It's a new change in the industry. If they do not dub themselves they are the ones who have to pay the voice actor…
Yeah I also think it adds more to the character :) It is also great because I will be less surprised if I see them in an interview and they sound so different xD
No toxicity but they do have a push and pull relationship for the biggest part :) Ling Buyi is a very scheming…
For me it's a fantastic drama. It is very very slowburn though so it might not be everyones cup of tea. It also focuses more on the whole cast rather then just the leads. So if you enjoy well developed side characters you will find it interesting. In yhe first part the ml has less screen time but he will still be more present as a whole compared to the other two men in Shao Shangs life. They get engaged in episode 24.
