Public Criticism vs. Career Impact
Recently, Liu Yuning (刘宇宁) has faced online mockery regarding his appearance, leading many to wonder if this would harm his acting opportunities. In reality, while negative comments exist, the overall impact on his career has not been as significant as some might assume.
Strong Performance of His Dramas
Almost every drama where Liu Yuning has taken on the lead role has achieved strong viewership and good reception. As an actor with a “controversial persona,” his name naturally generates buzz and conversation, which ironically makes him more appealing to production companies and investors.
Why Producers Still Choose Him
For production teams, ratings and audience engagement are key metrics. As long as a series performs well, personal criticism of an actor rarely outweighs the potential for commercial success. Liu Yuning’s ability to remain a trending topic also works in his favor, keeping him competitive in the industry.
