HR is supposed to be in her late teens in LOCH as is Guo Jing. Being pretty or beautiful is a gift of nature, but showing intelligence and cunning is a gift of acting. Li Qian is an actress with the acting gift that stands head and shoulders above most others. She's cute, not beautiful; but she would be a superb HR otherwise. GJ should be portrayed by a taller actor and not a shrimp. The choices should be made based on the book's descriptions and acting ability; not on popularity. Regardless, they'll sell a huge number of DVD/VCDs anyway and, unless it's a real stinker, will just add another version to the 'which is best' argument.Originally Posted by godzilla
