why do you bother this ? Each drama has its own fate. The most important factor for drama to get received it a good script/story.
as someone who admire Xu Kai's acting, I will watch SOTB. I don't care what is going on with other drama. this kind of worry just add unnecessary negativity

xu kai shared with arena homme plus on 14/7 that He's been learning singing. Will he sing in the meet and greet event? dual with Xiao A Qi for example?

Xiao A Qi who sang the OST - Waiting is the special guest in the Greet and Meet event in Bangkok on September 20

I think the main reason why Zhou Ye has been quiet lately relates to her controversy a few months ago. Her intimacy moment was captured by paparazzi. And being quiet , staying away from public is a kind of norm for Chinese celebrities in most of crisis

@bethcha to be correct Tencent is a Tech giant and Tencent Video is one of its smallest portion. Tencent Video's profit mainly comes from Amine, animation . And WeTV is just a broadcast app for international client of Tencent video.

Watching the promotional videos/audio lately I started to understand the meaning behind the drama title. Spring of the Blade - Shen Run is the blade

BTW Alaso Vietnam will make a letter book as gift for Xu Kai. If you want to send a message to him you can fill the google sheet https://forms.gle/j2WDJFFXnd4xEtYm8 . you can write in any language but preferably in English or Mandarin

For those who are interested in the drama story and its OST. I made a FMV using the OST - Waiting . I also added several subtitles to the MV too. This FMV features the live rendition led by Xiao A Qi (小阿七) alongside Bai Zhu (白澍), Estelle Chen Yihan (陈意涵) & Kang Ziqi (康子奇) on The Treasured Voice (《天赐的声音》). While a different recording, Xiao A Qi’s voice remains the heart of both this live stage and the original OST! 🌸

The ads on buses in Hanoi was arranged by Iqiyi Vietnam. The Xu Kai's led screens in Bangkok airport was probably arranged and paid by Thai Alaso

Yes, very happy for Vietnamese Alaso. I don't know why Iqiyi chose Vietnam since there are much more Xu Kai fans in Thailand, Indonesia or Philipines (maybe the market in Vietnam still have considerable room for growing). The idol chasing culture in vietnam is much calmer too. Anyway I am super happy for my vietnamese friends too. Some admins got contact from big fans and Iqiyi as early as August 20. I got contact by a chinese fan. however I am not running any fanpage or based in Vietnam. And they had to wait almost 3 weeks to get the confirmation that the event will come true. It was quite "difficult" time for them since they had to keep it confidentially :D

I think you can download and install but if you want to use the local app to watch the drama to contribute to number of views and heat index in the domestic market you need VPN. I have some friends who wanted to boost 800 during its first broadcast period and they all had to use VPN to watch 800 (watching from abroad normally with WeTV international apps in case of 800)

you have to use VPN to install and use the chinese apps I guess

chatGPT is not always correct. This afternoon I took a look at reservation links of both plaforms. It was 1.52 million on youku and 230 000 on Iqiyi

They got married on ep 37. She delivered the baby in ep 42

there are many channel on youtube featuring full drama. just check them out. I can watch full drama on Tencent channel as well other channels without any copyright problems

The original work is a trilogy novels starting with Ancient Love Poetry the The last immortal and ending with moonlight mystique. However, when the last two novels were adapted on sreen a lot of connection was removed to make each drama as a standalone. The last immortal is still quite close to Ancient Love Poetry , they share the same universe and concept. Moonlight mystique was changed quite a lot compare with it original work

FYI. For those interested in Xu Kai's latest ARENA Homme Plus (August 2026) cover story, I made a quick recap video breaking down the key messages of the interview (Title A decade, a journey), memorable quotes and full Q&A.
It covers his reflections on his acting journey, work-life balance, deep-dives into his roles in Spring of the Blade and Eight Hundred, his Great Escape S8 experience, and a full Q&A section where he shares insights on family and even taking up singing lessons.
Besides engish, the video also includes several subtitle in other languages s and multilingual auto-dubbing (dubbing is done by youtube) for international fans. I’ve dropped the link in the replies below if you’d like to check it out! 🎬✨

F.Y.I. I made a video — Xu Kai at LESS IS MORE × XANDER ZHOU FW 2026 | Inside City Spectrum & Beyond the Runway — bringing together the runway experience, Xu Kai's exclusive interviews, fan cam moments, and the core vision behind the collection into one complete viewing experience.

Through his front-row presence and 3 backstage interviews, he helps tell the story of the collection, his fashion philosophy, and updates on upcoming projects from a fresh perspective.

It’s a ~17-minute full experience video with multi-lang CC available (EN, CN, TH, etc.). Hope you all enjoy it!

P.S. He mentioned wanting to play a doctor next... manifesting Doctor Xu Kai! 🩺❤️. And it seems that Spring of the Blade is coming soon

FYI: As Story of Yanxi Palace celebrated its 8th anniversary yesterday, I summarized Xu Kai’s retrospective thoughts on the drama and Fuca Fuheng, gathered from his interviews throughout 2024 and 2025 : http://youtube.com/post/Ugkx4KSZI1T8-f97zRyBAsREmN1t0Z7Biq_a?si=j0iJPQA_Nvo0akbZ

There are tidbits of The Great Escape today (24/6) in which both Xu Kai and Nazha were spotted
