Li Xirui is currently appearing in a crime-themed suspense drama that’s airing now, and her performance has started gaining traction. Highlight reels of her scenes are circulating across social media platforms, helping drive attention and discussion around her role.
Objectively speaking, Li Xirui has always had standout visual qualities and screen presence — which helped her gain some attention earlier in her career. However, as previously noted, she doesn’t quite fit the mold of a typical female lead in major commercial IP dramas, with her persona often mismatching the typical heroine archetypes.
That said, roles like the one in this current suspense drama seem much more in line with her strengths. Her breakout this time has been aided both by organic audience interest and active promotional efforts from the production team and herself. As a result, the show has performed well on popularity rankings and has maintained momentum for a longer period than expected.
All in all, this type of genre may prove to be a better fit for Li Xirui, potentially opening up more targeted and sustainable acting opportunities in the future.
