The most engaging historical romances of the year.
Watching The First Jasmine has been a wonderful experience, and a huge part of that is the outstanding performances by Bai Lu and Cheng Lei.
Bai Lu delivers one of her strongest performances as Ye Li. She portrays intelligence, vulnerability, determination, and quiet strength with remarkable depth. Every glance and subtle expression adds another layer to her character.
Cheng Lei is equally captivating. His portrayal of Mo Xiuyao is restrained yet deeply emotional, showing pain, dignity, and unwavering devotion without relying on exaggerated expressions. His eyes convey so much that words often aren’t needed.
Together, Bai Lu and Cheng Lei have exceptional chemistry. Their relationship develops naturally through mutual trust, respect, and emotional understanding, making every shared scene compelling and memorable. Their performances elevate the drama and make The First Jasmine one of the most engaging historical romances of the year
