Yes, they usually are poorly written but I still have hope that it's going to turn around because this is ZXL and from everything I have seen from him, he doesn't usually make mistakes like this. I think we will probably see a turn soon towards a better direction because we are already quarter in. Maybe the tonal difference could have been handled better here at the start but for me, it will be enough if they strongly turn her into his direction 🤞

We now even have museums joining in. Wuhan museum posted about the jade belt hook prop in the drama, the real piece is in their collection!

Of course we can blame her.

Her ego is bruised so she is causing him mortal danger to sooth it. It was very obvious that was the issue.

I totally understand, it actually was a big mess for a while. But you can always ask one of the regulars on xz pages in private, I don't think any of us will mind. Anyway, don't worry about it, it's fine and thanks 🤗

You can edit out the first question if you like, the other part is actually ok because we have spoken about that here before. But they have been downvoting this drama from the start, don't worry, it's not your fault. Just be careful next time, too many people hate XZ because they blame him for their idols not doing well.

We are all frustrated and have been for years because that is how long his dramas have been mass downvoted here on MDL. I understand that.

But look below what this talk causes. So my advice is to speak in generalities if you must, without actually mentioning another drama or person. Most of us here know what is going on and will follow anyway.

Yes, I agree. This is a pretty big problem in dramas like Zanghai.

On one side you have continuous life and death situations where people are being killed in the most brutal of ways and Zanghai's life is under continuous threat.

On the other side you have what is basically a little girl behavior, a bruised ego adding even more to it because she can't handle rejection so she starts rumors that can get him killed, after already having caused him problems before.

I don't know where we are going with this because her behavior really stands out as childish but has potentially disastrous consequences.

I have now read through all the theories you all posted last night and I am not sure my own brain knows what is up and what is down anymore, left or right 😂😂

Negl, I would love it it if some of those most out there were correct because wouldn't that be a plot twist! Can't wait for the new episodes and what you come up with then.

It will be interesting to see how this situation develops. I am definitely not blown away by her right now.

She endangered Zanghai with her rumors because her ego was hurt more than anything. I have very little tolerance for such things in dramas of this kind. I am hoping they will start turning her around soon.

Legend of Zanghai has now taken over in first place on Yunhe too 🔥🔥

For those who like data, the weekend is almost here. That means that the opportunity is there to pull in even more new viewers. Currently the trend is still rising, new people are constantly coming in but the weekend is usually an even bigger opportunity for this. The goal is for the drama to ferment and break out of the circle 🤞

Say what? Go away.

Can you please not do this? TJOF issues are of their own making.

As for the low ratings here, XZ has a great many antis that always downvote his dramas. The more successful he gets, the worse it gets. It's even worse in China.

It would certainly be something 😂😂😂

That's my point, isn't it.

It looks like he fully trusts the masked man and his masters. But does he? Because if he fully trusted them, he wouldn't think that mentioning the survivor was putting them at risk. So is he really as naive as we think when it comes to certain things.

There is a hot search on Weibo "thank you Director Zheng Xiaolong for the series".

I am pretty sure that is not what they are thanking him for, considering the timing 😂😂😂

It doesn't look like one, no. I also see they are talking about "forced love" and I am genuinely baffled but indeed, who knows 😂😂

I am not sure if that is better or worse in this case 😂😂😂

Frankly SC is an 11.

He could be rescuing her but no way is he kidnapping her with them on a horse in this way and her holding onto him. She could escape without trouble.

It's possible. I tend to think back to the scene we see when he recounts that night and the number of dead to the masked man. 14. So and so. But he is lying, isn't he? He never mentions that someone else survived. We don't know for sure that the Zanghai we see is all there is.
