Yang Chaoyue recently began filming her first drama of 2025, Sunshine through the Rain. As her return to the small screen this year, expectations are naturally high for her performance in the emotionally charged role. Set images and behind-the-scenes videos have surfaced on social media via fan stations and immediately caught the attention of netizens.
In the leaked photos, Yang Chaoyue appears disheveled in tattered clothing with a pale face, bloodied lips, and a bandage on her cheek—clearly part of the character’s storyline. But despite the messy styling, it’s clear she just can’t look “poor.” Her noble aura breaks through effortlessly, with her defined features—sharp nose, big round eyes, and delicate lips—still shining through the makeup meant to dull her beauty.
Under related posts, netizens flooded the comments with humorous yet resigned reactions to her unshakable “heiress vibe.” Many joked that even with a messy look, she still gives off the elegance of a chaebol daughter. Some suggested that the production team should apply two or three more layers of makeup to tone her down.
Here are some standout comments:
“She looks too pretty for this role. The director must be crying backstage.”
“No matter how dirty her face is, her princess aura can’t be hidden.”
“This looks like ‘magazine cover poor’ not real poor—like, cosplay poor.”
“Requesting 2–3 extra layers of makeup to tone down that visual.”
“She looks like she stepped out of a celebrity magazine even in that outfit.”
“Even if she wears a potato sack, she still looks elegant.”
Sunshine through the Rain tells the story of Zheng Yu, a struggling biology student trying to escape poverty. To afford her mother’s medication and pay off family debts, she juggles part-time jobs while competing for a school scholarship.
Her path takes an unexpected turn when Chen Yanzhou, a top student who had previously taken a break due to illness, returns and outshines her in academics. Though initially rivals, the two are forced to work together for a common goal. As they grow closer, they begin to realize the warm hearts hidden beneath each other’s cold exteriors.
Even if Yang Chaoyue tries her best to embody the hardships of Zheng Yu, her natural elegance makes it almost impossible to hide her star quality—a true dilemma for any director trying to make her look “ordinary.”
