View Comments

• The quality looks really nice, it's gonna be awhile before this drama airs but I will give it a few episodes chance.

• Is she using that obnoxious voice in it?
  No - will check it out.
  Yes - not if you paid me.

• The problem with her is that on top of bad acting, she’s just over the top with the pouting and acting cutesy ALL the time. What kills me the most though is her Disney Princess on crack voice that burns my ears. But she thinks she’s so good she doesn’t need to be dubbed and no one has the guts to tell her no because money talks (loudly).

  • Money always talks in cent. It will push a talentless hack ahead of the most talented person ever a good 99 out of 100 times.

    These types of capital games are the downfall of Chinese entertainment. It is not that they are somehow less talented in producing or writing or acting than idk, say Korea. It is that meritocracy almost doesn't exist.

  • My thought exactly.

    Hopefully she has a better character in this drama.

    Btw who is the 2nd ML?

  • I feel like she does have a little bit of talent, but it doesn't get developed properly because no one, including herself, is interested in developing it. She's rich, popular, charismatic, and getting richer and more popular without having to really change anything. There is no drive to improve.

    I don't mind the characteristics of acting cute all the time or Disney Princess on crack voices or even bad acting, but when you put it all together, it makes her voice and acting hard to listen to and watch. I think she's fun as a variety type figure though where her over-the-topness is charming.

  • The reason why she dubs her own characters is because her standard Mandarin is good. She enunciates clearly so even without subtitles Chinese speakers are able to understand her clearly. She doesn't have an accent and her voice suits her characters.

• This looks cool.

• The posters look stunning.

• I don't find her acting bad at all. In fact, from all the dramas I've seen her in, her acting is quite natural. Maybe it's because her roles have been pretty similar to her real life characteristics, but she makes what can be seen as overly dramatic actions if done by other people fit naturally in her dramas (if that makes any sense).

• YSX is extremely under rated as an actress. Her voice isn’t even half as annoying as people make it out to be. She always manages to make her characters far more interesting than they are on paper. Both Moonlight and LBFAD were brilliantly acted by her and she carried the nuances of the characters perfectly. I’m loving this new role for her and knowing she’s a hard worker with a good eye for scripts we can look forward to her picking more diverse and interesting projects and characters.

  • If people find her voice annoying you can't say her voice is not as annoying as people say. Who are you to judge how it makes them feel. I
    will never watch anything with her until she drops that voice because it is like someone is scraping nails on a chalkboard for me.

    Her natural voice? It is wonderful. Whoever told her to use this fake disaster did a horrible disservice to her career.

    • Her fake squeaky voice is very annoying. I've never been able to watch any dramas she's in because of her annoying voice. Can't pay me enough to watch her because of it

  • her voice is annoying for god sake.

• So koala , u didn't watch LBFD? It was good

• She has never really shown any acting outside of her typical cutesy roles. She and Dylan Wang were terrible in that Fairy and Devil drama. BUT, I don't find her voice that annoying and she can be charming at times. Looking at the posters, this character might be different from her usual ones so perhaps she will show more range here.

  With regards to dubbing, the regulations are such that actors now need to dub themselves or pay out of their own pockets for the voice actors. I'm sure there are ways to get around it, but the general opinion is to push for everyone to use their own voices and the bad ones - think Dylan Wang and Xu Kai - to get more scrutiny and hopefully improve (or flop).

• I've seen her in other dramas and I think she can act. Yeah it's her natural voice but also she amps up the cutesy sound for certain dramas. But the dark side looks good on her. I'm here for the change.

  • It is not her natural voice. Her natural voice is lovely. Google it, there are several videos of her speaking normally and it is about a million times better than what she uses on purpose in dramas.
