In recent years, the Chinese drama market has seen the rise of a new generation of male stars, but high popularity also comes with strict scrutiny. Recently, an online poll in China for "the new generation of male stars whose dramas people least want to click on" saw several popular male idols unexpectedly make the list. Ranking 10th to 6th respectively are Zeng Shunxi, Zhang Xincheng, Song Weilong, Hou Minghao, and Deng Wei. Among them, Zeng Shunxi, Zhang Xincheng, and Song Weilong all have acclaimed works in recent years, with generally positive public opinion overall.
5th place goes to Ding Yuxi, who starred in "Eternal Night Galaxy"; in 4th place is top-tier star Wang Yibo, who has recently taken on a variety of drama genres such as "The Wind Chaser." Zhang Linghe, known for his striking appearance in historical costumes, ranks 3rd, though his acting performance often receives polarized reviews. Wang Hedi, who skyrocketed to fame with "Love Between Fairy and Devil," takes 2nd place. While he has strong ability to carry a drama, his original spoken lines and fundamental acting skills remain frequent topics of discussion.
The top spot goes to Tian Jiarui, who has been strongly supported by director Guo Jingming in recent years. Since making a name for himself with "Sword and Fairy," he quickly rose to male lead status, but as his exposure increased, some viewers felt his acting and ability to carry a drama still have room for improvement. However, this list only reflects the personal preferences of the participating netizens and does not represent the actual acting skills or market appeal of the actors.
