Never really liked FSF too much, even though he's pretty good looking. Personally, his acting (or his characters so far) have all been over the top for me. He has immense screen presence, but I think he needs to learn how to control it to befit different characters.
Schemes of Beauty was pretty good most of the time (I FFed through a lot though...), sometimes veering to the cheesy side. Ruby Lin did a solid job as the lead, and her OTP to me was like warmed soymilk, a little bit on the plain side, but heartwarming and soothing. I feel like Schemes of Beauty is one of Yu Zheng's better dramas, with definitely better production value. (Sorry, never been a fan of JPLH. It belongs in the pile of over the top, overly commercialized, and dreadfully unoriginal Chinese dramas for me.)
As for the Legend of the Tiger Amulet, man, that's a solid solid supporting cast (I had no interest in the drama before the trailer. Now I'm a bit excited b/c of the supporting cast). FSF and YM are two lucky people. A lot of actors/actresses from one of my favorite Chinese dramas The Great Gate (大宅门) are in this.
