I think she's still got all that outgoing, spontaneous energy, just with a dash of 'I'm-in-my-20s-and-learning-sophistication' flair. Celebs have to switch it up, play different roles depending on the vibe, you know? But like Sstdrama145 pointed out, those vids prove your fave actress is still the same adorable goofball when she's not in 'sophisticated mode.' The charm? Still there. The lovable antics? Very much alive and thriving.

The whole 'pretty boy' trend? I just don't get it. I’ve always been more into the 'bad boy' type—Johnny Depp, Christian Bale, Judd Nelson in The Breakfast Club, John Travolta in Grease. You know, the ones who look like they might ride a motorcycle and break your heart. 🤭 That’s why LYN caught my eye—he's giving me major Bon Jovi vibes. If my high school choir teacher had looked like LYN with those glasses, I’d be hitting all the right notes—calling it 'Hidden Love: The Musical'! 😂

Preach! Acting chops are the main ingredient. An artist can tweak their looks to fit the role, but you can't fake that natural masculine presence. Give me a real masculine man who can serve up all the feels, whether he's the hero, villain, or a little bit of both, he'll be unforgettable. Mediocre dramas can keep their plastic Ken dolls—I outgrew those with my Barbie dream house.

Some of the stuff I've seen about LYN is so wild... I mean, if anyone thinks Liu Yu Ning isn't handsome, Chinese beauty standards must be on another planet. What are they judging with, a broken mirror? Do they need an eye exam? And as for his acting skills, I’ll form my own opinion after I watch this drama, thanks. I’m not here for the negativity Olympics or people who love setting limits like they’re the talent police.

I'm starving just watching this! 😆 If only there were more legit Chinese spots here... my taste buds are crying. 😭🍜So glad to see she's eating well, though. Some people were stressing about her weight loss. Watching her chow down in Who Rules The World was a whole vibe! 😂 You could tell she really loves food. Super relatable!

Congrats on your 1-second of fame. I saw 'Reveal Spoiler' and instantly decided my time was too precious to care what's behind it. ✌️

I’m all about this new wave of celebs embracing the natural look and reminding us that self-care isn’t about filters or flawless skin. It’s so refreshing to see them encouraging the younger generation to love themselves—imperfections and all. Because let’s be real, nobody wakes up looking airbrushed.

Zhao Lusi uses makeup in a way that enhances her naturally youthful and expressive eyes, often creating a soft, feminine look. Here’s how she typically does it:

Natural Eyeshadow Shades: She tends to stick to light, neutral tones like soft browns, pinks, and peaches that subtly define her eyelids without overwhelming her features. These colors blend smoothly to enhance her eye shape.

Eyeliner for Bigger Eyes: She usually applies a thin line of eyeliner along her upper lash line, sometimes extending it slightly to create a gentle, winged effect. The liner is often brown or dark brown, giving her eyes definition while maintaining a soft, natural vibe. This subtle wing helps make her eyes appear larger.

Soft Lashes: She doesn't overdo it with false lashes but opts for natural-looking ones or just focuses on curling her lashes and applying mascara to open up her eyes. The goal is always to keep things light and fluttery.

Aegyo-sal (Under-Eye Brightening): Zhao Lusi often highlights her lower lash line with a touch of light eyeshadow or shimmer, a technique called aegyo-sal in Korean makeup. This makes her eyes look rounder and more youthful, giving her that fresh, wide-eyed appearance.

Well-Groomed Brows: Her brows are typically softly arched and filled in lightly to frame her face. She avoids sharp or overly dramatic brows, keeping the overall look soft and harmonious.

The result is an innocent, approachable beauty that draws attention to her eyes without being too bold or dramatic, making her appear effortlessly radiant.

I couldn’t agree more! Zhao Lusi totally nailed Sang Zhi’s character from 14 to 20s. People saying her 14-year-old portrayal was 'too childish' clearly don’t have teens in their lives... I do, and trust me, I’ve got three little drama queen and kings (11-16). At that age, everything is a soap opera, complete with Oscar-worthy tantrums. Teens, y'all—everything is a life-or-death situation. 😂 And as for the overacting claims—please. Anyone saying that clearly hasn’t ventured outside their C-drama bubble. I grew up watching a wide range of stuff, and let's just say some C-dramas come off a bit too stiff, almost robotic, for my taste. That’s why Zhao Lusi is such a breath of fresh air—REALISTIC air. She brings a level of authenticity that feels real, not the usual overly reserved style. Honestly, she's the reason I gave Chinese dramas a shot in the first place, and her growing international fanbase just proves I'm not alone.

Someone translated on the vid, he said "You guys give each other a kiss too."

I’m probably a little bit more excited for more BTS of these two than the drama itself. 😂 William Chan looks like he’s an absolute blast on set! That man’s got everyone laughing. Check this out! https://www.youtube.com/shorts/yvNhBzUtJN8

She learned the technique called lip contouring. Think of it like 3D lips, poutier. It's a makeup technique used to enhance and define the shape of the lips, making them appear fuller, more symmetrical, or more structured. It involves using lip liners, lipsticks, gloss, and sometimes concealers or highlighters to create the illusion of depth and dimension. Here's how it's typically done:

Outline the lips: A lip liner, usually a shade slightly darker than your natural lip color, is used to trace just outside or along the natural lip line to enhance shape or volume.

Shade and blend: The outer corners or edges of the lips may be shaded slightly with a darker liner or lipstick to create the illusion of depth, while the center is filled with a lighter or more vibrant shade to make the lips appear plumper.

Highlight: A touch of highlighter or a light concealer is applied to the cupid's bow (the top center of the lips) and the center of the lower lip to catch the light and make them pop.

Gloss or matte finish: A gloss can be added to the center of the lips for a fuller look, or a matte finish can be used to emphasize the structured contour.

The end result can range from natural-looking enhancements to bold, dramatic lips depending on the desired effect

LYN's voice hits all the right notes for me. Reminds me of Bon Jovi—effortlessly switching between chest voice and falsetto, which creates a unique, powerful sound - giving you those goosebumps like you're front row at an '80s rock concert. It's the kind of power that makes you want to belt out the chorus even if your voice could never, ever compete.

I hope they collaborate in a modern drama 💖

I was thinking the same, maybe some of the events are related to TSOP promos? I've recently started a whole bunch of dramas and other than the Tale of Rose and 100 Days My Prince, I can't seem to get into it at all... I shouldn't have binge-watched LLTG, TROTR, HL, and WRTW within 6 months... now I'm stuck with rewatching until TSOP and I usually wait until all episodes are out so that I can binge-watch it. vicious cycle. 😭

Maybe they'll release a whole bunch of promos in one go and give everyone a heart attack. 🤣

I hope they do a live interview of TSOP cast. Her schedule is always so busy. I don't know where she gets all the energy.

É verdade. A beleza está sempre nos olhos de quem vê, né? Quero dizer, a beleza física é totalmente subjetiva—o que uma pessoa ama, outra pode nem notar. Mas a beleza interior? Essa é bem clara. Ou você é gentil, atencioso e brilha de dentro para fora, ou está servindo negatividade em uma bandeja de prata. E bom, talvez Zhao Lu Si não seja o seu tipo, mas milhões de fãs dela, tanto na China quanto no mundo, pensam diferente. Claro, existem atrizes veteranas com mais experiência e talento, mas, para mim, o que importa é o pacote completo: a atuação, o roteiro, toda a produção. Se esses elementos não se encaixam, para mim é medíocre.

Translation:
True. Beauty's always in the eye of the beholder, right? I mean, physical beauty is totally subjective—what one person loves, another might not even notice. But inner beauty? Now that is pretty straightforward. Either you're kind, considerate, and glowing from the inside, or you’re serving up negativity on a silver platter. And well, Zhao Lu Si might not be your cup of tea, but her millions of fans, both in China and around the world, think otherwise. Also it's true that there are veteran actresses with more experience and talent, but for me, it’s all about the whole package—the acting, the script, the entire production. If those elements don’t come together, it’s mediocre to me.

I'm betting she'll use the appropriate voice for a mature female news anchor. Same thing she did for TLI, with the significant change in the tone. A Yin's voice was younger and innocent, Feng Yin was mature and powerful.
