It's not really pidgeon holing him into one type, the drama (plot, serving) is bad, poor, childish no matter who would be the male lead. I emphasized the Kunning only because I saw him in more dramas, he is good to be hilarious (Fox Spirit or the human part of Love Between Fairy) but Xie Wei was his big role and he played it perfecly. I saw him first in Love Between Fairy, I found him to be a good new actor but I didn't remember his name and didn't try to find other dramas with him only because of that role. The rest of dramas with him were weak dramas including the My Journey, except the Kunning but that was a well written and well served story with believable and intelligent characters.
I rephrase then, I wish there would be more intelligent dramas with well built characters and plot to give the possibilty to the actors to shine. Now who knows how long we have to wait for another one, especially that the system is cruel, Deng Lun was also outstanding in Ashes of Love but disappeared.
Sorry for the long comment, the more I think about it, the more I find that the problem is the drama itself and the director, screenwriter, desing. I also realized that I liked most of the dramas made by the director of Kunning, his work is the closest to my cup of tea, I hope he will work again with him.
The other thing is the charisma, most male actors today are pretty with a strong feminin edge, there is just a handful of guys who are different, Deng Lun, ZLH, Darren Wang (The Wolf), or most recently Tan Jian Ci (Lost You Forever), these actors have the charisma I prefer if I watch a drama to help me "run away" but they still need a good story and director to play well.

In my opinion because they mixed poor comedy - at least it is very poor but funny to me, and drama, tragedy. Either this or that, the both without careful balance don't work together. Who should be dangerous puppet or person is rather formed to look to be a cutie. Eg. scorpion and the bugs or the little monster in the FL. (I hope it doesn't count as spoiler.) It's like a tale for children before bed. As the emotions can't reach you (or at least they can't reach me) the overall effect is that it is absolutely boring. Will be better a bit after 10. But just a bit. Some mentioned Ashes of Love (eternal favorite of mine), this is not even close, there they mixed the comedy well with the drama, danger, tragedy parts, the caracters were well built and the script was rarely boring. I think some of us just want an emotional roller-coster. The main actors are good and talented but can't save the poor script, and poor serving of the rest.

Childish. Honestly I constantly lost focus while watching the first 6-8 episodes, I couldn't feel with or even interested in the characters. I absolutely love ML since the Kunning and really liked FL in The City of Streamer, both are talented actors, a waste. The other thing is that FL doesn't suit to this role, not because of the age gap, she looks young but she has a matured aura, trying to be cute and innocent, even silly is just not for her. The plot is simply weird, it is as if an AI would write the script based on pieces of "this is what people like" then would put these pieces into a pot, stirred. I can't feel the drama, the love, nothing, I can't even focus. However some parts after 10 were better and more interesting, I carried on watching because of the ML. Let's hope it will be better later. I so wish he would get roles in more political, more intelligent dramas instead of being either a puppy (TPR) or forced to be into a childish plot. It's for 14 years old and below. Xie Wei fits him the best, he was outstanding in that.
