My handsome grandson, Leo Wu, has grown up. Only five years ago, he was the teenage martials arts expert Fei Liu in Nirvana in Fire, where he stole the show from the experienced actors in all age ranges. Now he has a commanding presence as the male lead in dramas. His role as Bai Li Hong Shuo in Guardians of the Ancient Oath shows an acting maturity and presence which surpass many male lead actors' in their 20s.
Zheng Kai is outstanding among the Guardians of the Ancient Oath cast, due to his handsome looks and majority (age 33). He looks like a young Andy Lau. He has been cast recently in many supporting roles, but I hope that casting agents and production companies make note of his acting presence in Guardians of the Ancient Oath, and upgrade him into the Male Lead category.
My two most favorite characters are Bai Li Hong Shuo and Ming Ye Feng. Zheng Kai is outstanding among the cast, due to his handsome looks and majority (age 33). He looks like a young Andy Lau in his Ming Ye Feng character. I am continually impressed with Leo Wu as an actor. At age 20, he possesses a maturity in acting and presence which surpasses many male lead actors' in their 20s.
This drama is a diamond. I did not expect to see the polish and shine in a costume C-drama production. I haven't complained about anything, except the one minute quick flash flashbacks. The editing and music usually drive me up the wall, when I watch the C-dramas. Finally a film editor who knows his professional job. The music composer is very versatile, and knows how to enhance the scene with the BGM. The director is really staying on top of all department heads, and the output is exceptional. The martial arts scenes are well choreographed; the quality of martial arts films.
Deng Lun's character fashion sense is questionable, but his men's suits seem to be tailormade to his build.
Too many big squares on the suit! LOL
Sometimes, the more garish, the outfit, it can take away from the actor's acting performance, as the brain is sidetracked while watching the visuals and listening to the audio.
Maybe wait a while to make fast forward more pleasurable as some hateful characters scenes come be skipped. I…
I watched twenty episodes, and half of it was filled with filler and flashbacks. The only characters I like, are Begonia and her brother, and the rouge employee who talks pleasantly with Begonia. The Mother seems to be vacant. Does she have early stages of Dementia?
