its her acting, could also be combination of plastic surgery/ and bad acting that her face doesn't move in a way you want to see emotions. I had problem with her acting also in 'General and I'. I did notice straightaway her lips/mouth area appeared to have been filled. It was noticeable in that drama. But her acting has improved in this current drama somewhat, but I'm still in early episodes. She is not known to show much emotional depth in her drama. And in General and I had problem with her smiling when it was inappropriate. It appeared to me she was more concerned with looking pretty rather than actually embodying the character she meant to.

you were talking about her voice or her talk? she is meant to act like a male initially, and wears male clothing... drama is good overall, I'm enjoying it, 5th episode already, i started today. You missing out. Yes she may not be the best actress but this should not deter you from watching it. Her acting has greatly improved since last time I saw her in a drama. Lots of others great actors, eye candy, beautiful costumes... its may not be the best production but doesn't seem high budget drama overall, but seems good for what it is.

that seems superficial reason. Its her own voice...

Yes you misinterpreted my point. But its true the younger a person is the more they would think a 40 year old actor is old and middleaged. While a 22 year is good and appropriate. Even if the 40 year old actor looks very young is appropriate for the age he is portraying. I never stated the former poster was shallow or immature or has nothing of substance to contribute, so don't put words in my mouth.. Its your own judgements that are the problem.

You don’t know the meaning of demeaning 🙄

Well people are still watching it even after 8 years, you can’t say it hasn’t stood the test of time. According to who? Have you done research? Wallace looks 30 in that drama and that’s about the age he meant to portray. You don’t like Wallace and that’s fine. Who cares really.

You must be very young, teenager? That would explain it… the older generation we like real men as ML, not someone who looks 18…Wallace was 40 in that drama but looks 30, and FL was just 25 at the time. Not old at all. You can’t decide what people going to like. Everyone is different. my post was for everyone. Not just you. Let people judge for themselves.

Personally I wasn’t that impressed with the Double. I liked ‘General and I’ better. I like the story but the main leads have lack of chemistry. ML is too young in the Double. General and I was high rated drama in China. It is not quite a revenge drama. But he fight scenes are amazing, much better than the Double. Anyway, it’s just a suggestion for people who want to see something else. I’m not comparing the two really. And there is no need for it.

Anyone looking for a drama to watch, I recommend 'General and I'. I enjoyed it, Its an older drama with Wallace Chung and Angelababy. its pretty long though and lots of filler episodes that you can skip if you want. Also you will see a familiar face there from the Double. Its a war/palace drama with lots of great fight scenes, and lots of romance, if you craving for it. FL needs acting classes though,but she improves in the 2nd half. But both MLs are dreamy. Lots of eye candy too. lol Highly recommended!

Thank you! Yeah she’s an important villain so will hang around for sometime.

since you watched it several times, can you please tell me when will Noble Consort Zhang demise come? I absolutely hate her guts. But I'm only on episode 12.

Yeah I am watching it now, she is very pretty but lacks in acting skills, has same face in every scene, and not much emotional depth. I recently watched The Double, the FL there was phenomenal, actress Wu JinYan, would have been a much better drama if she was FL.

I loved his playfulness. You should have continued with it as ML carried this drama. He was one of the most loving caring protective ML I have seen in a longtime. He never got angry at FL even when she was stubbornly doing something that just brought more problems for her and her group of friends, and made him suffer. This is a light watch. Music was delightful and some amazing kissing scenes.

Yeah she is one dimensional. She plays the same character in all her dramas. But she’s cute and her dramas are light enough and not to be taken seriously. Just before watching this drama, I watched The Double and joy of life. Compared to those two, this drama is pretty weak. Can’t really compare. But Zhao Lusi drama is good to watch between heavier dramas just for a bit of fun and to rest up emotionally

FL was annoying. It was disorganised. The fight scene at the end was lame. The ending was confusing… it seems the editing was terrible so no explanation given for a lot of things. My personal rating is 5 out of 10, and that is for the ML, otherwise it would be 1. What I liked is ML. The kissing scenes, the music.

I loved the ML, and I think he carried this show… FL was annoying most of the drama and only some character development in the last 3rd of the drama. I wanted to drop this drama so many times but watched because of ML. The music was wonderful. Zhao Lusi plays same character in each drama… granted I only have seen her in a few dramas but there is never any changes. She is still young, I hope we see more depth in her acting after she recovers. ML- I’m going to look out for his drama, I totally fell for him

People who want romance, will have difficulty with Joy of life. That’s probably why you dropped. But it’s breathe of fresh air. I loved it, Can’t wait for season 3

I just finished watching this drama. FL was very smart, intelligent and cunning. She could outsmart anyone. With her character and intelligence I dont see how she would have allowed Shen Yurong to kill and bury her alive. Thats a big plothole. With her smartness she would have talked him out of it. She would have found out exactly why he was doing it and talked him into releasing her, letting her go. But then again we would not have the story of her becoming Jiang Li. And everything that came after. But definitely a character like her would not be buried alive.

yes i felt sad for her, honestly all she wanted was to be loved and have a family with a good man, but she went about it the wrong way... evil was done to her and so she turned evil herself.

The best drama was Joy of life2....
