Maybe his wife is his connection? Maybe she is rich?
They met when he was just starting and only got support role. Then went to Korea to train as an idol. But got an offer for lead role(Someone unknown and out of the country suddenly got an offer for lead role) and when he returned his now wife was also there to greet him and one of the casts.
He said she was his support then. Always cheering him on, telling him "at least you got lead role unlike me forever just support". And then she started taking care of his welfare, his housing , transportation and clothing and food and all.
So they started dating and later on he got his break with Tang Dynasty and she was there too and during couple promotion he admitted he has a gf and said even though she is not saying anything, he know she probably getting hurt from all the scenes.
Anyway, he has nothing bad to say to her except all goodness. Last year, even though he usually don't talk about his family and relationships. He made it clear last year that "he is a loyal man"
Anyways I do not think we should be hating him just because he refused to do kiss scenes. And if you feel cheated because the kiss scenes were mostly based on angles, again, that is something that he and the director and the actress probably agreed on. I am sure by now, these actresses knew they will never get kiss scenes.
And speaking of fake kiss scenes Shen Yuen and Jerry Yan also did fake kiss scenes. Shen Yue used a body double for the kiss. Yet no one criticized her.
And if one day he no longer gets lucky with his drama. That's life. That's how it is for actors and actresses, even those top actors who do great kiss scenes will one day be out of limelight as new comers come. So it is not good to put an insult and wish him ill and be happy with the thought of someone's downfall .
