Sssnoopyyy:
I actually love the novel and drama versions of Jing, ofc Deng Wei made it that much better (and I can say the same for Tan Jian Ci playing XL and ZWY playing CX). The actors brought the characters to life and are very expressive.
With Jing, I appreciate the other details and context we get in the novel which outlines his intelligence (that may get missed in the drama due to timing). I also felt XY’s longing for him a lot in the novel, so much so that it proves the depth of her love. Couldn’t have been more evident, but ofc I cannot change ppl’s opinions on that loool
I agree the cast (including DW) did a great job bringing the story to life. People are entitled to their opinions, but seeing that many people like us do enjoy DW’s portrayal of Jing, there must be something there. Like many things in life, it can be hard to change someone’s opinion. But I feel crossing the line to criticize someone’s judgment/taste/opinion on a more personal level is just not cool. So yeah, I try to steer clear of some of the louder/harsher voices lol. This thread is a great place, however! So glad I found it
