I know, right? I always come back to this interview. ^^

Sounds like perfect timing. :) I'm happy to hear that you liked him in Granting You a Dreamlike Life.

I think I'm removing the drama from my list then. It looked good but I'm not fond of evil second lead females. Have a lot more promising dramas. ^^
Thanks, you helped me not wasting time on this. :)

I feel you. Which human being cares how an ant feels? We need more people with such humble and kind personality traits. ^^
If you haven't seen the interview "Zhu Yilong Answers Fan Questions - With Puppies!" on Youtube, I highly recommend it. He's so cute with the puppies.

Oh joy. xD She is also in My Fantastic Mrs Right and getting on my nerves there. Not sure if I'm willing to torture myself further. xD
Thanks for telling me.

I can't complain about his script choices, before Guardian he did not have much of a choice and he said he has more scripts to chose from by now and I like his projects. Reunion was a good drama for example. To Dear Myself does not include any blood-spitting as far as I know. The drama was even advertised in China with "no blood". xD
Not sure about My True Friend but I haven't seen any screenshot with him having blood anywhere so I consider it a good sign. I totally understand what you mean though. :)
His photobook is indeed very beautiful. No wonder the first press edition was sold out so quickly. I received mine a couple weeks ago and love it. ^^

You should definitely give Guardian a try. He's great in the drama. :)

Thank you, Cho Na! Royal Sister Returns has finally english subs. I'll give it a rewatch later. Their first meeting was really extraordinary. xD

Thank you! I'm also happy to see he gets more fans and recognition. ^^

Thank you! :)

Seeing the upcoming Guardian movie it feels strange to know a different actor will play Shen Wei. Zhu Yilong didn't have much roles to choose from, once he gained popularity it got better. He chooses his roles by the production crew first, then the script and character development. A rom-com or modern romance drama with a happy end would be appreciated by me though. xD Right now I'm looking forward to his role of Lin Nan Sheng in The Rebel. It looks quite interesting. ^^

Thank you for sharing your experience. I'm happy you discovered him. I'm on my third rewatch for Guardian. I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to move on from this drama. ^^

Thank you! :D II know him for 2 years now but before writing the article I still felt insecure. lol
Thank you for sharing the extra trivia.
Granting You a Dreamlike Life is not the best drama I agree, but Yilong' character of Luo Fusheng has a charm you can't resist. ^^
I have already high respect that he learned to play violin for the drama, I don't expect he mastered the instrument when professionals learn it for years. xD

Thank you! I hope my article helps a bit in making others notice him and check out his projects. ^^

Thank you for reading. :) Guardian caused such a hype that even I noticed it and I was taking a break from dramas at this time, still it reached me and I'm so glad it did. :)
I also wish he has more popularity and success internationally. More and more of his (older) projects get english subs which is a big help. I'll keep watching his progress for sure and I hope he stays true to his humble self. It makes him stand out. :)

Yes, he's like a chameleon. xD I hope you enjoy Guardian. Have fun! :)

What I've seen from his character Qi Heng so far makes me wholeheartedly agree with you though I also have to admit that he left a huge impression as Shen Wei to me.
His portrayal of Wu Xie in Reunion: The Sound of the Providence is also a favorite of mine. As well as his name companion Hua Wu Xie from As Flowers Fade and Fly Across the Sky. It's heart to decide on one favorite character because he plays them all so well and each is special on its own.

Haha I know what you mean. In Japan, South Korea and other Asian countries it's pretty common though to have the blood type in the bio and a lot of people know their blood type as they take this quite seriously. It can be compared to how strongly some people believe in Zodiac signs.
Each blood type is said to be related to a certain personality type. I find it interesting though I'm not sure if this is really reliable. ^^
According to a quick search the types are like this:
Type A is said to be kind, compassionate, loyal, sensitive, calm and idealistic.
Type B is friendly, outgoing, energetic, spontaneous and expressive.
Type AB is creative, spontaneous, outgoing, adaptable and a problem solver.
Type O is said to be practical, determined, organized, responsible and objective.
I'm happy you enjoyed my article. :)

I have yet to watch him in Story of Ming Lan but only heard good things about this drama. He gained some weight for his role of Qi Heng because he found his cheeks too skinny/sunken in and thought his role as a noble should have a healthy/softer appearance since a noble would have enough food. I was surprised to read how much he cares about every detail of his character. I hope you enjoy his other projects. :)
