Is this the gay necromancer? He doesn’t look like he gets a lot of sunlight.

[(Anonymous)]

Nah, it's the gay necromancer's boyfriend

YMMV but I always find it so strange when people praise the dude's acting in this because I couldn't get over how this guy wasn't allowed to move his face while everyone else emoted like regular human beings. It was weird as hell.

[(Anonymous)]

That's the acting that everyone is praising--that he was able to convey all of the emotions (and even various ages of the same character) with minimal movement.

[(Anonymous)]

It kinda went with the character, who was extremely reserved and emotionally rather cold.

Honestly, I had a similar reaction to the first few eps. "He has a face like a dead fish," is, I think, what I was saying to myself.

Then I tried the drama again, and got a little further through the story, and then realised I was completely glued to his micro-expressions.

And I still don't know if his acting improved or if I started paying more attention or what.

Wang Yibo (the actor who played Lan Wangji) has mentioned that he struggled a lot with how to play his character and thinks that he didn't really do as good of a job in the earlier episodes. But after further discussion with the director, he got a better understanding about the character (and presumably, was given tips on using micro expressions) and tried to improve. I've watched the show multiple times now and while I think part of it was getting used to Lan Wangji's very remote, detached demeanor, Wang Yibo definitely gets more comfortable in the role as he goes on.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh, that's interesting to know.

In any case, I hope he does well in his future career.

[(Anonymous)]

but what are the 'earlier' episodes cos nobody shoots anything in chronological order. Those scenes are probably in the middle or towards the end.

[(Anonymous)]

He got shitty direction. Honestly if you had a character described as "outwardly cold but with deep subtle emotions" and your notes to your actor is "literally don't move your facial muscles", you're a hack.
