To be broadcast? Nobody knows, China is very complicated when it comes to airing dramas. If we are lucky TLP could air in Nov/Dec but as I said, nobody knows.

Nope, he has no social media accounts in the west.

Ungrateful? What a bizarre choice of words. This drama is a product. Why tf should I be grateful for an inferior product? Simping is embarrassing.

I keep getting disappointed by endings of dramas this year. At this point, I am starting to grade it on scale to find some positivity. This was awful, this was not as awful as that one, and then I catch myself doing it and sigh. What a mess and now I can add this one to the disappointing pile.

No, it's not, this is an original work. It is also not a remake of some Thai drama as some have been saying. Completely new.

Filming is starting, XZ at the airport, BBH is coming in a day later. I can't wait for the official notice.

I am not going to lie, I was amused 🤣 but yes, thankfully all right!

Unless truck-kun makes a guest appearance 😄

If the ending is that the two MLs hook up and walk away together, I am in. Otherwise, been there, done that, got the emotional scars to prove it. No thanks to love triangles.

His dramas are not the only ones on delay. Many cent projects have never, and will never, see daylight, never mind delay.

Jealous of what though? Trash products that keep flopping? It's quality, not quantity that matters. Any decent actor in China isn't mass producing shows. Look at people like Hu Ge, to focus on younger generations. Is he in ten dramas a year?

You should Google George Clooney and Nespresso. He doesn't do it because he is established, he does it for the huge money. And this is important especially in China, where actors' pay is limited by law. Endorsements don't detract from Xiao Zhan's work - unless a person is jealous their actual fave doesn't have them.

How, exactly, should he be more active in dramas and movies? He is not a machine. Filming two quality projects per year, in cent that is full of trash, is as good as it gets.

What a weird post. You should probably give your sage advice about "kitchenware" to George Clooney too.

It's because she is primarily a movie actress. Very famous in China.

I mean, I did write "for me". To me conclusions matter and how they are done and yes, they can and do degrade the show 🤷 I have no idea how to answer your comment otherwise tbh because I don't see how others center in that.

I feel like how they write the ending is going to be really important. There has been so much tension surrounding BM that they risk a total fall out if it's not tightly, satisfactorily, written. It will make or break this show for me, could go either way.

SSK? Seriously? Um. That's not promising.

Seriously, no more JSM? Good bye show I guess.

Oh you can do plenty. You can not attack people just because they have new accounts. Or spamming this place because you don't like what is being posted.

I have to congratulate your little organized posting group though. You lost it because people don't like how Tencent treated your idol so off you go protecting Tencent.

Tencent, that the Chinese have been roasting on Weibo for days for their behavior. But no, you, internationals, are going to defend them because you see it as some perceived threat to Xiao Zhan. Congratulations, this has been one of the most out there things I have ever seen in my life and I have seen plenty. Do me a favor and go have a word with those Chinese posting too, I mean, why not, while you are all so ready. They obviously don't get it so you should explain it to them how Tencent is amazing and they are all just dumb. Jiayou 💪

And now the cult-like spamming of comments to wash away any criticisms because heaven forbid anyone say something they don't like. To make it absolutely unbelievable, those comments are about Tencent. Not the drama, not the actors, not the crew. Tencent.

Absolute cringe.

Chinese entertainment is not a good place. Too many interests at play, too many people trying to bring down others.

Yes, there are ideal windows for broadcast. After they aired the trailer they had a perfect storm going. Not only were the fans ready, the trailer got out of the circle which is a dream for any drama these days, considering the state of the market. It has been years since I have seen such hype by non fans over a cdrama and I am talking about China, not internationally.

All Xiao Zhan works wil have a lot of interest, no matter when they are broadcast. They will be successful. But TLP really had something going this summer. No matter how well it does in the future, I will always wonder about what might have been. As things stand now, it can't be broadcast before the tribute dramas are over so maybe it will show up around the same time Douluo did. You can never be sure of anything here.

All those millions and millions of dollars in Hollywood and TV productions trying to find the right time and the best airing windows with the right marketing are spent in vain then? Damn someone better tell them then that they have been morons for decades now and threw all that cash around for nothing.

Last time I looked this is MDL, a drama site and not a Xiao Zhan fanpage. Everyone can post their opinions here without getting dragged by crazed fangirls.
