Favorite Chinese Actors & Actresses

Leo Wu

Chinese

Cheng Yi

Chinese

Where I first saw him: Stand By Me. 

Commanding presence, expressive eyes, GORGEOUS pouty lip, beautiful cry face. Even though I didn't like the drama, Stand By Me, he was by-far the strongest actor and presence of the show. He makes me want more. I still have to watch Love & Redemption and I'm excited for it.

Also, excitedly anticipating him in: Immortal Samsara 

Xiao Zhan

Chinese

Where I first saw him: The Untamed. Gorgeous. Gorgeous. Gorgeous. One of my all-time favorite Chinese characters EVER- Wei Wu Xian. Also, one of my all-time favorite dramas, ever. Hard to put into words how wonderful that series is. 

Excitedly anticipating him in: The Longest Promise

Deng Lun

Chinese

Where I first saw him: Ashes of Love & The Yin-Yang Master: Dream of Eternity. 

He's beautiful, emotive, strong, and a wonderful cryer. Looks beautiful with short and long hair. Excitedly anticipating him in Night Wanderer with Ni Ni. 

Gong Jun

Chinese

First saw him in: Word of Honor.

BEST wuxia (aside from The Untamed), although I'd argue the relationship between Word of Honor hits better and more openly BL than The Untamed. I absolutely ADORE Gong Jun. He's so expressive and beautiful, and he has the ability to shift from aloof and goofy to menacing and intimidating in 1 look. 

Excitedly anticipating him in: Legend of Anle

Xu Kai

Chinese

Where I first saw him: The Legends, Arsenal Military Academy, and Ancient Love Poetry. 

Versatile and beautiful. I love how emotive his face is, and his eyes are really unique. I loved his visuals in The Legends, and I thought his physical comedy in Arsenal Military Academy was refreshing since he typically plays stoic-faced characters. My favorite, though, is easily Ancient Love Poetry. I adored that drama. 

Excitedly anticipating him in Snow Eagle Lord. 

Chen Kun

Chinese

Where I first saw him: The Rise of Phoenixes. Ning Ye was a charismatic, mesmerizing, and sometimes morally ambiguous character. His eyes glowed like embers, and his facial expressions and dramatic antics were captivating. He could make my body shake with laughter in one moment, and cry mere seconds later.

Excitedly anticipating him in: The Wind Blows From Longxi 

Dai Xu

Chinese

Where I first saw him: The Legends. 

He's a scene-stealer in everything he's in. I hope he gets more main roles. 

Ni Ni

Chinese

Mark Chao

Taiwanese

Liu Xue Yi

Chinese

Where I first saw him: Ancient Love Poetry. 

Wang Zhuo Cheng

Vin Zhang

Chinese

Where I first saw him: Eternal Love.

Had 2nd-lead syndrome HARDDDD for him. Loved his character even more in Rattan. 

Excitedly anticipating him in: Song of The Moon

Wang Duo

Chinese

Where I first saw him: Yin-Yang Master: Dream of Eternity.

Give this gorgeous man more lead roles. He's a scene-stealer. 

Excitedly anticipating him in: A League of Nobleman, and Night Wanderer (with Deng Lun and Ni Ni!)
