A few have already mentioned in the comments below, but Li Xian's character (Xie Zhi Yao) in 'Meet Yourself' is one of the greenest flag characters.
Also, Bai Jingting's Song Yan from 'The First Frost' is another green flag missing from the list.
An honorary mention for green flag ML: Daniel Wu's Au Hoi Man in 'Love Undercover' - not a drama, but my comfort feel-good HK movie (2002) when I just want to turn off my brain and de-stress.
He's grown up so much since Joy of Life and Sword Snow Stride! His scenes with Wu Zhu and his shifu were some of my favourite scenes in JOL.
Watching him in Shine on Me right now - features are the same, just a lot taller and a much deeper voice. He might just be the next Leo Wu (Wu Lei) - going from child actor to charismatic ML in the future.
For real! I swore I thought she was Zhou Yutong until I looked at the cast list. Doppelgangers for sure, despite a nine-year (10-year? baidu shows 10-years) age gap~
It's been a quiet year for Justin; he's been working non-stop since 2018 and was either a regular or a guest on so many variety shows. Hope he's ok and that he's having a proper rest during this downtime and we'll get to see more of him in 2026.
So much adorable sweet fluff~! Loving this, just wish the episodes were longer. But seriously, this drama brings out the (many years past) teenager in me...I literally went 'kyahhhh!' watching episode 5 preview.
Why did the Prince of Langya choose to die in the end? Link: https://kisskh.at/discussions/757799-an-he-chuan/145934-blood-river-background-info-from-novel-universe-of-the-blood-of-youth-dashing-youth
To prevent the eunuchs from causing disorder and chaos in Tianqi - there was still a scroll out there that had Prince of Langya's name that shows that the previous emperor had selected him as his heir to the throne.
Already as it is, it didn't help that most people supported him to become emperor despite him not wanting to be emperor.
It was the one of the main reasons, they were turning their own An He (Dark River) assassins into these drugged…
100% agree~
Also, YDZ was the most misunderstood and unfortunate character in the series. Even here whenever everyone talk about how they teamed up to fight against him like he was some big villain, I just shake my head and roll my eyes.
Is the drugged puppet art what leads to SMY and SCH's disagreement in TBOY?
It was the one of the main reasons, they were turning their own An He (Dark River) assassins into these drugged puppets (a life no better than the living dead). Also SCH immoral dealings / partnership with the Tang Clan and Prince Chi in TBOY had caused many deaths and rife in Jianghu. *cries over Zhao Yuzhen's death*
Cheng Lei was great (and looked great with Jelly Lin!) in the Republic part of the 'Footprints of Change' 3 generation saga. Looking forward to watching him in a Republic of China setting again.
