My Favourite male CDrama Actors
A list of my favourite CDrama Harem////// ... actors as of June 2022.
In a very rough order that's totally subjective to change depending on the weather, day of the week or my mood! :D
I'll do one for the women one day...Which will probably be *much* shorter, because lets face it, I mostly watch these for the super hawt men!!!
I have a weak spot for Wuxia/Xianxia/XuanHuan series. Gorgeously talented men, in beautiful robes trying to kill each other with shiny swords is like candy for me.

Zhang Ruo Yun
Chinees
Zhang Ruo Yun never fails to hold your attention on screen.
He's best playing chatty, witty hyper competent types ala Joy of Life, or Sword Snow Stride.
But if you like your ice cold intellectuals as well, then check him out in Medical Examiner Dr. Qin

Neo Hou
Chinees
Another one for the too young to be this good list Huo Ming Hao. First saw him in the republicn era Psych-Hunter, with it's twisty turny mindgames and divisive ending. Then picked up the modern relic hunter role of Wu Xie role in The Lost Tomb 2, then into the fluffy, floaty robes romance of A Girl Like Me.

Leo Wu
Chinees
Far too young to be this good. He's adorable as the teenage martial genius in Nirvana in Fire with Hu Ge, then excellent in the lead in Fights Break Sphere: Season 1, The Long Ballad or Tomb of the Sea.

Luo Yun Xi
Chinees
When you need someone to be devestatingly pretty and float around the scenery like gravity doesn't touch him, then Yun Xi is the man for you. Whether its the brilliant, tortured and machiavellian Prince in Ashes of Love, or the King in Princess Silver, or a more modern romantic in Love Is Sweet he's always worth watching.

Chen Xing Xu
Chinees
Amazing actor first caught my eye in Goodbye, My Princess. Then absolutely stole the show in The Starry Love. Best heard with his own sweet deep purry voice!!!
Not sure how I'm going to survive him and Luke Chen in the BL series Guardians of the Lands !!

Li Xian
Chinees
First saw Li Xian in Tientsin Mystic with its brilliant republican era detective series. Then playing fire to Zhang Ruo Yun's ice in Medical Examiner Dr. Qin. He was gorgeous in floaty robes in the xianxia Sword Dynasty, then dead sexy as a modern gamer for Go Go Squid!

Mark Chao
Taiwanees
Look I do like my Gods of War/Crown Prince twinsomes...Eternal Love serves it all up.
Or playing the wise cracking smartarse opposite Deng Lun in The Yin-Yang Master: Dream of Eternity.
Or a sarcastic warrior playing nanny to a whiteboi 'hero' in The Warrior's Gate. Only watch it for Mark, and Ni Ni!

Deng Lun
Chinees
I kinda want to see more of him as a bad boy ala the Fox demon in Investiture of the Gods(a very ordinary series otherwise), but baby Phoenix is still a fav from Ashes of Love.
Or the stiff, stubborn Boya in The Yin-Yang Master: Dream of Eternity.

Elvis Han
Chinees
Wu Xin: The Monster Killer is where Elvis first caught my eye in the monster hunter republican era drama. Then caught him opposite Hu Ge in the delightful modern romance Good Time. That lead me to Chinese Paladin 5 which is a delightful xianxia series that's surprisingly good, albeit very cheesy at times.

Qin Jun Jie
Chinees
Watching him in Side Story of Fox Volant rapidly bumped QJJ up into my top 10 for this list. He's been fantastic eye candy as secondary characters in past series, but he excelled as the lead Hu Fei in Fox Volant!

Liu Yi Chang
Chinees
Liu Yi Chang in I've Fallen For You (2020) is delightful. He plays opposite Yu Shu Xin (Esther Yu) and holds his own against her ulta sweet and bubbly personality. Definitely one to watch out for I think!

Merxat
Chinees
Merxat Yalkun definitely needs more Leading Man roles. He's usually playing a devastatingly good second ML such as in Legend of Yunxi, The Moon Brightens For You, Falling Into Your Smile, or My Sassy Princess. Then there's his only lead role (so far) in the tragic For Married Doctress .
