People be missing the point here so badly it’s sad and funny simultaneously.Maybe we can still carry on with…
Yes, please, to more dramas with actors who have interesting faces and great acting skills. Some of the top stars have such generic faces I can't even look at them. I want people who look different and have great personalities that infuse their dramas.
There are several things happening here. When POJ first aired, it showed so much promise and genuinely beautiful…
It was so evident that all the rabid fans wanted was ZLH's pretty face. Rarely did I see his acting abilities mentioned. It was all about how much people wanted to gaze at him, how beautiful he is with or without makeup and how dreamy the romance was. I'm not averse to a pretty face and most of the actors I like have it, but they also have great acting skills and often choose projects that showcase their range instead of being typecast as the beautiful ML. I just hope that gifted actors don't get penalized because they are good looking.
And a female-centric drama doesn't have to sideline the ML. I dislike when either lead has to sacrifice their abilities and intelligence to bolster the other. Too often it's been the FL that has to appear weak and useless to prop up the ML. I want both leads to be strong and support each other or at least, if they have to start off weak. to develop and grow stronger as the story progresses.
One thing I hope they get rid of is the awful white makeup that makes actors look like ghosts. And maybe this will give some lesser-known actors a chance at roles that "pretty" stars with little acting ability now get.
no hate..but i guess that he kinda has to accept the criticism about 'appearance' when he blatantly commented…
Good point! And actors do have to accept criticism if they want to grow as actors. I read that Liu Yu Ning was criticized in his early movies (can't remember what for) and he took it to heart and worked on it and people noticed the change. I think that shows an actor that truly cares about listening and improving. Of course not all criticism is fair and it's up to the actor to determine what he can improve on.
Those aren't "his" answers. They were written for him to speak, just like lines in a drama.Will Asian…
I watched an interview with him online and he was quite articulate, self effacing and funny. I do think he's said problematic things and I'm not a big fan, but I liked him in that interview.
This is more applied in Korean context in China It only applies in certain cases, but he’s had many controversial…
I don't know if I'd say they are more tolerant. I think rabid fans will excuse their idol for things that they wouldn't excuse an actor that they don't care about. Kris Wu still has fans.
It's a good thing he's self aware enough to know that being praised for his looks is not really a good thing for him. Looks fade; good acting doesn't. Great if you can have both, but relying on one's looks is not the way to go. That's why it was a bit disturbing seeing so many comments about POJ being all about ZLH's looks and not how well he portrayed his character. I can imagine it's hard for an actor when everything depends upon his looks more than his acting abilities.
None of the characters mentioned in the synopsis are in the cast list?
I looked up the drama on Wiki-D Addicts and found that the cast list shows the synopsis names, not the names of S1 characters. https://wiki.d-addicts.com/Stand_or_Fall_2
I watched Jackie Chan's unexpected family and I didn't know Peng Yuchang was there with a major role, it made…
I've been watching Peng Yuchang's dramas/movies because I agree, he is an amazing actor and I love that he chooses really different projects instead of sticking with one kind of role.
I don't know who styled Fan Zhi Xin, but they should never get another job. What's funny is that the drama poster looks like him, not like the character. I almost didn't recognize him.
I only watched the very beginning/ending. What I saw was awful. This actor is so amazing. Why is he not getting quality scripts? He has such range he should be top tier. What a waste of a brilliant actor.
Fan Zhi Xin can and has done better works than this, that's why I like his dramas and his charisma. But as a hardcore…
I almost didn't recognize him. I don't know what they did to him, but I don't like the look at all. As you said he's far too good for a drama like this. And he definitely needs a better stylist.
Zhou Yang Ling character starts off dressed as a man and gets involved with Prince Chang Yi / A Man. He thinks she's a man for a good portion of the drama.

I actually thought it was the other Lee Min Ho, too, but was interested in the fact that there is a different one.
