I like WJT in You're My Lover Friend. I think that was the first time I saw him.
hahaha, I actually watched him in this other drama, which I loved. His chemistry with Lu Yuxiao was amazing in that drama. That's why I took note of him in YAMLF. Also, YAMLF is my comfort drama. I have probably rewatched it like 4-5 times, so it's hard for me to forget any character in that drama, especially WJT's character.

I don't know who's being childish here, but you are literally creating a whole new script in your head for a drama that has absolutely nothing to do with this drama. As Enigma replied to you below: Good luck with your script and pitch it to a director in China.

Ahh, the careful writing can also make ML even more unpredictable, layered, and compelling, yada yada yada. The SML trope was also used so many times, in fact, it's been used more times than "forbidden romance between a species and its hunter". You just want to hate on ML, just admit it and move on; no need to sugarcoat it.
2ML and her would’ve made a way better story. The cliché “dead parents, self-righteous protector” backstory…
The cliché "Childhood friend, who is years older than me, probably is a pedo, because he's started to have feelings for me since I was a little kid while he was a full grown adult, is obsessed with me" is also boring.

I first saw him in Time And Him Are Just Right. Loved his character and his chemistry with Lu Yuxiao. Also loved his character in You Are My Lover Friend. He's got a very mesmerizing voice, too. I don't think he dubbed for his character in MR, though.
I'm just sincerely wishing you luck in what you have set out to do.

And there's also this thing about imaginary scenarios; if you can write one for 2ML, why can't you do the same for ML?
I mean, you are literally changing the core character of 2ML with your writing, you can also do it for ML and not make it "cliché".

Xu Kai is not Mei Zhuyu.
Tian Xiwei is not Wu Zhen.
They are the characters they are portraying.
Criticizing a character does not equal criticizing the actor/actress playing the character.
You can absolutely hate a character and still love the actor. Like me with WZS (character) and WJT (actor playing WZS).
