But you missed the whole point of true love that will do anything to protect the one he loves. This was my first fantasy immortal drama - I knew nothing about these fantasy worlds, so it was not easy to understand at first try or second try. Because I wanted to understand the meaning of this love story, I had to watch many scenes over and over again digesting the subtitles while trying to watch the actors faces, to make sense of the plot.

ZDY doesn't' do costume dramas. ALP is the only costume drama she's ever done. Maybe they can do modern drama together. She is only 3 yrs older than XK. There would definitely be an anticipation for their pairing. ZDY is a post 90 Big Four Dan actress.

When Baijue was "cruel" to Shanggu, I felt so bad for Baijue knowing how heartbroken he was for having to do that. How can anyone be watching this movie hate Baijue? It must be viewers who skip episodes and scenes. The brilliance of Xu Kai's acting was that he could display coldness toward her, and yet throughout his portrayal, you knew he was aching inside for having to be so cruel. Did they not see the final scene after God Realm was restored in ep 47 when they parted ways, and as she walked away, the camera zoomed at Baijue, he was totally heartbroken trying to contain himself. Did they not see the anguish, guilt, regret in his face and the heavy heart the way he was heaving, sighing or breathing, trying to hold back his emotions and not to cry but yet crying silently. Then he turned to look at her from a distant and turned his head again, feeling so desperate and unsure. There were so many amazing emotional scenes but this one was gripping. Xu Kai acting in this scene was definitely on par with such a great actress as ZDY. To me, ALP is one of XK best acting because he is a visual, expressive, emotional actor. His face was perfect for all the emotions he got out of a full face. I'm glad XK is slimmer these days but I feel his face is a bit too thin these days and lost some expressions.

ALP is a beautiful, impressive, charming, emotional, touching, and memorable timeless love story. XK and ZDY convey their emotions so powerfully that one empathizes with the characters throughout the drama. Some people have mocked Xu Kai’s “plump” face, but I have a different opinion. I believe his fuller face enhanced his performance in ALP, because it showed more expression and depth of emotion. His face was perfect for this drama!

The love depicted in this movie is as deep as it gets, and it’s the most tender movie I’ve ever watched.

ZDY is an amazing actress. Xu Kai was great in it but without ZDY I'm not sure that this movie would be the same because her acting is so strong and emotional, funny and childish when it needed to me, sad and matured when it needed to be. In fact, the entire cast was perfect and added to the chemistry of their love story as well as creating their own chemistry with the ones they love. Both leads were able to display such deep emotions that made the love believable.

I wonder if this is how Han Ting was in the novel or Xu Kai added these gestures for Han Ting?

I watch Xu Kai interviews and I am very impressed. He has great attitude about everything. No need to worry about him.

Yes, I enjoy Autumn Fairy Tale. I first noticed ZLS in that movie. I didn't know who she was before. I was watching it to check out Xu Kai's acting, but she was the star of the movie, and I noticed this girl is really good actress. I enjoyed Xu Kai's acting in Autumn Fairy Tale. Both of them are naturally good actors. I always remember the sentimental scene of ZLS and XK when they danced and afterwards, they stood at the overpass talking about their sad lives. It was so natural like real-life conversation, but they were charming together. I felt like these two should be soul mates in this drama, but she loved the ml more. XK was sml since he was an unknown at the time.
Also, 2FL in AMA is awesome. I felt she should have won a Best Supporting Actress award. She was good in Dance of Sky Empire too. Her looks fit her role as Saintess in that clan. Her emotions are good.

I'm looking forward to seeing He Rui Xian because I think she's a very good actress. I very much enjoyed her portrayal of Yin Ziping in Royal Feast, one of my top Xu Kai dramas. Whatever character she's going to play, she will bring it to life full of strong personality. From what I can tell, she tends to play strong gutsy characters.

I rewatch the trailer and noticed that Han Ting likes to gently caress Ji Xing's head with his hands or brush the side of her hair, ever so gently, I feel like he's handling something very fragile.

@VorXuKai video interview from 9 months ago:
Interviewer: Who would you like to walk on the red carpet with tonight?
Xu Kai: Mr. Hu Ge because I'm a Sword Fairy (Chinese Paladin) fan. Although Mr. Hu Ge can't hear it, but it's enough to keep this love in my heart.

Will CP6 have to deal with the high standards and pressure set by CP1 and CP3 which received rare Doubon ratings of 9.1 and 9.0, respectively, and which starred the legendary Hu Ge? Was this a risky role to take on as undoubtedly there will be comparisons.

I think the viewership from SOKP did not carry over to WOL. Then as SOKP and WOL is finished airing, the popular AJTL aired which again took potential viewers away from WOL. I think WOL is not the kind of drama that will draw a wide audience, but the viewership could have done much better if it did not air at the same time as SOKP, OFL, and right before AJTL. SOKP dropped out of nowhere and surprised everyone. It had huge pent-up demand having been delayed for so many months. There was something like 7 million reservations before it aired. SOKP airing the same time as OFL helped OFL big time (that drama got a lot of bad reviews despite its popularity) but hurt WOL, although it managed to gain #2 spot. Perhaps WOL has the potential to do better outside of China, if people can find the movie. During streaming of WOL, it was #1 on WeTV Indonesia. FIYS to this day is still #1 on WeTV in the Phillipines is what someone on You Tube wrote in the comments. Xu Kai is very popular outside of China.

I think Xu Kai is trying to stay focus unless it is to promote his drama. It is more important to him to focus on his work. It shows that he is not hung up on popularity, but serious about his career. This popularity thing has a downside too. I give him another 3 years (still only be 31 looking like 26) and his star will shine even brighter.

The amazing @VorXuKai showed a video of Xu Kai explaining his own personal history with this fairytale (English subtitles):
Interviewer: I heard that you first liked acting because of a fantasy "The Legend of Sword and Fairy"?
Xu Kai: "Yes, because when I was young, when internet in every household is not as developed as now, we are all playing some Jin Yong games or fairy sword. The Fairy sword was originally a games Come to stand-alone game to break through the TV series. (Jin Yong, wuxia novelist, author of the Condor Trilogy). At that time, a fairy tale legend became popular. When I saw it, I'm like OMG, Hu Ge (actor) and Li Xiaoyao (main protagonist) are so beautiful, exactly the same.
I thought I'd come too play like this".

And finally, Xu Kai dream came true with this drama. Way to go Xu Kai. Wish you success.

I found this movie on You Tube because I was looking through Xu Kai list of dramas on MDL.
It looks like a well-done movie with the amazing actress Ni Ni in it. On You Tube it says the film has been edited and is not the original version but still worth watching. . Just browsing through, I spotted Xu Kai momentarily in couple of scenes. I will watch it just for the acting and scenery. I really like the top tier beautiful talented actress Ni Ni. I feel for the struggles of so many Chinese people during those turbulent times. Life was so hard for many.

Most Asians look 5 yrs. younger than their real age. Having a youthful look is not a bad thing. XK will have a long career if he doesn't burn out first making so many dramas. I don't know how old Han Ting is supposed to be but I'm guessing same age as XK. I would not expect an Asian man before 30 to look that mature. However, I'm interested in how XK will interpret and portray Han Ting's personality, character, and professionalism. I would guess that Han Ting, as a venture capitalist in Beijing, should display certain personality traits like intelligence, ambition, extroverted, methodical, passionate, rational, strategic, collaborative, and energetic. But no one is perfect. What are his negatives? Is he ethical? What are his morals or boundaries? What are his values and principles? Is he self-interested and opportunistic? Will he disregard Ji Xing in favor of another project when things go wrong? How does he deal with mixing personal relationship with work relationship. Looks are deceiving so I'm okay with him not looking fierce but how he deals with things should be fierce or aggressive. Is he a kind person or terrible person?

I enjoy all his dramas. Few people mention Dance of the Sky Empire that is another good one, only 28 episodes, and very easy to watch. It is still available to watch for free on Amazon Prime.

It's hard to see emotions when the character is supposed to be cold, but I can see Bai Jue aloofness toward everyone around him because Xu Kai visuals.

Both Xu Kai and Seven Tan are great at comedy. I am wondering if they do a comedy drama, it would be hilarious.

But I hope Xu Kai to do more serious roles that have similar style of acting as in AMA.

Jack Nicholson is not a handsome man but a great actor. He didn't have great looks, but he had tons of personality, charm, passion, etc.
