Sounds like the party doesn't want wuxia/xanxia dramas either. Pursuit of Jade is one thing, but Veil of Shadows was even more reliant on visual appeal and not grounded in reality. ZLH looked plenty masculine and imposing with his visuals, expressions, and acting, IMO.
Ml can’t emote a single emotions through his acting. I was excited for this drama but had to fast forward through…
I like the ML. IMO, his voice and intonations are his strengths. He plays similar characters in his past 3 or 4 roles, and has a similar vibe in each, so perhaps his acting and facial emoting can be improved. But I really like how he speaks.
IMO, ZLH's look makes him seem more intimidating to me compared to the other "General" actors. With how defined he looks and how stoic his expressions are, he makes it look like he's strong enough to walk through Armageddon without an issue.
