Haha that’s ok. I like XK bc of his looks, not his acting anyways. Fl isn’t known in the industry for being…
I like XK gentlemanly looks and his visual acting. He is able to express emotions in a very subtle and nuanced way and convey emotions through his eyes alone. His acting pulls me into his character's emotions. That is why he was so good in The Story of Yanxi Palace that propelled him into acting. When he got his first acting role in Zhaoge (which never aired), he was so excited, he called his parents. They told him, if he can do it, do it, if not, don't do it. He thought he do it, make some money, then return home to help his parents, but he must have done well. Early on, he was always worried he might lose the roles, but the rest is history. Xu Kai has natural talent to do a lot of things he never had formal training in. He is a hardworking, humble guy, trying to get better at the craft. I believe in him and wish him much success.
All the young actors work hard. I don't know how they find time.
Tan Song Yun is not Miss Universe type of beauty, but she is very attractive in her own way. She has big bright beautiful eyes and a mouth that makes the sweetest smile that can light up a room. She is talented and charming. She can sing beautifully and I can feel her emotions in her singing. Her acting is full of emotions and passion. What more can you ask?
It’s funny how everybody expects Smiling to be a smiley girl, when actually she chose that name because she…
I know nothing about the story beforehand; but I felt what you described from watching the movie. The chemistry is in how different the two people are and how when they are together, they make each other better. I felt both leads portrayed these differences that makes them fall for each other.
I really enjoyed the show, but I was disappointed that the writer decided to make Lu Si Cheng act like an immature,…
it's the way she grew up. her parents are extremely protective of her. she's not as experienced as the guy. her facial expressions I thought perfectly captured it; apparently, he's had some experience the way he moves on her.
I really like the drama but I can’t bring myself to like the fl. She isn’t pretty and her acting skills are…
It's not the actress. It's because not everyone sees the same thing when we watch the same movie. I see the character she is portraying, and I see the connection between the fl personality and ml personality. I saw it the moment she got in that elevator with her arms full of groceries and couldn't reach her floor number and he does it for her. I saw it when she was at the store hiding the gallon of water and then he sees her and goes to get it off the highest shelf. I saw it when he took her to the store to buy provisions and she couldn't reach the slippers. It's a very cute bond they eventually develop for each other as they grow and learn together as gaming teammates. He is supposed to be older, wiser, and more experienced than her and he is and does protect her and help her and give her good advice; but in the end, it's really her who became the backbone behind him. It just goes to show no one is perfect and sometimes in life, you think someone is weaker than you, but they can help you too. He's this perfect guy who doesn't' really know how to have fun until she shows up. There is a line he says in the movie that I never forgot. it goes something like "love is a spark that comes out of nowhere, it just happens" (went something like that. I'd have to find the scene again to quote it exact). It just may not be the kind of romance you were hoping for. I felt the fl was an intelligent, compassionate and courageous girl who knew what she wanted and not afraid to pursue her dream even in a guy's world, which is not easy. Her personality makes sense to me since she's basically a nerdy girl. She was an only child, and her parents are very protective of her. She is young and unsophisticated and has to rely on her more experienced girlfriend for advice. The ml comes from a wealthy family and his mother is very domineering, so he is mature, sophisticated, intelligent, competent in many things, and has great deal of knowledge and understanding of a lot of things. But he is complex in that he has many sides to him. He is also a nerd playing games all day long.
Can someone recommend me more Xu Kai dramas in modern roles like this one?
Have you tried his Republican era drama "Arsenal Military Academy" which he won Best Actor award for his incredible portrayal of Gu Yanzhen? I wished he could get more roles that allow him to be serious and just act naturally. In AMA, he is serious character, yet charming and funny all at the same time. I feel we have not yet seen his full potential.
In You Tube comment, someone wrote that FIYS is still #1 on WeTV Philippines. I believe it. This movie is amazing. The entire cast has chemistry. It's a movie that will be loved for a very long time.
"I just finished Falling Into Your Smile last week. I didn't know that this was released in 2021 because it's still Number 1 in WeTV PH up to now"
Doubon rating for AMA was only 6.6 with 63,636 ratings, yet this was a fabulous movie and the two leads got best actor/actress awards. Doubon ratings are not that meaningful.
after reading novel i can clearly say that tan songyun is most perfect for this role because she has done some…
This should be one of XK more challenging roles because it is out of his comfort zone. He has to emulate someone that he has no understanding of the Venture Capital industry that Han Ting operates in. But I have confidence in XK. I am rooting for him to do well.
In FIYS, he had two fish he called his sons. In SHPH, he had a turtle called God of Wealth. I wonder what will be in this movie?

I have watched two of her modern movies and I agree with you. She is a talented actress who can portray any character with authenticity and emotion. I admire her genuine and sincere performance.
I found reviews on this novel so I could better understand the story beforehand. The first story is about Ji Xing's journey to achieve her dream. Apparently, she is what is known as Beipiao or "drifter" in Beijing, dream chasers, those who work in Beijing but do not have permanent resident status. They left their hometowns and aspired to realize their dreams in this metropolis despite the many challenges of a hard life. Now I understand why the Chinese title for this Drama is called As Beautiful As Beijing. This drama is based on the second story about Han Ting and Ji Xing working together. The other title I came across You are More Beautiful than the Stars is in reference to her last name Xing means Star, or that they are both stars in the industry, or the beautiful night sky of Beijing when they go star gazing. The reviews were all great. Seems readers really love Han Ting and only a few are irritated by Ji Xing. There is always that one lone horrible review of female character. I would have expected the opposite since I thought Han Ting is supposed to be a "cold CEO" type. Apparently, Han Ting taught her a lot. There is a lot of angst in this story. I saw in the trailer that Han Ting can shed a river of tears, something I did not expect to see if he is supposed to be a "cold" person. The technology subject is AI Healthcare and AI is a hot topic these days although not as big in healthcare yet (?). I hope the drama delves into the business world and technology aspects. The novel follows their relationship really far into their lives. I wonder how far in the relationship does the drama take it to.

Thanks Krish728. How could I not know that Xing means Star. The female character's name means star. To Han Ting, she is the most beautiful thing in the universe because what can shine brighter than the all the stars in the universe? Han Ting is into money and material things, so hopefully, he will discover she is more valuable.
The Chinese name for this movie is "You Are More Beautiful Than The Stars". To me, this is very different than…
I saw in the new trailer, during their heartbreak, she is in bed, holding up a necklace that has a star and a moon, obviously, Han Ting must have given it to her. He is sitting somewhere out there, lonely and sad, holding a sparkler that sparkles like stars. Also, they go star gazing together. That made me think about the title You are more beautiful than the stars. I wonder what the meaning behind stars in this movie.
I love these descriptions from a review I read: "Xu Kai's amorous gaze" "Jing Tian's seductive smiles" "A crazy alchemy" "Their complicity is so palpable" "Lead couple is to die for"
I can't help but think that even though this love story is referred to as a "love-hate" relationship, these two never really hated each other, except when they first met. Take for example, when Li Ni has to sleep on the floor, Cui Lin throws him a blanket knowing how cold the floor is. The next morning, Li Ni is up first, and he puts the blanket over her and smiles at her before leaving. When Li Ni asked for his mother's beads back, she refuses to give it back because she doesn't want to end their relationship, he tugs it out of her hands and burns her hand, he is concern for her hands even though he is mad. When they argued at Wonderland, she walks away, but he grabs her and kisses her to let her know he loves her. Even though the next morning, she gives him grief that their consummation is not a big deal and that she will not suffer any loss since she will kill him and make her son the emperor. He is appalled but then the scene shifts to Li Ni daydreaming on the job, he could only think of how sweet the night before was. It was a big deal to him. It was his first time, their first time. Whatever she said didn't affect him.
I wrote down these words to the song sung so beautifully and emotionally by Tan Song Yun, a true artist! The song gives clues to the tense relationship between the leads.
"Boundary"
Once again, you stood opposite me, telling about a world I am unfamiliar with, those that seem far away, but lies between you and me, test each other to see who crosses the border first.
If I can get closer to you, can memories be overlapped slightly, make loneliness at least safe?
Don't let understanding become an adventure. We stick to our point of view, having set expectations, and being in a dilemma, always hope that the other party will be soft-hearted, before you feel at ease.
Pretend love has nothing to do with winning or losing.
Going round and round, testing in detours, only then can I be calm, there is no natural perfection.
Although the sweater is warm, but it feels painful, trying to get used to it is also a kind of bravery.

Don't look forward to ask for the other person's answer and make a judgment. It's unbearable that the love has become a game of exchange.
in the bts, when Hang Ting swoop up Ji Xing in her wedding dress, he bounced her up and down in his arms. If I understood Xu Kai interview, he added that to the scene. He said that sometimes the girl is not comfortable position, so he did it partly to adjust her position make her more comfortable and also, she's very light. That sounds so Xu Kai, just like in WOL, he shouted three times to Cui Lin he wanted to marry her when the director only needed him to say it once.

Ji Xing: About Dreams, Everyone talks it unrealistically.
Han Ting: About Love, No one talks about it.
HT: You may be a piece of Gold but there is Gold everywhere in this city.
JX: Gold will always shine. No one can suppress anyone else's light.
JX: It turns out that Angel Investors are not necessarily angels.
HT: When you walk with the devil, you have to give your sincerity.
HT: The Love I think lasts until the end of time.
JX: Love is the eternal subject of life.
HT: Only when we look back can we make a conclusion.
JX: I want to stand by your side and conspire with you throughout my life.
JX: The universe is so vast. Everyone is a star.
HT: And you are the most dazzling one among the stars.
