So the summer of 2023 was not nice to Yang Yang, going in with one of the most promoted C-dramas of the busy season and coming out with only complaints from viewers the Fireworks of My Heart. At least he’s been filming the upcoming xianxia C-drama A Record of a Mortal’s Guide to Immortality and perhaps can adjust his acting for the top complaint and he comes across as smarmy (oily) onscreen. The drama released the first lead posters this week and it’s so meh I can’t even critique it because like nothing is going on other than female lead Jin Chen‘s face being so frozen and overly photoshopped.
