I hope Bai Lu continues to have the freedom to explore more diverse projects and work with a wider range of talented actors and production teams. She has already proven her talent, dedication, and popularity, and her performances continue to speak for themselves.
It would be wonderful to see her take on more roles that inspire her and allow her to showcase different sides of her abilities. She deserves opportunities that help her grow, shine, and continue building an amazing career.
I'm also happy to see the genuine friendships and supportive colleagues around her. I hope Bai Lu and the people who care about her continue to encourage each other, stand together, and share many more successful and meaningful experiences. Wishing Bai Lu endless happiness, success, and exciting opportunities ahead.
During a game segment promoting Pursuit of Jade, he and co-star Tian Xiwei were tasked with sketching portraits of each other. Upon seeing the "unflattering", cartoonish sketch she drew of him, Zhang Linghe blurted out: "I feel like I was born in Southeast Asia."
Weight loss reduces facial fat and can make the jawline look more defined, but it doesn't change bone structure or make the nose narrower. Comparing Story of Kunning Palace and Pursuit of Jade carefully, there's more than just a leaner face. "He just lost weight" isn't a very scientific explanation...
I really don’t understand why ZLH and TXW are not paired for something soon… the creators should encash on…
I honestly don't get the obsession. I thought they had very little chemistry. Their romantic scenes felt awkward rather than natural, and there were so many moments where she seemed to pull away that I never bought into them as a couple. Pairing them up again wouldn't suddenly fix that.
Can someone convince me to continue Pursuit of Jade? 😭 It's so good and so intense that I can't bring myself…
You're at Episode 33? That's the perfect place to stop. I watched Episodes 34–40 at 1.5× speed, skipped plenty of filler, and still regretted finishing it. I only stuck with it because I'd already sunk 30 hours into the drama. The ending was a huge letdown.
i'm seeing some new haters A 9.1 rating doesn’t just appear out of nowhere—it’s because a large number of…
That's a lot of words, but most of it is about popularity, not quality. A drama having billions of views, high ratings, trending OSTs, Gucci campaigns, or popular actors doesn't automatically make the writing, acting, pacing, or ending good.
You're also confusing criticism with hate. I criticised the storyline, the unrealistic legal scenes, and the ending. You responded by listing Netflix rankings and Weibo trends, which don't address any of those points.
"If it was bad, people would've dropped it" isn't a strong argument either. People finish dramas for all sorts of reasons—they're invested, they like the cast, or they hope it gets better.
And "if you don't like it, make one yourself" is one of the weakest arguments there is. You don't need to be a director to recognise poor writing, just like you don't need to be a chef to know when a meal isn't good.
You're entitled to love Pursuit of Jade. I'm equally entitled to think it was overrated. Popularity doesn't make criticism invalid, and criticism doesn't make someone a hater.
How is this #6? I genuinely don't get it. I can't help but think many people were drawn in by the attractive cast and the heavily edited visuals rather than the drama itself.
The acting was mediocre, the storyline was poorly written, and the legal scenes were so unrealistic that they made a mockery of the justice system. Characters repeatedly ignored courtroom rules with little consequence, making the plot difficult to take seriously.
The ending was another major letdown—it felt abrupt, incomplete, and barely qualified as an ending.
The cast also looked so heavily filtered and enhanced on screen that it was distracting. Compared with their real-life appearances, the difference was striking, making the production feel more focused on creating flawless visuals than telling a compelling story.
For me, Pursuit of Jade is all style and very little substance. I honestly don't understand how it ended up ranked #6.
Filing a lawsuit against these desperate, imaginary rumors is the perfect response. Let the sore losers cry in the corner while Bai Lu moves on to a completely different league. They are just mad they can't ride her coattails anymore.
Wishing Bai Lu a smooth and successful transition with her new independent team! 💕
Best martial arts display I have ever seen in a C-drama.I kept going from episode to episode because the adventure was so engaging and the puzzle pieces fit together perfectly. The CGI was amazing, but Yang Yang’s acting completely stole the show.
He didn't just play a hero; he embodied him. Instead of being a stiff, boring robot, he brought genuine warmth to the role with subtle smiles that made him feel like a real, reliable friend. His physical control in the fight scenes was unmatched—every move was crisp and powerful.
You can truly feel the weight of his performance. He masterfully acted out the heartbreak of a self-sacrificial man, especially in how he portrayed the heavy guilt of protecting that rescued child. Even his boundaries with the female partner were perfectly acted—proper and respectful, yet fiercely protective.
PSA: Learn from my mistake and do NOT turn it off when the credits roll. The ending makes total sense if you watch the post-credits scene!
