Older actresses like Liu Yifei, Zhao Liying , Yang Mi? basically I avoided some of their dramas for the harem parts and annoying second leads. I heard that Chinese Paladin has a second fl so annoying that the main lead sometimes broke up with the fl for her, this gives me an ick.
Na I mean that drama is really good of course because the director has directed my fave drama Blossom too and every actor there are top notch. But this is a completely different genre so I don't get the comparisons plus the novel of this is so good too.
