I adore Wang Xing Yue ๐ โฆโฆbut I understand you as I have the same problem with one or two actors , one…
I normally love good villains and LXY was my favorite character in L&O. I also love the second prince in JOL. But that is only bc in the end, the leads always prevail. I think even though the villain didn't win in O&O, the leads still definitely lost. But he is a good actor and I will get over it. Esp if I get to watch him suffer a lot. Bc I am petty like that.๐ ๐
sorry,IMO the word arrogant applies to ZBF, not WJL. WDB is simply a foolhardy and obstinate constable who knows…
Yes this was a passion project for the director. All three characters are meant to be satires of everything that was wrong with Qing dynasty that led to its downfall. None of them can help who they are, they are products of a rotten and de funk system. No one changes or grows. They remain who they are.
Perhaps no need to advertise, when they know it will be a smash hit anyway โบ๏ธ
There are too many competing dramas right now. Even if they promote the viewership impact will not be enough to offset the costs, especially now when advertisers are not that keen buy ads.

He is a parody character that is deliberately written to be that way. He is a Confucian scholar displaced by the elimination of imperial exams. The Qing dynasty got rid of this system bc they found that the system favored rote memorization and literary skills over practical knowledge and resulted in government officials that were too rigid but with no practical skills or knowledge and not open to modernization and science and technology. Sound familiar?
