What is Xiao Shao's character and his traits? I like both LYN and AR. Wonder why AR suits this role better.
Xiao Shao is someone very intimidating and cold-blooded. He grew up with an intense training and with revenge for those that he lost even before his birth so he and the female lead have that in common : behind their cold, ruthless appearance, they do have a certain sadness for the life that was stolen from them when they were only children I think this is also why he fell for JR : he met her when she had a very kind and pure heart. Five years later, she’s no longer that pure and naive little girl because she went through so much and he can identify with that, with the fact that she had kindness but had to leave it behind her for survival and revenge. Also JR is, just like him, despite being Ruthless to her enemies, she is true and loyal to her kins. Hope it helped you !
That is my only condition for Jiang Ruan and her manners ofcouse, which she learned by living 6 years in the Palace
I’d LOVE to see Aarif Rahman in a new idol drama ! As for Dilraba, she’s not one of my favorite actresses but I do think she would do a good job as Jiang Ruan !
I am on ep 6 , and the already existing GF of our ML is literally Gaslighting him !!! He just now found out about…
Female villains are often like that : even when they did exactly the thing they’re accused/suspected of, they are like « don’t you know my character ? You actually suspect me ? » and play all surprised as if they really believe they did not do anything
The actress ain’t very talented, and it’s getting more and more obvious for everyone (don’t know why some…
Not sure… How many times did I consider an actor or actress plain looking and then found them charm as I was conquered by their acting (ex : Peter Ho in Summer’s Desire, Aarif Rahman or Zhang Xue Ying ; even Chen Xing Xu : I didn’t find him that attractive at first, still think he’s not that handsome compared to many actors but his talent won me over ) In the end, good looks can’t compensate a bad acting and I think a lot of viewers feel the same way that I do : it’s much easier to like a plain-looking actor and actress with talent than someone who only has good looks
The FL constantly look like a lost puppy and her hair looks unkept and frizzy. Most of the time when she talks,…
The actress ain’t very talented, and it’s getting more and more obvious for everyone (don’t know why some producers insist on hiring bad actresses who have nothing but their looks and fame when everyone knows they ain’t good, like Gulinazha, Yang Chao Yue or Zhang Ruo Nan)
