Most Type-Casted Chinese Actors

As much as I love certain Chinese actors for their known acting persona or screen presence, I do personally wish to see them play more diverse roles.

These are some of the female / male actors I enjoy watching, but think they play the same role in many C-dramas.

Some female actresses - The same bubbly & bright, naive and at times a damsel in distress. More often than not, not the smartest tool in the shed type of character.

Some male actresses - Cold, manipulative & scheming. Or bright but clueless. Or the typical 'troupe' domineering CEO. Most of the time the silent sacrificial / suffering lover.

*Disclaimer: Not advocating any hate towards these actors. Simply wish to see them play more diverse & challenging roles as a fan.
