How old is princess rebel

Mao Xiao Tong is 32 but she can carry a 16 year old role cos her looks will fit the acting. Zhou Dong Yu, 28, is another good candidate for young roles. In fact, I find some of her acting as a teen rather awkward instead of natural. Anyway, it is unfortunate that the discussion seem to be focused on this one aspect now, instead of on the drama itself, which could have been avoided if they had made their casting choices well.

Same goes for Qin Empire. But in this case, to claim the actress love for the character is enough to bear the age difference well, its not! For me, this drama has good story but is really miscast.

I feel that too. In Held in a Lonely Castle, not only the King; other supporting characters too and they also had a few kids playing the different ages Princess and her favorite enunch. This kind of detail to realism is really impressive. The most important thing is they fit their roles and can deliver good acting performance. I have watched up to 7 episodes of Rebel Princess and I must say, overall, the acting quality is only average and some characters feels outright artificial.

Asking Zhang to act as a 25yo equivalence is percent convincible plus the looks. If a young actor can act in an old age role, vice versa should not be a controversy. Carmen lee acted as a 16 yo xiao long nu, but we all agree she was the more mature looking xiao long nu, but we all loved her nonetheless.

Whether they used the child actor route or not is fine either way. Indeed, there are quite some talented kids china these days. They are not making the drama for the sensibilities of people who lived a hundred years ago; or even for people in that era — the drama is made for people in this generation to consume.

Using child actors in scenes where child actors are required adds to the believability of the characters as many have said. It does not take away from the audience understanding of the character at all and adds depth to the production. My guess is that many productions are too lazy to use them when required as child actors may need extra coaching, and a study of mannerisms by their adult counterparts to add authenticity to the character that may seem to be too much trouble for the production crew to undergo.

As a product of modern viewers consumption, they can only change so much for viewers. They changed the language, the costumes etc to modern tastes but nonetheless retain certain ancient qualities to keep the theme authentic. As such, yes maybe if they wrote the story to start her off as a 25yo it would be less off-putting, but then it would not go with the ancient political theme lifestyle where political marriage begins at the teen years. God, just imagine young zhang zi yi back in the days.

The character is one person, you are one person. Why should 2 ppl be one person? As we all age, were our younger self not yourself? Plot is Interesting enough to Keep My Attention If you are someone who enjoys palace schemings, the jostle for throne plus those character arcs of female empowerment, I think you will enjoy The Rebel Princess as it is for me.
