Just go and watch the Frozen Flowers, 10 times at least and you'll be certainly satisfied. If the chinese film-making carries on the sick line of Hollywood they will end in the toilet just like Holywood. Not everyone is prone to be a sick brainwashing, sorry.

I hope never. What's wrong with you all? Why so eager to watch a bromance? Unnatural, goes apposite to creation, goes opposite to anything normal like the promise of love with reproduction and followed blood-lines, families. Are you paid for it (SORRY) or is the world has gone completely mad? I have no issues with gay people as long as it is their intimate bedroom secret but an example to follow! I never ever want to see my favorite (man-like) attractive actors like TJC in a role of gay-guy. Please warn me in advance to be surely skip it!!!!!!!!!

I don't know but I fetched a tought that why a baby is your avatar.....

Why? Not enough handsome guy or gay around you? SORRY.

If it is a bromance, I hope it never would reach the audience. Bin it.

You are not alone, and it is not so different compared to any goverments in the wold, the most restrictive and the blue-print for everyone else - hope I won't live so long to experince a soft-chinese-take ower of the western world.
However, we were designed to have different sexes, just how most of the animals were, reproduction needs to have two different sexes - means a happy family needs to have both, girls and boys. The only thing I appreciate so far is the reluctance of projecting sick / creation-opposite materials. And I absolutely don't want to see TJC in a gay-drama, as it would nullify everything I watched and liked with him!

I started to watch Court Lady, after 3 episodes I fast forwarded, again at around 12 I would say, this is a role again which fits him well, clever, educated, good to solve problems. Shame that he is a sort of second male, these ladies back then have no taste at all. :D
.

"@Drama lover Yes, and it has been there for a while. But he just started a modern police drama, I believe."

I have a different opinion, sorry. First: why Bai Lu should have a good chemistry with girls? In real life rabbits, cats and other living things have good chemistry, never confused about sex, they attracted and mate only with the opposite sex and that't the natural and for some of us the boyslove-girlslove is still REPULSIVE as despite of the liberal brainwashing some of us still funcion normal and I don't say: sorry. Secondly Bai Lu had zero chemistry with the good actor but not-my-dream guy, 2nd male lead in Ashes of Love. Her chemistry was outstanding with ZLH (whatever was the reason). The 2nd ML in Kunning - for me - is not even a man to consider, he seriously lack of attraction, hotness, he is like Orlando Bloom, handsome but can't project even a sparkle of hotness. SORRY, try to digest, their watchers keeps them alive and earn a fortune with making movies, without our like they would be nothing. While I appreciate different taste (you like him, for me he is not something to keep me interested) you (and film makers) should consider this stuff when casting.

Tell me more.... Xiang Liu, Xiang Liu! Bromance? Really. Please warn me not to watch that. I used to have a favorite, very talented korean actor Joo Jin Mo, but after his big (agenda-dictated) success in the Frozen Flower I never ever could watch anything with him as I always remembered to that movie and ...... sorry, but NO.

Me. Or something very similar like Xie Wei (SOKP) or Deng Lung (Ashes of Love) or Timmy Xu (City of Streamer) clever, strong, able to solve everything, able to protect everyone, grey and smart enough to be successful, still have heart, good in romance, elegant in movements like Xiang Liu, not a soft puppy and so on. :)

Another modern drama, such a waste, especially that I've seen Wang Chu Ran recently in a costume drama and she was so great she outshined the otherwise very talented and handsome boy-partner of her.

:( Again? I thought he wishes to avoid the same roles again and again, why a police drama again? BTW that would be another modern chinese drama, don't get me wrong but the restrictive chinese system is absolutely not the cup of the good tea at the west and makes the dramas boring. Luckily we still live in a different world here (heading towards that direction just too fast), but still it unfolds I rather would watch him in a costume drama.

"...which is by same author of the double drama" - that would have potential, please, please.... SOKP was also a female centric drama but didn't prevent ZLH to get his best role so far to shine in it.

He probably would be great but to be honest Ji Sung was also great, outstanding in that, and his chemistry with Hwang Jung Eum was so good that I couldn't believe they were not a couple in real life. especially that they had another drama together, similarly good chemistry and a really good drama, if you haven't seen, don't miss it: Secret.
(If you like that type of stories, book is Daniel Keyes: The Fifth Sally and he wrote a couple of more similar ones.)

Again, different taste, our personal lives determines what we need to live through / replace emotionally and what we don't need, find boring. Also time is limited, as chinese dramas are rather long, I have to choose carefully and wish to choose those ones which helps me get through the days like flying away in mind for a couple of hours.
No offense, there is not so handsome or talented guy in this world who could entertain me if the script, character, etc is boring (to my taste) or the drama is dragged or one of the actor / actress is annyoing till the level I can't live 'in the drama'.

Watch how many cry back Xiang Liu! A bunch of people. How many cry back Yuan Mo? Or the voice guy? We need heros to dream. :)
Also personal that I don't like modern chinese dramas AT ALL, too restrictive content because of it their chatting is boring as they couldn't mention / discuss a bunch of things. I see propaganda in every 'corner', thank you but no.

What I sorry that they didn't let him sing in LYF, I watched the videos where he sang and was perfect, Yang Zi also.

Don't take it personal offense please, we are all different and as I wrote in another comment, I am too old for that type of boring (to me), fluffy day-dreaming and was different even when I was young. I mean I would have found that drama boring even back then.

I highly appreciate the rest of your comment, thank you, you said good stuff. As the written drama, I just realized while reading it that I really really didn't like Xiao Liu personality, she is a passive agressive type ('I am heartless with everyone and most heartless with myself' - lol what's the point) and if she wouldn't have been, she could have ended with Xiang Liu ('who would you like to spend your life with the most?' - this question makes no sense if I am not interested desperatelly in the answer). Anyway, probably the translation is also a problem, it is not the first drama I tried ro read and didn't like, felt similarly when reading SOKP (I realized that the ML was a sado type which is repulsive, the drama version made it milder) and also felt that the drama (language, to express things) was poor.

I saw STK, I found him good in that role, too but didn't remember him later, didn't even recognized that XL and CP was played by the same actor. He didn't 'stayed with me', XL' character did. Girls love stong, smart, able-to-solve, able-to-save type heros or at least I love them. :) Personal weak point probably. :)

Yes, he has a very nice voice, deep and mesmerizing. However pls forgive me, it is probably the age gap, but I am a bit too old to watch fluffy stuff just for a handsome (another handsome as there are many) boy. If I want to know what their life would be after 20+ years marrige, I don't watch dramas just look around in my own life. Some people like me watches these dramas beause of boredom and to run away from the everyday life, age of course determines that what you need or find boring. I prefer dramas, with intelligent plots if possible and strong / matured / complex emotions but 30 hours of mostly daydreaming like the love of a mentally 14 years old girl is not for me. Did they speak about anything else but food and songs at all? I mean in real life there are many topics to discuss politics, science, but somehow only costume dramas could (allowed?) to do that.
Apart from the Secrets of the Three Kingdoms (he was also great in that but I suffered a bit because of the humiliating behaviour to help him survive and win) he didn't appear in other strong costume dramas, not really, Go East was rather a comedy and I couldn't feel anything, not even their romance due to the annoying FL. That drama best part was the sarcasm of how corrupt officials can be back then and now or how religions can be used to fool people (dropped around that part).
I think actors and actresses usually - if lucky - has a role where they can really shine and fits them to best. Like - if you saw - Yoo Yeon Seok in Mr Sunshine or Zhang Ling He in Story of the Kunning Palace or Timmy Xu in City of Streamer, true for Jing Tian, too (best role of her so far). Because of it I see no harm if they would accept similar roles to make another sparkling drama which stays with the watchers for months, to shine big again. He definitely has the potentional to carry something more serious and outstanding role and shine in it just how he shined as Xiang Liu. I think after an age he will lost the chance of this type of roles, so I really hope to see him again before that happens.

Hurts my intelligence, dropped around 14th.

True. He acts very well but the masterpiece was the character of Xiang Liu. Because of his dancer background he could put force into his movement, watch his hands, such elegant movements projecting emotions and strenght perfectly, recognisable from latin dance where they express emotions with their bodies / movements. Was an absolute hit, no one could have played XL as well as he did. He carried that drama. I tried to read the novel but gave up, felt so bored around the 'you are a princess' part with no XL around and didn't like the personality of Xiao Liu, was worse than it was in the drama, fox was a puppy and nothing more but a cute but bored-me-to-death puppy. Or the translation was poor, not able to give back the original Chinese (meaning)?
I so hope I can see TJC in a custom drama again where he is some kind of super-hero / demon / super clever with strength, whatever and absoltuely grey but a disney-like good boy / bad boy. He got me hooked. Since then whatever I tried to watch with him, I ended up bored despite of his super good acting skill. Go East, didn't like the female lead, was irritating and while TJC is good in funny situations, the elegant 'super-man' role with romance / flirting involved fits him better. Under the Skin is not my cup of tea but I'll try again when in the mood. Love my Voice was super-boring, maybe worked for someone around 14 but I doubt considering a 14 yrs old with a healthy level of brain and day-dreaming.
Please find a role similar to XL's or 'palace-hero-with-brain' in an INTELLIGENT drama if you can. Still hooked to Lost you Forever, don't know why, apart from XL, while the actors perfomance were great (saved the poor novel), XL / FFB carried that show and made it unforgettable. Thank you!
