The9 ?? I have a feeling 1The9 fans are about to be upset about that name.
Hhahah im surprised copyright claims havent been issued yet
i wonder when it is available for non-vip IQIYI users T.T
The center is a tom??? Or it’s just her style??? I saw only the first episode of this show. And only focus on xukun lol.
First and second episode are not impressive but the show boomed after the first group evaluation/stage aired.
