Episode 11 was both disappointment and at the same time great.
To be honest, that FL part was idol level quality and idol level acting and this is the first time I fast forwarded. It dragged on way too long and is a really big departure from what this drama has been so far. There is a really noticeable difference in acting quality here as well as tone. If it continues like this, I will simply skip everything around the FL unless it becomes crucial to see.
The great part was the ML2. I had an inkling that I would like him and I did. Zanghai choosing to come from this angle makes sense. What doesn't make sense is Zanghai's behavior in regards to his scars. He looked at that wine, he knew what that was. I think the reveal was allowed, on purpose. He took an enormous risk when he did this. This is I believe one of the first significant turning points in the drama because that risk will pay off. Zhixing is smart beneath the fool surface that was a defence mechanism and the only way he knew how to stay afloat. That ending! Now to 12!
Disney is for an extremely limited market of Taiwan and Hong Kong. Netflix should be possible.
Cnetz misunderstood at the beginning that Disney+ was doing a global simultaneous release so a lot of that is still lingering around. It's best to just wait and see what will happen. I am hoping for Netflix because Disney+ is way too limited in audience.
ITTF World Table Tennis Championships Finals Doha is being shown on CCTV5 at the same time as Zanghai which means we are fighting that plus the usual movie on CCTV6, the drama going on CCTV1 and as an addition tomorrow basketball will probably go to CCTV5+
So it's a massive fight for people and TV ratings.
I believe sheβs the one who whipped him as a kid and Iβm pretty sure sheβs there to create conflict. She…
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 π€

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 π€

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 ππ
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.
Fl is kinda problematic till now creating problems for Zhang hai just for her own selfishness .
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 π₯π₯
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 π€
Is that why the ratings are low for this now?? Because drama wise this should have been a solid 8.5+ easily..
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's possible. I tend to think back to the scene we see when he recounts that night and the number of dead to…
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.

Tomorrow we fight table tennis and basketball. That is going to be fun π
First episode again with great numbers, 1.9342 π₯

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