There's a lot of praise about FXB's acting too. Most is that it was surprising that he could act this well. There was even a comment that he looked at ZXC with so much love that his wife might be jealous.
Most stated that it was such a shame that their best acting work could not be shown in the mainland.
Also the cast was praised all around. There was no "blackhole" among the cast.
I'm posting a weibo post about an analysus of ZXC's acting of the role Pei Su... It's long so i'll put it in spoilers...
Let me talk about Zhang Xincheng's interpretation of Pei Su. Pei Su is introverted and multifaceted, and there won't be too many dramatic performances.
His multifaceted "face" when facing different people. In the first episode, he took out the dandy boy's set of arrogant Luo Weizhao. The novel writes that he is the boss of Zhang Donglan's group of rich second-generations, so he must take out that set of frivolous and indifferent face to interact with them.
There are two points about the rich second-generation face. One is smiling. He will squint his eyes first and then smile. For example, when he said to the teacher that he is an ordinary person with money, it is a typical smile that does not reach the bottom of his heart. The other is the voice. At the end of yesterday's 28th episode, he changed to a frivolous and contemptuous tone when he was on the phone in the car.
The second set of face is for ordinary beauties, which is also written in the novel. This set of face is like a spring breeze. Whether he met Tang Ning and Chen Chen downstairs at Tao Ze's house and chatted sweetly, or when he didn't know that it was Luo Weizhao's mother who came to deliver food, he would chat with beautiful people in a relaxed and friendly manner, and he was an unforgettable charmer.
The third set of face was for Luo Weizhao. When Pei Su knew that the little white flower, the game console, and the frying pan were all made by Luo Weizhao secretly for him, he took off the face of being angry with Luo Weizhao. After prying the door of the villa in episode 14, they went to the back to eat noodles together. Luo Weizhao taught him to wash dishes, and Pei Su looked at Luo Weizhao with eyes similar to those of a small animal. Blinking slowly with eyes wide open, it was really heart-warming.
After being discharged from the hospital after the explosion, he returned to Luo Weizhao's house and stood at the door of the bedroom and asked, "Brother, are you here to watch me?" "Don't you have anything to ask me?" He was already like a kitten attached to his owner, exposing his most vulnerable belly and rolling around, as if saying, "Come and touch me."
Pei Su is mostly obedient in front of Luo Weizhao. I always feel that he enjoys Luo Weizhao's supervision of him. The more he is supervised, the more excited he is.
The fourth set of skin is "Pei is a 1 outside", very A. I always like the double strength. Pei Su can manage the business left by his biological father at the young age of 21 and trace the album plan of that year. He is really a person with strong heart and ability. The first time he got on the A13 car, he flipped the badge in his hand and spoke casually, his eyes and voice were sharp and contemptuous.
I was also deeply impressed by the interrogation of Xia Xinan. He said the sentence "You will never meet someone who is willing to give his life for you again", and his eyes trembled slightly downwards twice. This sentence is not only said to Xia Xinan, but also hurts his own kind, thinking of himself. This kind of very subtle expression and acting method, if you don't look carefully, you won't realize that he acted so well.
There is also the scene of the bond stone restoration case where Pei Su asked Luo Weizhao, "Hug or kiss?" He stood on tiptoe. He was shorter than Luo Weizhao, but after standing on tiptoe, he was looking at him at eye level. The aura was controlled by Pei Su. He was indeed in a posture ready to kiss. I am really impressed by this subtle acting.
In addition, voice is also a kind of acting. Zhang Xinben's own voice is the rich chest voice of singing in musicals. He kept it in the whole play to fit the character. But it sounds very nice. He is cold when he should be cold, contemptuous when he should be contemptuous, and nonchalant when he should be nonchalant. When he calls him senior brother, it makes people's heart tremble. I am your senior brother, my brain is numb first, okay, I will give you my life, Mr. Pei.
Question: I've read some douban comments on how JITD is much better than Guardian or even Word of Honor and since I haven't watched either or both, is this true? Maybe Guardian but Word of Honor was career defining for its stars and a product of some would say an era of peak chinese drama production so I'm skeptical.
Fu Xin Bo, JITD director and one of the scriptwriter is attending ZXC musical today... CP fans are celebrating and also joking if the govt. will intervene since the 2 protagonists of a banned drama are meeting... ๐ ๐
Wow, China is actively censoring ๅ ยทๆทต. Anything hashtagged ๅ ยทๆทต, although not taken down, is not recommended so no one could view it. One weibo user said she posted something in douyin and was surprised it remained on 0 views but she edited out ๅ ยทๆทต from the hastag and all was normal again... ๐ฎโ๐จ
Funny comment on weibo.... "ZXC and FXB acted very well but their red ears gave them away", ๐. I saw some stills, they really did have red ears. ๐คฃ
Something very rare happened, douban rating climbed from 7.2 to 7.8! ๐ I wish netflix or another international platform will buy the rights for this show so that more people can watch it. I still feel cheated on the 1 year youku subscription that i bought just to have vip access on this show only to have it on a standstill in episode 8. One funny thing is that I saw a clip of a wowow broadcast that was flooded by chinese comments๐คฃ
No one is refusing anything, obviously itโs an adaption of a BL so itโs a BL my comments were only intended…
Uhm... You know, you remind me of a street preacher shouting about fire and brimstone. Sure, you are passionate about your advocacy, and I can respect that, but the way you're going about is a turn off you know. I want to talk about the show but here you are preaching. Yes, we know that there are homophobes and even those with fetishes. So what? They watch the show too. They appreciate it. And whether or not they appreciate it in a different way than you, that's ok. This is freedom and the internet. If you are hurt by their beliefs, then don't read their comments. Let's focus on the positive things. You cannot force anyone to change their minds. They can do that on their own. You'll never know if this show can even be the start of that change. But what you're doing is shoving away those people rather than welcoming them.
You do know that Pei Su and lou weizho don't treat each other as brothers. Why keep insisting on something they…
The thing is I don't really think its homophobia, they know that its based on a gay novel yet they are still watching it. It's a difference of interpretation of a visual "adaptation" of a gay novel.
Just be a fujoshi not an activist...
I'll stop here and go back to weibo and camp at various reactions of cp fans by Ying er's (Fu Xinbo's wife) like on cp pics of PS and LWZ
You do know that Pei Su and lou weizho don't treat each other as brothers. Why keep insisting on something they…
Homophobia or not, you won't really make them pro gay if you keep on antagonizing them. Better to let them be and make them watch it. Who knows maybe they'll change their mind at the end...
You do know that Pei Su and lou weizho don't treat each other as brothers. Why keep insisting on something they…
So this is a book reader vs the non book reader argument. I can understand then her bromance stance if she was a non book reader. Seeing the show without reading the source material, seeing it as only bromance is acceptable. She's probably seen a lot of korean shows where bromance is prolific. Korean shows even have a lot of skinship between guys and yet its still bromance, lol.
You do know that Pei Su and lou weizho don't treat each other as brothers. Why keep insisting on something they…
Art is subjective. If he/she appreciates it that way then that is his/her own interpretation. Don't shoo away people who don't agree with you, just agree to disagree.
what I realized from reading your comment is that ml life besides he's that he love fl is not exist and it's not…
The ml is not a doctor though... He's a competent businessman and half of the drama is spent in his workplace where he does actual work. He basically runs a grocery online with curated food products.
Most stated that it was such a shame that their best acting work could not be shown in the mainland.

This show is for everyone, whether you're straight, gay, "fetishizer" and even homophobes... ๐
