BCE looks to be her last supporting role. She's 88. Glad Xu Kai got to work with her because he has such a great connection with veterans. Their chemistry was amazing because they both had the same grace, elegance and charm that fit the roles. and came across like real life relatives. Their scenes were really good. Grandma really loved YZM. Grandma Mai understood YZM so well, even when she didn't trust him, she knew his heart (unlike the father in Eight Hundred). Unfortunately, she died, but YZM finally realized what she was trying to teach him.

What's the truth, hard-core-fans are paid to elevate the scores? Don't forget to con a bit more people to raise…
another China hater " living UNDER AN OPRESSIVE AND - YOU HAVE NO WORD - SYSTEM, " I'm okay they hate the system, but don't hate the Chinese people there was another user here earlier who was ranting about how Chinese people all need glasses and are stupid with no understanding of Chinese culture. Honestly, if they hate China and Chinese people why do they bother to watch Chinese dramas?
It's not about chemistry at all. The issue is that the romance isn't the kind that a lot of people were expecting…
this couple was not truly married at the beginning, only a formality a strategic alliance, that's why it took them a while to get use to each other. he even told her she can leave a few times.
What's the heat index? Reached 30k yet? Or still stuck at 28k?
Reaching 28k is considered a very popular drama and not too many reach 28k. Even less can reach 30k. So far this year only one reached 30k and another reached 31k, that's it, just two dramas.
If I hadn't seen Lin Mu Ran in POJ, I wouldn't have known what a good actor he is. He can play such different characters. In this role, I don't' know why but Dylan Wang comes to mind when I see his character.
MXY and Ye Li are so funny jabbing each other about their ex-fiancee's. 😂 but tell me why Su Zuidie was so…
I think it is what they call deadpan, I love it. Whoever that actress is, she pulled it off really good because she was able to bring out humor and looked dead serious at the same time. It fits deadpan humor built on flat delivery (minimal expression, as if nothing unusual is happening), a serious tone, and strong contrast (serious‑vs‑absurd or straight‑vs‑silly), with contextual support from the music, pacing, camera framing, and writing that all reinforce the vibe.
Ep24 has some cool scenes. I don't know who that actress is, but she gave vibes. When they were sitting there having frozen sweets and she gave the speech with this music in the background, making everyone nervous, it was great deadpan entertainment. I also enjoy that scene how she stabbed the guy with a short blade, his blood came gushing out of his mouth, the glass in his hands fell and shattered, she pushed his face and the camera showed his back falling to the ground, and she walked away ruthless and cold. These scenes have some punch to it. Sometimes when scenes are so well done, you don't' even need to know what drama you're watching, it just catches your attention. Like I've seen these kinds of scenes so many times, somehow this one really caught my attention. It must be piercing cold she was.
At least it shows the data is not fixed. I never trust those that reach and surpass heat index in just a few days.
Till the End of the Moon — Youku 29 Hours (~1.2 days) Unveil Jade Wind — Youku 74 Hours (~3 days) Feud — iQIYI 9 Days Story of Kunning Palace — iQIYI 11 Days
Is it so hard to reach a 30,000 heat index on WeTV? I remember we easily reached a 10,000 heat index on YouKu…
Bai Lu has a record of crossing 10K, but not 30K on Tencent (not yet). Till the End of the Moon (2023) — Youku 10000 for 36 days ! Story of Kunning Palace (2023) — iQIYI 10310 Feud (2025) — iQIYI 10008 Unveil Jade Wind (2026) — Youku 10016
Cheng Lei is dubbing himself. His Mandarin has Guangdong undertones.
Oh I see. Cheng Lei was born in Dongguan, Guangdong, China. That's pretty good that you can hear it. I found fan videos of him speaking Cantonese. I think his Cantonese has a noticeably different "vibe" compared to the Cantonese spoken in Hong Kong.
This is a Huanyu and Hesong collaboration. This director has delivered back‑to‑back hit dramas since 2018, stacking up nearly a dozen successes. With a track record that consistent, the odds of this one not becoming a hit feel pretty slim.
