She is not extremely thin at all. An example of a thin or slender actress is Bai Lu.
Some comparables:

- Esther is 168 cm (5'6") tall and weighs 50 kg (110 lbs)
- Wang Chu Ran height is 172 cm (5'7") and her weight is 48 kg (105 lbs).
- Bai Lu is 165 cm (5'5") tall and weighs around 44 kg (97 lbs)
- Ju Jingyi is 159 cm (5'3") tall and weighs 38 kg (83 lbs)
- Tiffany Tang is 173 cm (5'8") tall and weighs 44 kg (97 lbs)
- Yang Zi is 167 cm (5'5") tall and weighs 46 kg (101.2 lbs).
- Lu Yuxiao's height is 165 cm (5 ft 5 in) and her weight is 48 kg (105 lbs).
- Dilraba Dilmurat is 168 cm (5'6") tall and weighs 48 kg (106 lbs).
- Liu Haocun is 165 cm (5'4") tall and weighs 41 kg (90.2 lbs).
- Victoria Song is approximately 168.5 cm (5'6") tall and weighs around 45 kg (99 lbs)
- Li Qin is 166 cm (5'5") tall and weighs 43 kg (94.6 lbs)
- Song Zu'er is approximately 165 cm (5'4") tall and weighs around 43 kg (94.6 lbs)

I took all of these from google search and I copied and paste to above. There is always some give and take for any women but to say that Ester is extremely thin is inaccurate.

There is nothing weird about calling out an industry issue. It is much discussed and if people pretend it does not exist it will just continue to be inflicted upon the talent by showrunners and industry drivers.

I found Love Has Fireworks disappointing. It was billed as a romance first and it really underwhelmed in that department. Wang Chu Ran is very pretty but there is no passion and fire at all in the romance aspect of the drama. This is the 2nd romance drama of hers I have watched where the romance has been superficial and uninspiring. I would term the romance scenes "pedestrian".

There is a concentrated push against it by the anti Esther fans. It is just pure hate with no reason other than jealousy and anti-stanning in order to boost some other actress.

I am pretty shocked at the low number of subscribers to her youtube channel.

This is shaking out as a fine slice of life drama so far. I know the romance sub plot will eventually come into the fore front versus right now the 2 leads are still sparring mentally and verbally due to Wang Fa still believing Lin Wan Xing may be the instigator of his friends death.

I see the hate fans are still attempting to drag down the rating of the drama. So far the acting and writing for the drama are very good. If you are someone who perhaps found Esther's "cute" personae an issue in some past dramas (even though it was just acting to the direction and script) it is not a part of this drama. Ester is naturally "cute" but in this drama while cute she is all adult so far.

The rating is pure hockem. It is much better than a 7.8. The jealous Ester haters are already at it? They are at it on Douban as well - you can see a couple of the outright hate comments and the number of likes. Really disgusting.

Esther looks lovely in this drama. She has matured into a beautiful woman with a good face and figure rather than yet another almost skeletal actress with big hair, gaunt appearance and a seamless flat stick from the neck down.

Speed and Love is excellent. It is still to fresh for me to do a rewatch but one day it will happen.

It was only announced about 10 days ago that it was going to premier on July 5. Prior to that the release date had been a mystery. But in the last 10 days I have seen a lot of build up on various social media platforms.

If you had watched further into Ski Into Love the cutesy voice is gradually dropped. It is all upon direction by the director and script. Ski Into Love is a story of growth, development and maturing to more independence. That has been a hallmark of many of Esther's dramas - she starts out as young, unworldly and immature, and through the adventures of the drama exits a stronger, mature character.

Are the leads doing their own voice overs or are they voiced over by a voice actor? This is a determining factor for I viewing. I checked Baidu and Douban but the complete cast was not showing on either yet when i checked.

I was surprised The Moon Brightens For You starring Xing Fei (aka Fair Xing) and Yu Meng Long was not on this list. So I added it although they are likely at the bottom of the list. This was a really fine Wuxia drama in 2020 and a great pairing.

There are a lot of kdramas on this "cdrama only" list! I guess the list creator has abandoned the list.

This is an ok drama. Its pacing is a bit slow: I am at Ep 16 and am finding I have to fast forward a few points. As a non-Chinese viewer there are certain moments in the drama that stand out to me as being pure propaganda on behalf the state so I am assuming their is some state funding as part of the project financing.

I find the script a bit "thin". Although I don't disagree with some sentiments that it is following a fairly "natural" pacing I do find on some of the dramatic tension the writers have injected to be more wearisome instead of the intended "heightening" of drama tension. Lots of well worn tropes in play in this drama and it suffers because of it. There really is a lack of communications oriented dialog in the drama particularly for the leads and also her family interactions. The cousin was the one person whom the writing placed proper dialog from the outset. Everyone else it is "acting through silence" and really just left wondering why everyone is so obstinate if not stupid.

Yang Yang and Wang Chu Ran are ok but both roles are really interchangeable for any of many actors out there. Out of this drama I learned that Yang Yang is much smaller physically then I had perceived through my previously viewed historical dramas - I though he was well over 2m and in reality I think he is about 175-180cm (with shoes!). Wang Chu Ran was still an inexpensive actress at the time this drama went into production. Pretty and inexpensive is a winning combination for producers of mid-level dramas.

At 8.3 score on MDL at the time I write this comment the drama is to me over rated. It is about a 7.7-7.9 which is not by any means a poor score. To me over 8 should be for higher quality in the various aspects of a drama and not just based on stanning for one of the leads.

This is being released on July 5th! That was a surprise. Looking forward to this drama.

Totally agree with you. She is a fine actress. You have to wonder just how stupid some people are that they feel the personae she has in some dramas is not "scripted". An actress & actor perform according to how they are directed and the script. That's it!

It is just hate driven by jealousy.

Xing Fei won an acting award last week for her acting in the character Ning Su Su at the 6th New Era International Television Festival. And looked fantastic.

Here is a link to how she looked:

Just stunning. She is so beautiful.

I recently found out she actually trained as an acrobat in her youth and teens including attending a special sporting school in her teen years.

I really enjoyed this drama. It was one of the mainstay releases of that year. All the main leads did a fine job. The 2 lead reviews by WandereR and ChineseDramaFan capture everything that I think about the drama.

My only quibble is that all the main character voices - lead and supporting actors are all voice dubbed by voice actors. I really hate that aspect of cdrama although it was very, very common. I want the real deal, not someone else's voice when I watch something. It just takes away from the enjoyment knowing that what I am hearing is not the actor I am viewing.

Edit: I have read conflicting information about the voice acting. For example some websites indicate Xing Fei was voice acted by Lu Xi Ran but others indicate she did most of the voice over for her own part. The character voice sounds the same as in My Little Happiness which has no voice acting so I am wondering if perhaps she voiced most of her own role and the voice actor was used for minor replacements in the editing process?

Here is a quote from elsewhere:

"Xing Fei provided her voice for all her lines in the drama The Moon Brightens for You Xing Fei played the character Zhan Qinghong in the series. The drama is a Wuxia adaptation, showcasing her talent in both acting and voice performance. This comprehensive involvement highlights her dedication to the role and contributes to the overall quality of the production."

Thanks!

I agree. He must be a hater.
