The first spoiler below is the gameplay of Qi egg noodle scene from YouTube video at 13:45. You can watch it side by side with the drama scene in ep 35 to compare Esther superb re-enactment of Qi in this scene. The second spoiler is the same scene from Douban comparing to the drama side by side, The video shows Qi from the gameplay and the drama simultaneously side by side. It should dispel criticism of her Qi voice.
"The eye shift is awesome."
"Yu Shuxin's empathy ability is strong"
"Overall, she gives me the impression that her acting skills are very good, and she is a very smart person, and the completion of the role is relatively high. This prayer [Qi] is something I particularly like, and I think it is very spiritual. This paragraph from your main building has been in tears for me to see her emotions. Regardless of whether it is pension insurance or anything, as long as she maintains this attitude, I believe she will still have good works in the future."
"In fact, this part is better than the outburst, I think she acted better [than] before [different drama of Esther's where she had outburst of crying], endure not crying but her heart hurts to the point of numbness, it is more difficult to play than crying, and she has to make herself cry when she should cry. From her closing essay, it can be seen that her handling of this paragraph is very delicate, the emotional progression is in place, and the whole performance is very layered, and compared with her ignorant and innocent carefree in the early days, it makes people feel more heartbroken."
I saw on Douban discussion: "Hi6 will have Xu Kai in the preview next week." "He is much thinner than in the play." "It's just him, he's đŸ¥° going to promote Starlight."
I remember he was fat shamed in ancient love poetry, I didn't know he was also fat shamed in falling into your…
AvenueX took a dig at him in her review of ALP. She said "Xu Kai can't control his weight." What kind of movie critic is that? What does his weight have to do with anything? It never occurred to me he had a weight problem or was considered "fat" until I heard her say it. All that time, I thought what a lovely angelic face he has. I
That’s crazy. That pictures of XuKai in the video that made people say he is fat - like really? This is what…
Esther gets hated on because of her family background so she has to work harder to prove herself. Xu Kai gets hated on because he didn't go to acting school and is good-looking, so he has to work harder to prove himself.

What I like most about Xu Kai is his devotion to his parents, buying drinks for fans, buying drinks for the crew on set, seems to care about his fans, helping his female costars, lending a hand on the set, showing kindness to extras on the set, etc. I think he's sincere, he's trying to improve himself every day in his personal life and career. He's humble and self-aware that he has a lot to work on.
I'm sorry but even as a casual fan I don't like Esther's baby voice here. I didn't mind it in Love between Fairy…
I'm sorry it bothers you, but I adore her voice in this drama. Her voice was not always high pitched in this drama. There were later scenes when she became more serious around others, she started to lose the childish voice.
In which episode did they get together?In which episode did they breakup and get back again?Any love triangle…
This is not your typical romance drama. There is romance but the focus is not romance but on self-discovery, lasting friendships, solving problems, finding courage, achieving objectives, and accepting fate. The characters are very mature and smart people except for one little girl. Other than some jealousy, there is no real love triangle or breakups. The ending is not your typical ending, but it offers hope for a happy future.
if you are a fan of Esther Yu, you will surely enjoy her performance in episode 35 so it's worth watching the entire drama to watch that scene. She has been praised highly in many reviews for that noodle scene, but in order to grasp her emotions, you have to understand her character and her relationship and bond with Jinzhao, and how significant a bowl of egg noodle is in her 3 years.
I hope you try it and don't give up on it. If you don't mind spoilers now, you can fast forward to watch ep. 23 where they unravel about Kun and the Yu people, then go back to the beginning. It won't give away the mystery. The drama is worth watching if you enjoy a good cast of characters and good acting. It's also rather emotional drama full of heartache and tragedies so beware but the ending is full of hope for a new beginning. I consider it a happy ending because in real-life, we don't always get a second chance, so this is truly a happy ending to me.
The director is new, and his style is measured but overall, the cast, chemistry, and the acting is very strong and makes up for it in my opinion.

I think the whole weight thing did get to him. He lost a lot of weight, and his face is drawn in and changes his looks and expressions. But I think he gained some weight back recently. It is hard for him to keep up the workouts with his busy work schedule. The people criticizing him some of them probably don't even work out every day.

I like his fuller face. It is more expressive and healthier, more youthful glow to it. Also, the camera actually makes actors faces look fatter than they really are. His handsomeness is not in the shape of his face but it is in his eyes and other features on his face, and expressions and mannerisms and charm that comes from within the person. I have no problem with his fuller face in ALP. It doesn't matter if he gained some weight, his face is so charmingly expressive. His charm is also not typical of Asians, but more typical of Hollywood.
Here is a video talking about Xu Kai's fat-shaming someone mentions below that's crazy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmADuSQsaoU
This is why Kun went bersek with the dark human emotions. People can be so cruel, esp. on social media. In my opinion, Xu Kai perfect figure is rare for Asian man. He is over 6'1", has broad shoulders, wide chest, long legs, long arms, exquisite hands, long graceful fingers. Most Asian men even if 6ft, but they still can't get away from the typical skinnier more narrow Asian body structure, which is shorter sloped shoulders and narrower chest.
The ending is happy, it's perfect, and well written, makes sense. If you haven't try this drama, then you haven't experienced everything in drama life.
