View Comments

• Why are people still dissatisfied with Ren Min’s looks? Plastic surgery has done wonders for her looks right now. She looks so much better now as compared to the past. She better not bow down to pressure and do more plastic surgery coz she’s gon end up looking too plastic and fake. This right now is just nice

  • Nah ,she didnt any PS , the part CN always insult her with is her BIG NOSE the and she still have the same nose ,you can see in the pics that she has large base nose a typical asian nose ,I dont find it unattractive but the slim small nose is popular type of nose CN prefer

• I think she's cute. *shrugs*

• No wonder so many artiste go under the knife...willing or unwilling, as long as they want to be a popular actress, they have to go under the knife. But after doing PS, they get called plastic... Honestly, this is a sh*tty practise.
  Ren Min is a good actress...she does not deserve to be treated like so.

• She already did plastic surgery and she looks much better now. Tbh, it's a sum game in the end. If it is better for her mental health just forget about costumes and concentrate on modern dramas. She looks way better in these and I have never seen complaints about it. Plus it's far better writing anyway.

• It’s the hair, she has the type of facial structure that needs hair to frame her face. I think she looks really pretty in modern styles but in period dramas, without the right hairstyle to frame her face, her flaws are highlighted. However I think that her face shape is also the type that ages well? people will probably start praising her looks when she reaches her 30s/40s. Also I don’t think people criticised her looks in white cat legend, but the current republic era drama where she’s the main lead. Unfortunately she really doesn’t look good in that show ( only seen the stills though).She looks fine in white cat legend.

  • Exactly some of these faces ages so well, it such a shame that there is this obsession with a certain particular face structure in k ent and c ent .

  • People did criticise her looks when White Cat Legend first came out. But her fans / the show's fans were quick to clarify she was not the female lead and was just a guest actor, and therefore doesn't deserve the criticism.

• It's the makeup too. Her outfit is like really vibrant, but her makeup looks dull and pale in comparison.

  • I think so too. She looked excessively pale with that unflattering makeup, or perhaps filters did a great disservice to her.

    • It's hard to tell since these are just pics. I'd want to see the live clips before making a final decisions, but I'm too lazy to search for it.

• I always find she's pretty. Probably her face is my type. She looks natural despite some might think she has gone under the knife. She still has her baby cheeks, she just need to hide them with her long hair. But she's pretty, really.

  I found RM prettier than JJY's current face in In Blossom. She looked prettier before. But still pretty but probably just not my preference. Both are pretty in their own ways.

  Everything you need to be pretty is MONEY. Those netizen probably cant afford it thus they hate on others.

• This so weird,I find her so pretty and cute and love her voice too ,lore importantly ,the girl can act,ppl just cant let it go, one bad role and it will haunt you for ur life

• She looked really good in White Cat Legend so I'm not sure what the brouhaha is about. She did look quite bad in The Longest Promise so I get the criticism there, but it may be that she looks better in some angles and with some hairstyles more than others.

  • I think the hairstyle was the major problem in The Longest Promise!

• I am surprised to learn she had PS. She looks natural. I get it if people can’t accept her looks for Xianxia dramas but it doesn’t make sense for period dramas. I would think she’s more representative of how most people look. She looks more real and natural. I don’t think the exquisite ethereal look was common those days since they didn’t have plastic surgery then. That’s why it was so celebrated. Now it’s become so common in the entertainment business that they are all beginning to look like clones and mannequins.
  I liked her a lot in the Song Dynasty drama where she plays the princess who falls in love with her childhood companion/attendant enuch. She’s married off to a relative of the emperor. Later I found out that the drama was based on true events and her husband was an accomplished artist and one of his ink paintings can be viewed at the Boston museum!

  • Period female leads are rarely ordinary people so it doesn't make sense to require them to have ordinary looks, IMO.

    I'm also surprised to learn she had PS - wonder why she didn't go all the way and have the nose bridge raised (which is what throws us off since we're so used to seeing plastic Korean and Chinese celebrities) if she was willing to have work done.

  • I think the expectation for xianxia is also crazy. Everyone's perception of who is beautiful enough is always different. Liu Yifei is called "fairy sister" but tons of people think she's not that pretty. Also, not all female lead characters are described with extraordinary beauty, but people still complain. Ren Min can play period characters. I thought she looked fine in Serenade of Peaceful Joy.

    I agree with you that a lot are starting to look like mannequins. It's scary for me to look at some of them on screen, so I tend to skip those dramas.
