I think XK only had one other drama that aired this year. And it was, regrettably, bad. But this one, I thoroughly enjoyed.
I can't speak for you, so that I can't guarantee you that you will surely enjoy this drama if you continue. You already have so many negative thoughts on this drama, so I feel that you will probably not enjoy watching this.

I don't think anyone is saying that people hate to see a strong independent woman. But rather, the issue is that people have a preconceived notion of how a woman should be. People even have a preconceived notion of how a strong independent woman should be. Hence all the discussions over FL in this drama.

I don't think there are any more misunderstandings after this. They did have differing opinions and views which brought them apart a couple of times, but no misunderstandings. Rather, they understand each other too well.

ABAY has a trailer, now even Story of Joy has a trailer...

Ah, the trailer: https://twitter.com/XukaiAlbum/status/1735519578795758054

It depends on your perspective.

In my view, both ML and FL love each other equally. I do see a few people having problems with ML being a "simp" for giving into FL a few times.... but I don't think so. He is someone who is willing to give into the people he loves and cares about, yet he upholds his principles to the end and does not give into anyone, including FL, when it concerns his principles.

That's the above two posters' opinions, not everyone's. In my opinion, for whatever it is worth, they had great sizzling chemistry from the very first episode to the last.

Lol, me too. I also didn't like SML in The Heirs and True Beauty. I rarely ever like SML or SFL, doesn't matter how good or pitiful they are.
But, to be frank, there are no SML and SFL in this drama. They are basically villains.

When they got together is hard to say. They don't exchange words like 'we are together now' to confirm their relationship. They are basically flirting with each other from the very beginning.

No break-ups because of misunderstandings... only differences in views and opinions between them sometimes pull them apart, but they resolve them in an episode or two.

I haven't watched it on YouTube, but I think subs on Viki are usually better compared to the ones on YouTube. Forget YouTube subs, I think Viki subs are better than WeTV subs too.

I think you should just drop this.

Yes, a very fulfilling episode long happy ending.

Viki has all the episodes up!! Time for a proper binge re-watch... which I'll start tomorrow.

You mean Trump family and his administration? Perfecto.

She literally watches 1 or 2 episodes of Xu Kai's dramas and decides it's a bad drama and posts a video about it. She literally did just that for ALP. I watched the whole review, and it was a hot mess. There was no constructive criticism or anything. Just blatant hater propaganda. As soon as I finished watching that video, I clicked on {Don't Recommend the Channel} on her video and kicked her hateful face off of my YouTube.
The only Chinese drama YouTube creator I follow right now is Marcus Here. He doesn't favor one and hate the other. Very neutral and refreshing.

Although I felt LCF was the weakest link of the drama -- cause somewhere between the script, directing, and acting, the character's nuances were lost -- I can still understand where he went wrong and how he became what he became. It's not that hard to wrap our heads around it. So, I'm really confused why people are so mad about this character.

WOL was upgraded to an S+ drama. It was an S drama when they were in production. I guess the investors liked the output and promoted it to an S+ drama. This means, the drama will get better post-production and better promotions.
I'm not too sure about the promotions (I personally feel they haven't been up to the mark. However, if you compare with his previous dramas, with the exception of FIYS, which was wildly promoted by Youku, WOL did have better promotions), but WOL had a very good post-production work done on it. Especially considering that originally 50 episodes were cut down to 40 episodes, yet they still managed to not have an editing disaster, that speaks of how good the post-production was.

All upcoming dramas are S+. Chinese Paladin 6. As Beautiful As You. Story of Joy. Even his rumored drama that he is about to film soon is also an S+ drama. Of the previously released dramas, I only know She and Her Perfect Husband and Ancient Love Poetry were S+ dramas. Not so sure about his other dramas.
Xu Kai was also promoted as the Global Ambassador for Tencent/WeTV.

Says that he/she is not biased, then goes ahead and writes a blatantly biased review.

However, somewhat understand his/her situation though. If I follow a drama, I will be in that drama world for however long I am watching that drama, and dramas look weak or pathetic to me.
So, there I was, a person who was excited for both WOL and SOKP. Since WOL started airing first, I started with it and put SOKP on hold. If it was the other way, I would have put WOL on hold instead. I also don't plan on watching SOKP soon. I need to let go of WOL completely, and then I can fully appreciate SOKP. This is how I usually deal with this situation.

Thank you for reading.

Don't miss the extra chapters. They are the best, especially the last extra chapter.
