Some have praised his unique look and wished him well in his acting career. @Reborn of the y-dimensional villainess commented, "I have to say, Ding Ze Ren's acting is good, and he has a face that is easy to recognize. I hope he will get better and better."
However, not everyone is on board with his casting. @soyim commented, "The film industry is really good at living it up - no wonder, it's a strange and wonderful phenomenon to see a ZB family's ugly child as the lead actor." @Yizimu's micro-breaking information added, "This...collapse idol still has a strange and wonderful appearance to be the lead actor in the ZB family."
In addition, netizens have been discussing Ding Ze Ren's past scandals. @The housekeeper of Yi Yuan commented, "Is this a false memory or something? Swallowing sleeping pills and jumping off the building? Wasn't it a request of his fans not to leave the team?" @Xiao Ying's micro-breaking information added, "It's his life of work with injury!"
But Ding Ze Ren's fans are not backing down. @Du Hua's micro-breaking information retorted, "Du Hua, do you love him so much?" and @Hai Yue retorted, "Is it Du Hua who saved your life?"
This news follows a series of similar incidents, such as Ding Ze Ren's personal scandal, as well as another performer's participation in a variety show despite being unqualified.
Despite the mixed reactions from netizens, Ding Ze Ren's drama "Huaqingge" is still under production. It remains to be seen whether or not his performance in this drama will be well received by his audience.
