I am not a fan (neither an anti-fan), but why does he have so many haters? I don't think he has done anything…
Xiao Zhan has been the top flow since The Untamed. Unfortunately that brings a lot of haters from rival fandoms who are bitter because their fave actors are unable to surpass him.
so far the thing that it did not like is how easy it was for him to get close to them, it was such a lazy writing,…
He’s not close to any of them though? They’re all conniving behind his back. He hasn’t met the emperor and has had few interactions so far with the Marquis who has used him as a disposable tool.
I don’t know about y’all. But I want a full course meal in revenge not fast food. I’m so happy with the pacing in this drama. The director and screen writer have done a phenomenal job.
This is my first xiao zhan drama. How were his previous works and how's his acting?
He came in the gate swinging. He’s always been praised for being great. And he’s only gotten better over time. There’s a reason why all the great directors in China are working with him. Tsui Hark, Zheng Xiaolong, Kong Sheng, among others. There’s also rumors of collaborations with Zhang Yimou and Wong Kar Wai. Only a great actor would get these opportunities.
No. That’s his real voice. Costume dramas usually have the actors dub their own lines after filming is done but he doesn’t for this one. His lines are recorded live on set.
The only thing I hate about male-centric dramas is the FL is always sidelined, especially when she's there just…
Keep in mind the drama is named after the male lead. It will revolve around Zang Hai. However, the fl is not there as a romantic plot device. She will kick ass and have her own storyline.
I really find Youkus heat index system so weird, is it really possible to increase overnight when almost all are…
I’m not sure about other times cause this is my first time watching a Youku drama. But Youku said the system had a large influx of traffic for this drama which caused it to lag. So I’m guessing it’s catching up now.
Since I’ve seen some comments about this subject, my opinion is that Zang Hai isn’t supposed to be ruthless and vengeful and perfect from the beginning of his journey. He’s supposed to make mistakes and learn from them. I think an issue with previous revenge dramas is that the lead is ruthless from the get go and there’s not much character development. Zang Hai will differ from all the others in this way. Personally, I love this approach. I think it would be boring to make him perfect. I’m looking forward to his failures and his successes.
I love the attention to detail in this drama. I was left wondering why his masters didn’t want to teach Zang Hai martial arts. Come to find out it’s so he can get close to the Marquis who is an untrustworthy man. And wouldn’t allow some strong martial artist to get close.
I hope this is a happy ending so I can watch it.. I wanted to watch xiao zhan drama but I dont know where to start
I’ve watched every Xiao Zhan drama. And they’re all completely different from each other. My personal favorites (in no particular order) are Sunshine By My Side, The Youth Memories, Douluo Continent, and The Longest Promise. SBMS and TYM are modern dramas while DC and TLP are costume dramas. If you’re looking for one full of romance try The Oath of Love.
Great news everyone! Youku has announced that the episodes will drop internationally simultaneously with the Chinese broadcast which is May 18th 7:30 pm Beijing Time. If you go to the AppStore and search for Youku it will show at what time the episodes will be available for your region. I’m so excited. 🤩
