he was in the drama "heroes in harms way" which was filmed and aired in 2020 (even if he was in only 2 episodes) and it aired on CCTV8 channel, so saying ool didn't air because of xz isn't really correct, It was mostly HunanTV pushing it back every time.

I didn't understand exactly which part you mean, did you mean when KHW went to the auction for that girl's house auction?
for the auction, all those who want the land, put their bid and whomever puts the highest bid gets the land.

Lee Joon Gi's role had his lawless lawyer vibe to it at the start, I'm not complaining though, ,I like this so far.

if I remember correctly there was a drama he had a cameo in, but due to travel restrictions and busy schedule he couldn't go for reshoot of scenes so ended up not shown in that drama. (if I'm not mistaken they wanted to reshoot because there were leaks) ,I forgot the drama name.

tv version has 32 episodes because its episodes were shorter, the web version (dvd version) is 29 episodes.
tencent yt has posted the 32 ep tv version in yt as well.
content is same so if you don't switch between them while watching, you won't be missing anything. (tv version doesn't have opening credits though, the opening song is beautiful).

Now that I was re-watching this drama I realized Shin Hye Sun was one of the students!!

in this comment, happy end I meant for ace troops, fl dad didn't die there as far as I remember.
for ool happy ending, meant that leads get together eventually, her dad's cancer will get worse again and he dies in the end (drama doesn't show his death but in last episode it is said he died).

thank you.

yes, it has happy ending (a little depends on perspective but I count it as happy one for each or should I say it turned out to be unexpectedly satisfying ending for each character).
there are ups and downs and unexpected circumstances through out though.
sorry if my answer come off too vague, I'm trying not to spoil it for you as much as possible!

did you try Ace Troops? romance isn't the focus of the drama but still GuYiye (Xiao Zhan's role) had relationships through out the drama and his life journey was interesting. and one thing for sure is his acting was improved a lot since it was filmed in late 2020. (ool was filmed in 2019)

hi, I want to watch this drama, but I just saw that there will be a sequel in drama description here, does it mean this season might end unfinished? when will they air 2nd season? is there any official info about it?
(I'm asking before I start watching in case I should wait and watch it when 2nd season is out, since I prefer not waiting for a second season to be made for long time)

they get together in ep16 dvd version, ep 18 tv version.
there is a short break up after that but it won't last long.

he has great potential although he has already proven he can become better in each project.
he has a costume drama coming this year, 'the longest promise' to look forward to.

there are 2 versions of the drama, tv version is 32 episodes, dvd version is 29 episodes.
only difference is episodes duration. content is same.

fluffy, the leads were great and they have so many sweet moments.

happy.

it could be enjoyable for some and boring for another, it's ok though, it might just not be the type you would enjoy.
personally I recommend giving it a shot for few more episodes or you can drop it, it's your choice.
I'm not the kind who would watch romance dramas and I have dropped so many of them, but this one kept me going, it's pacing and story was great for me to the point I'm rewatching it although I have watched it recently.

you can watch it on wetv app or tencent YT, not all episodes are out yet for free though. idk if it's region restricted or not.
17 episodes are available so far (dvd version), they will release 1 ep daily if I'm not mistaken.

those saying episode 16 meant the dvd version, for tv version it's on ep18.

hi, content is same in both version, only duration of each episodes are different.
you won't be missing anything while watching either of them. but when you get started, don't switch between them because episodes end on different parts of story and you might get confused.
I watched tv version while it was on air and rewatching it in dvd version.
