After reading so many reviews regarding Alan's act, I believe I will invite trouble with my review.

Alan's acting was well delivered IMO.
Jing Ci stoic posture was very noticeable especially during walking, that is true. But considering that as a person who had his hamstring cut and then diagnosed to be forever unable to walk too much, too fast or using his leg too strenuously, Jing Ci has to be mindful on how to walk, lest he expose his weakness to the enemies.

Expression wise Jing Ci also can show some gentleness and friendliness. It is subtle and only to certain people he comfortable with, but it is there.
Bear in mind he grew up with a complicated background and living style so he has to be very mindful to not show too much expressions. Plus, he.(Jing Ci) is not the ' must put a happy cheerful facade ' type of person, so being stoic and aloof is what he good at and I believe the camera loves to expose too much of that, it became unnecessarily over exposed.
Though if there is one unsatisfied act, that would be during the last scene with Mu BeiYan (tea/soup)...somehow a bit forced/ooc.

(I tried to find the scene about the camera shy, but maybe I am untrained...)

Another thing that bother me is YuQi portrayal as FL a bit too similar on hers in " And The Winer Is Love " .
That said, I like her.playing twin in this series, and.you can see the difference of which sister is which. Kudos!

Romance is the biggest let down to me in this series. The chemistry is almost non-existent therefore the ending is not too satisfactory to me.

All other actors and actresses played their roles well, adding the enjoyment factor to this series.

I won't touch the 'it is male.right to think what's best for his woman' theme... We are watching classic drama where ancient way of thinking is applicable..so...
