Zhao Li Ying Gets Criticism for Dubbed Voice in Upcoming C-drama The Legend of Shen Li

So I feel like we can’t have nice things and just try to enjoy it. If C-drama The Legend of Shen Li turns out to suck I’ll totally say so, but so far the promos have looked good but the first wave of criticism is here. This week Tencent released the first big preview since announcing the premiere date, and unlike the teaser released six months ago this preview has Zhao Li Ying dubbed. Reportedly Zhao Li Ying recorded all her own dialogue on her own dime in the studio to dub this herself but the production ended up going with the professional voice dubber, which I find the wrong choice because the voice doesn’t match Zhao Li Ying at all. But it’s not a decision she can make so I don’t know why the criticism on her that an actress at her level needs to not be dubbed. I’m just going to ignore the chatter and wait for this drama to arrive next Monday and decide for myself yay or nay.
