Yes, but for someone reason I can’t pay for the tv option using Apple ID.

They are definitely greedy. All Chinese online networks. They even make us pay more for express while paying a VIP subscription🙄

Indeed, however critics seem to think they can dictate their standards and body shame Chinese men to project what their preference.

Oh I wish I can tag someone on this comment 😂

You are absolutely correct.

I think international critics sometimes overlook that, as an international audience, we are not the primary market for most of these dramas. The real value lies in the domestic Chinese market, which is the intended audience and the one that ultimately shapes the industry’s priorities. For that reason, there is little incentive for producers to tailor their work to meet foreign standards. They may attempt to appeal to international viewers, but doing so risks diluting their original intent and undermining the expectations of their core audience.
What truly matters, and what remains the top priority, is the Chinese market and the preferences of Chinese people.

The actors and narratives are designed to resonate with local viewers, particularly women and fans who find these portrayals appealing. Within that cultural context, the men depicted are considered perfectly acceptable, and they will naturally form relationships with women who do not subscribe to the idea that they must be constantly catered to or “fed” in the way some international audiences might expect.

I’m struggling to get the tv version via iPhone. Is the another way to subscribe to it without google play?

Totally.

That’s the reason I couldn’t watch fated hearts. I think there’s improvement here. A great one at that. He doesn’t have a lot under his belt, let’s give him time to grow.

I know that, surely you can comprehend that this is in relation to the character portrayal or are you just trying to be selective or nitpicking to prove some point?

Okay, have you watched The Rise of the Phoenixes?

I must say that Chen Zhe Yuan has truly impressed me in this Emperor role. His presence commands respect, his authority is unmistakable, and yet he carries himself with a quiet humility that makes the performance all the more compelling. There is a balance in his portrayal, a fusion of strength and restraint, which gives the character both grandeur and humanity.

I recall dropping Fated Heart because the production leaned too heavily on his appearance, presenting him as merely pretty, as though his face alone could not convey emotion. Yet even then he was cast as a commanding general, a role that required far more than surface charm. It was a mismatch, a waste of his potential, for his talent lies not in being ornamental but in embodying depth and gravitas.

In this Emperor role, however, he has been given the space to show what he is capable of. His expressions carry weight, his voice resonates with authority, and his movements reflect the discipline of a leader who understands both power and responsibility. He is not simply acting; he is inhabiting the role, and in doing so he elevates the entire production.

Chen Zhe Yuan is not just great, he is proving himself to be versatile, magnetic, and worthy of far more complex roles. His artistry deserves recognition, for he has shown that he can move beyond the superficial and deliver performances that linger in the mind long after the scene has ended.

It’s not hard when you know it’s not a true reflection of the drama. And involves complicated and unrelated situations such as disliking the actors and so on…

I mean currently, does the rating reflect the comments?

No, is it good?

Will check it out. Thanks.

Please send to me too.

What is the difference between AI and CGI use? And we definitely tell if it’s one or the other?

Try The Rebel Princess.

To say “I love Wu Jin Yan, but let this be her last year playing a young adult” is to undo the very sentiment expressed at the start. Love, if genuine, does not come with conditions that diminish the artist’s freedom to explore her craft. To place a limit upon her is not love, but rather a veiled criticism dressed in affection.

True admiration recognises the courage it takes to inhabit roles that demand depth, vulnerability and resilience. Wu Jin Yan has shown that she can embody characters who wrestle with trauma, who carry grief yet still search for light, who balance fragility with strength. Such performances are not bound by age, nor should they be confined by arbitrary expectations.

When someone declares affection and then immediately restricts it, the contradiction reveals itself. It is not love, but a desire to control, to dictate the boundaries of another’s artistry. Genuine respect allows an actress to grow, to evolve, and to continue surprising audiences with the breadth of her talent.

So, to say you love her while wishing to curtail her journey is to cancel the very claim. Love celebrates, it does not constrain.

Imagine someone saying such words to you in your own workplace, where dignity and respect should be the foundation of every exchange.

I find myself wondering which actress could truly embody a role that demands such raw emotion and intelligence, a role where one must balance the trauma of being sold and used, carry the weight of a dead friend, and yet still learn to believe that there is light at the end of the tunnel, to trust new people and embrace hope once more. It is not a performance of surface charm, but a portrayal of resilience, of scars that speak louder than smiles, of strength that is born from suffering.

Do we not see, in real life, that those who have endured death and life situations reflect it in their very presence? Their eyes carry stories, their expressions reveal battles fought, and their bearing is shaped by the weight of what they have survived. Such truth cannot be faked, nor can it be hidden behind a mask of childish playfulness.

This is why her work resonates differently. It unsettles those who cannot relate, it challenges those who prefer simplicity, and it provokes those who would rather not confront the depth of human experience. Perhaps that is why some respond with jealousy or plain dislike, for it is easier to dismiss what one cannot understand than to face the mirror it holds up to the soul.
