So the first few episodes I felt like YangZi understands the art of rom com better and was pulling Xiao Zhan like a tug of war of acting. But Xiao Zhan is so good with the subtle and really powerful emotions that I realized it takes getting to those scenes for him to really blossom out. Does he make the other actors better? Yes. Even YangZi. The scenes with her father and mother are especially powerful.

He is not the typical male actor and so dont judge him against those like XuchaiCheng. His ability to emote is heartwrenching. I hope he continues to improve English and comes to Hollywood to do a big box movie one day.
