"The guys who steals other men's wives" (The Double, Scent of Time, SOTKP)

It is crazy this guy is only 22 years old. The most expressive eyes of C drama cinematics. True artist and performer. He dubs his characters, as he should since he really knows how to transfer emotions through language, voice, body language, facial expressions. And as many actors also do these, he on top of that has very expressive eyes. That is best shown in the scenes where he plays stoic character Duke Su (The Double, 2024) who doesn't show his feelings easily. And somehow we follow their emotional journey and we are on our toes all through the show. You just can't have enough of him. Weather its with his enemies, with his coworkers, or his best part with FL.

The Double (2024) is the only show I ever rated as a 10. It is a true unforgettable masterpiece. ML and FL chemistry, screenplay, scenography, the plot. Still can't find something not even close as good.

Also, his rating would be much higher if we excluded the rating for Your Sensibility my Destiny (2021). The drama is only watchable because of him. Whomever casted and written the characters of the FL, and 2nd FL, and 2nd ML just completely lost track of the script. FL is unwatchable. Very infantile, on the verge of being stupid as in medical terms.  That show has that high rating only because of the charisma and performance  of WXY.

In that case his average main role performance would be: 8,28 

Average main role performance: 8,04

His best rated ML performance: 8,80 (DongFang QingCang is one of the best ML ever played)

His worst rated ML performance: 7,70

Total drama in 5 years: 10, 10 out of it main roles

Guardians of The Dafeng (2024) is one of the best c dramas,  great chemistry with a total cast, not just FL. They felt like real family and friends. Jokes where so authentic, as if they were improvised and caused everyone to laugh for real. As a viewer you just feel as a part of the crew.  Amazing feeling.  LBFAD (2022) would have been at least 9,5 show if the FL was better casted. ML carried the show. The plot is literally a cliche, a trap for actors to destroy their careers, one that can easily look super cheap even with budget. Plus with the FL casted as she is. It is fit to be short series. It's something I would never watch. Maybe that was director's mishap or just actress but she could have portrayed her innocent , kind, happy, vibrant  Orchid without sacrificing basic intelligence and common sense. Also, when they swapped bodies, he not just acted as a girl he imitated FL, he even picked up those signature ticks she has. She wasn't as good in ther body swap performance. She didn't portray Wang He Di's interpretation of DongFang QingCang.  And there you could see how good he is. His performance was so good. Anger, smart, love, kind, all the layers where performed to perfection, we fall in love with him. Meteor Garden (2018), the best ML of this script and remakes. He was only 19 years old at the time. I guess he is good saving trash scenarios.  Only for Love (2023), the only modern drama I managed to complete watching. Amazing chemistry with Bai Lu.

Also how can a domineering ambiguous DongFang QingCang be also be the playful creative Xu Qi An, or an introvert smart professional Shi Yan? So cool.

10/10 entertainer, true artist and a chameleon.

Average main role performance: 8,36 (highest in C Drama Cinematics)

His  best rated ML performance: 9,00 (Ling Bu Yi, Love Like the Galaxy 2022)

His worst rated ML performance: 7,40

Total drama in 5 years: 11, 8 out of it main roles

Love Like The Galaxy 2022 and The Long Ballad 2021 are full of little moments and tricks he will make you love and feel for his character. Amidst a Snowstorm of Love 2024 is a display of everything lover should be. Red flags, green flags, doesn't matter, you will believe each of his words, you will love him, and you will not want to be his enemy. Ling Buyi, that guy is dangerous and unpredictable. And capable of settling scores like no other man in c drama. He has amazing chemistry with all his FLs. Love Like the Galaxy is a rewatch material 10/10. 

Average main role performance: 8,06 

His  best rated ML performance: 8,60 (One and Only 2021)

His worst rated ML performance: 7,40

Total drama in 5 years: 14, 14 out of it main roles. Which is the largest number of drama with main role per actor. 8 of these dramas are rated above 8,00. That is huge amount of work and talent.

My personal favourite is Love of Nirvana (2024) for several reasons. I realised powerful, superskilled, badass ML roles are hard to play. Because most of the time, I just laugh and turn of  because it seems like its fake. But not this guy, you stick to the plot with him. Alongside Wang Xing Yue and Wang He Di he is the only one to pull it of without making you feel like you're watching something cheap. Au contraire, you will find him mesmerizing, stuning, skilled, you will believe him. Also, episode 5 is must watch and rewatch. One and Only 2021 is the drama where you will cry your eyes out. and hate WXY for a long time, you will have to rewatch Duke su to forgive him. 

And yes, most of great actors use language, body language, facial expressions to portray their character. But he has very expressive eyes, he can use just his eyes and it would be enough to transfer emotion. Only him and Wang Xing Yue can do that. 

Average main role performance: 7,79

His  best rated ML performance: 8,50 (Goodbye My Princess 2019)

His worst rated ML performance: 6,40

Total drama in 5 years: 8, 8 out of it main roles

Goodybe My Princess 2019 is for sure one of the best C Dramas ever. You will find yourself thinking about for months later. That is what I consider masterpiece. He is so good at this role, you will love him, and hate him, and hate yourself for loving him. And you will totally feel for FL. 

He has to be on this list. He either has one of those roles you can't stop thinking about, or one of those you think to yourself: How could he possibly take that role?

My Boss 2024, he definitely carried the show. It was only watchable because of him, but it was one of those shows beyond saving. FL was wrongly casted and written if you ask me. Sleeping in the office, cooking stinky food in the office, she has hardly any intellect for some super ambitious guy to consider her as love interest. The best thing he could feel for her is simpathy. It is just not believable story.

Average main role performance: 8,05

His  best rated ML performance: 8,60 (Lost You Forever  2023)

His worst rated ML performance: 7,20

My personal favourite is Are you The One 2024, Wang Chu Ran and him did amazing job. Their chemistry is amazing, They delivered amazing written script

Average main role performance: 8,26 

His  best rated ML performance: 8,80 (The Best Thing 2025)

His worst rated ML performance: 7,70

Total drama in 5 years: 14, 11 out of it main roles

Personally, I don't see why is everyone crazy about this guy... I have never had drama of his leave me for days thinking about it. Maybe he is still waiting for such a role. But, he never disappoints. He was even good at Love Between fairy and Devil (2022), I personally consider his rivalry with ML better then the very chemistry between ML and FL. As a matter fact if ML didn't snatch the kiss from FL from him it wouldn't be so entertaining. Also, him in SOTKP (2023), amazing ambiguous character performance.  But as  everyone I like him the most in The Best Thing 2025. Those kind of roles are perfection for him. He is like boyfriend goals.The least of his performance is My Journey to You 2023. 

Average main role performance: 8,06

Why do women wanna get into his bathtub? (Kill Me Love Me, A Moment But Forever)

His  best rated ML performance: 8,40 (The Perfect Match 2025)

His worst rated ML performance: 5,50

Total drama in 5 years: 6, 2 out of it main roles

He is here because of his performance in The Double 2024 as Shen Yu Rong. Probably one of the best villains of all time. He could have a drama of his own, just based on that character. If you remove Duke Su, one of the best ML of all time, Shen Yu Rong is actually good potential anti hero. 

Also in Perfect Match his performance is top notch.

So keep it coming, we can see the rising star.

Average main role performance: 7,65

His  best rated ML performance: 8,10 (Falling Before Fireworks 2023)

Rising Star for sure. We are awaiting Feud 2025 with  Bai Lu. I loved him in Love of The Divine Tree.
