Title Double Helix
The Chinese BLbfound a formula, red flags in angst romance then oull out super loveable BTS , I mean if it ain't broken.... now if the BTS clips are kinda scripted as well Ayden and Si Tong are even better actors than they already are in the drama and have my full admiration. And Si Tong is already quite amazing, whenever I see a clip I can tell right away without any dialogue taking place if he is Yi Chen or Elio, that is quite incredible metamorphosis he's got going whne playing the character. And it is not at all just the horrible hair styling, that is actually kinda unnecessary to be honest, he becomes Yi Chen with the eye expressions even in the jaw set and body posture... really stop the hair π«£ Ayden's character change is less pronounced compared to the BTS , he and Lu Feng share the same lovesick expression quite often, the main difference would be kinda softness, like I can absolutely believe LuFeng would accidentally kill his loved one if in manic episode (and then absolutely ruin himself over it too) but Ayden doesn't give that vide at all so that would be the main distinction for me even if the expression is similar. So both are very good actors for being so recognizable from their characters even if the scenes in the drama and rehearsals/BTS are sometimes literally same. I think except for marketing value the BTS cult is actually very useful to highlight actors' skills like so.
