Esther played serious roles as well and she slayed it , only because you didn't see it doesn't mean she can't…
The only two dramas where I saw her play a serious role are LBFAD and My Journey To You. LBFAD features her serious acting for less time than the cutesy style. My Journey To You I haven't watched so I can't judge her acting there. If there are more than these two serious roles, let me know.
Even having said that, my initial point still stands. We've seen all kinds of roles from Zhao Lusi. Esther Yu is known mainly for her cutesy role. They shine in different acting styles so it's stupid to compare them. But obviously, you really really want to.
Sure, but the majority of LBFAD was Orchid being all cute and naive and the five minutes of serious Orchid are incomparable to ZL's acting (In my opinion, Esther's acting in this role was not good.)
What role?
"Because of ZL and her fandom's schemes and salty hating" That literally sounds like what you're doing right now lmao. Salty hating.
Also, I said I wasn't hating on Esther Yu as I did enjoy some of her roles. It seems to me that you're really trying to make me look like a hater lmao.
They don't even play the same type of roles. This is in no way meant to be hate towards Esther Yu even though it might sound like it at times.
Esther Yu's roles were built on "cute, naive, aegyo-faced" vibes. I'm not saying that it's wrong — if that's what she's good at then obviously that's what she should do. Whether it's Orchid (Love between Fairy and Devil), Yue Qi (Sword and Fairy) or Lin Yu (Love Game in Eastern Fantasy), literally all of her characters have always been supposed to be cute, naive and aegyo-faced. And she does it well, that's her thing.
Zhao Lusi is someone who has played fun, serious, badass, cute and many more roles and we've already seen her acting range. We haven't really seen what Esther Yu can do since she's literally only ever played the same type of role.
So clearly, it's pointless to compare them. Zhao Lusi is an actress who has a large acting range. Esther Yu is an actress who only ever played one type of role.
Not to be spread hate but it is preposterous to want to compare the two. One has range the other does not and…
I don't hate Esther Yu nor am I a fan. In fact, I think she's an amazing choice for the roles she played. I think it's stupid to compare Zhao Lusi and Esther Yu. We've seen Zhao Lusi play serious roles, fun roles, cute roles, badass roles — we've seen her huge acting range. The thing is, all of Esther Yu's characters are literally built around the "cute, naive, aegyo-faced" vibe and if that's what she's good at, then that's what she should do. And it's also hard to judge if she's good or not since we've literally never seen her play anything else.
I agree with some of your points and disagree with others so I wanted to share my opinion. But the main reason I'm replying is that I think you deserve a normal, calm and non-insulting comment in your replies because why the hell are people fighting about two actresses that have absolutely nothing in common and shouldn't even be compared?
Just anyone, no matter what age and level of maturity, can start writing to MDL. Nobody reviews. The consequences…
Holy s**t. I've always used MDL only when I couldn't remember where I saw an actor or actress and this is quite literally the only article I've read here in the last 5 years I've been watching cdramas.
I had no idea article authors on here did such stupid things. Thank you for raising awareness!
