Even to say, whether a person is likable or not is actually determined by their flaws.
Viewing someone's flaws as cute or not.
With such alterations, He Xuran and Yin Linglin's characters no longer possess real flaws.
In fact, whether it's jealousy or lechery, Zhou Yun feels these are not principle-based flaws; When well enacted, they are equally moving, equally loved by the audience.
Take lechery for example, in "Eight Hundred," the character played by Jiang Wu, his performance before death, makes him appear lecherous yet real, yet touching, making tears flow endlessly as one watches.
Or take "My Past Life" where Lei Jiayin played the ex-husband. Why did Ma Yili choose him again? It seemed that by having Lei Jiayin play the adulterous man, he wouldn't be criticized as harshly. The result was that Lei Jiayin's portrayal of the ex-husband did indeed win over many viewers, who both cursed and liked him simultaneously.
