He rose in fame when he took on a co-starring role in the idol-drama, Autumn's Concerto (2009), followed by such dramas as Jhong Wu Yan (2010), and Local Hero (2011). In all, he was praised for his fresh, natural yet tense style with the ability to portray diverse characters.

After taking a break, Chris is again dating his "The Perfect Match" co-star Ivy Shao.
