So Zhang Ling He has also grown on me in currently airing visually sumptuous period drama My Journey to You, took me a bit what with his adorable large front teeth and chipmunk cheeks being a tad distracting initially. But his completely on point acting for the role of sweet, optimistic, and sheltered Gong Zi Yu is just the warm sunshine in a drama full of scorpions so it’s the perfect counter balance. Everyone always talks about how he’s the quintessential C-drama leading man even during his rookie year in 2020, super tall, athletic build, and almost perfect masculine yet good looking flower boy visuals but he was so green back then. In three years he’s really improved and I’m now more excited for Story of Kunning Place and his recently wrapped filming Si Hai Zhong Ming with Jing Tian. The latter from the recently released official character stills looks like a wuxia drama crossed with some xianxia costume brightness and more elaborate designs.
