Actors I Won't Watch
There are various factors that will make an actor very watchable, tolerable, marginal, and absolutely a No-Go 🙅🏻♀️.
Some of the No-Go is strictly based on the very shallow aspect of face-card, some is driven by industry reputation and verifiable news. And sometimes -- it's just inexplicable -- I label this as: The chemistry is just not chemistry-ing!
So with that out of the way, here is my very short list that covers the various flavors of Asian Drama Actors... primarily Chinese and Korean. No Japanese actors have managed to make it onto this list but admittedly, I don't watch as much as I do the other flavors.

Dilraba Dilmurat
Chinese
I know everyone absolutely loves her, but I think I got so pounded by the media-hype that surrounded her even before I got into watching Asian dramas, it was enough to turn me off in watching anything she is in. Yang Yang who is a face-card fav and that I would make a point to watch, has two or three dramas with DD. So hard-pass... even giving up Yang Yang.

Song Joong Ki
South Korean
Absolutely cannot stand how he treated his (now former wife) Song Hye Kyo. Divorce happens. Totally understandable, but how one goes about adult-ing is not what he did. So, he is off the island.

Zhai Yi Ying
Chinese
This is one of those inexplicable won't-watch selections. But I can assure you, the feeling is strong enough to keep me from watching Wang Yi Lei, and if you know me even a tiny bit, you know my thoughts on WYL.
[I think they have done three (?) dramas together.]

Ma Xiao Yu
Chinese
Seriously.... zero, zip, zilch.... clueless as to why the total disinterest. Just call me a renegade.... I wear that label proudly!
He is another one of those who makes chics swoon and think about doing the horizontal mambo, but not this chica. I don't click. Not even curious. And don't care what state of dishabille he may be sporting at any given moment.

Ye Hao Ran
Chinese
My newest addition to the Won't-Watch List. Whether the latest melon is true or not, his face-card is enough have me hit the back-button. Seriously, there are those out there who would throw their panties at him.... but me.... let me laugh just a little bit longer and louder.
I had previously made a comment in Chat as a caveat that I'm sure he is a nice person outside of the original issue. I officially retract that statement. No regrets!
