You have no obligation to change your mind and are entitled to your opinion.
But, a couple of years ago, he was the victim of a pretty vicious smear campaign. He was attacked for almost everything (all debunked and spurious), except his acting. There is near unanimity about his approach and dedication to fleshing out his characters. You should see his villain role in "One and Only". He played Liu Zixing when he was just 19.
Ohhh, this would be awesome. I would LOVE to see him in this. He has a tonne of talent that should be used in…
Yes, I hope he gets quality teams and scripts, regardless of genre. Good actors always lean towards good scripts and strong characters, so almost anything he's in is likely to be good.
Ohhh, this would be awesome. I would LOVE to see him in this. He has a tonne of talent that should be used in…
I really don't get why romance is such a benchmark. If this is another detective drama, his fans might consider that WXY wants to do these. He's consistently picked roles that are complex and unconventional, even in romance (though I don't know if "Confession" falls in that category). His upcoming "Love in Red Dust" may be a romance, but he plays a deaf prince--the challenge is in playing a hearing-impaired character, not in the romance.
He clearly wants more "Bao Hu"-style work that challenges him
iQiyi announced that as of March 2026, Shadow Detective earned 6.57 million in profit so far. Congratulations…
Ohhh, this would be awesome. I would LOVE to see him in this. He has a tonne of talent that should be used in epics and thrillers and in film (why isn't he in films???). I really hope this is true.
I wanna see him in a non-historical, non-romance drama. A dark psychological thriller or action drama.
"Just Fight/Bao Hu" is a thriller - modern day crime and drug trafficking. Really looking forward to it, but I understand it won't come out until next year. I think he'd be great in those and I agree with you wholeheartedly.
I can tell you what #WangXingyue doesn’t have: No wealthy family. No relatives in the industry — no “second-generation” shortcut. No idol background. No trainee-idol system behind him. No modeling career to ease the way. No powerful capital backing him. No perfect agency/agent shielding him from every misstep.
If today he’s offered scripts others would fight for, it’s because of his talent and his work. If production teams look for him and platforms are willing to invest in him — even bringing shelved dramas back to life — it’s because he delivers.
He left his hometown at 15 and went alone to Beijing to chase a dream. He was admitted to one of China’s most prestigious acting academies - Performance Department of the Central Academy of Drama in Beijing - and graduated at 19.
No shortcuts. Just ability, discipline and countless quiet sacrifices.
Pure talent, yes — but also courage, persistence, discipline and many sleepless nights no one saw.
And his endorsements follow the same path — earned, not given.
Wang Xing Yue- I’ve seen him in some works, and honestly, he’s a very bad actor and quite unattractive. He…
Lol! (to continue the trend)
This is the actor who made the gentle, nerdy Xiao Huaijin sexy. This is the actor who made Duke Su, with less than 10 mins of screen time per episode, the hottest character in The Double. This is the actor who made the cold as ice Meng Xiaodong the most interesting character in someone else's love story! You do have bad taste if you think this man's stunning bone structure is unattractive. But his sex appeal (of which he has a problematic amount given his youth) is secondary to his undeniable acting skills and beautiful voice. Watch him in "The Wanted Detective" to see just how good he is.
I also wanted to add, I believe they had to cut this down from 40 episodes to 34, which means around four and half HOURS of content had to be removed. The result was a sloppy, badly explained ending. The show sidelined the smartest man in the capital just to make this a 'female-centric' show. And, everything Li Peiyi had learned over the course of the show was completely forgotten as she went on to plan and execute TWO revenge plans completely on her own. Then, the heroes just randomly got back together without any reflection or apology, just completely killing the relationship. It was very unsatisfactory. If it wasn't for the ending, this would have been a stronger show.
yes, he really comes across as level-headed in his interviews (I remember after The Double he said people were…
More than level-headed, his philosophy for life and approach to acting are highly sophisticated for such a young person. I get the urge to protect that pure inner self.
Read his interview in Harper's Bazaar. I used Google Translate so I might have missed tons of nuance, but even without it, Wang Xingyue is a shining light in a treacherous world. His understanding of the ugliness of the entertainment industry should have made him cynical and jaded. But he remains pure and bright, focused on his art rather than on fame.
I'm beginning to understand his appeal and it has almost nothing to do with his to-die-for bone structure.
his agency is the same as Bai Lu's so it's normal for actors under the same agency to audition for the same dramas.…
Yet, he has a well of inner strength and persistence to survive, thus far, a brutal industry. His sensitivity makes his fan protective of him, which is a very good thing because those fans are fiercely loyal.
The Wanted Detective, for me it's fantastic, I'd say it's also underrated, I even like it more than Jadewind
Me too, though it's a completely different vibe than Jadewind. TWD is more of a classic whodunit along the lines of Agatha Christie/Conan Doyle. And I absolutely cannot decide whether I prefer Xiao Beiming or Xiao Huaijin. They're both brilliant.

And kudos to Shadow Detective.

I am looking forward to Bao Hu more than anything else. Why would iQIYI go bankrupt??? Hopefully not before Bao Hu drops!!
