Kunlun was baaaddd, but the others, come on! Lingjian was quite popular, so was Sword and Fairy. SEL was average.
Look, Kunlun can't be considered bad if we look at it in general. During its peak broadcasting period, it had 500 million views, which can't be considered bad. Also, The drama was not even a big-budget production, which justifies its performance.
Lingjian was one of his best works, especially as a male lead. Whether we talk in terms of records, popularity, or response, it was all well received.
Sword and Fairy, I would say, was a flop and bad overall. The hype for this drama was enormous because of the pairing of our leads, Xu Kai and Esther. It was adapted from a big IP. However, something went wrong, be it the adaptation, directing, or script writing, it didn't meet expectations. But the opening was quite big for this which indicated that the plot was not good because the hype was justified on first day but further plot which unfolded was not good enough. I personally did not liked it.
Yes, SEL can be considered average or even bad to some extent. It was Xu Kai's male-centric drama, but a lot of things went wrong, such as bad CGI and less screen time for the main lead. These factors justifies it, but again, it was not a flop.
I've seen quite a lot of CEO trope C-dramas, but trust me when I say this, Xu Kai's portrayal of Han Ting as a domineering CEO is the best to date. Usually, CEOs in these dramas are as cold as ice, with no expressions and robotic behavior. I don't understand why people even like such roles where the character shows no emotions whatsoever. However, the character of Han Ting is done absolutely right. He is domineering in a good way, with visible emotions. He is cold when necessary but not all the time. Xu Kai doesn't overdo the coldness, making it more realistic. I often find it amusing when actors who look like they're in their puberty are cast in CEO roles. Xu Kai also looks very young, but his aura, especially in a suit, makes him suitable for CEO roles and distinguish from other roles.
One issue with this show is that there’s excessive screen time for supporting characters, than main leads. They barely appear, and I worry this will negatively impact the show's popularity and actually it does shows its impact on today's episode. Honestly, I only see the main leads in the trailer, not in the actual episodes. Whoever made this editing decision is fool.
Are u mad? Commenting everywhere the same thing. Where did Ur ZLY support TSY? ZLY is making d guest appearance…
Why you guys even responding to their inexplicable comments. They just come here to seek attention and will say foolish things. To be honest, I'm still trying to understand whatever she said.

Atlast it broke 27k. Its looks like Tencent's heart got broken that it passed 27k. For some reason 4 days in a…
Tencent did that with Lost You Forever season 2. Yesterday suddenly drama's heat Index increased by 1200+ in last hour which was absolutely abnormal. and today's Yunhe proved that Tencent blatantly increased lyf 2 heat index just for sake of reaching 30k heat Index. That streaming service is totally shit.
Didn't you say 600M yesterday? How did it grow to 900M in 24 hrs?
900M Views on MangoTv app. 600M was playback volume for Tencent Video and Tv Views I guess. though I'm not sure how they counted 600M but I'm 100% sure that this drama got 900 Million Views on MangoTv.
I'll check on that, but surely, being a multi-platform drama, it performed really well. This is a quite achievement for an idol drama because we all know the traffic and popularity costume drama receives especially in China itself. Also, some members will watch on Tencent, some on MangoTV, and we aren't even considering the TV viewers. You can imagine the scale from this... Think about it, if this should have aired solely on Tencent it would've easily surpassed 28k Heat Index.
One thing I'm dubious about: if anyone knows, please help me understand why Yunhe is not increasing, considering it gets almost hundreds of millions of views every day on MangoTv app?
LYF2 has exceeded 30k today, but how? suddenly in the last hour, their heat index increased by over 1200, which is abnormal data. Everyone on Weibo is talking about how they did cloud booking, spending millions of yuan, and Tencent manipulating their own data.
I'll drop the links here so you all can read if you're curious. Honestly, I'm not even excited anymore for as beautiful as you's heat index.
Never believing any data from Tencent again, today their act was shameless this is truly a shitty streaming service. If anyone know about how they manipulate Lost You Forever's heat Index today, will get what and why I'm saying this.
and when they'll reconcile?

Yeah, 27k is reachable today...
I've noticed she dresses more maturely in later episodes and she looks soo good.
600M was playback volume for Tencent Video and Tv Views I guess.
