it is said, "there are no small roles, only small actors". no matter how insipid a character is, a good actor will make him memorable. Right now, his character is overpowered by second, even third, leads, in terms of import. he is coming off as bland

they're much more interesting than the leads. ml is rather bland

i'm hoping the actor will prove himself to be more than a pretty face

I find cdrama actors and actresses the best looking performers - Xiao Zhan, Wang Yibo, Yang Yang, Wang Hedi, Xu Kai, Dilraba, Zhao Lusi, Yang Mi, Yang Zi, Bai Lu, etc. can't be beat.

I also like that they're cool, not too fond of overreacting and screaming.

That's why I now watch cdramas exclusively

Reading the comments while trying to decide whether to watch this or not, I came across comments about imdb. The imdb score of TTEOTM, currently 84, is actually high for a cdrama that has gone international. International passersby tend to score low. For them, 7 is a good score. So, the more international passersby a drama has, the lower its score will go. Only shows with massive fandom like GOT that can counteract scoring of international passersby get absurdly high scores. But 8.4 is really a great score. Look at other cdramas that have gone international for a while. Princess Agents and Princess Weiyoung, both great dramas, have 75 and 78. For international viewers, these are good scores. So, no need to get all worked up about antis.
