Xu Kai said he's been waiting to turn 30 so he can do his dream roles and he never mentioned it included campus romances.

for top actors, endorsements, brand ambassadorships, and commercial deals bring in more than acting fees

I'm not familiar with Weibo Ratings but I looked up a few dramas and compared Weibo versus Douban, so Weibo 8.2 is a good indicator should be able to get Douban of 7


"SO brand stir-fried pork burger: worth more. Douban scores should be remembered to maintain, there are many malicious scoring @影视剧方圆八百米"

"Take another bite of Tingzi porridge: 8.2 is low, this drama is not more than 9 points is unreasonable, you can give yourself a snack on the drama!! Can Douban be maintained well?"

I believe this drama will definitely receive awards because it is such a rare drama. The ratings don't reflect its quality at all.

try watching fewer then

EightHundred is a Tencent Exclusive. It's not even on Viki.

If a drama is on iQIYi, Tencent, Netflix, and CCTV, it should have more viewers than one that is only on Tencent

I think you meant low budget, but they still made it look high quality

Xu Kai definitely made a lot less doing this role, but he followed his heart not money or popularity.

That's not how Yu Zheng's business strategy works.

Directors love Xu Kai. The director gave Xu Kai the script.

"Put on the skin of Europe, America, Japan and South Korea at least four stars, and hedge those who nitpick and give one star"

It's good to know I'm not the only one who notices these 1-star nitpickers — people who tank the rating over one tiny detail they didn’t like.

when she opened the contact lens case I saw yellow liquid

an 8 is not a bad rating on MDL, It's actually normal rating for many solid to great dramas.
It's only bad when other dramas are inflated

Douban 5.5 can be 8.5 on MDL

Someone who gave it 2 stars wrote: “Is this plot really reasonable? Can you really hold a few drops of urine in a contact lens case? And you’re telling me he can just take it out of the bathroom garbage with his bare hands and give it to others???”

My take, of course it’s plausible; in fact, it's doable. A typical contact lens case can hold roughly 2–3 ml per well, for a total of 4–6 ml if both sides are used at the normal fill line. That’s already more than enough for basic drug test strips. And that’s conservative — if you fill both wells to the absolute maximum, the case can actually hold up to around 9–10 ml total. Most simple drug test strips only need 1–3 ml to work properly. In 1997 in a small mining town in China, they weren’t using sophisticated testing equipment — just basic dipsticks that change color if they detect drugs. They didn’t check temperature or other validity markers. The only tricky part is transferring the urine from the round contact lens case into the narrow opening of the test tube, but it’s still doable, especially when someone is desperate.

Douban shows a snapshot of the latest 100 comments only. It's a rolling thing. If ten new comments come in, they remove the oldest ten. The latest average of 99 comments shows more 3's and 4's and less 5's but the average is still holding above 7. I think Douban is waiting to see more ratings after the finale because it's not stable yet. This is a pretty heavy ending, and it could polarize some viewers. You can't trust the average if it's full of fake comments, but I think it's ok here.

I like the phrase someone used here to describe this drama an "emotional earthquake."

I never expected MDL to rate it above an 8. So, if it lands at 8.1, that basically means it’s really an 8.6. With Xu Kai dramas, you always have to mentally add about 0.5.
