China’s Government Newspaper Comes Out to Criticize the Pretty Boy Version of a General in the Way Zhang Ling He was Portrayed in C-drama Pursuit of Jade
The controversy over Zhang Ling He looking too pretty as the General in C-drama Pursuit of Jade is unfortunately for him not dying down. Beyond fellow actor Peter Ho getting unexpected good popularity in comparison, the mocking of Zhang Ling He as the “General Who Wears Foundation” is getting bigger in C-ent social media with memes proliferating. The government newspaper has also spoken with an op ed criticizing the way television shows sideline authenticity for pretty visuals, oooph what a full slap on the face towards the production team of PoJ. Zhang Ling He’s side is also doing no favors by trying to downplay the backlash rather than addressing it with the usual contrition and acceptance of the criticism. What a bummer for him and for the drama which started off so strong and is now ending with controversy and falling Douban ratings as well.
Good !!free PR for this drama who is doing well on three platforms. Douban rating is a scam anyway.
This is just negative vitality to make a popular drama even more popular because everyone knows nobody is watching Cdrama for authentic portrayals of characters. We are all here for the pretty. TXW as a pig butcher is equally unbelievable with her petite frame. International communities are still raving about the drama so it’s a win for them and Netflix.
It’s being dragged everywhere in China. Everyone is pissed off about insane watering.
You zlh insane fans only made it worse with your behavior.
Wake up and quit dreaming.
How about Chen Fei Yu in Love Beyond the Grave? This drama is terrible especially the cgi and the fl ml hair style? I try to watch but then skip. I dont understand the plot and the story.
It’s just a drama. It’s not a world politics. Don’t understand why the government has to make a comment.
As long as ZLH is pretty then I’m all for it! Plus the story is good so it’s a win.
