I just think Magnolia awards is those kind which focus more on senior actors looking at the list of even past years. Cheers to Wang Yibo I'm sure he'll win it in the future. He has great potent
Marus thank you for the updates , I'm looking forward for Xiao Zhan 's new drama Zang Hai Zhuan . Belated Happy Birthday to the beautiful Dilraba . Cheers 😊
Hello Marcus am looking forward to watching Xiao Zhan to drama again thank you for your awesome updates am watching Joy To Life S2 my cdrama list getting longer but I enjoy watching cdrama very much Marcus have Happy New Month cheers see you on❤❤ Tuesday ❤❤❤❤
Hello Marcus! I’ve watched a couple of episodes of “The Double” it’s very interesting and intriguing that made me subscribe for VIP, hope the drama stays that way till the end. Also, I’m looking forward to Xiao Zhan newest drama. Have a great evening and thanks for the updates.
Finished watching insect detective two gave it a 9/10; it was very good even though the ending was a bit rushed. I do like that type of genre and it’s very different from your regular crime dramas. Congratulations to XZ and crew for wrapping this 5 month shoot. Waiting for Reba’s song on Spotify. It’s her bday June 3rd. The guys looked pretty great at the GQ creative event. I follow two people that went to that thing, and they looked pretty snazzy as did the others that I recognized. On the topic of the magnolia awards, all I can say is that the veteran actor deserved the nomination. As do all the veteran actors in that category. Just because someone is the male lead doesn’t necessarily mean he will get nominated for that award. That’s not just them, that’s how actual awards work internationally as well that are not fan voted but are strictly based on a committee’s choice.
I watched The Double last night and it is super good. I love the plot, the transitions and most definitely the characters. I love how the leads are all so smart. I like WXY’s character the most he seems so morally grey and that intrigued me to see what he would do next plus I love the way they introduce him ( The Red suits him so much). I also like how Jiang Li is not blinded by revenge which could make her reckless like the other female leads with this kind of plot.

Hi Marcus I am watching Insect Detective 2 and truly enjoying it. I watched To The Wonder and was totally mesmerized. What an incredible film. It was so beautifully done, I felt like these were real folk and we were watching a documentary series. I felt like it was about appreciating the wonders of their land, culture, language, animals and love. I hope it garners many awards. Have a great week. JOY
I like YBC's words!... Didn't C-entertainment say they lack and need new blood in the industry... Magnolia...what a funny way to motivate young actors! Anyway if Magnolia is about awarding senior actors...no senior actor needs to compete for main roles anymore, they just need to be 2nd/3rd/4th and still be chosen for the nominations... Speaking of fairness,what a joke. A serious awards indeed!
Hi Marcus! Thanks for the updates). My plan for this week is to check a number of new dramas since I've finished Kdrama The Lovely Runner. First on my list are The Double and My wife's double life. ❤
Hi Marcus, it has clearly been a big trend recently to cast traffic actors alongside proper serious actors and in all cases, the performances speak for themselves and it is good that the industry is equitable about recognizing that in the Magnolia Awards nomination process. Wang Yang is a grey character but I would not call him the villain in War of Faith, Zhang Tian Yang is actually the villain and he also delivered an amazing performance. If I had to rank the performances it would be Wang Yang, Zhang Tian Yang, Li Qin and Wang Yibo. Yibo did indeed deliver a performance that makes me take him seriously going forward but the entire cast is incredibly strong. Lan Xiya also made a huge impression and is a new talent to watch; she also appeared briefly in Netflix's version of Three Body as a Red Guard. I am sad JOL2 has come to an end until S3 but The Double is surprisingly good and consoling me somewhat.

They use these "traffic" artists to get their projects attention. They pushed Wyb front and center to promote it. All promotional posters had Yibo in the front before, during, and after UNTIL this nomination. Now they have WY in front 😏. But regardless of how they used him, wyb more than delivered in his role as the main character. I can't help but think it's a slap to Yibo for production to have submitted WY under ML.
@@ang3432 I know you're his fan, and I do understand your frustration, but there is such a thing as co-stars. I'm not here defending or not defending anyone.

Like I said these production companies use these artist's popularity to get what they want...and then 🤷🏻♀️ Also some ppl are questioning as to whether it's true if yibo's name really was submitted... Idk where this is coming from but it be nice if the producers of the drama would say something. And there has been talk for some time (not just this time or just this award) that "traffic" artists are frowned upon with these awards. And there is a judge on the jury who has made his feelings known publicly on "traffic" artists. There's been many times when the older person with certain credentials is nominated where general public disagrees. So I don't hold much weight to it especially when they only see a snippet of the drama. You clearly think WY did better but WY's acting was not the one being acknowledged by GP, critics, and media, during and after the drama ran.
Upcoming to air 1 JIN YONG WUXIA NEW UNIVERSE Tentatively in June by TENCENT.Since The tale of RED ROSE to air on 8 June total 38 episodes so logically this drama should air after it finishes Both dramas by TENCENT 2 Jade 's Fateful love Tentatively in June Both on dramalist to watch
I think the submission for the awards is flawed. The director clearly stated in an interview that the Main character was Wei Ruolai and the drama revolved around his story. The drama began with WRL's dialogue and ended with WRL's dialogue. Bc WY was billed 3rd lead doesn't mean his character wasn't a supporting character to the MAIN one. Also throughout the airing of the drama the most talked about character was Wei Ruolai by general public, critics, and media. And even after it aired they still kept praising him. Shen Tunan, WY's character, didn't generate the same attention. In no way shape or form did wyb lag behind wy. This isn't just Yibo fans being upset but many non fans that watched the show and loved Wei Ruolai. That being said ppl need to behave reasonably and not cause unnecessary drama.
The drama was billed with both of them as leads (along with LQ), from the very first announcement. This was a co-lead drama. WYB himself didn't take top billing, he signed up for the drama on the basis that he'd be sharing billing with the other two. If he was happy to accept that arrangement, you should be too.
@@ManyGhosts Sorry, you're wrong. There was a billing order and Wang Yang was 3rd. Placement is a big deal in Chinese dramas and films. It's not my thing but you're not going to whitewash it. It was very clear in all advertising, marketing, and promotional materials that Yibo was TOP billing. And I'll repeat what I already put in my post. The director stated the storyline centered around Wei Ruolai's character. Which means the other characters revolved around him.
@@ManyGhosts how come every advertisement, publication, postings had yibo's name first from day 1? How come every poster had Yibo front and center with the other two behind? In interviews and promotional events, it was evident who they were highlighting. I mean c'mon look where the kept positioning him. So if I'm to believe what you're saying that they were all equal leads, then please answer my my questions.
Zhao Lusi 's new drama confirmation 🎉- Booting to be held on June 10. Tencent's urban drama "Promise to Be Dazzling" is adapted from Zhang Yueran's novel "Da Qiao Xiao Qiao". Starring: Zhao Lusi Shooting period of 110 days.
Looks like some decent watching ín the new dramas, though nothing spectacular. Not surprised by the top tens, though I'm amused that JOL1 is 4th on the web drama list... LoL looking forward to watching a lot more after this week!
Please Marcus, how did you know both Wang Yang and Wang Yibo were both submitted? Did the crew communicate with you? If they did, tell them to clarify that to drama and actors' fans instead of being mute. This isn't the first something of this nature has happened and the crew clarified themselves.
@@ohitsmsollie.ollielee893 I doubt but if that's the truth, what's preventing the crew from saying so? Nobody is going blame or question them if they will give that answer.
First wof is not a double male lead ,it was crystal clear.Yibo is the only male protagonist and these words come from the director mouth himself (he is acting dead right now ) shame on wof team for using wangyibo If its based on acting ,then its undeniable that it should be THE WANG YIBO and not the lousy wangyang,that should bagged the nomination but seeing the post of one the jury yesterday ,im not surprised why they let a mediocre acting pass ,lmao . now i clearly understand that magnolia standard for acting is the actor who shout here and there and do nothing but shout ,okay noted And take note , one jury said ,they hate traffic stars ,so however excellent your acting is like wei roulai ,they will only pick middle aged uncle mediocre acting : one should be old , with money and backers ,and no acting except shouting to get into magnolia jury's eyes PS : FOR THOSE WHO DIDNT WATCH WAR OF FAITH ,don't come at us yapping how good middle aged uncle is and he blah blah because you sound like a clown !!!!
Hi Marcus, I watched the first two episodes of the double, and they are marvelous. I love Wu Jinyan. The scenes reminded me of the princess Weiyoung, but I am excited to see how the rest continues. You, Benchang, are such a lovely senior. I still have not been able to watch Blossom Shanghai. Is it available anywhere with English subs? Still watching JOL S2. Following both the double and JOL S2 Thanks, Marcus, and I hope you had a good weekend.
Base on your report , Magnolia awards discriminate young Leading actors . Disappointing . They don’t explain how Wang Yibo was dropped off . Yibo performance in WOF was outstanding. Yibo was the heart of WOF .
One question, Marcus, Why is "General Well", also on YT under the name, "Nanchueng Banquet" and which one do we actually watch? Well that's all, and happy Drama watching to all the Dramalanders. Thanks to you Marcus, as always.
People who haven’t watched War of faith should refrain from giving their opinion about who should have been nominated for Magnolia awards. If you haven’t watched it how can you be qualified to speak about it? It looks bad on you to speak about things you have no knowledge of. So for everyone that voiced their opinion, my only question is have you watched the drama, the whole 38 episodes? If yes, then I will listen to your opinion.
I’m looking forward to Xiao Zhan latest drama. His last works wasn’t my favorite. I haven’t liked a drama of his since Oath of love. So looking forward to this one. The FL has me worried because she’s so young but I will give her a chance.
Ummm Why is JOL Season 1 among the top ten ? Are we time traveling with Ye Qingmei and Fan Xian for real? .....I first assumed it was a mistake for Joy of Life Season TWO that just ended on speed to hear Fan Xian utter those unforgettable words "I'm back", with an ominous smirk. But no : S1 was in the streaming category, while of course S2 was #1 in the TV category . 632 points. Yesss. Next, in a couple of years or less, S3 and S4...
So according to Magnolias awards submission tream...point black translation is without spinning around the bush in imo...."We dont care if you are the lead actor which all talked about how well you did and the one that brought traffic to the show and made it relavant among the audience...at the end if you are younger and up against a veteran in the industry....even if hes not the lead and the villain....because of his already established career...he will take the spot to be nominated as the lead actor"...😅....Thats basically what I got..🤣🤣🤣.... Im sorry but I only watched one episode but didnt finish as the spy genre isnt my thing but I heard how well Wang Yibo performed and the general public loved him plus so many news outlet praised him on how well he interpreted his character and you are telling me that's not enough to give him a nomination?....Its so clear they used him as as catalyst for the drama to be popular....if only they could be honest...lol Im dying to see Xiao Zhan new drama....though the plot is somewhat cliche...Im interested to see how he does in this....hes giving me bad ass XZ vybz....if done right..its gonna be a hit...
Wang Yibo was VERY GOOD in that drama. I already raved about it when it aired, and though he was not alone to play excellently, he was nonetheless undoubtedly the desirable ML in that one.
❤ this award body is only for senior citizens. Young actors like YB shouldnt be recognized. Stupid old judges dont realize fans are not stupid. We only watched bec of YB. If not for him, this drama would not even be hyped. They cannot accept that YB acted superbly and was the icing on the cake.
The Double is fun. Wang Xing Yue is one of the newer hotties on the drama scene & he looks hot in red. So Wang Yibo's fan club is wise not to to tread in the murky waters of controversy cos if he is downed, younger stars are rising up day by day! 😂
I enjoyed Joy of Life 2 in all its aspects. I ended up watching it on MZTV for the English translation, as Tencent botched my experience and disrespected us with AI translations. The AI translations are truly horrible. They make no sense and make it impossible to follow the plot. As a Tencent VIP customer, 😢I feel cheated. How do you guys feel about this? I would have to cancel my subscription it they continue using AI.
People who actually watched War of Faith know why fans are upset about this situation, because in truth Wang Yibo’s character is the main lead, and he was just as good if not better than Wang Yang in this drama. He brought both great acting and immense traffic to the drama therefore made it successful. He was robbed of this nomination because of Chinese stupid seniority rules, which rewards age over actual performance, and a stupid production team who somehow doesn’t seem to know who the main lead of their drama is. 🤷🏻♀️ Just to clarify: Wang Yang is nominated in the main lead category and he isn’t the main lead, that’s why people are upset. Even a smart kindergarten kid could tell who the main lead is. Also nobody would complain if Wang Yang were nominated as a supporting actor…
I’m not sure if Wang Yibo was the only main lead in that drama. Because screen time was distributed mostly evenly among them. It would be fair to say that there were 3 main characters, including the girl. “Leading male” is technically listed as Wang Yibo on websites but it doesn’t mean he is the only male lead in the drama.
Wang Yibo screen time is 713 minutes not including the screen time of wang yibo that wasn't detected during torture scene in episodes 13 and 14 During promotion, the whole team promoted it as one Big male lead drama and let wang yibo fans carry all the promotion hard work for doing data Unlike other dramas , Wof is not part of iQIYI top 10, iQiyi did not even post anything about it until the last 3 days before airing Wang yang has only 500 minutes and liqin who is 2nd lead has lesser And 713 + is greater than 500 , its not even The story started with wei roulai, peaked for Wei roulai and ended with Wei roulai Everyone was just a cannon fodder, and stepping stone to promote wei roulai growth from being an innocent poor boy to a man with unwavering faith for the sake of his people and country The Story revolves only around wei roulai ,It's a male centric drama with only 1 lead !
And that wang yang 500 minutes is mostly scenes with Wei roulai Him shouting! Him shouting and frowning ! Him shouting again ! He didn't even throw a crocodile tears for secretary huang who died for him , wang yang acts like guy just died like a trash not worthy of emotion
@@worldofedits3641 the director himself stated in an interview that Wei Ruolai was the MAIN character and how the drama centered around HIS story. He literally emphasized how the drama starts with Yibo's character and how it ends with him. Wang Yang may have been casted as 3rd lead but his role still revolved around yibo's. That sounds like a supporting character to me. And it be one thing if Yibo's acting lagged behind Wang Yangs. But it clearly didn't considering all the positive attention it brought.
@@worldofedits3641 Just out curiosity have you watched the drama? I think even a kindergarten child can identify who the main character is. Also, if Wang Yibo isn’t the main lead why is he 1st billing? And as others have already mentioned, the screen time is not evenly distributed, Wang Yibo has significantly more screen time. The fact that you missed all this makes me think that maybe you didn’t watch the drama, so you are voicing your opinion without having the knowledge.
The Double is fun. Wang Xing Yue is one of the newer hotties on the drama scene & he looks fiery in red. So Wang Yibo's fan club is wise not to tread in the murky waters of controversy cos if he is downed, younger stars are rising up day by day! 😂 China seems to have an endless supply of new stars😂
I wish Ancle William Chan WITHDRAW this modern drama would be fantastic, will make Princess Lusi FANS SO HAPPY. This is only beginning but making a lot of fans disappointed unsatisfactory why not stop shut down the drama or change the ML. Otherwise more disasters to comes
Mang tiếng đỉnh lưu mà không có nổi bộ phim nào hot nên nhìn lại bà nhiệt ba dóng y như bà dương mịch đóng phim lop nhiều không hiểu nổi bên trung quốc những người này càn đóng phim thì phim ảnh sẽ đi về đâu
Princess Lusi 《许我耀眼》 modern drama go head collaborates with Ancle William Chan, I am sure this will effects #越露思珠幕玉幕# drama, Princess Lusi Fans definitely will lose their interest to watch (珠幕玉幕)drama. This is a risk of gambling
Why should they? It's as popular as KFC in the PRC for the past 30+ years. I remember at the time of the bombing of the Chinese embassy in ex Yugoslavia, the Macdonald's we'd been to had big posters in the window that day, claiming they were managed by Chinese staff : the mammoth demonstration passed by on the avenue in Nanjing and the restaurant was not touched despite staying open with no security guards. Different from the US embassy in Beijing which weathered some stones and bricks throws, before the Chinese police cordoned it off a little better.
The general public, critics, media, etc. all talked about WoF. The main talk was Wei Ruolai, Wang Yibo's character and how great his acting was. And rn it's not just wyb fans that were commenting on this issue but fans of the drama and critics of the show.

On the topic of the magnolia awards, all I can say is that the veteran actor deserved the nomination. As do all the veteran actors in that category.

Didn't C-entertainment say they lack and need new blood in the industry...
Magnolia...what a funny way to motivate young actors!
Anyway if Magnolia is about awarding senior actors...no senior actor needs to compete for main roles anymore, they just need to be 2nd/3rd/4th and still be chosen for the nominations...
Speaking of fairness,what a joke.
A serious awards indeed!
Hi Marcus. Still watching JOL 2. Thanks for your updates and have a nice Monday!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks! You too!
Super Thanks Marcus for the reliable updates.
Then, they should submit just one person, which should be the lead. It's terrible that 2nd lead gets chosen over the main lead.
Hi Marcus! Thanks for the updates). My plan for this week is to check a number of new dramas since I've finished Kdrama The Lovely Runner. First on my list are The Double and My wife's double life. ❤

Thanks for your input, PBG 👍
Double very nice drama ❤❤❤
My 2 favorite of the week JOL 2 and The Double 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤❤❤❤.
Hi Marcus, great updates, and nice haircut.
Thanks for the video. Looking forward to the next one on Tuesday.

The Double is really good! 7 episodes in and I am hooked. ❤
I have just finished watching JOL 2,I really enjoyed it,and cant wait for season 3
Thanks again for the update ❤
Helli Marcus! Thank you for the updates... I am so excited for Xiao Chan new drama... big fan. ❤

Thank you Marc for the update❤❤❤
Hello, Marcus! Thank you for your updates. Hope you had a fantastic weekend.
I've seen ep 1 of both My Wife's Double Life and The Double. They're both good so far.
Nice of Xiao Zhan to treat the cast to McDonald's.
My feeling is that it seems like the Magnolia people are a bit biased to the older/more experienced actor in their decision. That's why You Ben Chang bowed out so the younger actors can have the chance to win.
Until Tuesday, have a great week ahead! Cheers! 😊
Thanks, you too!

And there has been talk for some time (not just this time or just this award) that "traffic" artists are frowned upon with these awards. And there is a judge on the jury who has made his feelings known publicly on "traffic" artists. There's been many times when the older person with certain credentials is nominated where general public disagrees. So I don't hold much weight to it especially when they only see a snippet of the drama.
You clearly think WY did better but WY's acting was not the one being acknowledged by GP, critics, and media, during and after the drama ran.
@@ang3432 OK, your point is taken :). You have a good day and we'll enjoy the new dramas out now. Cheers!

Wang Yibo was the lead actor. What a shame with that Magnolia Award.
I will start to watch the double. I hope this drama is good.
Tiểu yêu yang zi and xu kai đẹp hóng looks like school girl chờ xem hay hay love okay👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻💯🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟💜❤️👑👑💋💋⚘️⚘️⚘️⚘️⚘️ok
I think the submission for the awards is flawed. The director clearly stated in an interview that the Main character was Wei Ruolai and the drama revolved around his story. The drama began with WRL's dialogue and ended with WRL's dialogue. Bc WY was billed 3rd lead doesn't mean his character wasn't a supporting character to the MAIN one. Also throughout the airing of the drama the most talked about character was Wei Ruolai by general public, critics, and media. And even after it aired they still kept praising him. Shen Tunan, WY's character, didn't generate the same attention. In no way shape or form did wyb lag behind wy.
This isn't just Yibo fans being upset but many non fans that watched the show and loved Wei Ruolai.
That being said ppl need to behave reasonably and not cause unnecessary drama.
The drama was billed with both of them as leads (along with LQ), from the very first announcement. This was a co-lead drama. WYB himself didn't take top billing, he signed up for the drama on the basis that he'd be sharing billing with the other two. If he was happy to accept that arrangement, you should be too.
@@ManyGhosts Sorry, you're wrong. There was a billing order and Wang Yang was 3rd. Placement is a big deal in Chinese dramas and films. It's not my thing but you're not going to whitewash it. It was very clear in all advertising, marketing, and promotional materials that Yibo was TOP billing. And I'll repeat what I already put in my post. The director stated the storyline centered around Wei Ruolai's character. Which means the other characters revolved around him.
@@ManyGhosts how come every advertisement, publication, postings had yibo's name first from day 1? How come every poster had Yibo front and center with the other two behind? In interviews and promotional events, it was evident who they were highlighting. I mean c'mon look where the kept positioning him.
So if I'm to believe what you're saying that they were all equal leads, then please answer my my questions.
Zhao Lusi 's new drama confirmation 🎉- Booting to be held on June 10.
Tencent's urban drama "Promise to Be Dazzling"
is adapted from Zhang Yueran's novel "Da Qiao Xiao Qiao".
Starring: Zhao Lusi
Shooting period of 110 days.
Who's the male lead?
Looks like some decent watching ín the new dramas, though nothing spectacular. Not surprised by the top tens, though I'm amused that JOL1 is 4th on the web drama list... LoL looking forward to watching a lot more after this week!
Please Marcus, how did you know both Wang Yang and Wang Yibo were both submitted?
Did the crew communicate with you?
If they did, tell them to clarify that to drama and actors' fans instead of being mute.
This isn't the first something of this nature has happened and the crew clarified themselves.
Douyin page that is
It says how right in the video!
@@ManyGhosts From what source?
@@ohitsmsollie.ollielee893 I doubt but if that's the truth, what's preventing the crew from saying so?
Nobody is going blame or question them if they will give that answer.
Nice haircut Marcus!
Thank you 😊
First wof is not a double male lead ,it was crystal clear.Yibo is the only male protagonist and these words come from the director mouth himself (he is acting dead right now ) shame on wof team for using wangyibo
If its based on acting ,then its undeniable that it should be THE WANG YIBO and not the lousy wangyang,that should bagged the nomination but seeing the post of one the jury yesterday ,im not surprised why they let a mediocre acting pass ,lmao .
now i clearly understand that magnolia standard for acting is the actor who shout here and there and do nothing but shout ,okay noted
And take note , one jury said ,they hate traffic stars ,so however excellent your acting is like wei roulai ,they will only pick middle aged uncle mediocre acting : one should be old , with money and backers ,and no acting except shouting to get into magnolia jury's eyes
PS : FOR THOSE WHO DIDNT WATCH WAR OF FAITH ,don't come at us yapping how good middle aged uncle is and he blah blah because you sound like a clown !!!!
I hope Magnolia Shangai can have English subtitles so I could watch it
Hi Marcus, I watched the first two episodes of the double, and they are marvelous. I love Wu Jinyan. The scenes reminded me of the princess Weiyoung, but I am excited to see how the rest continues. You, Benchang, are such a lovely senior. I still have not been able to watch Blossom Shanghai. Is it available anywhere with English subs? Still watching JOL S2. Following both the double and JOL S2
Thanks, Marcus, and I hope you had a good weekend.
Still no word on BS with eng subs, unfortunately 😕
Helo! Where to watch Special Action? Thank You!
THERE IS male lead and supporting role magnolia is a joke
Base on your report , Magnolia awards discriminate young Leading actors . Disappointing . They don’t explain how Wang Yibo was dropped off . Yibo performance in WOF was outstanding. Yibo was the heart of WOF .
One question, Marcus, Why is "General Well", also on YT under the name, "Nanchueng Banquet" and which one do we actually watch? Well that's all, and happy Drama watching to all the Dramalanders. Thanks to you Marcus, as always.
General well is the English title
The other is the translation from the Chinese title HANYIN PINYIN
@@peggytanaka8168 Thx Peggy. Which one do I watch on YT, because they're both on there?
@@cristyrawks6325whichever since you need the English subtitles
Does Anyone know when JOL 3 will be out ?
Hey Marcus, when will joy of life 3 be out ?
People who haven’t watched War of faith should refrain from giving their opinion about who should have been nominated for Magnolia awards. If you haven’t watched it how can you be qualified to speak about it? It looks bad on you to speak about things you have no knowledge of. So for everyone that voiced their opinion, my only question is have you watched the drama, the whole 38 episodes? If yes, then I will listen to your opinion.
I’m looking forward to Xiao Zhan latest drama. His last works wasn’t my favorite. I haven’t liked a drama of his since Oath of love. So looking forward to this one. The FL has me worried because she’s so young but I will give her a chance.
Ummm Why is JOL Season 1 among the top ten ?
Are we time traveling with Ye Qingmei and Fan Xian for real?
.....I first assumed it was a mistake for Joy of Life Season TWO that just ended on speed to hear Fan Xian utter those unforgettable words "I'm back", with an ominous smirk. But no : S1 was in the streaming category, while of course S2 was #1 in the TV category .
632 points. Yesss.
Next, in a couple of years or less, S3 and S4...
My guess is lots of ppl are watching JOL S1 to prepare for S2, or to refresh their memories
@@Marcushere Absolutely. I did too !!!
I did too 😂
I don't know if the synopsis for The Double is accurate, but if it is, it just gave away a HUGE spoiler.
So according to Magnolias awards submission tream...point black translation is without spinning around the bush in imo...."We dont care if you are the lead actor which all talked about how well you did and the one that brought traffic to the show and made it relavant among the audience...at the end if you are younger and up against a veteran in the industry....even if hes not the lead and the villain....because of his already established career...he will take the spot to be nominated as the lead actor"...😅....Thats basically what I got..🤣🤣🤣....
Im sorry but I only watched one episode but didnt finish as the spy genre isnt my thing but I heard how well Wang Yibo performed and the general public loved him plus so many news outlet praised him on how well he interpreted his character and you are telling me that's not enough to give him a nomination?....Its so clear they used him as as catalyst for the drama to be popular....if only they could be honest...lol
Im dying to see Xiao Zhan new drama....though the plot is somewhat cliche...Im interested to see how he does in this....hes giving me bad ass XZ vybz....if done right..its gonna be a hit...
The feeling l get from Zang Hai Zhuan is it's a hit in the making 👍
@@Marcushere Sure. Xiao Zhan and Zhang Jingyi ?!
I'm waiting for it already, lol
Wang Yibo was VERY GOOD in that drama.
I already raved about it when it aired, and though he was not alone to play excellently, he was nonetheless undoubtedly the desirable ML in that one.
❤ this award body is only for senior citizens. Young actors like YB shouldnt be recognized. Stupid old judges dont realize fans are not stupid. We only watched bec of YB. If not for him, this drama would not even be hyped. They cannot accept that YB acted superbly and was the icing on the cake.
and there was DUOLINGO too 😂😂
The Double is fun. Wang Xing Yue is one of the newer hotties on the drama scene & he looks hot in red. So Wang Yibo's fan club is wise not to to tread in the murky waters of controversy cos if he is downed, younger stars are rising up day by day! 😂
I enjoyed Joy of Life 2 in all its aspects. I ended up watching it on MZTV for the English translation, as Tencent botched my experience and disrespected us with AI translations. The AI translations are truly horrible. They make no sense and make it impossible to follow the plot.
As a Tencent VIP customer, 😢I feel cheated. How do you guys feel about this?
I would have to cancel my subscription it they continue using AI.
People who actually watched War of Faith know why fans are upset about this situation, because in truth Wang Yibo’s character is the main lead, and he was just as good if not better than Wang Yang in this drama. He brought both great acting and immense traffic to the drama therefore made it successful. He was robbed of this nomination because of Chinese stupid seniority rules, which rewards age over actual performance, and a stupid production team who somehow doesn’t seem to know who the main lead of their drama is. 🤷🏻♀️
Just to clarify: Wang Yang is nominated in the main lead category and he isn’t the main lead, that’s why people are upset. Even a smart kindergarten kid could tell who the main lead is. Also nobody would complain if Wang Yang were nominated as a supporting actor…
I’m not sure if Wang Yibo was the only main lead in that drama. Because screen time was distributed mostly evenly among them. It would be fair to say that there were 3 main characters, including the girl.
“Leading male” is technically listed as Wang Yibo on websites but it doesn’t mean he is the only male lead in the drama.
Wang Yibo screen time is 713 minutes not including the screen time of wang yibo that wasn't detected during torture scene in episodes 13 and 14
During promotion, the whole team promoted it as one Big male lead drama and let wang yibo fans carry all the promotion hard work for doing data
Unlike other dramas , Wof is not part of iQIYI top 10, iQiyi did not even post anything about it until the last 3 days before airing
Wang yang has only 500 minutes and liqin who is 2nd lead has lesser
And 713 + is greater than 500 , its not even
The story started with wei roulai, peaked for Wei roulai and ended with Wei roulai
Everyone was just a cannon fodder, and stepping stone to promote wei roulai growth from being an innocent poor boy to a man with unwavering faith for the sake of his people and country
The Story revolves only around wei roulai ,It's a male centric drama with only 1 lead !
And that wang yang 500 minutes is mostly scenes with Wei roulai
Him shouting!
Him shouting and frowning !
Him shouting again !
He didn't even throw a crocodile tears for secretary huang who died for him , wang yang acts like guy just died like a trash not worthy of emotion
@@worldofedits3641 the director himself stated in an interview that Wei Ruolai was the MAIN character and how the drama centered around HIS story. He literally emphasized how the drama starts with Yibo's character and how it ends with him.
Wang Yang may have been casted as 3rd lead but his role still revolved around yibo's. That sounds like a supporting character to me.
And it be one thing if Yibo's acting lagged behind Wang Yangs. But it clearly didn't considering all the positive attention it brought.
@@worldofedits3641 Just out curiosity have you watched the drama? I think even a kindergarten child can identify who the main character is. Also, if Wang Yibo isn’t the main lead why is he 1st billing?
And as others have already mentioned, the screen time is not evenly distributed, Wang Yibo has significantly more screen time.
The fact that you missed all this makes me think that maybe you didn’t watch the drama, so you are voicing your opinion without having the knowledge.
The Double is fun. Wang Xing Yue is one of the newer hotties on the drama scene & he looks fiery in red. So Wang Yibo's fan club is wise not to tread in the murky waters of controversy cos if he is downed, younger stars are rising up day by day! 😂 China seems to have an endless supply of new stars😂
I wish Ancle William Chan WITHDRAW this modern drama would be fantastic, will make Princess Lusi FANS SO HAPPY. This is only beginning but making a lot of fans disappointed unsatisfactory why not stop shut down the drama or change the ML. Otherwise more disasters to comes
Mang tiếng đỉnh lưu mà không có nổi bộ phim nào hot nên nhìn lại bà nhiệt ba dóng y như bà dương mịch đóng phim lop nhiều không hiểu nổi bên trung quốc những người này càn đóng phim thì phim ảnh sẽ đi về đâu
Princess Lusi 《许我耀眼》 modern drama go head collaborates with Ancle William Chan, I am sure this will effects #越露思珠幕玉幕# drama, Princess Lusi Fans definitely will lose their interest to watch (珠幕玉幕)drama. This is a risk of gambling
Macdonald's? They are not boycotting in china!!
it is their own outlet
Why should they? It's as popular as KFC in the PRC for the past 30+ years. I remember at the time of the bombing of the Chinese embassy in ex Yugoslavia, the Macdonald's we'd been to had big posters in the window that day, claiming they were managed by Chinese staff : the mammoth demonstration passed by on the avenue in Nanjing and the restaurant was not touched despite staying open with no security guards. Different from the US embassy in Beijing which weathered some stones and bricks throws, before the Chinese police cordoned it off a little better.
@@florfred1786 why should they?
Go to the BDS list they are very detailed
Fan of yizhan here
Xiao Zhan don’t pair with the wrong female role make us lost appetite continue watching 😂😂😂
I feel like Wang Yibo fans are doing base on popularity not skill
The general public, critics, media, etc. all talked about WoF. The main talk was Wei Ruolai, Wang Yibo's character and how great his acting was. And rn it's not just wyb fans that were commenting on this issue but fans of the drama and critics of the show.
One thing go watch WOF give your opinion
@@seline4790 Right?! The poster's comment is so demeaning bc they're basing it as a fan issue and they haven't even watched it 🤦🏻♀️
