Xu kai is expressing his dificultiese while playing roles in SAF ...https://twitter.com/XukaiAlbum/status/1750555586226467269
in ALP, he played the characters sequentially in separate time periods, the drama starts off with Bai Jue, across many episodes, then transitions to a future time period, Bai Jue is gone, in comes Boxuan, then another time period, out goes Boxuan, in comes Qing Mu for many episodes, then another time period, back to Bai Jue but also sometimes Qing Mu appears. But here in SAF6, he has to change to three (Jinzhao, Bian in mortal world, Bian at home) different personalities constantly. In the game, Bian acts similar to Jinzaho so that would not be very interesting to watch for a drama, and I can just hear critics say that Xu Kai plays two characters the same way.
When Qi blasted through the mine to save Jinchao three years ago at Wuyan Village, poor Jinzhao trying to earn traveling money, and Jinzhao said to her "say you are sorry" for risking her life to save him, she complies and says "sorry". So, the reason, their communication is like that you have to understand how Qi was at the beginning when she woke up. She had to learn communication from Jinzhao and she listened to him. The acting is very good. You can feel their special bond.
that means it's already on trajectory for 450M (200M/16=12.5M X 36 =450M) and it's only been airing for 7 days. They should have made 40 episodes, that would elevate the total view counts. I think you need at least 1B views for the year to get into the top ten for 2024. You really can't tell how popular a drama is from MDL, take for example, The Knockout only has 1,695 watchers on MDL but it was #1 in view count in 2023 with 6.2B total views.
For those verifying your phone no., it seems to be working. the verified has gone up from 7.66 to 8.02 today. Perhaps, the more people verify, the higher it will go and hopefully impact the final rating which is still stuck at 7.7.
both leads had clothes fully covered in the bathtub scene in ABAY and it looks very dry. haha. It was completely…
I'm hoping the trailer only showed the tamed moment and when we watch the drama, there are intense moments. I can't imagine a romantic bathtub scene that Xu Kai won't turn on the charm, and Han Ting is not shy, modest, inexperienced like Jinzhao. In ABAY, they are adults with lot of experience in life, so you'd think the bathtub scene should be way better.
Please can you verify your account because Verified stars rating has high impact on total rating ,go to SETTINGS…
How do you know that it is not factored into the overall rating? What if the reason that the verified is always lower than the watching or completed is because more low ratings are verified than high ratings? AJTL watching 8.95, completed 8.83, and verified 8.41 yet the final rating is only 8.7; while SOKP watching 8.64, completed 8.93, and verified 8.59, but final rating is 8.8, higher than AJTL. The only difference is in the verified rating. Something is pulling down the watching and completed. Same with WOL, watching 8.6, completed 8.72, and verified 8.32, but the final is only 8.5. Again, the verified is lower. Why is the verified lower? What if the high ratings all verified their phone no, then will the verified will rise and push the overall rating higher?
What happens if people do not rate all the episodes? What if low ratings tend to rate all episodes low but high ratings do not. What is the impact? They should really explain how they come up with the final score.
I don't know how it is done but if you flood it with user ratings that are not watchers, that can elevate the overall rating.
WOL bathtub scene versus SAF bathtub scene would make a great side by side comparison Both are intense but one is in pursuit, the other in retreat. Then coming up is the ABAY bathtub scene from the trailer, it looks tamed, respectful and professional, or is that misleading? Why suddenly every drama has bathtub scenes?
I'm on episode 13. It sounds like Qi, Jinzhao and Bian all knew each other before. Bian spent over ten yrs. with Qi who later disappeared and came back with Jinzhao and the two of them was sent to the mortal realm, and Bian was no longer allowed to communicate with her as himself. It's all part of some plan that has yet to be revealed. Bian took on the task of keeping an eye on them in the mortal realm but was not allowed to use the resonating spell on her or allow anyone to know his identity. It sounds like Jinzhao and Bian Luo Huan are two different people who look exactly alike, but why? Why is Bian the past and Jinzhao the present? Bian had to erase all her memories of him but after he saw her again with Jinzhao, he cannot move on without her.
I love this scene. These two have no clue. They are both so innocent. For once, Xu Kai is not a flirtatious playboy;…
later alone, they each are remembering the feeling of the their lips touching and Qi kissing the teacup, teapot, and her own finger and can't seem to find that same feeling. Jinzhao is feeling hot and content and understands that this is the feeling of intimacy.
I love this scene. These two have no clue. They are both so innocent. For once, Xu Kai is not a flirtatious playboy; instead, he is acting like a shy, modest, sensitive, innocent girl first time on a date, easily embarrassed.
Jinzhao: Mr. Gu said the deeper our bond, the more powerful Mindlink would be. Shall we try to deepen our bond further? Qi: How do we try? Jinzhao: The Ancients said the night was the best time to deepen the relationship. Qi: Just through watching the moon? Jinzhao: Of course not, there must be poems too. Qi: What poems? Jinzhao: Let me give it a try. Listen. Night after night, I yearn for you. Even the moon seems dimmed. What do you think? Qi: What does it mean? Jinzhao stares at her face intently his eyes darting back and forth looking for a reaction from her, wondering does it work? Then they go sword flying. It looked like he wanted to kiss her then staring at her, she seemed to lean in, he hesitated, leaned back and they lost balance and landed on the ground in an embrace. Qi: Have we bonded by doing this? Jinzhao: Perhaps. Maybe. I supposed. Qi: Then let's try again. Jinzhao: How do we try? Qi: You close your eyes first. She pulls on his cheeks with both hands. Jinzaho (irritated): This is how you try? He pulls on her cheeks Qi: Then you do it. Jinzhao is thinking what to do. Qi: Come on Suddenly, she sees something, pointing to it, she says look. Jinzaho turns around to look and then he turns his head back only to find his face and lips touching hers. He is incredulous and acting like a girl, he covers his mouth with his hands like how could we? But she is not least bothered by it since she doesn't' understand the meaning, but Jinzhao seems to understand it is an intimate act. Qi: Jinzhao, your lips are so soft. Jinzhao: Qi, do you have any idea (covering his mouth). Forget it. It's late Let's go back. Qi: You're blushing. let me see. Jinzhao is too embarassed.
i always wish for a drama where Xu kai and zhao lusi are the leads ....and xu kai and bailu can't come together…
it's very tragic and sad movie. I like zhao lusi and xu kai 's acting, very natural. my favorite scene when he is being the rich playboy, goes shopping, buys a lot of stuff to take to some old folks' home, and it was a birthday party, they danced, then they had a long talk about how sad and hard their lives are. that scene tugged at my heart. There were other very emotional scenes too. The story, the acting felt so real life to me. I couldn't believe this is their first movie into acting.
Miss Xiu: "Something's fishy"
I know it's just the translation but it's funny
