Great review. I enjoyed most of the show, but the ending let it down. Too much time devoted to Leopard and not enough given to ZGH. He essentially was the final boss that wasn't. Very anticlimactic. They simply didn't leave enough time to execute a dramatic final opponent showdown and a wrap up with happy endings for the main cast. The rushed nature of the ending came at the expense of ZGH.
All done. Really enjoyed the show overall. But, the end felt somewhat rushed and flat. Let's just say the final boss man was a little, ah, anticlimactic.
UPDATE 2: they ended up announcing the drama but with no cast or crew, just produced by Huanyu. I submitted the…
Yes, of course, his beautiful deep voice and speaking ability (singing, too). He uses his own voice in dramas and is never dubbed. He also has the perfect voice for narration and live presentations / productions.

I guess it's just the nature of the beast. Showbiz can be cruel and irrational. People will criticise and try to tear you down for various reasons, no matter how well you do. In many cases, they seem to be doing it to prop up their own favourites. Perhaps they feel threatened by a talented up-and-comer.
As long as he avoids career-derailing scandals, I really think he will be fine. He's a great combination of looks and talent. And, as for the early complaints about his body being scrawny, he now has one of the best physiques in c-ent at the age of 23. Only a small handful can compare (I bet those who criticised feel a little foolish now).
I'm not surprised CCTV loves him. I remember there was a push for a better masculine representation in entertainment. He fits the bill perfectly. I'm also not surprised he catches the eye of foreign fans. He has great bone structure, and is the definition of a handsome leading man. Paired with his big personality, he has an air of confidence about him that's hypermasculine. There are often two types of good-looking men in entertainment that international audiences are familiar with. The ruggedly handsome type that oozes masculine energy, and the pretty boy kind who possesses a touch of the feminine. They're typically suited to different roles. There's more versatility in the first look because it is easier to make someone look softer and more gentle than it is to make them look fiercer and more authoritative.

Yes, this has been such an informative discussion. I've learned so much. I wouldn't worry too much. His rise has been rapid. That always attracts those who will want to knock him down. He's charismatic both on and off the screen. Constantly off on an adventure. So, his social media presence is always fun to follow. And, his performances speak for themselves. I actually think these post-2000s c-ent kids are a special bunch, they have loads of talent and the ability to be much better than the previous generations.
JUNE 26th: 🙀 AHHHHH...Wingyue & Ruohan had a CPR/kissing scene today. 😘 They did a few takes of the scene.…
I wonder if the scene will be both. Breathe air into her lungs to revive her, and then transition to a kiss 🤔.
Oh, I've seen that bathrobe clip at the bottom attached to a larger sequence where he's jogging to the trailer in a white singlet and shorts dripping wet from the river scenes. Let's just say, ah, he's ripped 💪.
It's interesting because we are having a discussion on the WXY page about c-ent fan wars and general social media mischief / troublemaking. I learned his body was criticised for being too thin / scrawny in First Love, an early rom-com he made while still growing up. Well, he's come a long way, and now he has one of the best physiques in Cdrama. This is what I was alluding to by saying he brings a real physicality to the screen. Paired with his good looks, he's actually extremely fit, athletic, and strong. Add in the acting talent and deep voice, and you have a great package for a leading man. He really looks the part for anything involving action, adventure, martial arts, warfare, outdoor / physical activity, and rugged romance.

Yes, YZ is a fire starter. It's a crude publicity method, but I suppose it does generate early discussion and interest in dramas. No fun for the actors, though. Particularly since many of them get along really well off-screen.

Thanks for going into great detail and clearing that up. I always wondered what was meant by it, but could never get to the bottom of it. Usually, Weibo fan attacks revolve around something simple. Someone isn't talented enough or accomplished enough to be billed above or paired with someone else. Looks are another common attack point. For example, Liu Yuning is often critiqued for not being good-looking enough for costume dramas. Lu Yuxiao's weight and posture (complete with unflattering pictures) comes up a bit. Ren Min is criticised a lot for her looks, specifically her nose. I saw you mentioned further down the page WXY was attacked for his physique in First Love. Filmed while he was still growing. And, that it damaged his confidence a bit in regard to doing modern dramas. Well, it is safe to say he is all grown up now. So, hopefully he comes back to modern and proves all the doubters wrong. He's got the perfect aesthetic for them. Would be great for action and adventure, too.
And, yes, some fans' behaviour can be annoying. A weird combination of a need to worship and a need to control. As if he isn't a real person, but rather an idealised figment of their imagination. A fantasy, so to speak.
