I love that the best emotional acting when it comes to facial expressions comes from Lan Wangji (microexpressions) and Jiang Cheng (macroexpressions). Lan Wangji doesn't emote much but when you're keyed in, the tiny little changes in his facial expression are Devastating. Meanwhile Jiang Cheng is feeling Every Emotion, All The Time, and you are going to see it on every inch of his face. He'll go through twenty different expressions in the same amount of seconds and that face journey will be but a brief glimpse into the awful emotional rollercoaster that is Jiang Cheng's life

Gotta ask why you put all this in the tags friendo, it's like the best parts! @waitineedaname

#also on the list of best facial acting is wwx simply because it was fun watching him go from bright and smiley full of joy and life #to his descent into madness and grief and death #but i feel like lwj and jc really take the cake for opposite reasons #it was wild getting to the point in the show where i could easily read lwj's face #and it would be like how. barely anything changed. how do i look at this and know immediately that you are absolutely smitten #and then there's jiang cheng my love absolutely sobbing SO OFTEN #wzc seriously did so good conveying jc's range #i think about the miserable kicked puppy expression when jingyi accuses him of killing wwx So Often #it's so subtle on the first watch but on rewatch ohhh my god #speaking of i kinda wanna do a side by side comparison of wwx's two death scenes #the one in the first scene and the one much later #bc i know it's shot differently #but im also p sure it's acted differently #if i remember correctly jc looks more angry in the first scene #and more conflicted the second time #but i might be wrong
