He has always been a good actor, maybe the problem is not him but you just don't like some of the characters he played. Every characters are different, you might like one characters better than the others as a result you like the acting there better just a thought.

I was looking forward to tli because I really like alp, so I might still check it out once it finished airing just to see what happens to shanggu and baijue's son. I'm sad to hear it's not as good as alp so I'll adjust my expectations. Now I'm worry for moonlight mystique, I hope it will be treated better than tli. I feel some dramas with popular actors are relying too much on their popularity rather than putting any efforts into adapting the drama to meet expectations, I'm glad alp wasn't like that and the production put so much efforts into adapting the novel to give us such a masterpiece like alp in terms of music, script, CGI, it was almost a perfect adaptation besides the ending being too short.

It's good if you're watching for the leads romance, they were together for most of the drama. It's a happy ending for the leads. What is tstl, I don't know what you mean?

Just rumors, no confirmation date. I also commented before there should be a trailer by now if it was going to air in Jan.

It's because they don't want to show romance in the military, and because fl was disguised as a male. The Chinese censored everything, but if you want to see the cuts you can search on YouTube for the deleted scenes between the mains.

She thinks it's his only choice to survive because she's afraid his brothers don't have good intentions and will want him harm. She's in love with him, so she wants him to realizes his potential because she thinks he's the only one that can be the crown prince and get the country on track. She doesn't trust the crown family besides lini to get things done. Lini loves his family even though he's estranged from them, he still thinks his family are not as bad as she made them out to be, she wasn't wrong though, regarding the position of crown prince his brothers both want the title and would do anything to get it. Lini is too softhearted so he thinks his brothers are harmless, they were harmless because they don't have the capacity to harm him, but later on they were able to get the help from someone who has that capacity and lini didn't anticipated. I don't know how far you gotten so I don't want to spoil too much for you.

What is weibo night?

Is the script that bad, I wonder if it has to do with the rush release of tli?

That because the characters he played are cold and don't show feelings, in the gaming drama he became more expressive after falling for smiling and started smiling more. Watch more dramas of his with characters that are expressive like court lady, arsenal military academy, once upon a time in lingjian mountain and his latest drama wonderland of love. Xukai is a good actor don't just say he's a horrible actor without knowing the characters he played. Ancient love poetry he played three characters and he was able to show differences in the three characters. I love his acting in alp and his chemistry with zdy in that drama, and they're still one of my favorite pairings.

Yeah I think it could be kind of a promotion for sword and fairy since I think he also made preference that his outfit is from that drama. I'm really excited for sword and fairy 6 after seeing that outfit, xukai is just made for costume drama ^^

I think this was an interview that came before the new year eve special xukai hosted at hengdian, you heard it was his first time he spent new year eve with his fans ^^

Yeah I know what you mean about being a workaholic, he was working nonstop and only had a short break in between. I'm glad after story of joy, he got a longer break and he was able to do many things like being on variety show and promotions for his drama during that time. I think xukai has a very good work ethic, and his understanding of the characters he played and talk about making the characters stand out from being generic when it comes to xukai's acting ^^

Does anyone find it ridiculous someone on tli kept commenting to me that alp viewers are the reason tli gotten lower rating or alp viewers are hater of tli, or people who like alp are jealous of tli success and attacking it because they're haters of zls? I was interested in tli that's why I was on that page, but I didn't like how that person on tli is jumping on every comment someone made and call them a hater, I have never seen anyone went that hard on idol worship that she even made comments zls is a better actress than zdy, and the fact she didn't watch alp and made comments that tli is better than alp is laughable.

Was reading a review on viki that complained about the main leads not as smart in the second half, I have to disagree it's not that the main leads are not as smart, it's that they are not cut out for court politics. Both of them are very straightforward and are in the open while the villains are in the dark, compare to them being in their element in the battlefields where they know about strategies and planning court politics are totally different. We should know by now lini doesn't like court politics and that's why he is so against being the crown prince, cuilin has never been to court and only been with her father's army so she's not well versed in court politics. I think drama made it quite clear the reason for their choice in the end since they're much more happier and got exactly what they both wanted ^^

If you stop commenting to me then I won't comment anymore. It was you who talked about hater, so I gave an example of what it means to be a hater. I was referring to when alp just aired, it has lots of haters in china badmouthing it and bashing the actress for not looking pretty enough or the ml is fat etc, none of those things has to do with the drama only the appearances of the main leads. It's a good thing those who love alp didn't listen and watch the drama and realizes how good the drama is, and that's why I don't follow other people's comments because I would be missing out on a good drama otherwise.

You're right it's not your problem I'm just calling out this is what you call a hater bashing on an actress because of her look. I like Zhou dong yu, but I wouldn't call myself a fan when I only watch one of her drama. You keeps bringing up alp fans as the one responsible for tli not getting good ratings and it's not my problem since it has nothing to do with me. You're the delusional one that keeps complaining about people hating on zls when that is not the case and whether tli will get better rating well good luck, you want to chase away anyone having any interest in this drama, then by all means I think this drama probably is not for me anyways.

I have to disagree with you here I love xukai's acting and I think he's very good in his interpretation of the roles he played whether they're cold or humorous. Since you mentioned the Chinese who complained about his acting, I noticed they seem to always preference story of yanxi palace or the legend, and xukai has improve so much since then. Guess his later dramas are not to they liking who knows, or they didn't like the pairings. I'm the opposite I like him even more after watching his later dramas and like that he doesn't stay in one genre and takes risks by playing different types of roles. Xukai is a natural actor and he's very expressive when his role calls for it, or the opposite, I like his micro expressions and think he will improve in his acting as he takes on more challenging roles. As a young actor, he's still learning and he said himself he wants to improve on his acting so there's no worries there, xukai knows and is constantly learning and improving in his acting. What he can improve on now is line delivery, and he said in an interview he's working on that as well so there's no need to worry for him, he knows his limits and is constantly learning.

Who rules the world kind of have the main leads who share some similarities to the main leads in this drama. The legend of fuyao is also good, an ancient love song is also a good one. Court lady is another xukai drama but the main leads don't spend lots of times together.

I think it's you that should give it a rest, I only know Zhou dong yu from alp and thought she was a good actress regardless of how she looks like, and she has always has haters bashing her on her looks especially in china. And you're talking to someone who watches dramas as entertainment and don't care about popularity. I'm sure zls is popular but in terms of who's the better actress I think we should believe in what the record show not putting down zls, but to even make such a comparison is an insult to zdy. She's not well known for doing dramas since she's more known for her movies and has the record of being the youngest actress to get three awards for her movies. Also if tli is a good drama it would've good rating regardless of those who like alp, it's pathetic to keeps blaming alp for tli poor rating. In my opinion dramas with low rating don't automatically make them a bad drama either, when a drama got inflated rating it's usually because of popularity rather than its quality, not saying dramas with better rating are not good dramas just depends on the popularity of the actors/actresses.

You're right it's not just CGI but because of great acting as well. Zhou dong yu is known as the youngest actress to get three times awarded for her movies. The acting was great in it for mains and supports. I don't go by other people's comments, but if I do then I seen lots of comments criticized tli so I think you should take your own advice and growth up and accept tli is not perfect and people comments on their own views rather than attacking every comment as a hater. You don't see me saying anything bad about tli since I haven't watch it, but your comments makes me think you don't even watch alp and go by those haters who didn't watch alp and hating it and calling the main actress ugly, the main actor fat or never go past the first few eps to get to know the plot, by complaining about the CGI I know right away you didn't watch the drama because alp was able to show the power and strength of the gods that I haven't seen in other xanxias i watched. I'm actually would be fine if tli was as good as alp or even better because that was the reason for my wanting to watch tli in the first place, unlike you I'm not a celebrity worshipper and can separate the actors/actresses I like from their dramas and don't think it's a personal attacks against them just because people don't like the dramas they're in. Also in saying original I meant the first, most people like original over sequel, it could be personal bias but if tli is as good as you said the rating should pick up in time and can stand on its own leg so no need to knock down alp just because it's not as popular like those older xanxias.

Regarding yangmi, she was always referred to as having a hit drama and tmopb was given as an example so I assumed she gotten even more fame after tmopb and the same for those other actors/actresses who did tmopb like Mark chao, vengo gao and dillireba.
