Contrary to the original game, Chang Qing is nowhere the stern, serious and determined priest he is supposed to be. In fact, Wallace completely surprised me with his portrayal as I had expected a serious and boring goody-two-shoes sort of character when I first saw him in the costume fitting pictures. Never did I imagine I would actually like him the most out of all the male characters. Although highly skilled in martial arts and well versed in the art of Taoism, Chang Qing is nothing short of being humble, gullible and somewhat of a blockhead with an innocent and good-natured sense of humor, hence, making him a favorite target of bullying by Jing Tian.

I didn't know Wallace could be this natural with such a naïve and goody character and the serious expressions he puts on while making a joke (unknowingly most of the time) are simply classic! One of his most comical scenes is the part where Jing Tian tries to make him drunk by lying to him that the wine he is drinking is actually tea.

The expression he wears when asking Jing Tian why the latter lied to him was really adorable and hilarious. Sadly, Chang Qing loses that innocent charm as the series progresses and he becomes a lot less likable after he goes through a period of angst-y distress. Chang Qing is probably the only one of the leads whose modification of character was a welcoming change to me.

Chang Qing aside, Wallace also plays Ye Ping and Liu Fang, Chang Qing's names in his previous 2 lives. Ye Ping and Liu Fang are pretty insignificant characters and have very little screen time, so they aren’t very interesting or memorable. In fact, they're Taoists priests just like Chang Qing and are also very similar to the latter personality wise.
