With a production team like that it's hard to expect good drama.with the drama feeling like a similar situation to "court lady" the lower excitement is expected.im looking forward to "fire investigator" instead of this one
No.they are still not promoting the drama.they only promoting xu kai's character "shen run" for xu kai's sake but they aren't making reservations or spend money to promote the drama like actors fandoms usually do.the boycott is still ongoing. Some fans made reservations for xu kai's sake but as you can see from reservation count it's not the majority at all (check reservations on xu kai other dramas for comparison)
But with how they treated the cast and repeating same clips I don't blame them for continuing the boycott.they were patient enough to tolerate snow eagle lord,moonlit reunion and many other dramas.we can't expect them to tolerate production teams shady behavior forever.and they have every right to decide how they spend their money and time
xk never tried to maintain a specific persona.he have a big fandom but his fandom is consist of people who got to know him through his dramas,unlike traffic stars who have more ways to attract new fans like singing,dancing,constant variety show appearance which xk don't have.his acting is the only way he attract new fans
and traffic actors don't play all type of roles.they usually stick to idol genre and never try other genre until they get old or lost popularity.xu kai is different in that aspect too.he never stick to one genre and express his desire to explore different genres since the beginning.unfortunately his agency is his worst enemy which made him lost good opportunities to explore new genres in his early days.
Im aware.that's why I disagreed with that part of previous comment.and reservation aren't low due to lack of popularity,but rather because majority of his mainland fans are boycotting the drama
Respectively,no.there's a reason why xk was able to get 100m popularity index while tx didn't.her character was…
Moonlit renuion couldn't do well without her ? I can't with your delusion. Who is she even ? Is she a A lister ? No. Have a huge fb ? No.Known by general audience? No.ever carried a drama alone ? No The only thing she seems to carried was nepotism and legacy of being "favorite child" Getting unnecessary amount of screen time in every drama when it's always her co stars who carry the drama.other actors or actresses don't have that privilege
Respectively,no.there's a reason why xk was able to get 100m popularity index while tx didn't.her character was…
Funny how you only keep talking,try to drag xk but can't show any articles or any proof showing he is a bad actor
and when txw ever carry a drama before poj for platforms and investors to trust her ? Or are you saying she is Nepo baby (with how she get the most screen time even when the ml is more popular or a lister I won't be surprised tbh ) who get Disney + support through connection without any achievements to show her worth ?
And since she is so capable can you show me a drama where she surpassed her ml in the charts.even in poj with all that screen time and crazy promo her character didn't able to surpass zlh
You seems have a kink to embarrass yourself and your fav
Come out of your delusional bubble,why insult yourself and your fav txw like this ?
I understand you want to praise your fav,but entertainment industry doesn't work that way Xk is a A lister in c-ent since years now.while tian xiwei wasn't known before poj.even after poj she still isn't a A lister.even their fandom sizes are different
But you think think they invest in a drama because of her ? Not because xk,A lister who he can carry the drama,but tian xiwei who was a literal nobody in mainland or globally ? And show me one drama she carried alone before poj? Even during poj zlh topped maoyan and yunhe charts In poj and moonlit reunion she got way more screen time than her ml's.yet unable to get more popular than ml characters.but you are bragging about her carrying a drama
ngl, Xi Wei carried this drama all the way to the end. ML was surprisingly good (not throwing shade at the actor).…
Respectively,no. there's a reason why xk was able to get 100m popularity index while tx didn't.her character was popular but she wasn't the one who carried the drama.xu kai had less screen time than support roles while tian xiwei,book demon,second lead couple have more screen time,and rumors about xk were hit just after few days of airing yet xk character did well.
Lets not use the phrase "x,y carry the drama" when one actor attract more audience,more investments than the others.
More screen time doesn't equal to carrying the drama.
personal preferences and reality are two different things.personal preferences aren't facts,let's not confuse them and be considerate
(No shade to tx or other actors,I enjoyed every character,they did well.but as I said preferences doesn't change facts )
based on what xukai said in a recent interview, his other drama SOTB most probably will be released first, then…
I hope so.they got the distribution licence and finished dubbing.since the drama was filmed in 2024 I don't think they will wait another year to release it
I agree with all you said except the part you mentioned about only being popular in the fan circle.xu kai isn't a traffic star but he is popular outside the fan circle.he is one of the most globally known c actors.mainly because of FIYS,most people knows him.
That's because c-alasos are still boycotting the drama.some c-alasos stop boycotting after material release and hi6 but most are continuing the boycott.the increasement may mainly come from general audience who watch hi6
this drama is approaching two years since it wrapped
Yes.if they postpone the drama like this and push it to next year it will look old and audience may not like it, like what happened with old dramas that released years after filming ends.even though the genre isn't historical or fictional people will still notice it's not recently filmed.so it's better if they release it within this year
Some fans made reservations for xu kai's sake but as you can see from reservation count it's not the majority at all (check reservations on xu kai other dramas for comparison)

with most dramas there's rumors atleast but with this one,we don't even have any rumors about release day.
It's so frustrating.i hope we get to see this within this year atleast
