what do you mean he lack expression!!!. maybe you should pay attension to his microexpression. he was litrarly…
I don't care about the praise he received, but that's my opinion as a viewer. Maybe your opinion is biased as a fan and you don't accept criticism from third parties, but that's my opinion, scenes that should convey something, simply don't convey the feeling it should, this role seems like a catch-all for the same historical character he played in the last 2 years. I don't feel hate for him, but discomfort in acting, a role that could be a good actor, sometimes the Chinese industry makes space just because of the fandom that the actor has and which can increase the soap opera's audience, just by being a pretty face it opens up space in the industry, in my opinion this is the case of Chen Lei
I tried watching it; the story is different and good, but the actor is very bad. They should have chosen someone else; he made me give up watching. Cheng Lei lacks expression; this isn't the first time I've seen him act in a drama with the same lack of expression. In this drama, it seems like he's acting the same way he did in Legend of the Female General. He's only known for being handsome, but his acting is nothing special.
It's become my favorite C-drama; ML and FL have fantastic chemistry. I've even rewatched some episodes, and I'm not usually one to rewatch! The song "一念(电视剧《逐玉》插曲)" has become the one I listen to most often, even in my daily routine. I'm going to miss them both so much when it's over! A feeling of emptiness, hahaha.
