You were so brave in starting this thread! Well done. The letter is in Weibo, in DK official site, but you can access it without an account and use the in-built translator.

How great! - which drama? are you sure is not that they started filming together rather than the release of the drama. A drama takes a good year until is released, but this would be an exception for sure.

Excellent, very high ratings for this kind of dramas. Maybe something that people abroad do not know is that this kind of dramas does not attract masses of audiences, this is not the kind of drama that the majority of TV viewers watch. I have been explained this by my Chinese friends living in China, so within this kind of market, it did very well.

No chance. In general in China is not advisable to pair people immediately after. After 3 years you see some CP returning but this is uncommon. In this case, if you believe gossips the management are in dispute. I am not sure. I remember TXW in a live show making the praying gesture to perform again with Dylan Wang. The vibe was completely different. Mind you I am a follower of her career and I did not think the Guardians of Dafeng was her best series!

Thank you for your post!!! 🙏I can breathe now. It feels stifle here for us Qi Min yearners. Like is almost sinful to like him, to say he was the reason we watched this series, and he was. Deng Kai is a powerhouse of acting and sensuality and he had the warmest of companion in Snow Kong. There is not redeemable qualities in QiMin, he is a dark terrible fictional character yet in his madness is capable of this passionate obsession for QQ to the point that to continue was to break himself and learnt to love by letting her go. Have you read the letter that Deng Kai wrote as QiMin to his lover.? It is so moving. Here the link: https://weibo.com/2874676653/5281877690680981

So it is your opinion too! It doesn't matter if you write or not.

Could you please send me the link? I have a Red Note account

but you brought it here. At least take responsibility for what you post!

It is so moving, thank you. It is a letter to his lover, beautiful. "You are an accident, a luxury, and the only light in my darkness."😭and he finally learnt how to truly loved her in the end.

Exactly like this, thank you for coming forward. I really cannot understand these people. children in a school playground are less confrontational 😂

What's the point of this post, to create fan wars? Shall we get over this kind of attitude in MDL forums? This is not a competition, both CPs brought something to the drama, this is what I like this series so much. In any case, CPs are over now. Chinese audience move at the speed of the light and top tier actors are into other dramas and are required to promote these dramas. All these actors are filming now. I followed Chinese website I have accounts in all of them, all is in the algorithm (I also have Chinese friends living in China!) What I can say It looks like the big winner from the impact of the series is Deng Kai landing major contracts with top brands and being in covers of magazines. This is justice well served for a great professional actor finally getting the recognition that he deserves.

Agree that is the best drama of ZL. I have watched a lot from him, but this is his best characterisation to day.

When Qi Ming appears by 10 ep or 11 ep onwards. He is dark as it comes, he is also related to the younger villian. I found both of those characters riveting. QiMin is the mad husband of QianQuian so the tension there is sometimes unbereable. Regarding the Main CP I found there is mystery, truths not told from ep 1, so although it is a very sweet interaction there is a contention background too. I think it is a great series, the pace is amazing for a Chinese drama, very well balanced.

He is the one who is very cultural insensitive. He said in a recent live TV show to TXW, "you drew me so ugly, I look like a South Asian", but before he made fun of the Thai accent in another show. I know this, because I watched that programme (The Truth). The other participants always teased him with Dilraba, but she keeps so distant from him, I don't know if fearing fan wars, that are a real danger in China or she really does not feel close to him at all despite they have been in that programe like for 3 years. I wonder.

I am aware of this, but Gongsun also practiced mouth to mouth with the princess...

Maybe not a fight as such, but they were never closed. ZL has a reputation for being very cold, not very friendly. They are actors that becomes good friends after acting together, but they are other that are not each other cup of tea and they just collaborate professionally.

Don't believe in all the gossips about managers. Series are released months or even years after the filming finished. By that time top tiers actors have filmed more dramas or are in another filming project that needs to start promoting. It is quite common no interaction after the promo of the series finish. This is China style. Strong fan service during promo to hype the film no interaction afterwards. It happens across de board. It is not often to repeat CP hardly ever happen.

I am writing this comment to follow up. I was so intrigued by it.

Yes, and I have read it somewhere else too.

I have gotten flowers and awards with my comments, but I really don 't how how to do it myself. Very grateful though for receive them. I will keep an eye if anybody answer your question.
