La Van Hi is considered a star on the Chinese screen thanks to her elegant face and scholarly temperament. However, in "S up Dragon's Water", his thin figure and thick makeup makeup make him seem to lack masculine appeal, not suitable for the image of a half- main, half-devil character.
Many viewers believe that in the whole-body camera angles, the slim body makes the character lose the majesty and strength that he needs in the historical drama genre.
Not only La Van Hi's figure, appearance and makeup have also become controversial topics. He appeared with a style that was considered "rice and rice mixing", even wearing heavier makeup than the female lead, reducing the naturalness of his face. Some viewers commented that his gaze and expression lacked weight, not clearly expressing the complex inner depth of the character Duong Le Tu - who carries pain and conflict between good and evil.
This is not the first time La Van Hi has been commented on her appearance. In The New Years Eve, the actor born in 1988 was commented many times by the audience for his overly thin appearance and thick linen, making the character unnatural. While many colleagues of the same generation choose a versatile, strong and approachable style, La Van Hi is still loyal to the image of "the young king", leading to a repeat in the public's perception.
Although it is undeniable that La Van Hi's delicate acting and emotional eyes are enhanced, the audience hopes that he will improve his physical condition and change his style to better suit action and martial arts roles. In an increasingly fierce entertainment environment, flexibility and image innovation are important factors that help artists maintain their appeal. If he does not renew himself soon, the "artistic handsome man" may gradually be frame in a familiar image.
