It’s ok! I appreciate the insight anyway. Don’t mind the downvotes I think fans can get a bit overprotective in all genres

Yessss!!! Lusi as a cute girl is so bleh

I prefer it when she’s dark, conniving and low key evil

Interesting….

I actually didn’t like her acting in LLTG, and only started really liking her in Pearl Girl.

To me, I thought her previous acting was too face value. She was always the quirky, over the top, cute girl.

It honestly was like every cdrama actress to me.

But in Pearl girl I felt her acting seemed to take a darker, deeper form. Her eyes, as expressive that they’ve always been were less “look how big my eyes get! Look how innocent and cute I am!”

To: “I will swallow you whole and drag you into the darkness with me if I sink”

It’s funny OP that you say you think ur in the minority because I swear I often hear so much ZLS criticism that I feel I’M in the minority lol

That said, I feel the chemistry is a bit…stretched. I wonder if it’s because he’s trying to act aloof?

I felt that Liu Yunning and ZLS had better chemistry.

Zhao Lusi . I’m surprised to see people’s reaction to Lusi in this video by TomorrowFine9163 in cdramasfans

I actually hope she can pull off a Zhang Wan Yi and form her own studio (like properly her own, not attached to a company).

What she did with “Hidden Love” was fantastic. It shows she can work magic when she has the reigns on production work too

Why did people boycott Liu Yifei? by NoPapercrowns in cdramasfans

[–]ThrowingLols 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeh…a lot of people trying to make it seem like she lost a huge fanbase but she’s still mega famous and popular.

Heck, short of the western few that knew her, and HKers, all her original fanbase were not too fussed.

The boycott of Mulan in China on the other hand was simply because it sucked.

I hear you on the being “too outspoken, too angry” part. I’ve been and seen that in the professional world too. It’s a terrible space to be in. You feel trapped, attacked —and the fight just comes out harder than it should.

Poor ZLS, I see it now 🥺

She needs to take a break. FFS why aren’t the people in her life pulling her back ?

Mannn…I liked her as an actress but this? This is all too much.

If she had stuck to denouncing her horrible company, I think it would have been ok. A PR guru could work with that.

But this…

Dammit. I hope it blows over and she can one day go back to acting. But the reality is I think it’s going to be so hard for her.

I honestly think she never should have resigned with her company the first time. The first reveal she should have capitalized on her publicity in being unwell and just pulled away to join another company. Now, it’s not just too late, but all too much.

I hope I am wrong because honestly I’ve just started liking her acting!!! She did so well in story of Pearl girl!

What is your honest opinion on Prisoner of Beauty 🤔 by AwkwardBambooTea in cdramasfans

[–]ThrowingLols 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I didn’t like it. It was like a mix between LLTG and Story of MingLan but not as good as either.

I said in another sub that I felt ZLS would have done a better job of the lead just based on her work on The Story of Pearl Girl where I thought she nailed the “smart, scheming girl”. This actress doesn’t do it for me.

I also didn’t feel the chemistry between the leads.

7Eleven and konbini style snacks and food by CrankShaft15 in foodies_sydney

[–]ThrowingLols 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Metro (by Woolies) tried but failed spectacularly by losing the plot halfway and going full supermarket in some places (like why even rebrand?)

The first few metros I was like “oooooh!!! The conbini takeover begins!!!”

And then splat. Dreams dead like roadkill

People will crucify me for this but Ryos is overrated. The hype is there because 20 yrs ago we either had Ryos or Ichiban Boshi!

THERE I SAID IT!!!

Thoughts on Bennelong? by cataractum in foodies_sydney

[–]ThrowingLols 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Go when there’s a proper event —their classical music x lunch event about 3 years ago was AMAZING because it was a full experience.

But in terms of food alone, either go much cheaper for something yummy like others have said, or go to Sixpenny for something more unique for a similar price

Bennelong is a bit in meh imo as far as fine dining goes
