Honestly, I long for the days of rugged, manly, battle-hardened generals.

Give me the Zhou Yiwei's and the Zu Yawens! Give me the men with broken noses, tanned skin and imperfect asymmetrical faces.

Enough with the delicate, pale-skinned generals.

Because that's not realistic. But say this out loud in #Cdrama fan circles and you might just be crucified 😆

You may think this shift happened because Chinese tastes shifted, but not really. Not all Chinese think this way as you can see!

I believe the preference for androgynous, delicate looking men rose with the popularity of bishonen in Japanese manga, but that's my theory.

@liztai This will be the reason why I will stop watching newer #cDrama, scrawny idols with limited "acting" skills. Add to that, the overused white powdered face.
@Fanua @liztai and filters! filters everywhere!
