Tis the season for high profile guest starring in C-drama lol. Just months after C-actress Zheng Hehuizi turned a cameo in In Blossom into a career launcher from supporting to upcoming leading lady roles, now comes Yang Chao Yue to do the same again and she may succeed. Yang Chao Yue has already been the leading lady of dramas but has been dogged by criticism of her terrible acting and her last drama was the highly promoted but big flop Love You Seven Times. Reportedly that drama’s flop and level of criticism towards her was so bad that even her backers lost interest in her and for the last year she has been unable to land the same level female leads. This weekend premiered the new C-drama The Double starring Wu Jin Yan and Wang Xing Yue and lo and behold Yang Chao Yue had a major guest starring role as the daughter of a powerful and rich official who dies unjustly but not before saving the life of the female lead, who then takes her identity to return to the capital to seek vengeance and right the wrongs done towards both of them. Yang Chao Yue is the OG to Wu Jing Yan’s titular Double, and her short screentime was quite impactful – she looked insanely gorgeous, the role was super sad, and her performance was alright. Nothing to write home about but not bad at all. I quite liked it and I don’t like her at all so whatever magic happened on this set I hope in the future she can bring the same.
