Bai lu is queen. I dont know anyone have her stage presence in korea and china land. There are few but they are more for acting. Bai Lu has acting and aura.
Carrying the drama is hard work. You need director and script writer in your side. Zhang Tian Ai is also great actress. But she over act and outshine her male actor and every male actor afraid to act with her. She should act in kdrama. She is made for kdrama though
Modern drama still suck because actresses never experienced any so they struggle to emote and also writing is bad for chinese modern drama
But wuxia and costume dramas are where money is.
Kdrama strength is family and romance. But they have forgotten it and doing trash dramas for last 10 years when netflix entered.
Because netflix brought money , everyone obeyed.
There is no free money. They use kdrama for propaganda purposes like they use hollywood.
Also i like the flow. if i can guess what happen in next scene , i drop the drama.

i switched to chinese drama. Not Chinese modern Drama , they suck.
Watching wuxia / animation / fantasy ( not those fox stuff). They improved lot.
Not all dramas are good but 10% is pretty good.
Chinese animation drama is better than actual drama now. They spend lots of money and time. Graphics quality to notch
