Age has nothing to do with the acting skills or the pairing (im talkin in general-not for the current drama). It depends on the character built, how they are written, their on screen chemistry the direction-so many things
Acting is objective, but chemistry is totally subjective-its a matter of taste. A pair may click for me and not for others or vice versa

Yeap, Shen and FL pairing looks really good!

Up to ep 21 and im dropping it.
I really cant stand the ML (the actor-not the character). I know he's aloof, stoic bla bla, but he is just empty. His eyes are empty, his body is stiff all the time, he looks uncomfortable in most scenes. FL is good but its impossible for her to fill the gap-actingwise. I hope he gets better in his future works. Happy watching to everyone guys!

Wallace Chen is great with Angela Baby in "General and I". Since you like him, go and watch it if you havent. Angela Baby is not even an actress but she is ok-he fills the gap and they are great together. Nice drama fast paced, intense, chemistry, beautiful kisses and fighting scenes-not anything special as a story but overall very nice and entertaining.

On the contrary, i get their age difference (IRL) and i really enjoy it that way. I like if it was implied that she is a bit older, since she already got married and spend some years on that wedding. I see their age difference in her eyes and his attitude, though its beautifully shown, but of course the 12 years are not shown in any way! The actress already looks very fresh and much younger than her age

Its my first historical after many months and i obviously forgot how draggy chinese can be in such dramas hahahhahaa. At least its a good production, i like tha costumes the props makeup and the general aesthetics so i ll enjoy it when things move on a bit faster!

oh ok! thanks! i was about to skip forward some scenes but i ll continue regurarly!

Still on ep9 and i really dont know what genre am i watching. Its clearly not a revenge story (or a very slow moving revenge story).
It looks to me like a harem-palace story, or a historical soap or something. Is it getting better later or remains in the same rythm?

Road home was very beautiful in landscape shooting, the mongolian desert, the costumes and the music. But i was bored, i didnt find any storyline. Thank god Jing Bo ran gave us Regeneration in which he really shines! I hope he gets same quality works from now on cause i ve been watching him for years and i like him so much as an actor
(Tan was even cringier in Sword and Brocade...with a very experienced ML and a great actor in intimate scenes, but she was also meh).

In chinese historical dramas, actors often get dubbed by others (or by themselves later in the studio) not only because they may be weak in line delivery, but mostly because there is a restriction speaking mandarin, and not all actors speak mandarin as they may not have learned it or the may have an accent that makes it difficult. Other times actors dub themselves later in the studio depending on the noise during shooting (or extreme use of chi effects or sound effects that make their voice not being recorded the right way during shooting. Its not a matter of good/bad voice, or anything else. In China there are many very popular dubbers and often we get confused in historical dramas (Or xianxia) when we hear the same dubbing actor/actress dubbing so many heroes/heroines)

Is it good? Im following his works. He is not the best actor out there, but all his roles are made for him and he is always decent. I like him overall very much

Nope! The other one with Yang Zi, the Psychologist. Same cringe with both. Such a waste of a great kisser!

Yang Mi was really good in her early years. Then...she became famous and super rich, she doesnt care about acting its clear now

Oh im glad he is ok in some other works. Ive not watched him in many things cause i didnt like him in Legends so i was not interested in any other of his dramas

Timy Xoo! Another great kisser.

Oh god Yang Zi! You re right! I remember her with Jing Bo Ran (who is on the top of the good kissers list, really TOP), and i was like WHY WHY (Xu Kai is not comfortable with kissing scenes, he himself said that once in an interview. But ok im fine with him cause i dont find him that good as an actor in general

If it werent for Bai Lu...(who is great with every ML esp in such scenes) i doubt he could make it. I dont like him in kissing scenes. But she is really great!

I had that in mind too! Thanks!

Very overrated.
What did we learn from the whole show's point of view to autistic people and the law world?
Autistic people are nice as long as they are cute and genious.
If they are common people, not having extra skills, they cant have any opinion, no one takes them seriously, no one brings a specialist to give a prof help to understand them.
If they are women, they cant choose with whom they re gonna have s*x and of course their mother cant be accused of abusing them even if she drags them along the hall outside the court room.
No one will hear them.
As for the lawyers...
its fine if you work in one of the 2 most famous and highly paid law firms, under bosses who have their job by nepotism, no matter the times you have to literally bury innocents people, fire workers and blackmail working women. Everything is fine as long as you are cute and you have cute colleagues who are good people deep inside.
Dolphins are cute
Wales are cute
Everything is cute.
And repetitive -copied by hollywood 90s style-as hell.

And we didnt even hear the ep9 great guy's sentence! Maybe its better that we didnt!
