Once, there were rumors that one of my favorite actors would star in a drama with TJC. At that moment, I was really surprised. Because unlike other fan clubs, TJC’s fans weren’t constantly making sly remarks like “we don’t care about supporting roles.” On the contrary, they were very happy. Later, I realized the problem wasn’t with the fan clubs, but with the actor himself. A good actor also guides their fans in the right way.

I don’t want to repeat the same thing. Scroll up and read my comment again. You’re the type who’s used to belittling other actors at every opportunity. Nobody said Vanda would be the lead role. It’s you who keeps insisting she’ll only be a supporting role. Did anyone ask that? No. Did anyone ask if XZ would carry the drama? No. Then stop praising your idol at every chance.

Sure, everyone knows that. Constantly implying that someone is just a supporting character while taking every opportunity to praise your idol isn't 'just telling the truth.' It’s diminishing someone’s role just to find an opening to hype up another. You can explain a person's role without making comparisons. Also, these words aren't just for the XZ fandom; fans of many popular actors do the same. It’s as if acknowledging someone else as a lead actor would somehow be an insult to their own idol.

Chen Du Ling has played female villain roles many times. In fact, in my region, many viewers are biased against her because of those roles. I used to be one of them too, lol. But I started liking her later on (especially after realizing she has a completely different aura in real life 😅).
This is why some actors are hesitant to play villains. Or, once they play a bad character, they keep getting offers for similar roles—Yan An, for example. I’m not sure if this is because actors constantly choose the same types of dramas or if the industry keeps sending them similar scripts.

Joseph's character here is very similar to his character in the MLC series. I feel like he often plays similar roles. This also applies to other actors; once an actor becomes famous for a certain genre, they tend to receive script offers for that same genre over time.
Additionally, I really love Joseph's role. I always feel like he is underrated and only brought into series to carry the show. They don’t value him as much as he deserves. I hope he gets more screen time in the future episodes.

That’s exactly what the person you replied to was talking about. Belittling other roles by calling them supporting characters, constantly praising your idol. Stop doing this. Everyone already knows very well which roles the actors have taken on.

Which episode does this happen in? Because I haven't seen this scene yet.

But she met with Chi Wen. Isn't that a memory too? You're right about that; she couldn't hide it from the Fox Queen. I suppose she must have used some kind of spell so that the other foxes wouldn't notice.

I mean, there’s one thing I don’t understand. Weren't these foxes sharing their minds? How is it that the other foxes don't find out Wu Wang Yan is collaborating with Chi Wen?

Ju Jing Yi & Tian Jia Rui
Joseph Zeng & Chen Du Ling

I said that because of the ranking. And JJY would never play a character that stays in the background. CDL stands out more, but as the story unfolds, Lu Wu Yi is starting to show himself too.

Ju Jingyi is paired with Tian Jiarui, and Chen Duling is with Joseph Zeng.

I don’t know if others feel the same way, but the second couple’s chemistry is way more impressive. Initially, I wanted to start watching for the JJY-TJR ship, but now that I’m watching, CDL and JZ have really caught my eye. CDL and JZ feel like the main leads, while JJY and TJR feel more like the second lead couple.

For me, this is the best series of the year. I've dropped every other recent show I started, but this one really draws me in. It’s absolutely perfect.

Actually, she isn't acting sweet; with her movements and especially her gaze, she is practically screaming that she is a demon.

I understand, but it's impossible to control emotions. Even when it comes to male actors, I can spot the slightest acting mistake. I can even see the flaws of my favorite actor and comment accordingly.

That’s a Turkish comment.

JJY’s expressions felt a bit strange to me in this drama. It’s like she’s openly giving the look of ‘I’m the villain.’ In that case, it’s impossible not to be suspicious of her. But I can’t tell whether this is the actress’s fault or simply required by the role.

And CDL also delivered an acting performance in FoF similar to JJY’s acting here.

A Chinese user on X responded to this situation like this: Usually, the opposite sexes attract each other, so they don’t notice each other’s mistakes much. But when players of the same sex make mistakes, it immediately draws attention. Also, the majority of the audience consists of women.

But criticizing someone just because they criticized an actor for not being able to act is completely wrong. We all have the right to criticize in this matter. However, I’ve been watching JJy for a long time, and to me her acting doesn’t seem bad—on the contrary, she plays her roles in a cute way.

It’s because of the player ranking. Normally, the first and second leads form a CP, but in wuxia dramas things can be different.
