Among the many networks**, "Hard to Coax" has won a large number of fans with its unique charm and engaging plot. Although the original book is well-known, the process of adapting it into a TV series is full of challenges and controversies. Recently, the filming of the TV series "Hard to Coax" was officially launched, however, from casting to styling to plot adaptation, every link has aroused heated discussions among netizens. 
The crew has been in casting for several months, from Song Weilong, Zhang Yuxi to Chen Feiyu, Meng Ziyi, and almost all of the popular Shenghua are rumored to be candidates. In the end, Zhang Ruonan and Zhang Miaoyi were selected as the actors of the heroine Wen Yifan and the female No. 2 Sang Zhi respectively. However, this casting decision was questioned by fans of the original book. 
Wen Yifan is portrayed in the original book as a beautiful woman with bewitching, fox eyes, and a seductive soul, and is aggressive. However, Zhang Ruonan's image is more inclined to be gentle, which is far from the original image. 
What's even more disappointing is that the makeup, hair and styling team of the crew didn't seem to create a suitable image for Zhang Ruonan, but instead made her look like a "working girl", which is completely inconsistent with the image of the goddess in the original book. 
At the same time, Zhang Miaoyi, the actor of the female No. 2 Sang Zhi, was not spared. In the original book, Sang Zhi is a rich lady who grew up in preference, with a soft and gentle image. However, in the play, her style is too cumbersome and Internet celebrity, and she has completely lost the temperament in the original book. 
In this context, the audience can't help but question: Can Bai Jingting counterattack with his acting skills and drive the reputation of this drama? As the actor of the leading actor, Bai Jingting's acting skills have always been recognized. However, in the face of so much controversy and questioning, can he make the audience forget about the shortcomings of casting and styling with his outstanding performance?
