Xu Kai dramas were all "brainless" romance like a lot of American movies, I wouldn't bother to watch any of his dramas and stop watching his interviews. Every character he portrays has depth in my opinion, and that is why I'm a fan, not the other way around. In fact, there is so much humanity in this drama, a psychology student could write an essay on it.

I came across a comment the person said watching Xu Kai dramas helped them through their cancer treatments. That really struck me the impact Xu Kai and other actors have on their fans.

Can you name a drama that has no annoying character?

well then, you're really limiting yourself in Chinese dramas.

Why is this such a joyful sight? Look closely at Seven Tan's face as he picks her up. She seems surprised by it. It almost seems like she wasn't expecting to be picked up. They were supposed to do a running scene. Maybe they'll put it in the drama?

Esther Yu must be a very nice person for such a fan as you to like her as a person so much.

of course I will say yes, but it all depends on your tastes

Okay

I read that SAF6 had financial issues so it couldn't create the big expensive special effect types of scenes. It had to consider costs and benefits of doing each scene so there were a lot of tradeoffs and they had to cut good scenes that are too costly. Also, they used an unknown director whose style is more measured. This drama feels like watching a play unfolding on stage depending heavily on the actors' performances which they delivered, and some fighting scenes feel like watching a dance production, beautifully choreographed and artistic. If the drama has bigger funding and bigger name director, maybe it would have bigger more dramatic fighting and emotional scenes but honestly, the drama turned out just fine. It became a delicate emotional and mature drama. It restored the theme, characters personalities (except Bian which Xu Kai went beyond the script), the heart and soul, and mood of the game, and satisfied the gaming community as the only true adaptation of Chinese Paladin game. If the viewer is interested in a captivating story, solid cast, great chemistry, adorable romance, forever loyal friends, lots of character developments, superb acting, powerful and emotional story of tragedy, honor and sacrifice, and much more, then this drama will find its way to their hearts.

Every drama has music in the background. AJTL was even louder (during romance and interactions), so I don't find SAF6 that different than dramas today? But SAF6 is restoring the mood in the game which had constant music playing the whole time. Was the volume the same as the drama? I would say it is similar but the music in the game has traditional Chinese sounds (I think it's the guqin?) mixed in, so it tones it down. I really liked the music in the game, even more than the drama because the sounds are interesting and complex and sometimes dramatic.
This storytelling is considered a classic by some, and the drama follows it very closely especially the ending it practically restored it action by action, line by line, scene by scene, except for the two leads outcome which in the epilogue of the game, it was bland like there it was, no explanation, but the drama I thought made it much more interesting and thought provoking.
Xu Kai and Esther acting is outstanding especially in certain scenes, they really rose to the occasion. The acting of the cast more than offsets any loud music.

"Before completing the exchange and walking out of the fog soul, when he felt that the existence of Bian Luohuan was about to be erased and felt unacceptable for a while, he immediately said, "As long as his faith and mission are in our hearts, even if we no longer remember him, then he is still alive." This is the place where Bian Luohuan and the Yue Dynasty are truly unified, and it is also the place where the Yue Jin Dynasty is worthy of the name of "future"."

"Just like Yue Qi said when he was about to forget Bian, even if he doesn't remember this person, his spirit will remain in everyone's hearts. So no matter what, it exists in such a form."

Reincarnation will be born into a different body and different lifetime. That is not Qi and Jinzaho. They were reborn into the same body and same lifetime minus the memories and gets a new start. They are still the same Qi and Jinzhao as before. The fish pendant will help them to resonant again.
