Comments started to flood Director Peng's post.
[This is insane—she had NO LINES and still told an entire story???]
[I got chills. Look at her eyes. The microexpressions. The tension in her hands. It's perfect.]
[THIS is why she's Chen Lin. She doesn't play the role—she becomes the role.]
[Imagine rejecting the FL role just because she felt Yan Li suited her more. That's a different level of dedication.]
[I can't believe she was originally offered the female lead but fought to be Yan Li instead. RESPECT.]
[She got an unplanned scene thrown at her and STILL nailed it? That's real talent.]
[Even the director and producers are basically simping for her acting skills. I'd be too.]
[At this point, I'm watching this drama for Yan Li. The leads? Yeah, okay. But CHEN LIN?]
[Forget the scandals. This is the real Chen Lin.]
