Forgot about that!

Early Cheng Lei 💗

He was good in that.
Watched after MJTY.
Surprised to see he could smile 😁

I'm happy his career is growing.

He's a strong actor

#MyJourneytoYou - the second couple stole the show (along with the young 'brother') - also #HowDareYou were his best scripts after his breakout #AFamiliarStranger. Honestly found the others disappointing & like #LamentforAutumn I sadly dropped.

Ah that explains #ChengLei. He had a rounder face in #AFamiliarStranger. Zhang Linghe also has a rounder face in earlier series. Is #LiuYuning the only one who hasn't altered himself? He does botox, I expect, but he still has a round face. And lovely to hear him singing in both shows I'm watching.

So,
#WhereTheMaskEnds is a full-time, big budget, glamed up and more polished version of #AFamiliarStranger / #TheEvilFace - that's what you're telling me?

Having just watched the short drama, I'm gonna sit this one out for now.

Thank you @tearexmama.bsky.social / @certifiednoonas.com

for recommending this
down and dirty #ChengLei snack of a face-off fever dream

#AFamiliarStranger
aka #TheEvilFace

Who needs plausibility when we get some naked shoulders, parent trapping and unhinged schemers.

No wonder #AFamiliarStranger aka #TheEvilFace slipped through the cracks,

(being bonkers and shorter than short notwithstanding)

when it aired in the year of

#LoveBetweenFairyAndDevil
#WhoRulesTheWorld
#SheAndHerPerfectHusband
#LoveLikeTheGalaxy
#NewLifeBegins

... tough competition, alright...

#AFamiliarStranger is very good, and Cheng Lei is great in it. Some of the racier - and not such high quality - shorts have this kind of vibe and energy. Similar language too, but maybe not those exact words. I’ll have to think if I’ve heard that phrase before.

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

Ke Ying was recently in #PerfectMatch

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

O drama #LoveintheDesert / #漠风吟 segue a mesma linha de tempo de exibição de ep entre 15 a 35 min e pouca censura, assim como os Web dramas de sucesso como #AFamiliarStranger, #ButterfliedLove e #MaidsRevenge. Voce não pode perder.

I also don’t have trust issues with Director, #ZengQingJie. He has also directed great short cdramas: #AFamiliarStranger & #ButterfliedLover. #cdrama
Director #ZengQingJie, who helmed projects like #Blossom and #PursuitOfJade for the screen, has three projects coming:

1. #干物妹!小埋, adapted from the manga Himouto! Umaru-chan

2. #TheNoble, starring #LiYiTong and #ChenXingxu (currently filming)

3. #朝如朱颜暮如尘 (on pre-production stage)

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.
August 10, 2025 at 8:41 AM
#AFamiliarStranger is when I first discovered her. Her pairing in #PerfectMatch was my favorite of all the couples.
June 1, 2025 at 12:57 AM
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.
