Other than look-alike appearances, Kao puts his focus on Chang's accent when he speaks.
"The premier has a very high and exaggerated tone whenever he gives speeches. Also, his facial expressions are sometimes unnaturally twisted," Kao said. He said that Chang was probably trying to look modest and sincere while he was actually full of self-confidence.
Ni said he manages to think as Lu does. He has gone through Lu's biography and books, detailed every anecdote in Lu's political career and visited her hometown.
"I've lived her life," Ni said, revealing that he was the one who"understands and loves Lu the most in the world."
Impersonators face a common criticism: the question of whether they are intentionally smearing the image of the politicians they imitate.

"I am the impersonator. Why would I smear my own image and make myself look like a clown?"
