Angel Zhao was FL in The Princess Royal. She was a force in that role . Tremendous presence.

Song Yi was FL in Destined with Bai Jing Ting. I was very impressed with her. She has a gentle yet commanding presence. Elegant and tough at the same time.

Yes, she would’ve been a good choice. We didn’t get nearly enough of her in “In Blossom.”

My personal picks: Someone like the FL in The Double (Wu Jin Yan) would have been my first choice. There’s also another little-known actress who was the FL in My Uncanny Destiny (Zhang Yue Nan), whose charisma blew me away—she would have been a great choice. Even Angel Zhao or Song Yi would have had the right bearing and demeanor to really wow us. I think this role could have really stretched either one. Song Yi would have been especially captivating. She seems to be a bit taller too.Also, Deng En Xi (Melody of a Golden Age) would be a great choice—taller and also not waif-ish and I enjoyed her tremendously in Melody of a Golden Age—very charismatic.

He sang the OST in Story of Kunning Palace too: https://open.spotify.com/track/0NMSBuPUICjkzSO6A53888?si=ogg2Y3Y2RYazYsjgKZ4upQ.

Another song “My Only” is my favorite of his. I wish he could have done a duet with Whitney Houston. The powerhouse vocals of the two of them together would having been truly astounding. My Only: https://open.spotify.com/track/73nOhNPqtkx6OLHk6CSCat?si=zElCl8OAR2q-z8w814H69w.

His singing voice is feminine/soprano (truly remarkable and stunningly beautiful), but I believe his speaking voice is a regular masculine voice.

I feel everything you said.

I don’t feel sorry for him. He punched FL in the face. That shows right there who he really was. If he had ended up with her as in the first life, he would’ve mistreated her. His remorse in the end doesn’t change who he was deep within. After everything settled down, had he survived, he would’ve just gone back to being his usual trifling self.

I know that you had mentioned charisma already. I was just building upon that point.

Really? He looks short. Like 5’7 or 5’8.

Her size and physicality are not the issue for me. She’s actually doing well with the fight scenes. It’s that I don’t find her charismatic enough. Someone like the FL in The Double (Wu Jin Yan) would have been my choice. There’s another little-known actress who was the FL in My Uncanny Destiny (Zhang Yue Nan), whose charisma blew me away—she would have been a great choice. Even Angel Zhao or Song Yi would have had the right bearing and demeanor to really wow us. I think this role could have really stretched either one. Song Yi would have been especially captivating. She seems to be a bit taller too.

I can’t think of many tall, statuesque Chinese actressess. Most are petite. Judy Qi is rather statuesque, not your typical waif, but she’s more of a comedic actress. Actually, Deng En Xi (Melody of a Golden Age) would be a great choice—taller and also not waif-ish and I enjoyed her tremendously in Melody of a Golden Age—very charismatic.

It’s the actress. I don’t think this role is the right fit for her.

True. 😆🤣Yes, it’s watchable though. I was surprised at the romcom vibe too. I thought it was going to be a serious drama, heavier and darker.

I so agree with you about the baby voice. OMG. I said from the getgo even before this drama started that I had doubts about the actress and turns out I was right! She’s using the baby voice!

I noticed, however, with the ML’s very feminine-looking nephew in the mix, it makes it mildly plausible that someone would mistake the FL for male too. They look very similar, both being petite and pale and pretty. Mildly plausible, but not very. The nephew still looks male despite his feminine appearance. The FL clearly looks female, lol 🤦🏾‍♀️.

Makes sense

That gives me a new perspective.

Exactly, thanks
