I hope it’s a big hit in mainland china. Because I heard WHD’s antis are buying black HS on weibo to pull…
Guardians of the Dafeng has been performing exceptionally well in China, even though it has only been airing for two days! While some negative comments / black HS from haters are inevitable, they only highlight Dylan’s immense potential and the high production quality of the series.
A good thing is that GOTD is also broadcast on National TV around the country, so there will be passerbys that will want to watch and are not influenced by the antis on social media.

Dylan got 18 black hot search in 24 hrs because he dropped an album with a diss rap song “Destiny” to his haters. It’s his second diss song. His first one is “Burn.” Basically they criticized him for saying he can only play DFQC and Xu Qi’An .
Yes, in the novel he has many love interests. But for the drama, I think it will be one to one (I’m guessing we will get a little cp feeling w/ those female characters).
imo he's good in those kind of stoic/badass roles like DFQC but this one.. his acting is really cringey and over-acted.
The attack started before the drama aired they couldn’t even wait. He has too many good things going on. His concert, new music album, movie got nominated, birthday, drama to air, etc. Dylan is a huge talent, good-looking, humble, and always willing to learn - making him the most promising star. But he is seen as an outsider in the industry because he doesn’t come from a rich family, acting school, or have a big agency backing him. Honestly, that’s what makes his success even more impressive. In my opinion, he is too big for the Chinese entertainment. The Chinese market is still very confused about how to deal with him, which some people are trying to bring him down because he's not like one of them (and there’s another actor they r trying to shove down our throat). :) It’s not easy for him, which is why we, as fans, are doing everything we can to support him, proving his commercial value by showing real support.

This is straight up Asian slapstick comedy. It’s very nostalgic. Maybe you are reading too much hate posts that are targeting him in China? There are definitely a lot of people saying he is perfectly cast for this role. There’s even a hashtag that XuQian playing Wang Hedi.

His responded to all the hate at his concert. He’s just saying it like how it is and he should never stop recognizing himself.

Basically Dylan already anticipated their reaction.
