I am too wuss for Liao Zhai (isn't it horror) but do mean to check out both Yi Zhi Mei (once subs are out) and the Weavers one.
Not very flattering in figure or even in looks, but that becomes negligible for me as his acting and screen presence dominates.
My problem with Nicky is that I agree with the former part of your sentence but not the latter (at least in trailers, he may be different in the drama). I don't need an actor to be young and/or handsome to love him in the role - my favorite, by far, character in 3 Kingdoms 2010 is Cao Cao and the actor playing him is neither - but I don't see Nicky have that kind of on-screen charisma and chops. But maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised.
And the novel ending really really bugs me, the same way the ending of de Stael's Corinne bugs me. I loathed that type of ending since then. Repeat after me, gals "he's not worth it!".
