ok but this is the brilliance of this fucking actor. (The character is Xue
Yang, played by Wang Haoxuan.) He turns up, a minor villain, and is
Unhinged and Pretty and i’m like okay he’s not, well, i get it. cute. okay
fine. and you just sort of think, he’s not a super gifted actor right? or
at least, he’s not being given a lot to work with, so he’s just chewing
scenery and it’s cute and it’s fine, this is sort of a soap opera, he fits
in great, you’re so cute u little maniac, have fun. Like elsewhere in this
series there’s some great acting and some nuance and all but this guy is
just like. he’s just there to up the stakes. that’s fine, i’m here for this
ride, i enjoy the scenery.
then
then the shit happens
and like oh my god, oh my god, oh my god he is so consistent and he’s still
chewing the scenery but like there’s layers to it and you’re like oh my
god i am weeping for this cute little maniac anyway this character is
genius, this actor is genius, this show is genius, this is an incredible
performance, because you really think you’re getting a one-dimensional kind
of unhinged pretty villain and then he just goes for it, it’s truly
incredible
