In 23 years, the heroines of Xianxia dramas take inventory of Bailu, Yan...

Immortal dramas have always been the most popular and popular subject matter, and ever since works such as Immortal Sword, Flower and Bone and Three Lives and Three Worlds began, many young actors and actresses have been vying to star in immortal dramas in the hopes of garnering greater attention.

In addition to 85 peanuts such as Hu Ge, Yang Mi and Zhao Liying, who relied on immortal dramas to hit the big time in recent years, Yang Zi, Cheng Yi, Dili Jeba, Wang He Di and Yu Shuxin have also gained a huge boost in attention for their roles in immortal dramas.

In recent years, people have thrown themselves into filming immortal themes, ushering in the era of Immortality 101. Since the beginning of 2023, seven or eight immortal dramas have been aired. However, even in the immortal and chivalrous genre, it has become very difficult to portray the male and female protagonists that sparked the drama.

Although it is often said that fairy idol dramas do not require much acting skill, as long as they have face value, it is also quite difficult to excel in playing the female lead of a fairy drama and not be subjected to mockery and criticism. Several actresses staged this year have had a series of problems pointed out by netizens to a greater or lesser extent.

Yang Beyond's Heavy Purple

As good as her appearance is, the younger sister of Beyond has always been questioned about her acting skills. However, in "Heavy Purple", Yang Beyond's performance was actually not bad, as she acted very naturally in her role as a lively, cute and childish character, and could be said to be quite agile.

However, the plot can't remain cute and innocent forever, and immortal dramas must enact sadistic plots, and this kind of emotional drama and the protagonist's blackening into a demoness is a great test of acting skills. In these aspects, the acting skills of the beyond sister still have room for improvement.

Yang Beyond's Magic Violet was once criticized because of her clothes and makeup, but she herself has not blackened out and still maintains a doll face, and her interpretation of Magic Violet's milky ferocity is a bit comical.

Li Randi's Star Falls into Candy

Li Randi has always had excellent face value and acting skills, perfect in acting modern dramas, but in immortal dramas was criticized for having a big face. In fact, this is not the fault of the viewers because it is widely believed that both male and female leads in fairy dramas should be very slim because only when they are skinny can they show the feeling of immortality, and we are not quite used to fat fairies.

Randy Li is a slim but broad-boned person, and her face is also rounded, giving her an atmospheric feeling and not as sharp and thin as a cone. Together with the slightly stocky Chen Xingxu, the two of them looked sturdy and unfairy.

The Long Moon Ashes Ming is White Deer

'Long Moon Ashes Ming' scored a breakout hit statistically, but had a limited bonus effect on the male and female leads. During the broadcast of the drama, viewers paid more attention to the face value of the male and female protagonists and the discussion of the second female lead, while there was relatively little discussion of the plot.

Bai Deer's acting and appearance are excellent, but paired with Luo Yunxi, he is too thin, which highlights the heroine is a bit fat ah, lack of couple feeling, but more like a sister relationship.

Ren Min in Jade Bone Remote

Ren Min's image in Jade Bone Remote is not very good, and she is jokingly called "Piggy Man", which is not comparable to the image of the little fairy. The male lead is Xiao Zhan, who has a very high face value, and this pairing makes people lose interest in following the drama completely. Tencent even began to give her image treatment due to the ridicule of her face value.

She excels in youthful pain literature, showing a sense of youth and strength, but in fairy dramas it's plain and ordinary, with no fairy-like aura.

Zhou also acted in Protecting the Heart, and Jingyi in Flower Rong.

I haven't watched much of Protecting the Heart and Flower Rong, but the female leads are still good looking, it's just that their acting is a bit childish, a bit like elementary school kids. Jingyi's costume look in both dramas is basically the same, nothing new, heavy bangs, thick eyebrows and big, bright kazarian eyes.

Yang Ying "Dust Bound

Yang Ying's image in the public mind is that of a red carpet star, leaving a beautiful and moving impression every time she walks on the red carpet. However, in theater productions, she often plays the role of a flower vase, responsible only for the beauty of her appearance without paying attention to the plot development of her character. Especially her smiling expression, no matter what the plot is, the lower half of her face always stays smiling, making the audience feel unreal.
