True. Meng Ziyi's roles in this and Blossom are very similar in that aspect. Definitely suits her visage to be cold too, with how doll-like she looks. Well cast.
I find it very strange that in costume C dramas "strong and independent" women are all too often portrayed…
I just finished Key to the Phoenix Heart and the FL was fairly strong and independent without being cold, mean, and often cruel. Not wrong though, definitely a pattern. I think other good examples would be Blossoms in Adversity and Destined.
I wonder when she will have more main lead roles. Watching Blossoms of Power and realized she is in it, but only as supporting again. Hoping for more from her. So lovely, though not very realistic looking.
I don't particularly care what her past was, but I want to see her in more roles. Absolutely in love with her looks in "It's Okay to Not Be Okay." Most beautiful woman I have ever seen.
I preferred the Zhang Wan Yi and Ren Min couple in Rise of Ning more, but this was fairly decent too. The characters definitely personified the title of "A Splendid Match."
