The Emotions Portrayed

The plot is amazing no doubt but it's the cast who have my heart especially Cheng Yi. I am watching his drama for the first time and the way his eyes tell his emotions is so impressive. Qi Yan has felt so much throughout the drama, love, desperation, powerful, wrecked. Cheng Yi managed to portray everything without leaving a single stone unturned. It feels as if he studied his character for years. Nothing but impressed.
At first I thought that the director has picked a very weak looking King. As kings have been glorified everytime we study history. But the more I understand Qi Yan the more I fall in love with how beautifully and meticulously Cheng Yi portrays him. The way his eyes sparkle when portraying victory or love. The way his eyes stoop down in a depressive scene. No one could have done a better job for this role. I realised that I might have found my favorite Chinese actor now.
