To start I want to say I'm not hating on Xu Ruo Han. I've never seen her in any drama for more than a few minutes, but I've read others saying she's their favorite or she's really good in "drama name here." I don't know her range or what she's capable of.

The FL in this drama is a really complex character to play. I've had trouble trying to figure her out the entire time I've been watching. A lot of that is due to the writing and the fact that we don't get to see her inner thoughts and character growth like we do with ML.

The writers have turned Ping Jun into a disaster magnet. It can't be easy to portray a character who is beaten up by circumstances every ten minutes. And she is paired opposite a strong, cunning, selfish, powerful man who is so far above her in status that it's amazing she had the guts to talk back to him in the first place. And then she gets turned into a dishrag by the constant wearing away of any protective shield she might have had. That would be a challenge for any actress to portray, particularly when a majority of the audience wants her to acquiesce to CX at any cost to her desires.

So can you think of an actress you think was made for this role, or at the least could accept the challenge of it and come out with the audience on her side? No right or wrong answers and if you think I'm totally off base, that's fine, too.
