Award Record

Character Evaluation

Kang Qunzhi in life is kind and warm, and a good actor. (People's Daily, Jiang Xin's comment) Humor and optimism and self-deprecating spirit, "Fan mother" is actually an interesting person. (Life Daily)

Kang Qunzhi has always played small supporting roles, but she has always acted seriously, and in addition, her acting skills are also very outstanding. Kang Gun-ji has a drama-throwing face that makes it completely impossible to think of what roles she has played in her previous dramas.

But let's analyze from the technical stream, to be able to interpret such a small role as Fan Shengmei's mother in "Ode to Joy" in such a way as to make the audience gnash their teeth is not the average acting skills can do, non-veteran actors can not. (Minnan net comments)
