I& #39;ve not yet seen the program and TBH wasn& #39;t really planning to this soon for I have a boatload of C and K dramas to get through...Based on posts I have read, the common ground everyone seems (even some of the haters) to have is that Xiao Zhan did a great job...
I really would not expect anything less, for he is a really good actor...Still it saddens me that I am not surprised the haters of Xiao Zhan seem to be trying to crucify him for even taking on the role/project...
Especially after that NY-Times review came out criticizing China for not accurately depicting that majority of front-line workers in China& #39;s battle with COVID19 have been women...
A fair critique, but how is this the fault of one actor, which is what some of the haters seem to be implying.

Maybe I& #39;m reading some of the reactions wrong...I know all about the "incident"...I still do not get the absolute hatred some seem to have with Xiao Zhan.
Update:

I watched the program on YouTube and I can only guess the NY-Times article based much of it& #39;s critique on brief videos (1-2 minutes) and if you only go by that, it would look as if there weren& #39;t many women front-liners being portrayed...That is far from the truth.
All the actors did an amazing job portraying these heroes on front-line, including Xiao Zhan...Being a US citizen and having had to listen to the idiocy coming from Trump...First Trump knew nothing, then it was a hoax, then it& #39;s all China& #39;s fault, and so on and so on...
