He has given back to back good performances. Dramas are about entertainment and this guy is an entertainer. The dramas you are talking about...are both fun to watch. What you are referring to is a recency bias. It has always existed on MDL and its the same for all artists. I generally ignore recency bias but here, I voted for him because I have watched both his dramas...a lot of people have!
Both genres he performed in naturally attracts audience so its not a surprise that a lot of people watched it for comfort and voted for him. Ngl, I was a bit surprised too because MDL had kdrama bias since many many years...but its good to see many cdrama actors here.

Here to say that...my man deserves the main lead..
We deserve to see him as the main lead

Yeah...Can't wait for season..They can make her dead in S2 and he can move on with someone else??

The romance is disappointing indeed but doesn't affect the drama much because its not important. He has soo much chemistry with all other women.

I have been watching asian dramas since forever now. He delivers the entertainment package every time and the voting 🗳 list proves that.

Liu Yuning rules this first half. He killed it !

The ML's biggest mistake was not guarding against the FL and blurring lines between personal and professional life. She continued spying...and holding secrets but he stopped spying mid way. He also wanted to establish normal relations with the sister in law (after her betrayal) for her sake...when she didn't deserve it.
All of this happened because he didn't guard enough against the Qiaos. He managed to punish Lady Yu but... its the Qiaos who failed him and the FL couldn't be of much help because she was soo blind when it came to her family. A General should not act like that...if she was blindly biased towards her own, he should have held his own

Its not only NH who is completely different but also NH's mother and the FL's sister.
In the ep 15 and 16...you see more and more of those discrepancies which makes it clear that these characters are quite different

My friend, Have you seen English in ancient times? Chemistry equations? This was a historical drama script...but after the FL entered it, it became something very very different. I believe, the script is now a xianxia! So, the historical accuracy here doesn't matter at all.

That's the whole point of comedy. She mocked the heroine but she trusted the mask guy because she didn't read about him...and she is confident that he isn't the villain. Hence, he is some kind hearted but ignored character in her eyes

The FL is quite confident that its the script guy...but she fails to see that even the sister isn't acting according to the script...I wonder if the writer has changed the script altogether? There was no mask guy when she read it

So, that mask guy is ML's alter ego.
Also, when she enters the world, the characters don't follow the script...and therefore, she doesn't know about the alter ego dude. Everything she read in the original script doesn't make sense anymore but she doesn't know that. She hates the Ml simply because she thinks he is from that script. Apparently not! The characters are quite different

She loved the money 💰 🤑 she has been getting. She only doesn't like the ML because she thinks...she knows him and her sister ...because she has read the script.

I am baffled by the fact that SOO MANY PEOPLE IN THE COMMENTS don't understand the drama or satire 😒🙄 . The script was actually parodying the tragic cdramas we have seen. Omg! And because the scripy was cliché and mocking those tragedies, it was funny. Are these new cdrama fans??
Secondly, no! The script isn't the drama and it has been made very clear because neither the ML and nor the Sister's character follow the script we know. Their characters are slowly getting unfolded. The FL went in with preconceived notions...and while I understand the FL, I am failing to understand the viewers who just can't let go of the script they first saw (which was shown for satire purposes ). Jeez...move on from it. Not even the FL blamed the ML that much simply because of prejudice...what's wrong with these folks?

I personally thought the writers failed her in the sense that she became the reason for wars.
All her strategies failed. The best she could do ...was to do some damage control. The tunnel she made was used for bad purpose, the sistet she sacrificed for betrayed her and taunted her...the land that she wanted to protect to fulfill her grandfather's dream ...was broken by her uncle and cousin. All in all, her family had many villains that betrayed the ML's family many times. That weakened her character

Had to reply because its the worst review of the drama that I have read. Its misinformation for those who are looking for genuine reviews.
The writer wrote the ML and the sister as villains in a cliché script which was meant to mock many of the cdramas we have seen in the past. Those scenes are funny to people who can identify that they are parodying certain highly dramatic dramas. Jeez!!

In the drama, the real character of the ML is not known to anyone...not even to the FL who is surprised by multiple changes in the script. His character unfolds slowly.

Its alright....but not as good as the cdramas that had same concept. People who have seen this genres for years...feel that 8 is decent ranking for it

He isn't even the guy from the script...the sister isn't even the sister from the script. Jeez...what are people going on about? The whole meta part of the story...ya'll have eaten up

Kind of ...justice is partially served and then it ends on a big cliffhanger.

You have to understand that NH is not actually the NH from the novel that she read. You are confused.
The whole point is that the WRITER WROTE HIM LIKE A VILLAIN...but when she entered,she found that there were loopholes in the story because NH isn't actually some character she read in the script.

The NH in the world is quite misunderstood and he is none of that. Infact, Even the sister isn't the sister in the script. OMG YA'LL...THIS IS SOO BASIC. HOW ARE YA'LL NOT GETTING IT?
