In ep 13, that was a Xu Kai moment as he passed by the fl, he flashed a huge grin, then turned back to throw her a kiss with two fingers of both hands and shouts "It's Me", then turn back again and with both hands behind him, he shakes them in playful gesture.
XK did a great job acting the growth stages of his character.

The older actors like ml's father's is such a great actor. Such a treat to get to watch this kind of acting.

As I'm reading parts of the novel, XK's subtle and nuanced acting is appropriate for this role.

"clear and handsome face with bright eyes", "tall with long legs", "smile slightly", "hands were slender and joints strong", "those five fingers moved like teasing a cat", "faintly smiled and pulled the corners of his mouth", "lips curved slightly", "eight parts of his smile expressed disbelief, while the remaining two parts expressed his jest", "hands against his lips", "expression was calm", "no discernible emotion", "gently touched his lips with his index finger and suddenly smiled", "mouth curved into a smile", "broad and powerful back", "body was solid and upright", "poker face", "charismatic", "tall and handsome", "faint smile appeared at corners of his mouth", "well-cut suit", "calm and slightly solemn expression", "clear peach blossom eyes", smiled as his eyes curved in a beautiful arc", "polite smile devoid of meaning", "slow smile", etc.

not only physical abuse but verbal and they have no confidence in life. MCH and her brother does not look like abused children to me.

wisest comment ever!

A Douban review translation:
Is the inheritance distributed by Mak Seunghuan because of the bloody plot
Do you understand Cheng Huanji? What is your opinion on the distribution of inheritance? Is it really unrealistic? Let's look at detail 1: Grandma knew that Yao Zhiming came back to curry favor with her for a purpose, and in her words, she thought that Zhiming was very similar to his grandfather, a refined egoist, capable and businessman. Detail 2: Before Zhang met his grandmother, she knew that her grandson's ultimate goal was contrary to her own philosophy. She borrowed Mai Chenghuan's mouth to tell him that to do a hotel in China must not only be professional, but also humane. However, she also knew that Yao Zhiming's experience could not be changed immediately, and after Zhang told her, her grandmother did not have much time to accompany her grandson to grow up. Detail 3: The content of the will was changed at the moment before death, in the TV series, the lawyer had already come to the grandmother when she was first admitted to the hospital, and it was changed before she was discharged from the hospital, it can only be said that the grandmother is actually very entangled, it is after careful consideration, and if it is all by blood, or all by her own hobbies, does she need to think about it for so long and change it so many times? Detail 4: Grandma's will is to let the law firm keep the property rights for 10 years before taking over the Xin'anli hotel group, according to Mai Chenghuan's tonality, he will not compete with Yao Zhiming for the inheritance, of course, Mai Chenghuan's ability will not suffer anywhere, not so much that she is afraid that Mai Chenghuan has not yet matched Yao Zhiming's ability, but more should want to give her grandson a 10-year probation period by giving Mai Ma benefits, give him a home, and also give her grandson the last one to change into a humane child, so as to continue the hotel career with his own philosophy. And not just because of which child you love more. At the same time, grandma can see that Yao Zhiming likes Mai Chenghuan, but love is not enough to support emotional stability, such as grandma and ex-husband. So don't say it's unrealistic, you must know that grandma is not an ordinary woman, in Yishu's works, grandma is a very powerful character, she is independent in her time, and has her own decisions, and in her eyes, Mai Chenghuan inherits her will, and is the big heroine of the next generation

"Yang Zi's drama is really as good as ever. Acting in daily life is her forte. Xu Kai turned out to be unexpectedly good. Guangzhou's accent is also in line with his boss's temperament. The most important thing is that he's really handsome. And He Saifei acted really well!!"

The two times we learn about YZM's troubled childhood was when he opened up to MCH, the first time was in the hospital after she took care of him, and the second time was after grandma passed away, they sat on the terrace of grandma's place, and he opened up again. Yet another time was when he was at Xing'anli with her, he looked at the tree and told her he recall some pleasant childhood memories playing by the tree.

It's not just the way ML looks, but the way he moves. What another Chinese actor can create a similar act like this? There is no one else. This character belongs to XK only, he completely owns it. Every single expression and movement of his in this entire performance only XK can create for this character. His portrayal is iconic. Any other actor the character would not have been iconic. This is why he received Best Actor award for this character. This is why he's more popular overseas than in China. He has special or unique qualities not found in other Chinese actors.

In Ep 31 Mr. Mai and YZM are fishing, YZM said "Mr. Mai, although I am not sure how long I can be with Huan, I can promise that I will cherish every moment I spend with her." I took that to mean they may or may not end up together in the future.

XK: "If there is an actor in the crew who cares the most and gives the most sincerity, that must be Teacher Yang Zi".

The naive mom was also scammed into the whole engagement party by the ex bf's sister when she was most vulnerable.

XK and YZ Interview Eng Sub. I really enjoy this interview after having watched the drama.

I'm surprised Tan Jianci didn't rose to stardom until recently in this drama LYF (source: Wikipedia). When I watched Court Lady, outside of Xu Kai, I only noticed him (well, he did have quite a bit of screen time with fl, and I thought, "who is this actor, he's really good".

There is something about Wang Kai that makes me think of Xu Kai, even though they are very different. I can't find it anymore, but I came across a video of Wang Kai singing Pearl of the Orient, and I couldn't but help notice that it sounded so similar to Xu Kai's version, similar timbre and same emotional tone but Wang Kai is a professional singer with well-trained voice, while Xu Kai is amateur singer with a great voice. Yes, I do realize that Wang Kai professional level in acting is way higher than Xu Kai because of their backgrounds. But Xu Kai has his own special quality that is rare. I clicked onto an episode of FTY and was hooked immediately by Seven Tan and Wang Kai chemistry and performance. I hope you will enjoy as much as I did.

I love her on screen presence.

what do you make of this video? Is it accurate?

Wow, Seven Tan's drama Flight to You (1.938B views) and Road Home (1.57B views) were huge success. Flight to You even surpassed Oath of Love. Here's wishing more success to Seven Tan (and Xu Kai). I discovered Wang Kai after watching Flight to You. Xu Kai and Wang Kai are similar in that they are both classy men.

I came across a You Tube video that listed the top ten Chinese dramas with over 1B views.
SHPH was ranked #4 with 1.44B total views.

BCE is currently ranked #6 on the Yunhe annual list for 2024 with 22 days of airing and 37 episodes. Other dramas may have more episodes or aired earlier which doesn't seem fair if a drama airs at the end of the year.
