As a fan of the prequel...this one is hard to stomach. Giving it a shot and I am not impressed. LOL Those close up shots, they need to stop with those close up shots! Especially with Yan Xun!
I don't have issue with age gaps because some look great together. In this case? !🙅♀️🙅♀️🙅♀️ She looks like a 13 - 15 year old! I can't even take this drama seriously. I'm cringing here.
How low is MDL going to stoop with these misleading articles?
But the problem goes much deeper: producers using internet to milk the actors' good looks (and maybe talent but I am not sure...) dry in order to get clicks and make money. They have all lost sense of propriety, personal space and dignity. Money is what is important. If you give the fans a glimpse of a star, they'll try to take the sky by hounding actors wherever they may be: on the internet or in real life.
When I see the huge numbers of posts on feeds about c dramas: most of them are just the fans salivating over how hot the actors are and insinuating what they'd love to do to them. Extremely toxic and unhealthy behaviour mostly sanctioned by agents and producers.
Until a couple of years ago we had the same phenomenon with Thai BL actors though that seems to have calmed down a lot probably just due to the sheer amount of BLs coming out of Thailand, with too many different pairings. Too many for just a few to take the front of the stage. Not like 5 years ago when the same problems arose: toxic fans demanding outrageous attention and proximity to the actors, conflating fact and fiction (do you remember the fans going overboard about Ohm and Nanon pairing break up?).
And then when the actors fight back they are forced to apologize! What a sick world we live in!
How anyone can misread this article as making Dylan out to be a villain is beyond me. I know it's become a thing to attack the author and call her names and use foul language (just like the netizens that supposedly these commenters are against), but I don't get it. Reporting is reporting, not attacking. I want to know news of what's happening with actors/actresses that I watch so I appreciate the articles and I don't see anything in them as calling for attacks on actors.
I've reported one such commenter, not because they have a difference of opinion than I do, but strictly because of the hate, maliciousness and foul language. Maybe others who feel the same way will also.
First thought when I saw the headline was, "Good for him!" After what Zhang Linghe and other stars have gone through with crowds in their faces I have no sympathy for anyone who can't respect these actors as human beings.
In a way this could be partly solved by allowing the celebs to openly date, and marry, and not pretend to stay single because it's every sasaeng fan's fantasy that the person "could" be in a relationship with them in their delusional state of mind.
These aren't fans, they're big game hunters stalking their prey. They don't care about Zhang LInghe as a person or as an actor. If they did they wouldn't put him in danger or any of the people around him. You don't do that to someone you care about.
He's just as object because he's riding a wave of popularity at the moment. If he gets bad reviews in his next drama will they still be around? One would almost hope that he does fall from grace for his own safety. If I were an actor I think I'd prefer to be a really good supporting player. Who needs to be the object of this type of obsessive behavior.
This legit makes me want to cry, how horrible to treat another human being this way. These fans are absolute lunatics. These people need to be prosecuted.
I once saw Gong Yoo shoot a commercial overseas, there weren't even that many fans there, maybe less than 30 that were respectfully watching him shoot it (this was right after Goblin so everyone was obsessed with him). The whole place was cordoned off and everyone was letting the shoot go on normally.
BUT
Once the shoot finished and he began to walk back to his car with his team, the way the fans surrounded him and tried to get to him freaked me out so much. It was so scary and I was just terrified from the sidelines, never mind being the one at the center of the attention. I can't imagine what the actors feel with that level of intensity.
