Here is a more objective explanation of the variety show issue.
China is a very large country with 56 ethnic groups, and people from different regions often have noticeable differences in appearance. In daily life, it is quite common for people to casually comment that someone “looks like they are from a certain region.” In that context, such remarks are usually not intended to be offensive, but rather a habitual way of describing appearances.
During the show, Zhang Linghe made a similar comment in a natural way, and it was not considered inappropriate during editing.
However, after the broadcast, some viewers from Southeast Asia felt offended. In response, he chose to apologize out of respect for their feelings. even knowing it might expose him to more criticism online.
His Instagram account is managed by agency staff, and the way the apology was posted may have come across as less sincere, which led to further misunderstanding.
The purpose of sharing this is simply to provide more context. In situations like this, misunderstandings can easily arise, and public opinion can sometimes be influenced by incomplete information and cultural difference.
As far as I know🍉 Ci Tang (Ancient costume)🍉 Killing Another me(Modern thriller)❤️🤗❤️
From my reliable source, is team rejected Killing Another Me because they even can't provide a full script, there's only a brief introdution 😂. He can't accept it with risk,.
is he officially the most popular Chinese actor? i mean back to back so many blockbusters ❤️🔥❤️🔥
Yes. From my chinese friends' feedbacks. Among kids, young people and old people (a wide range of groups) all know him, and most of them like him. His posters , commercial endorsements advisements are everywhere in China.
I agree. I like Changyu being badass and all, but not at the expense of Xie Zheng who is supposed to be the greatest…
Yeah, same, I feel sth. is missing in portrating Xie Zheng. (the screenwriter's problem) Hope Zhang Linghe has more screentime to show his excellent actings in the rest episodes to save it...
What dynasty is this series and r these characters base off historical figure?
The costume is based on Song Dynasty. The political system borrows from Tang Dynasty. And the military strategies borrow from the Three Kingdoms Period. Marquies Wu'an is a real title in history.

And Changyu’s concerns are completely understandable — for someone from a commoner background, marrying into nobility comes with a lot of pressure.
In the novel, Xie Zheng even tells her she doesn’t have to socialize with noble ladies or change herself — she can simply live the way she wants.
Only after he patiently addressed her concerns did she truly feel ready to face this new reality.
