So it’s official teaser time for modern C-drama Love’s Ambition with Zhao Lu Si and William Chan. I swear this drama just finished filming in my recollection but the first preview is here now so I gamely checked it out despite being so meh on the male lead despite his very long career and starring with many an actress I like. Sadly this drama looks to be a pass for me on the substance alone, it feels so sleek and shallow and both leads look plastic in how posed and airbrushed to the nth degree. I also don’t like the story with the mutual using each other and then really falling in love angle. Thankfully if I ever need a Zhao Lu Si fix I can watch Love Like the Galaxy, a near perfect drama that I still rewatch anytime I feel like it.
Teaser for Love’s Ambition:
So their relationship starts innocent and then the evil intentions arise but is this a revenge and slap drama. I guess people will watch for the dramatic elements but But unless this genre is done with an interesting twist it is all the same. The acting of hers seems trying to be more mature
It looks awful. They look like they are desperately trying to pull off some sort of sophistication but all it does is make them look like emotionless mannequins.
Hard pass.

Sorry but lusi played little girl roles way too many times so I cannot take her seriously as a woman. She is gonna need to convince me with her acting. I mean like her in love galaxy but that role was fitted for her but here we’ll have to see…
And William Chan? Not a fan of his acting sorry
I always give Lu Si a chance. She has only lost me once in all her dramas. I can’t wait to see her do something out of her usual box. It looks just the type of CEO drama I enjoy.
I saw the trailer and from what I saw the acting looks so fake and try-hard to the point they look like robot ?!
The entire trailer just feels like alot of posing and showing off clothes. The characters seem so pretentious.
Am I the only one who excited for the drama? Lusi gives matured vibe like she supposed to. Not WC fan. But I always thought his acting is decent at least. So will try to watch it
I’m excited too. 🫠 I’m looking forward to it. My sisters overseas are too.
A bunch of tencent dramas released trailers yesterday. Out of them all, only 3 made me look forward to their release – Moonlit Reunion, Love on the Turquoise Land, and Love Game in Eastern Fantasy. The rest look meh.
I feel the trailer was poorly done, I get they wanted to keep the suspense but this is not it, anyway I will check this out when it airs, it has to more than this less 2 min trailer, which was just poses and kisses 😆
Sorry but Korean dramas win in this genre , Chinese cant not because of censorship rules they cant not make the leads immorally corrupted , they will have to come up with excuses of every mistakes they made which will make the whole drama pointless and ridiculous.
Dont get ur hopes up folks
I normally really like lusi’s voice, but in here I think her voice does her a disservice. It’s too young and childish to fit the profile of a professional polished woman. I think she would do so much better in a scheming role if she were to play a “green tea” character. Act innocent and kind in front of others, but she can be cunning and manipulative once the facade drops. She’s done this kind of role before, but not as main character.
With all that said, I’ll still catch this one. Gotta support her!
Agree with you the plot is interesting to me and i’m gonna watch it but her biggest weakness is her voice. If she wants to level up she needs extensive training because her voice is quite high pitched it may not match her roles. I dislike YSX in most of her dramas but she did well in changing her voice in MJTY, i’ve heard she got a voice dubbing certificate, looks like its her choice using her super annoying voice when she can do it differently.
Well, I’m still a fan of YSX’s voice despite all the criticism about it haha. I guess I just like childish voices in general. But it has to be a specific type of childish voice and it has to fit a character. People complained about YSX’s baby voice as an orchid fairy in LBFAD, but it fit her character, so I didn’t see the fuss. If you put a childish voice on a sophisticated woman like ZLS here (not on purpose, that’s just her voice in general), then the disparity is very pronounced. People don’t differentiate between whether a voice fits a character and simply that the voice is grating to the ears, which is a personal preference so I don’t know what to say.
For example, people say they can only stand Bailu’s type of “cute,” which I really wonder if it’s her acting they like or if it’s her voice which they like. Because to me, when she first started, she sounded like a man. To this day her voice is a lower tone than a lot of women, so she’s a tenor and that’s rarer I suppose. And it’s hard to be “cute” as a tenor, which is why it’s reflected that she doesn’t try to “act cute.”
The ML turned me off. Pass!
🤣
I’m willing to give it a shot for sure, Lusi usually delivers so will see how this goes. I’m not too sure about the ML, something about his face is distracting me
