The first one that comes to mind is Taiwanese actor Jiang Zuping. Jiang Zuping is from Taiwan, China. He has a very sweet appearance and is very popular with the audience, but he has always been tepid. In 1997, Jiang Zuping, who had previously worked as a model, starred in his first TV series "Family is a Nest of Pigs"; in the same year, Jiang Zuping also took over the filming of his first big screen work "Breaking through the Death Game". In 1998, Jiang Zuping first starred in the urban emotional drama "This Love Can Ask Heaven", and performed on the same stage with senior actors such as Zhang Chenguang and Liu Xuehua; later, Jiang Zuping starred in the modern love drama "Because I Love You"; in the same year, Jiang Zuping also starred in The romantic idol drama "Constellation Man and Woman"; in addition, Jiang Zuping also participated in the Hong Kong drama film "The Happier the More Depraved".
Jiang Zuping is very popular with the audience, especially without makeup, he is very pure. Not only that, her acting skills are also very good. In the popular "Pawn Shop No. 8", she also played the roles of Zhao Liangyin, Furong, and Amy, who were cursed and reincarnated as prostitutes for life. She was asked to play three roles by herself, but she felt like she was not a person at all. There is also the emotional drama "Unforgettable", in which Jiang Zuping played the smart and well-behaved Lin Xiuhui. This work can also be regarded as a childhood drama, with 807 episodes in one episode. Therefore, there are countless supporting roles in this work. Apart from the protagonist, many netizens cannot even remember the supporting roles.
The one that impressed me the most was "Little Doctor in the Big Hospital", which is an idol drama, one year earlier than "Meteor Garden". Although the drama "Big" is classified as an idol drama, it does not have the kind of love-hate plot that would later set off a trend in Taiwanese dramas. This drama is adapted from the work of writer Hou Wenyong. To me, it is a high-quality drama that is full of depth and tearful. It is still a pity that this kind of drama is not popular but "Meteor Garden" is popular.
In "The Wind and Cloud", Jiang Zuping plays You Ruo, a young lady who is loved by the audience. She laughs and is angry at the same time. She doesn't wear much makeup and relies on her foundation. When she became popular, she did not focus on mainland China. Instead, she acted in many local dramas in Taiwan. Some of these local dramas were introduced to mainland China and re-dubbed in Mandarin, but their influence was limited. There are many celebrities with acting skills and good looks like her who are not popular. The entertainment industry is a place with resources and background. At the same time, it also needs the right time, place and people to seize opportunities.
