I love bro Gilbert & sis Annie at first time watching HOY, this love has never ended throughout the pass 10 years. Also I've been wondering if i love bro Gilbert or his role Ye Lut Haonam, and now could definitely confirm that love him because of his super acting as YLHN. I am not deny that the role of YLHN itself is attractive and challenging for any actor who has chance to play, and our Gilbert is the luckiest one.
However, as some discussion above, if switching role between bro Gil and Vin, I will 1000% argue on the idea that Vincent will draw up an impressive YLHN like Gilbert bro. It’s impossible since the beauty of them is different as well as the charismatic acting skill. Both of them are one of the most handsome actors in ancient costume, but to be honest, I love the beauty of bro Gil than Vin
I saw some ancient series of Vin bro, he’s handsome and has good acting skill, however, I am not impress with his roles after watching, maybe because of the script, but I have a feeling that his way of acting is more outward (hard to describe, but something like he normally uses his whole outside face to play the role, hence even he did a good job with a role that has pitiful fate, I still could not give my full empathic toward the role of him, easily to forget).
In contrast, Gilbert’s acting way is more introverted, even he plays good/bad or comedy role. I believe the secret weapon of him is his eyes, which make audiences keep thinking about his roles and this skill is hard to find from other actors, you could easily recognize throughout 2 series of HOY (even he’s YLHN or Cheung Ngau) and in other series as well. So for me, he’s an outstanding and best fit for YLHN role which requires a deeply inner acting. Then, together with a super ancient beauty (handsome face + sexy body + fitted ancient outfits & hair), we’ve been killed at first for a flawless YLHN in part 1 with an signature smirk – intelligent, arrogant, master in pen & sword, cold-blooded in war & soft-hearted in love. How perfect of a man we could wait for
(sorry to fan of Vin bro, some scenes of only these 2 men, I see Gilber bro is a bit more handsome/cool than Vin bro
)
Anyway tks God that this is just “IF”, and Gilbert bro & Annie sis is my idol ever, without replacement thus far. Do hope they will pair up happily in another serie, but .. more than 10 years already
