Zeng's skillful use of "the feminine gaze"

Oh no, what? The whole 'turn them into stick insects' is sickening. From humans to anime characters. You know #ChengLei has been altered? His sweet natural appearance can be seen in #AFamiliarStranger. Fans try to say weight loss, aging, make up, lighting. Rubbish. Much of what made #ZhaoLusi ill.

Can I just say #PursuitofJade is FABULOUS. 🥰The best Cdrama to come along for some time. Wish #ChengLei could star in a production of this high value. Unpopular opinion: the series he has been given, despite strength of #AFamiliarStranger, are light on plot, character depth & gravitas.

The project is helmed by Director #ZengQingjie, known for cdramas such as #Blossom and #AFamiliarStranger.

been kind of a quiet day today
in the morning i spent time emptying out the garden
all that's left now are the carrots, squash and watermelon
then this afternoon, i lurked in a twitch stream
and now, i'm doing a re-watch of #AFamiliarStranger

CORRECTION: #TianXiWei not in #AFamiliarStranger. And no, I don't think she looks like #KeYing. It was #NewLifeBegins I last (and only ever) saw her in, ages ago, and thus was delighted to see her again. Wonderful actress.

Ke Ying is the FL in #AFamiliarStranger - they look a tiny bit similar though I guess

Ke Ying was recently in #PerfectMatch

Meanwhile, #MoonlitReunion 😍. Remember adorable Tian Xi Wei, FL to Cheng Lei's ML in #AFamiliarStranger? She's knocking it out of the park in this fantasy drama recommended to all cat lovers. #XuKai is his usual single-expression act (like many beautiful Cdrama actors, trades chiefly on looks).

the sisters talk and the truth comes out

ENDING SPOILERS for #afamiliarstranger

the actresses were so convincing but we didn't have enough time w/ the sisters... tons of flashbacks for the FL/ML but none with the FL and her sister and i think it undermined the ending

how can we mourn a relationship we were never attached to?

baby cheng lei as the general in a familiar stranger

cheng lei in legend of the female general

also, it's very cool to see a baby cheng lei in this!! the it factor is there but you can also see how far he's come compared to #legendofthefemalegeneral where you can't take your eyes off him for a minute

either way, those bedroom eyes are working over time 😍

#cdrama #afamiliarstranger

prince ning who can't recognize that he's been with his lover all along

the general, who loves and recognizes shi qi even though she bears shen qin's face

spoilers for #afamiliarstranger

there's something really affecting seeing the contrast between the general and prince ning. one recognizes his lover even tho everything abt her is different. the other can't see past appearances or even acknowledge his lover when her identity is revealed

#cdrama

leads ke ying and cheng lei kiss-baiting us in #afamiliarstranger

ke ying and cheng lei with maybe the steamiest scene i've seen in cdramas in a long time LMAO

watching #afamiliarstranger due to legend of the female general withdrawal...

this is like soap operas on crack, i'm low key loving it how pulpy and indulgent it is!!!

low budget AF, but it's gripping and sexy... there's no way big budget dramas would get away with this nowadays

#cdrama

I’m so glad to see #ChengLei in a big budget lead role as he definitely can carry a #cdrama. He caught my eye with #AFamiliarStranger.

Lol he's great at racy scenes. See #AFamiliarStranger.

If you want a shorter one he's great in #AFamiliarStranger.

Watched the trailer. All romance & no sign of her being a general lol. Love the two leads! ML is one of my fave C actors from 2nd ML days along with Liu Yuning. Both underrated for not being cosmetic "beauties" (🙄) but recognised at last. Have you seen the mini drama #AFamiliarStranger ?

I remember quite liking a shortish historical drama called #AFamiliarStranger (eps were about 20 mins long, but with only 8 of them)

I haven’t tried a contemporary short drama yet - but I’ve heard people mention them positively

Henry couldn't make up his mind.😩😔
🌈🌈

next eps in progress!!

#AFamiliarStranger is when I first discovered her. Her pairing in #PerfectMatch was my favorite of all the couples.

I've loved her since #Afamiliarstranger and ofcourse everyone here is aware of my spiral over her cp in #PerfectMatch earlier this year, loool.

Yeah, that's where I watched it. I would recommend #AFamiliarStranger and #DongLanXue for some good short ones as well.

Great mini #cdrama! This was my first exposure to #KeYing & #RyanCheng who went on to now famous #ThePerfectMatch & #MyJourneytoYou. The director of #AFamiliarStranger is the same one who directed #Blossom.

A Familiar Stranger Chinese Drama Review (2022) | namjhyuns I am not the person that wants dramas to be longer, ever, but A Familiar Stranger is the exception....

#AFamiliarStranger is a solid mini #cdrama with a good story, camera work and performances. I wish it would have been longer!

Ohhh, we are hyping mini dramas now. Let me take a minute to hype some of my favs like #TheKillerIsAlsoRomantic, #AFamiliarStranger, #TheDeliberationsOfLove and #HoldOnMyLady. #cdrama

Surprised to hear that people are just now finding #AFamiliarStranger. Better late than never tho. 🫶 #cdrama
