I think it's because he wants to avoid getting typecast.

Although ALHJ is too dark for me, Joseph really did such an amazing job showing Gu Yizhong’s growth from a naive kid who just wanted to be a hero to a legit, badass spy.

I agree, his eyes are very expressive, and every single character he plays in a drama feels completely different. Not a single trace of his past roles.

Qi Zheng is so adorable with his big puppy eyes.

After Wu Xie, Fang Duo Bing, and Qi Zheng, there will be no more innocent characters portrayed by Joseph Zeng. So I'm gonna enjoy it until the end.

Wow, there's so much material today

So Youku finally bought the only remaining iQiyi drama from Joseph Zeng, since all of his other dramas Nine Gates, Ctrl Alt Life, Inverted Faith are on Youku.

Even after 2 years, ALHJ is still on top of China satellite TV ratings (exclude CCTV) https://mydramalist.com/photos/3o6OVA_3

I’m his drama fan. I’ll watch every drama he stars in. With the ups and downs in Chinese drama land, I hope he still has a steady and long journey.

There is a subtly difference between billing and order of main cast. Like this drama, for example, 4 main cast have equal billing (meaning equal status) as leads. But the order of the main cast (JJY-ZSX-CDL-TJR) is determined through intense contract negotiations based on actor's star power, payment, industry status, ability to attract investment, etc.

Doesn't include. Payment is determined by market value, historical performance, etc. Two actors might agree to "equal billing" for the sake of the production's image, while one still earns a higher payment behind the scenes based on their individual contract and industry clout.

Billing (known as fanwei 番位) doesn't refer to actor's payment but refers to the specific order in which actors' names appear in credits, promotional materials, and marketing.

Iqiyi application mentioned Q4 of 2026

Then he shouldn’t have offering the roles to them at the first place and let his own actor and actrees played the role instead . The only one who knew the total script is GJM

This drama is mainly about Jiling and his companions

usually considered good if the rating is more than 7 and more than 100,000 people have rated it

5.3 with 30,000 people gave rating

Yeah....This drama should be renamed Story of Jiling

Glad it's over. Now fans of CDL and ZSX can be free from this roller coster journey. Let's focus on their next role.

Listing him and CDL as supporting role wil only bring more backlash.

Sad to see my favorite actor only appear like 3s on today episode 😅. I hope tommorow will be better .
