Esther is currently starring in the drama Speed And Love.

Recently, Esther Yu has been hit with a wave of criticism for her acting in Speed And Love.

I really don't know how Esther Yu gets leading roles. Everyone knows how bad her acting is. The worst part is the way she does her voice, like a baby—horrible. I can never watch a drama with her. There are so many talented Chinese actors #SpeedAndLove

Yet, in the recent episode, Esther gained attention for her sexy bathroom scenes with her male co-star. In the scene, the two main stars start passionately kissing.

After seemingly feeling like they were spotted, they started kissing again after being left alone, to the point where the room started steaming up, and only their silhouettes were seen.

Amid the criticism, tweets from fans across the world shared love for the intimacy and the way the scene was set up.

The scene breathes intimacy through color and shadows; the cinematography and lighting understood the task perfectly#双轨 #SpeedAndLove pic.twitter.com/4QeivibQ00
