Returning from Season 1 are cast members Hou Minghao, Peng Yuchang, and Wang Yinglu. Newcomer Chen Wen Qi has drawn attention for her role as Chen Duo. Like Feng Baobao, Chen Duo is a freelancer at NDT Express. When her boss is found dead from poisoning, she becomes the prime suspect pursued by NDT Express.
Viewers in China have praised Wen Qi's performance, noting her successful portrayal of the character Chen Duo from the anime "I am Nobody," both in appearance and martial arts skills.
The martial arts scenes are particularly impressive, especially during her training on the water, where the temperature was only 3 degrees Celsius. Behind the scenes, Wen Qi demonstrated her professionalism, repeatedly filming to achieve the best action shots despite the cold weather.
The epic battle scene in Biyou Village stands out prominently. Feng Baobao and Chen Duo engage in combat, with both Wang Yinglu and Wen Qi displaying strong and skilled movements. Their expressions do not reveal that they were filming in cold weather.
Wen Qi's character, Chen Duo, is quite challenging. She is a "poison saint child" rescued from the Yaoxian Society by an outsider management organization. This character has a complex background, lacking a childhood and the moral lessons typically learned in the human world. Despite her deadly powers, she behaves like an ignorant child, trying to navigate the human world in various ways.
Many netizens hope that the drama version will provide a more satisfying ending for this tragic character, who has become a favorite among comic fans.
The Introduction of New Characters and Story Dynamics
In the first three episodes of "I am Nobody" Season 2, important characters are introduced one by one, including the collaboration between Peng Yuchang and Wang Yinglu's characters, along with the handsome appearance of Hou Minghao. The humorous interactions between Peng Yuchang and Hou Minghao, where they face off without knowing each other, add excitement to the plot.
The introduction of new characters, including Wen Qi as Chen Duo and the gray-haired village chief portrayed by Yin Fang, enriches the story's dynamics. The contrasting good and evil traits of these characters provide unique humor, while the addition of more freelancers at NDT Express introduces further variables to the seemingly stable relationships established in Season 1, as noted by upmedia.
With an engaging storyline and outstanding performances from the cast, "The Showdown Between Ying & Yang" is poised to captivate audiences and become one of the most anticipated dramas of the year.
