@linda only a very rare percentage have perfect features. imposing such impossibly high standards to be deemed 'truly' good looking, those merely attractive people will be judged as not so good-looking and feel pressured to seek surgery.

@linda Kaneshiro Takeshi.

@msxie0714 you are DEFINITELY entitled to your opinion, and in NO way is my opinion superior to yours, but: 1) the people you gave are mostly in their 30s, people actually look quite a lot better when they are younger 2) even so, only Takeshi Kaneshiro is better looking IMO as the rest of the faces only look good in certain angles. I am a HUGE HUGE fan of Vengo Gao, but even he looks awkward in certain angles. Only faces that are 零死角 can be considered truly good looking imo

@linda Wu is more handsome than 95% of Asian-American male stars, but there are PLENTY who are even more handsome than Wu: Hu Ge, Yan Yikuan, Jin Dong, Zhu Yilong, Zhang Binbin, Vengo Gao, Wang Kai, Zhang Bo....to name just a few from China. Not to forget Takeshi Kaneshiro, Chen Bolin

But Daniel Wu is more handsome than 95% of all Asian male stars... try naming a 40-something male star that looks better than him? Can’t think of one

Wow, this is interesting! I would like to watch!

He sounds... a bit... controlling...

@linda the crappy part about watching Chinese dramas and you can tell exactly where the censorship happens

Happy that she’s getting these opportunities in China. TVB dramas’ standards have been deteriorating, so I guess China’s productions which have higher standards suit her more since she’s already very successful and she can reach new heights in her career

Sun Li was really great in that role, why are they trying to surpass that when it’s only been 7 years? I can understand if producers try to tell the same story but in a different manner to relate to a new generation. But 7 years? That’s not long enough for a generation to grow/change, especially since this is an ancient drama and not a modern drama whereby it needs to be more “current” to be in line with modern thinking and themes such as feminism, etc. to stay relevant with the 2019 audience It’s an ancient drama, how much can it change in 7 years?! Would appreciate if they can spend more money creating new stories

@linda Asian-americans are accepting of natural skin color while Asians prefer the white-skin, big-eyes, sharp chin beauty standard.

@linda the thing about Ariel is that she can be quite sexy, she know how to kiss, maybe because she has such thick lips, it’s aluring?! AB on the other hand can’t kiss at all lol. Her kissing is like that of a dead fish slap on the actor’s lips, quite uncomfortable to watch xD

@linda Anyway, she looks way better in ancient dramas than in modern dramas. She looked the best IMO in Tian Wai Fei Xian (Little Fairy) because she was younger there (AND in ancient costume)

After reading the comments, I can say I’m pretty shocked LOL. I guess beauty standards *really* differ between asians living in the US (which I boldly, But Carelessly, assume that most readers of jaynestars fall in this category) and asians living in an asian country (me) I always thought Ariel Lin is extremely pretty, but Angelababy is boring-pretty (meaning I can tell that she is physically pretty but not my cup of tea). I also know of a lot of guys who consider Ariel Lin their female celebrity crush, but haven’t heard of Angelababy as a guy’s choice. It’s really interesting how different societies alter our perception of beauty, huh?

@linda I agree with you that having a personal assistance to do those things is fine. However, AB is not hard working :/ not good attitude, her acting is still suck, if she’s that hard working, she would/should improve her acting (look at Charmaine, she was so bad at the beginning but after the criticism, she works hard and now a lot better). AB can’t even do still photographs well let alone acting! (Check out her latest magazine photos!) So efficiency is not it lol. Could just be that she’s used to be a model, model do have people fix their shoes for them because they couldn’t bend/do it correctly, so it’s a habit that she’s used to and doesn’t want to change.

@linda gotta state I am not an Angelababy fan

Please don’t be lame, it is most likely just a matter of efficiency. Although her acting isn’t good, but obviously to be a huge star in such a big competitive market such as China, you gotta be hardworking. Looks only bring you this far, everyone is good-looking, you still gotta be hardworking and have a good attitude. If they hire this many people to help with the grooming and stuff, it would be rude for the star to do everything herself and not let anyone help her. Those hired people would seem so useless!

@linda Ironically, I disliked Sisley and liked Grace after the pageant. I thought Sisley was kind of c* in her interview of the pageant. I guess that's why she received so much backlash since the beginning of her career. But then through a more detailed observation of her interviews and shows, I can see that she's very sensible. She's also very hardworking and gets along well with her co-stars but she keeps getting cursed with negative news with her male costars. On the other hand, Grace has been fed endless praises for her beauty since the her crowning of MHK, and she seems unnatural having to always keep her goody two shoes image. Doesn't she ever get tired of smiling that big 24/7 even when there's nothing to be happy about?

@sugadough I don’t like her. I have tried to like her by following her Instagram, watching her IG stories, and reading her captions, because my sister (& best friend <3) REALLY likes her, but still I cannot bring myself to like her. I think it is because she comes off as unnatural to me. No other deeper reason unfortunately... I like Grace Chan and all other TVB stars. There’s no Chinese stars I dislike as well. Hence, she is the only one I dislike. However, a job well done is a job well done. This achievement should gain respect of everybody. I definitely cannot do this myself!!!

@davy they actually share the same birthday & same year. But when the last remake was filmed in 2012, the lady was around 23-24 years old. Janice Man, on the other hand, will be around 30 years old if they film this version in 2018/2019.
