I knew Deng Wei from TTEOTM and Yang Zi from Ashes of Love, The Young Emperor Kang Xi and The Legend of Xiao Zhuang when she was a child actor.
TJC - I watched one of his dramas, Under The Skin (2022) but dropped it for unknown reasons that I don't even know!
Zhang Wan Yi - this is his first drama I watched. I checked out on The Bond (2021) after watching Episode 2 of LYF. He's an amazing actor. No wonder the casting director chose him to play Chang Xuan as the character is cold, reserved and ruthless but loving when it comes to Xiao Yao.
ZWY showed really good acting skills. I like to see him more as hero than a romantic character, not a good lover boy look. With TJC, I saw his modern dramas, but to me he should choose costume drama the most. He just flourished in it to me. It just fits him perfectly, costumes, hair, …in modern dramas he is good, but less appealing and is just a Boy look. On DW, I can see him better in costume drama both good or villain character can fit him well. He just need to show his witty personality in either character.
