News This double is hard to tell apart
I generally liked the drama. The only issue I had was Tian Xiwei's acting. I find it hard to tell apart Wei Rao and Achou. I had to use their voices to tell them apart (they either used different voice actresses, or she is just excellent at making them sound very different). The two characters she is trying to portray have the same smirk, same smile, display anger the same way, and same personality (intelligent, cunning and very flirty at times)
Another issue I have is that Achou supposedly grew up as a slave, but with just 5 days of training she is able to pass as Wei Rao, acts like a duchess, and no one is the wiser. The story starts that way. You put a slave in fine clothes and she instantly becomes a duchess in the way she walks, talks, writes.... Yes, it's just a story, just for entertainment. I just find myself break out of character every time I watch her acting like a perfect lady in a grand family. Maybe it's the director's problem, but Tian Xiwei certainly got the blame from me.
