I watched only one of her videos when Heroes in Harm's Way came out and her attitude really rubbed me the wrong way so I made sure not to watch her anymore. She can boycott him for all I care, no harm there.

I guess different people would give different answers, it depends on what you like. I watched 14 episodes so far and I think it's good. Things are finally starting to get interesting with the appearance of Ji Chong , certain characters are also showing their true colors and all in all it feels like the plot is finally moving forward. If I were you I would watch a few more episodes and decide then. [I did like the beginning and the relationship between ML and FL as well so we may just have a different taste]

Well, I have nothing against people dropping dramas and giving them low ratings, however, watching one episode and rating the whole drama 1 is just unreasonable. 1/5 is not much. It's like 3-4 episodes of a 16 ep. show. One of my first k-dramas was The Royal Gambler and I absolutely hated the first 2-3 episodes but I forced myself to continue watching and in the end it turned out to be quite enjoyable. I'm not saying people should force themselves to watch something they don't like, but I'm glad ratings of those who didn't even give some shows a chance won't be counted. You can drop something after 1-2 episodes and not rate it.

I agree with you about the rating system being flawed tho. It's impossible for everyone to be satisfied with it. Personally, when I search for something to watch I don't look at ratings but at the genre/plot/actors/comments and in most cases end up watching things that are enjoyable to me.

I actually like this change. I've seen plenty of people watch 1 or 2 episodes then drop the drama and give it 1-2. How are you rating something that you haven't even bothered to watch? It just doesn't make sense, at all. 1/5 sounds reasonable and counts ratings from those who at least gave it a chance before deciding it's rubbish and dropping.

Well, to be honest I don't know what's happening with The Wolf either. Most people still haven't completed and rated it so I would wait until we have more data. Talking about Xiao Zhan and his works that are affected - f.ex. short film Buying Ears was rated by 70 people and according to MDL 93% of those ratings are 8-10 but average rating is 7.6 (it dropped from 9.5). I'm not saying MDL is targeting his works (lol) but I don't really understand how those algorithms work after this change.

There are probably some people who are making fake accounts to either boost or lower the ratings so I hope these new changes will make things better. As far as I'm concerned average of 9.5 from people who completed and 4.75 from people who dropped it after few episodes says enough [and that's after the change].

Which one got the boost? From what I've seen they all dropped or stayed the same, most of them by 0.1-0.2. Either way, fake ratings/accounts should be deleted. Ratings from those who didn't even complete the shows should be counted less imo but that's a whole other story.

It does, the ending is really satisfying.

done. thanks btw, I didn't even know verification was a thing lol

I feel the need to share seeing how not many people have seen them and the creator is so talented (and their videos are really unique)! :D

There are 12 subbed episodes so far and they upload 6 more every week. You can watch here:

I actually agree with you when it comes to the ML and can understand your point of view seeing how you watched only 14/46 episodes, but in my opinion the best part of this show comes in the last 15 or so episodes. Not trying to tell you to give it another shot or anything, just saying there is actually a good reason for a high rating it has. But yeah, I agree that ML's hypocrisy is unbearably annoying.

Throughout the show I couldn't really decide whether I liked the ML or not. Even though he had some good moments most of the time I found him annoying and less interesting than the rest of the supporting characters, but in the end he won me over. The beginning was a bit slow and draggy, but the second part of the show (especially after they leave the capital) is amazing. It kept me on my toes until the end and that last episode completely blew me away. I didn't plan on giving it 10/10 but I have no other choice after that.

I really hope they keep the same cast for the second season. I originally came for Xiao Zhan but the whole supporting cast is outstanding.

People who don't want to see any spoilers should just stop visiting this page, for real. It's insane how many inconsiderate people there are (╬ಠ益ಠ). Do yourself a favor and stop checking this comment section.

Np! ^.^
Yeah, it was before The Untamed. It's one of his first roles.

It was filmed in 2017, and you can watch it here [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLpghCOjR4QqrKjwKw-jkbWAbH6g08q1SR]. Use VPN if it's not available in your country. You can also watch it on Viki [https://www.viki.com/tv/35890c]. Hope that helps :)

Sorry, I'm just curious, what do you mean by the new law of 40 episodes?

Is there some specific reason why you have doubts? We all have different tastes when it comes to TV shows so I can't say that you'll definitely love it if you continue watching, but I can say that the first episode really isn't enough to decide whether this particular show is good or not. I was hesitant at first because there were 50 episodes and I wasn't used to that, and then I decided to watch it and I got intrigued after the first episode (even though I thought it was a bit cringey) but only after 10+ episodes have I realized how much I actually love it. It takes some time for the story to pick up momentum but once you get to that point you'll know why so many people love it.

Yeah, that's what I plan to do. The only reason I'm willing to pay at all is Xiao Zhan. Btw, WeTV is international version of Tencent, right?

Ah, okay. Thank you! :D

Can someone explain how these VIP subscriptions work? Do we buy it only for one specific drama or is it a monthly subscription & how much does it cost? I would like to 'officially' support Xiao Zhan's work but I'm completely clueless when it comes to this （・∩・）
