![]() ![]() Not everything new is good and not everything old is good. It's because there's always something new school to check out. I got into Chinese dramas for a long time but I've become a stranger to it. ![]() I'm Chinese by descent but I'm considered Filipino. Right now, I just do feel like a fish out of water. Sorry but I still feel that way even if she does deliver her piece. I feel Pinna is pretty much out-of-place with the casting. I mean, some Chinese beauties are beautiful and pale-skinned while others have a mix of East and West. I do feel the same thing for Vicki Zhao's involvement in Wuxia series because she has very mestiza features for a Chinese girl. ![]() It's the same way that I feel that Rin's actress in Gosei Sentai Dairanger (Natsuki Takahashi) was a beautiful fish out of water due to her having Caucasian features. Sure, some Chinese celebrities today are incredibly beautiful due to the East/West blending but Sandrine's Western features float out too much. She's a half-French beauty (father side) and her in a Wuxia drama feels out of place. Sometimes, I do feel like the lovely Sandrine Pinna (who got married six years ago to musician Ji Jia Song) feels out of place. Watching the first few episodes makes me see how Wang Lu must overcome his arrogance in order to develop. It's not like the typical goody-goody guy since for every good guy - there's always a bad guy underneath them. What makes it fun to watch is when we see overconfident and arrogant protagonists slowly develop away from their weaknesses. Not everyone starts out right, right? I was thinking of how Xu Kai's character as Wang Lu is a young genius who must overcome is arrogance and shamelessness. I think about the whole atypical hero thing. She is innocent and naive but is extremely skilled in cultivation.
