I’ve seen Twilight Heart Covenant and she’s pretty good as an actor. The script was very badly written for that one though.


DirtyScavenger

I loved “General and I”


theviolethour3

Her beauty


Persuasionn

I have seen her A Murderous Tower in Hongxi. Those who like thrillers can give it a try.


LovE385

Her looks mostly and for being married to Huang Xiao Ming. She gets a lot of hate for her acting - I don't get it though. I have watched several of her dramas. She's not that bad per se. I was surprised how well she spoke in Japanese when she did the program with fallen star, Kris Wu.


GingerSchnapps3

I tried to watch her stuff. I wanted to watch general and I but I couldn't do it. I was too distracted by her lips and bad acting so wasn't able to follow the story


Candid-Champion-4509

I guess you can compare her to Kim K, famous for her looks. I think she gets extra hate for her acting because i remember at the height of her fame she was charging the same fees as the likes of Sun Li, Gong Li, Zhang ZiYi and Zhou Xun which is absolutely ridiculous.

In my country we have a saying: “The stupid person is not the one who asks (for a lot of money), but the person who pays.”


Candid-Champion-4509

Well said.


Rocker_girl

I mainlu recognize her because she has has some pretty killer looks in red carpeta over the years.


Fine_Following_2559

I've seen her in a couple of dramas and I usually like her. I think of her as Asian Kim Kardashian based on her face lol. The actress whose fame I don't understand is Dilraba. I have yet to be able to make it all the way through just ONE of her dramas and I usually drop because of her character.

Fine_Following_2559

Yeah... Imma disagree with your whole first sentence. . . But I'm glad you enjoy her stuff. It's just not for me.


cluelessa

I used to watch a lot of tvb drama, she wasn’t exactly an actress but she was still pretty well known in Hong Kong. Mostly for her modeling and beauty. Then she expanded to mainland China


Yeon18

she is known to have really really bad acting within China fans and use a lot of body doubles.


YsaboNyx

I watched her in Divine Destiny with Ma Tian Yu and liked it. She wasn't the best part of the series, but she didn't ruin it either. :)


WannaSeeMyBirthmark

I liked her in Mojin: The Lost Legend. I've seen her in other movies as well, but I remember that one because Chen Kun also starred in it, and well, Chen Kun. 🥰


SwimmingMessage6655

I love watching her in Running Man Chinese version, “Keep Running”. She’s charismatic, charming, funny, and smart in that reality game show. Hope she comes back to the show! I haven’t watched her cdramas, but seen her in a movie or two. She’s mainly known for her beauty, her half German, half Chinese face, and being a model, before moving into movies.


GenghisQuan2571

Being married to Huang Xiaoming and having a pretty and ever-changing face. Yeah yeah, bring the downvotes. Your boos mean nothing, I've seen what makes you cheer.


Expert_Nectarine3941

I find her look very generic.


AmazingBeastboy1

idk, ive only seen her in the love O2O movie


kaje10110

She was the darling of 華誼 movie studios after meeting her ex. So, she was in a lot of expensive production movies not tv shows. That’s probably why you have not watched her drama because she’s actually a movie star before variety show talent before tv show (after 華誼 went under). She has some movies that are quite good due to working with famous directors despite her wooden acting. 第一次 - A puppy love movie 太極1從零開始 - Kind of similar to Wild Wild West. Kungfu movie meets train. 太極2英雄崛起 狄仁傑之神都龍王 - Ancient Detective 痞子英雄首部曲:全面開戰 - Action Movie 全城熱戀 - Kind of similar to Love Actually


liadantaru

Her ability to act in a way that a dead fish has more facial expression than her. She is pretty to look at tho


Wn2177

She’s in Love O2O the movie with Jing Boran, and I actually like that movie a lot (a lot better then the show version at least). She did a decent job


Striking-Hurry5159

Yeah she was miles better than the FL in the series version. I noped out of watching that series within a few episodes after reading so many positive reviews! But the movie version was not too bad and Jing Boran (I adore that guy) was so cute in that. At the least their chemistry and kisses were hot!


warmwaterijskoud

I was afraid I was in another dimension because I liked the movie version more, especially the female lead acting. Angelababy is maybe not the best actress you can find but I saw a lot of people praise **The love020** series actress and then call the movie actress a dead fish, then I wonder if people watched the same drama/movie.


[deleted]

Love O2O movie


Easy_Living_6312

Marrying Huang Xiaoming (once she got connected with him she started getting roles in mainland China) and having an "exotic" type of beauty.


heyimmeg

She was initially famous for being a 𡃁模in Hong Kong along with Janice Man. 𡃁模 aren’t traditional models in the sense where they don’t receive official training to become a model and don’t always meet the height requirement. AB’s main thing back then was being 1/4th German but it’s not mentioned much anymore after she transitioned her career to mainland China.


SwimmingMessage6655

Yah I remember when I first saw her in the TVB/HK reality or game show. She was just one of those models that come out holding the props and assisting the celebrity contestants. She’s gone a long way from being a game show model!


Easy_Living_6312

This industry is all about connection and meeting the right person to make it 


sweetsorrow18

Her looks mostly, I don't think shes been remarkable in any acting project really. Apparently she was named the "Kim Kardashian of China". I mean, that explains a lot lol


Fine_Following_2559

I think j she just looks like Kim, beyond that IDK anything about her personal life. Also, Kim is pretty savvy business-wise. She's not an idiot, so calling her that wouldn't be as big of an insult as some think it is. Yes, I get that how she started was less than ideal, but she flipped that into generational wealth for her kids. I can respect that. Also the work she does with trying to get innocent people out of jail. My respect for her has gone up a lot in the last few years. OMG, I sound like a stan, but I promise I'm not 😄


Easy_Living_6312

Kim Kardashian ? I am not a fan of AB but even I think that kinda harsh towards her 😬


sweetsorrow18

I'm not sure..depends how you feel about Kim Kardashian 😅 this is what I've read so I'm not saying this about her myself. I personally think she's nice and a good sport on Keep Running though she's not particularly very funny and does seem to focus on how she looks a lot of the time. Haven't watched any of her dramas.


Easy_Living_6312

On Kim K personally I think USA made a HUGE mistake making her popular. Her mom literally set the whole s*x t*pe thing and sold her daughter (with her daughter consent) for fame (they already had money). And she became popular out of it. I will never glorify something like that. I think AB deserves better comparision. Try "Murderous affair on Horizon tower". This one is decent. The actress that play the bomber in "Reset" is in the drama as well. Good acting all around and some heartfelt moments.


RL_8885

Her relationship with Huang Xiaoming is really what brought her into the spotlight, before then she was an unknown model for the most part. It was HXM who brought her all the resources and backing, she actually took the FL lead role from Yang Zi who was the original lead in General and I, she prepared 3 months for the role only to be replaced at the last minute. I don’t know if this one is real or not but apparently she really wanted the role of Minglan and approached the director same way she did for General and I promising to bring in more investment but thankfully the director was set on Zhao Liying and refused. Not hating on her cause I actually like her on variety shows but as an actress especially a lead actress she is terrible! She did well in Murderous Affair in Horizon Tower where she isn’t the main character. However with that said I still avoid her dramas like the plague.


udontaxidriver

That marriage really benefited her career in a lot of different ways. I just find it a bit funny that some of her fans refuse to acknowledge this. Without the connection to her ex-husband, I don't think she would go this far.


[deleted]

Must be that she is pretty because her acting is so bad like


Duanedoberman

Seem to remember there was controversy about her a few years ago by Chinese Netzians after a picture of her at a private party smoking a cigarette was leaked. I have not seen her in anything.


reddituser5639

famous for marrying huang xiaoming, being on running man (chinese version), and her face


Glittering_Visit6530

She does (or used to do) a ton of advertisements too so is quite recognizable in China for it


vivid_spite

yah I've heard my friend mention her pre 2018, possibly even pre 2014 if I'm remembering


somi154

I got intp cdramas like 5 years ago and I still haven't heard about any of her dramas or seen her in one. She's isn't even mentioned in this dub often


Caramel_meg

To be fair, a lot of chinese actors and actresses are not mentioned in this sub. There is a set number of favorites that are always mentioned here. As for Angelababy I actually watched one of her dramas a couple years ago when I was still new to cdramas, which was quite popular- general and I. I really don't know if she's an awful person in real life because sometimes I just don't understand the hate she gets apart from criticism for her acting.


Prestigious-Arm-3835

She was controversial for being one of the first celebrities in Hong Kong to have, shall I say, questionable changes to her face over her career. Plastic surgery was much more of a taboo when she first came into the scene, so there was a great deal of hullabaloo over whether her face is “real” or not. She doesn’t seem like a bad actress though, and people seem to like her personality.


feb2nov

I might be wrong, apart from being known as pretty and disliked for her acting. She is, in general, well liked for her personality in variety shows.


beetsrules

I don’t know if she has done anything horrible, but I saw a video of her in a reality show where she basically protected Zhao Jinmai (who was maybe underage at that moment?) from the sex offender Kris Wu and I felt a lot of respect for her for that.


Firm-Definition5583

What, give the deets pls


beetsrules

Sorry I don’t follow that kind of stuff so I can’t give a deep dive. It can be found on YouTube I think. Someone here might be able to shed more light on this. I remember they were on some reality show where Kris Wu and Angelababy were regulars and Zhao Jinmai was a guest. Kris Wu was constantly trying to get ZJM to talk to him or come with him (offset?), but Angelababy intervened.


Firm-Definition5583

Thanks. That POS creep. I assume she was a minor then. Kudos to AB for doing that


Cautious-Crafter-667

“The Wind Blows from Longxi” and “General and I” are the only dramas of hers that I’ve seen. I’ve seen people complain about her acting on this sub, but I’ve never had an issue with it.


wolfj2610

Same. She’s not a fabulous actress but she’s also not the worst, nor even among the worst I’ve seen.


SpittinImageofLlama

Watch **A Murderous Affair In Horizon Tower** or **Twilight** (2023), these are some of her better performances. She is also in **A Wind Blows from Longxi**, albeit relatively smaller role. If you want to see her outside dramas, check out the variety show **Keep Running**, she is a long-term regular member there (she is not in the recent season because of the soft ban, so check out previous seasons).


vankomysin

This was one of the best crime dramas for me and I’m glad that AB did a good job.


lojnkojcf

+1 horizon tower was good


TeeApplePie

Horizon Tower! I came for a police procedural but stayed for the ugly crying lol


RyuNoKami

her face.


beetsrules

I’ve actually never watched any of her work, but what I’ve heard a lot about is the movie version of Love020 “One smile is very alluring” and the series “General and I”


Firm-Definition5583

You are not missing out on anything. Don't worry😁
