The acting of TTV/SETTV drama Fated To Love You’s male lead, Ethan Ruan JingTian, is becoming broader and more and more mature; he has also become bolder and more unrestrained in conversation. Ethan, who is a Scorpio, admitted bluntly that his sexuality is very strong; beginning in high school, this “characteristic” was very obvious. Additionally, kissing is his forte; he is very proud of his natural-born lips, which he considers perfect for kissing.
At first, Ethan was very perplexed and uneasy over why filming such a daring bed scene was necessary. He said, “When I was in junior high, I probably wouldn’t have wanted to watch such a barefaced love scene. Neither was I that ‘open’ to the idea of sex. Why do idol dramas these days have to film such ‘realistic’, undisguised scenes? It was only after some of the crew discussed it with me that I realized that the environment and ‘atmosphere’ nowadays has changed. The audience wants dramas and performances that are more realistic, not artificial.”
Ethan and good friend Joe Cheng YuanChang will often discuss the things that they have learned from work. When Ethan heard that Joe had moaned while filming a bed scene with Ariel Lin YiChen for ISWAK II: TKA, thus, keeping his acting and the overall performance extremely true to life, he was determined to engross himself entirely while filming his own bed scene for Fated To Love You. When filming kissing scenes with Chen QiaoEn, he tried to come up with ways to make himself fall immediately in love with her. He explained, “If you don’t engross yourself in the scene while filming, the acting will really be very strange.”
