Holy tomatoes 🍅 ! He’s only 25! My Lethal Man was the one that sealed the deal for me with him and he must have been only 23ish while filming. Agree FZX was absolutely fabulous in Present, Is Present. The other actor I was also truly shocked with age and their already seasoned on screen presence is Wang Xing Yue.

I really, really feel like Fan Zhi Xin is on the cusp of a big break. He is immensely talented despite his age and his acting is natural and fantastic. In some ways it's quite surprising that despite the fact that he only debuted in 2020, he lacks that awkwardness or that transition phase that some newer actors have when they start headlining projects (perhaps it's because he's had a lot of experience in side roles and as an extra in other shows).
It's really smart for him to take on a bunch of supporting acts and shorter dramas where he can really show off the incredible range of his acting. I already had my eye on him in Present, Is Present, when he did an amazing job as a character who had both "villain-like" and "puppy-like" sides, and all of his acting choices (even as the main lead) often feature characters that are quite different and distinct from each other. I really hope that eventually he headlines a large budget script; he's very good at convincing his audience with his performances, and making what (could potentially) be a very cringey and melodramatic script into something believable through his acting.

This one is a step above the usual short episode. To say atmospheric is to say too little. What a beautiful drama with gorgeous actors and excellent direction. I declare to you I’m here just to watch the ML walk down the street, but there is so much more. The drama makes the Chinese Republican era look like a fairy tale in twilight with lush backdrops and elegance dripping from every scene. Can this level of intensity be maintained all the way through? If not, I’ll just watch the first part again.
