It continues to astonish me how not-ridiculous his ponytail looks to me! (I guess it's just not a style I was familiar with before? But now I like it a lot.) I would venture to say it is adorable! ♥
Yeah, I think I got used to Chinese actors having different beauty standards. There are pics of Bai Yu with... sticks in his hair? (And not from wuxia shows, just... regular modeling stuff.)
But I grew up with a lot of long-haired teachers (who themselves grew up in the seventies where everyone's idol was John Lennon), so men with long hair were always normal to me. And I love long hair in men, so I adore that ponytail, too.
It's actually how short it is that's unfamiliar to me (masculine or feminine)! But I see from your conversation with jo_lasalle that this reaction may be familiar to you. :D He definitely makes it work!
yes, you're right. Longer is even better! But this short ponytail is just so cute! (Probably because Zhu Yilong himself is cute, so a cute style just fits him.)
