Destiny's Favorite Chinese Actors

My ultimate stan, hands down. I'll watch anything he does, period.

EDIT 2025: He just keeps getting better! 

Watch: The Untamed , The Oath of Love , The Longest Promise, Legend of Zang Hai   Movie: Legend of the Condor Heroes: The Gallants
Waiting For:   Movie: De Xian Jin Zhi  Drama: Spying 

Although I saw Vanness in a drama first, Weilong captured my heart with his vibrancy and good looks. I've watched everything he's in, including movies.  
EDIT 2025: His knockout performance in Go Ahead was his jumping off point into the stratosphere.  He keeps getting better. 

Watch: Find Yourself , Go Ahead , A League Of Nobleman, The Bionic Life
Waiting For:  Shine On Me,  Love For You 

From the very beginning, he was a leading man to me.
2025 EDIT: Watching him in two of 2024's best drama's Melody of Golden Age and Love Game In Eastern Fantasy, he's gotten even better!  Keep watching him.  

Watch: White Cat Legend, Melody of Golden Age,  Love Game In Eastern Fantasy, Black and White Forest 
Waiting For: Southern Anecdote, Fight For Love

From Handsome Siblings to Hidden Love to The White Olive Tree, Chen Zheyuan's force as an actor can't denied.  Keep watching.

Watch: Handsome Siblings,  Hidden Love, Dark Night And Dawn,  The White Olive Tree 

Waiting For: Fated Hearts,  Light The Dark 

If you really love Yunxi, please watch the sweet The Spring Of My Life  with Tan Songyun. It's his only movie role.

Watch: Ashes of Love , Love Is Sweet , Broker, Till The End of The Moon     

Waiting For: Immortality,  The Truth Within, Whispers of Fate, Shadow Punisher

His acting is amazing! I've watched him in so many things, and he never disappoints!

Watch: Go Ahead, Skate Into Love, Tender Light,
Waiting For:  Nirvana in Fire 3, Coming To Myself, Southern Anecdote, The Stars

Although he's newer to me on the radar, he's been working a while. I want to see more of his dramas and movies.
EDIT 2025: If you've seen Lost You Forever, you know this was one of his best roles so far.  Filter is not a favorite of mine, but to each his own.

Watch:  Under the Skin, Are You Safe ,  Lost You Forever,  Love Me, Love My Voice
Waiting For:  Detective of Nan Luo,  Love Has Fireworks

Although I've only watched him in The Story of Pearl Girl, I've listened his voice for years.  He sings on some fabulous dramas such as: Skate Into Love, Word of Honor,  Till The End of The Moon, Love Between Fairy and Devil, The Starry Love  and others.   See here: OST Songs By Liu Yuning

Watch: A Journey To Love, The Story Of Pearl Girl, The Prisoner Of Beauty  

Waiting For: A Dream Within A Dream, About Love, Limitless Skies 

He's also an actor to watch. He's been in two great dramas this year, with more to come!           

EDIT 2025: I always knew he'd be a leading man, Blossom proves this point.

Watch:  The Oath of Love, Love Like the Galaxy: Part 1, Love Like the Galaxy: Part 2,  Blossom
Waiting For: Rebirth, Dazzling, Tigers Sniff The Rose 

Wu Lei grew up to be a leading man, period. With his good looks and supreme acting skills, he will be a leading man for years to come, in my humble opinion.

Watch: Fights Break Sphere: Season 1, The Long Ballad, Love Like the Galaxy: Part 1, Love Like the Galaxy: Part 2, Our Times 
Waiting For:  Fox Spirit Matchmaker: Wang Quan, Nothing But You, Her Little Dimples 

Another actor more than 5 years from debut, he is another person that I find intense, yet beautiful in his performances. I'm hoping he will be a lead actor soon too! He almost stole the show for me in "And The Winner Is Love!"

Watch: The King’s Avatar, The Romance of Tiger and Rose, And the Winner Is Love 
Waiting For: Immortality,  The Love Of Hypnosis,  Jin Zhao Yu Zui,  Zhuo Qing

With his debut over 10 years ago, he's had some amazing supporting roles already! I believe he will be a leading man soon enough! To find him:

Watch:   Lie to Love, Love Like the Galaxy: Part 1, Love Like the Galaxy: Part 2,  The Journey Of Chongzi,  As Beautiful As You,  Movie: The Living Dead  
Waiting For: The Princess's Gambit, Love Beyond The Grave

What's happened to Zhehan is a travesty. While the Chinese population isn't watching him, the rest of the world is! Your loss!

Watch: Legend of Yun Xi , The Blooms at Ruyi Pavilion, Word of Honor  besides others he's done in a supporting role. He's wonderful in Wuxia/Xianxia dramas!
Waiting For: The Second Sight Fall in Love, Retro Detective, Castle in the Time, Zhao Ge 

I haven't seen him in anything comedic yet, but his costume dramas are wonderfully done. Not bad for someone who started out as an electrical engineer!  

Watch: Maiden Holmes,  Love Between Fairy And Devil, My Journey To You,  Story Of Kunning Palace

Waiting For: Zhu Yu,  Overdo

He wasn't on my radar until Lost You Forever.  I was stunned by his performance.  You can bet I'll be watching him now.

Watch: Lost You Forever, Lost You Forever, Season 2, Fantastic Doctors 

Waiting For:  Nirvana in Fire, Season 3

He's a newer actor that I thought was much older than he is.  I saw him first in Story of Kunning Palace.  He just came out of nowhere for me!

Watch: Story of Kunning Palace, The Double,  Amidst A Snowstorm of Love

Waiting For: Perfect Match,  Shadow Detective, Love In Red Dust, Unveil: Jadewind

Vin can also be a very intense actor.  I'd like to see him in more rom-coms. 

Watch: The King's Woman,  Rattan,  A Romance of the Little Forest,  The Blossoming Love  

Waiting For:  Light Beyond The Road, Eight Strange Cases of the Republic

He is one of the most emotional actors you will see on screen.  Be warned, some of his dramas are intense to watch! One of my favorites and a delight to watch!
Watch: The Princess Wei Young, The Way We Were, Royal Nirvana, The Story of Xing Fu, The Long River 
Waiting For: Mao Pai Nu Shen, Brave New World

He was the first guy I lovedin Chinese dramas, so had to put him here.

Watch: Meteor Garden,  The Princess Wei Young, Autumn's Concerto  among others.
He does plenty of TV and movies, but my heart will always be in his dramas.

Although he may not be as respected as he should be in China and it takes a while for his dramas to air,  I find him intense and loveable as an actor.

Watch: Let's Go Watch Meteor Shower, Let's Watch the Meteor Shower Again, Boss & Me,Sunshine of My Life 
Waiting For: Saker Falco, The Rhapsody of a Summer Dream , Braveness of the Ming, Stay Young Stay Passion 

For me Dou Xiao is a bit fluffier, although I've had my "tear-jerker" moments with him. His voice gets overdubbed a lot, but hoping they'll use his voice more often now.  I hope he continues to shine!

Watch: Princess Agents, See You Again, The Legend of Xiao Chuo, Tears in Heaven, Love in Flames of War 
Waiting For: Movie: The Legend of Sun and Moon
