The discussion of the two Chinese Paladin drama adaptations airing at the same time and both flopping with CP4 Sword and Fairy 4 and CP6 Sword and Fairy at least has two different casts. Unfortunately for C-actress Song Yi Ren (Irene Song) she has two dramas that premiered at the same time with period time-travel drama A Different Princess airing first then a few days late the modern romance drama My Perfect Girl dropping and unfortunately for her both are duds. Unlike the higher budget two CP dramas, at least her two dramas are both relatively small budget streaming only dramas intended to just some make money but no one on the production team expected much anyways. The same thing happened to her last year with The Inextricable Destiny, also small budget and came and went without much notice. She was supposed to breakout with Ever Night and never did, same gen C-actress Tian Xi Wei has seen her star rise in one direction to likely top billing her next big budget drama. I can’t say I disagree with how the drama fates have panned out, I do not get Song Yi Ren’s appeal whatsoever, she’s not a bad actress, she’s got a cute appeal, but she always comes across like a teen trying to play an adult and I can’t get into her characters or romances.
