Come and vote for the best characters with the same surname!*
What does best mean? It's up to you! Whether you love them, are intrigued by their characters, love to hate them, or they're your '2 second blorbos whose personality you made up wholesale', these are all reasons for you to vote for your favs!
*note, the surnames are not exactly the same in all the cases, as often there will be a different character. I am, however, grouping them all together otherwise things got more complicated.
Propaganda is very welcome! If I’ve forgotten anyone, let me know in the notes.
This is part of a larger series of ‘best character with X surname’ polls’. The overview with ongoing polls, winners, and future polls can be found here
the funny thing is that i LOVE nirvana in fire 2 and i cried so much watching it BUT i never finished it. the reason is i literally do *not* care about pingjing outside of the 'pingzhang's little brother' context. i can't believe they had so many wonderful wonderful characters and decided to focus on him like even with pingzhang gone i'd love to see more of tingsheng feizhan meng xue or the emperor instead but nope they were all gone almost immediately after pingzhang died rip
I want to read a fic about Shi Guang transmigrating NiF2 as the emperor's son maybe with Chu Ying serving as his Imperial Go Instructor. The possibilities are limitless.
may get jumped for this but i kinda love NiF2 a lot and i genuinely think it's a fantastic sequel, which a lot of people seem to disagree with (which is totally chill we can have differing opinions y'all), but i really like it?? the production value, it's boldness in greatly trying to differentiate itself from it's predecessor and a big, healthy dose of familial love is never a bad thing (and perhaps why i love it so much so far). saw someone say that the first forty episodes are a slog to get through (which greatly confused me bc the show has fifty episodes and you were still disliking it by ep 40? the way i would've just quit, chile) and although i'm only thirteen episodes in i think it's great! i do have one or two problems though; pingjang is an observant and quick-witted protagonist but sometimes it feels as if he's only being intelligent for the sake of the plot. i know he isn't stupid, but he has been shown so far to he a very emotionally driven character unlike mei changsu (of whom was very logic driven imo), so him suddenly being very astute and clever at times takes me off a little bit considering how rash he has been so far. plus, the ending of NiF1 wasn't good in my opinion; for such a well thought out, deeply intricate show, the ending felt very lazy, weak and rushed, and left me with a roster of unanswered questions that i thought NiF2 would. . .it didn't. this was, of course, grossly disappointing. additionally, even though we spent the entirety of season one trying to crown jingyan, we haven't even seen him rule or heard of what his rule was like? honestly, i feel like this show before anything else, should have tied up the loose ends that season one failed to. however, i'm still excited to see how this show goes! I have a lot of predictions (some that i hope come to fruition and some that i really hope that don't) and i'm intrigued to see what happens next!
i am big fan of first season nirvana in fire and i finally started the second season but second half of it really hard for me. im just forcing myself to watch at least one ep per day 😞

Hello everyone and welcome to the Lying Liar Who Lies Poll! This character would probably claim they were fine while literally on their death bed. Or they might have fun lying to people for fun and profit. Perhaps they just can't help it anymore - if they don't lie at least once a day they go into withdrawal.
Looking at the list of candidates, it might even be all three...
Vote to find out who's the most egregious liar in cdrama (affectionate)! Propaganda, call out posts, and write-in candidates welcome!
