p43425:
I feel pretty invested into some actors, as well as the characters they play (i.e. sometimes I'm more in love with the character than the actor) - but that's my heart. My head says: (1) Actors should be free to choose the work they want to do. (2) Good is good, regardless of whether it's BL or not - so if it's non-BL but good, and otherwise interests me, I'll certainly consider watching.
Yeah, I hear you. I seem to be able to separate the character from the actor pretty easily so even though there are some characters I really love, I can still watch the same actor, and I'm learning esp with c-drams, the same group of actors work together and not have a problem. But I can understand when people really adore an actor in role, like Wang Yibo and Xiao Zhan in the Untamed, they would find it hard to see the same actors together but not as Wei Ying and Lan Zan.
