I haven't seen Jing Boran in anything so I have no clue about how good an actor he is. But what I do know is that…
I saw him in "Psychologist" and couple movie - "Us and Them", "One Smile Is Very Alluring" (both movies very good, I recommend them))) he very good actor and also handsome (and hot)))
This drama patriotic and CCP propaganda, if you can't tolerate it, just don't watch it. I'm personally can't tolerate it (because of objective reasons) but I understand why actors took those roles, in such county as China (that's why XZ also already has 2 roles in patriotic dramas). So I only watch Lusi parts, and she actually good in this one.
I very want see them together again, but as you said not right now, there other example Bai Lu and LYX, I think after couple years I will be happy see them in modern drama, in some totally different. And I'm still believe and wait reedited version of LLTG))
For my opinion, Hou Lang will not dragged her (script was made for 7 years), I hope it will show her as versatile…
Yep, that's what I said, for me it was very good decision, her career skyrocketing (which also bring her abnormal amount of hate), it's good slow down a bit , got more experience and reputation , after she will has her idol drama Hidden Love , from very popular novel and all sweet moments
So I only watch Lusi parts, and she actually good in this one.
Also drama was first one among all dramas on TV this 3 days and have very good ratings)
And I'm still believe and wait reedited version of LLTG))
