no i'm just simply explaining good things about costume dramas. sorry if i made you feel bad 😅

True. The only great script he got was WIK imo (i was a fan of the novel before i even knew Y :D). Others have not so good scripts (and FLs). HS is decent but it's not high-budget and just a remake.

Costume dramas are more well-received in China though. Most of the most popular c-dramas are all ancient/costume. HL and TWOT are rare good modern scripts (and that's why our boy picked them) but because the character designs are very good. Most of other male leads in modern dramas don't have good designs or very one-dimensional. Costume drama's characters are more well-designed because they're mostly from famous novels, have more character development and everything else, especially the male centric dramas.

sadly, that's how cbiz works. his future resources will depend on the success of his 1st billing drama and all the benefits after its success will be given to the 1st billing lead. it's not like k-drama where both FL and ML are equal. That's why we have many controversies surrounding the billing issue and also why his company wanted the equal billing (both leads are 1st in billing) for him in SF4.

tbh a lot of his hit dramas, he was second billing (even HL and HS) so antis use it to mock him (that the drama's success doesn't count for him). so i hope he finally has a hit 1st billing drama to shut those people up :(

it's been 4 years :(

costume drama have diverse set characters too. There are also doctors, bad boys, martial artists, spies, slaves, nobles, royalty, fairies, doctors, merchants, generals, etc... too many to choose. But yes, as long as it has good script and investment, i'm fine with any.

exactly. that's why i hope the rumor about that male centric drama is true... we'll see

Yes but it was too long ago. He has matured so much from acting to appearance after TWOT so i'm curious about his next costume project 😁

I mean the costume dramas with fantasy or feudal China theme. He looks so great in those traditional clothes 😭. He already got a hit modern drama with HL and some others like Our Secrets or My Villain Boyfriend. He still has not have a hit costume drama (because he hasn't acted in a good script so far except winner is king). I also count DNAD and TWOT as modern and they will be air soon 😅 After that, it would be refreshing to see him in a costume drama with martial arts or a crown prince or something 😁

and a good partner 😅
I'm forever salty that his 2 big costume dramas still couldn't air, especially Winner is king (it has great plot and characters). He would have blown up way sooner had it been allowed to air 😔

I'm fine with anything as long as it's a good script and character. Costume dramas tend to have better scripts than modern so...

maybe a costume drama with a lot of fightings? hmmm

This is the first time I follow an actor and I've watched many c-dramas before. I first know him from HL but i didn't stan him then, because I know I just love the Duan Jiaxu character that he played who was so perfect.But a few weeks ago. i happened to watch TWOT finished video and i couldn't believe that was the guy who played Duan Jiaxu. So I got interested in him as an actor, started my research about him and be amazed at every role he has played, nothing is similar to each other. Then I read more of his interviews, learned about his attitude and sincerity for acting and fall more deeply in love with him. The rest is history...

They are Ju jing yi fans so you tell me lol The audacity is on another level

i read a post on weibo which many fans agree too that some people might be afraid of Y's potential to blow up so they're doing everything they can to drag him down before it happens. There's not many actors in cbiz who could do well in many genre as him. He can do modern romance, costume, historical, BL, villain role, now police and soldier. And he's crazy versatile, hard working, good looking with a great voice and proportions. on top of that, He has one of a kind pair of eyes, so i get why people are afraid of him.

The crazy thing is that fandom actually is spreading around that he sucks at acting and that's the reason it underperformed. like be fcking fr. that's why i'm so frustrated.

for such a high budget project, people say it 'flopped'. But it wasn't because the show was bad but the 'drama' of the 2 leads. Now he is hated by the FL's fandom and they're trying to taint his image everywhere...

i'm trying it just feels so wrong to be mocked as if he's the worst actor ever when we all know he's the best actor on the show.

I'm so sad that people are starting to blame him for SF4's underperformance now that actress' other drama is doing well... I hope good things come soon for him because this is so frustrating...
