Take a look at netizens' objective evaluation of Shen Yue on Zhihu (T/N: A Q&A style site where users write their own opinions under the OP's topic):
1. Looks are so-so. Pretty good among ordinary citizens, average in the entertainment circle, maybe even below average.
2. Acting skills (current). She's not from a professional acting major, hopefully she can improve her performances.
3. Her marketing team is very powerful. A lot of posts are bought, and they really like to involve other parties such as co-star Hu Yitian, Zheng Shuang, and Mayday. There are a lot of posts that lump her together with her co-stars, and a while ago they kept making posts about her being Zheng Shuang’s successor. Mayday and Hu Yitian are being wronged.
She tries to sell herself too much. She has 900,000 fans on her personal account, and she follows it with her official account. On Weibo her personal account pops up directly after searching Shen Yue. Doesn't this feel very deliberate? After getting to know her, she really is selling a variety of characters for herself. She tries selling herself as witty and keeps telling jokes but she's not funny, it's kinda embarrassing. Then she tried to sell herself as a fangirl but got a slap in the face. She said that she's a super Mayday fan, but she didn’t know that Masa is a bassist... It’s okay if you don’t know, just admit your mistake, but her reply was: Who cares what he is playing as long as he's good looking... emmm this is a little disrespectful of your own idol. She was sworn at by Mayday fans, and some brainless fans just went up and attacked her, but!
Most importantly, Shen Yue's unedited photos are too different from her edited ones ![[疑问]](https://img.t.sinajs.cn/t4/appstyle/expression/ext/normal/b8/2018new_ningwen_org.png "[疑问]")

1. [+4379] I'm afraid that Shen Yue's fans will come and take over the comments...
2. [+4295] I've always thought that among all the celebrities her edited pics have the biggest difference with her looks in real life
3. [+2471] Her fans talk too much ![[拜拜]](https://img.t.sinajs.cn/t4/appstyle/expression/ext/normal/fd/2018new_baibai_org.png "[拜拜]")
4. [+2370] I really hate how in Meteor Garden whenever something happened she just stared super hard
5. [+2193] sy has the looks of anyone you can find on the streets, she's even ordinary among normal people. When she acts her mouth doesn't seem to close, it's distracting
6. [+1865] To be honest, if she were an ordinary person she would be a pretty girl. But if she is a celebrity, she is really super average and even not good looking. If she could act then no one would say anything, but her acting is awkward too. I'm not a fan or an anti, this is just my objective opinion after watching her two dramas. I'm not her anti, I'm only an anti of cxk (T/N: Cai Xukun)
7. [+774] Her fans really have glass hearts (T/N: Delicate egos), a few days ago I was on QQ and saw that an editor wrote some stuff that wasn't belittling her, yet her fans swore at the editor
8. [+577] It can only be that she has someone powerful behind her
