Thanks for making a thread for him <3 

First drama that I saw with Zhang Ruoyun in it is WuXin:The Monster Killer. I was super impressed with his acting in WuXin. It was hard to not be attracted to him and see how he is acting his character. Although he was an antagonist/villain, I sympathized with his character completely and pitied his ending. At least he loved and got a response :/ 

On another note, he's the first male lead in Novaland: Castle in the Sky~ Highly recommend :D He's awesome as the arrogant first lead haha

I hope he get another similar role in ancient chinese drama, he rock that look.

I agree, I think he pulls off historical looks really well!

@elliezsnow @Farah Evana We'll have a chance with The Fated General, a serious historical vs fantasy.

My first drama of his was Black Fox--the local TV station had aired the trailer for their upcoming drama (w/ English subs, you can still catch the trailer w/ subs here) back in 2013 and with just one look I told myself I must catch the drama. I was not disappointed (the arrogance/cockiness is definitely there, plus he knows how to throw daggers!). It was only after that did I realize he had a role in Snow Leopard (also another drama the TV station aired w/ English subs months back). Then in 2014, he took over the lead role for New Snow Leopard, while his fellow Beijing Film Academy classmate (same year), Wu Chengxuan, took on his from the original Snow Leopard.

Excited for tomorrow when Sparrow makes its debut on Hunan TV.

Same! Super excited for Sparrow~ I'm going to wait for more episodes to come out before watching and hopefully by then viki will get the license for it :)))))

And yay!!!! The Fated General is probably still at the filming stages now, but cannot wait till that drama comes out!

Ohhh...Zhang Ruoyun will be singing one of the subsongs to be featured in Sparrow!

P.S. He doesn't appear in the first 2 epis. He should make his appearance in EP 3 along w/ Zhou Dong Yu based on previews. You can catch the drama on Youku and Youtube.

Lucky me! The first 2 epis are already Vietsubbed.

hi @creidesca  Thanks for making this thread!! Am such a fan of ZRY now after Wuxin, 15 years and Novoland. Agree with @elliezsnow that he was captivating in Wuxin (I am a fan of Elvis Han too but ZRY as the antagonist struck a chord in me as to how devoted he was to that Demon Girl while utterly ruthless/evil to everyone else!).

Looking forward to Sparrow but I think I am going to wait for subtitles as republican dramas can be quite talkie and I dont want to miss out on the dialogue. 

I hope he is getting the recognition he deserves after Novoland, which I believe was quite well received and the alternative episode was No.1 on Baidu when it aired (beating even the Yang Yang / Zheng Shuang drama). China has so many good actors but somehow, similar to HK, there are always a few that are preferred. 

BTW, I think it is sweet that he has a l/t relationship with Tina Tang and hopefully they stay together after both of them getting more famous and well known!

@lizzieyen Wonderful news indeed that the alternative episode was no.1 on Baidu when it aired!

And I concur on Repulic-era dramas (and this one is supposedly 60 epis!). I'm just thankful that a group was so quick to release Vietnemese subs. But I'll wait till the weekend to marathon the week's worth of episodes.

Ah...yesterday, Ruoyun was answering questions over weibo b/w 1700-1730 before the official TV broadcast of Sparrow, you can find them here (he was answering through his other weibo, Zhang Ruoyun Studio). Right after that he had to fly to the desert (I'm guessing to film for the Fated General).

Photo taken yesterday, as he waited for his flight:

I can't believe how much of a teenager he looks--and he's 28 (figures why he was able to pass off as a highschooler in Fifteen Years Waiting for Mirgatory Birds)!

Had free time, so currently watching the 2014/2015 Republic-era drama Hu Ying 狐影 and according to the opening theme credits, Ruoyun and the lead actor of the drama, Lee Zhuolin 李卓霖 (if you had watched Black Fox, Lee Zhuolin played the role of the "King of Agents" on the Japanese side), were Production Supervisors 制作监制 for the drama. Lee Zhuolin was also a graduate of Beijing Film Academy, class of 2000 (same year as actress Dong Xuan, Kelvin Cui, Guan Yue [Tong Da Wei's wife])

Hi! @creidesca ! Are you still watching sparrow ? I can't quite get past Li Yi Feng and having second male lead syndrome :) so anticipating the forensic detective show!

 

BTW, are you a fan of Deng Jia Jia too? I was looking for some info on us as I am watching 怒火英雄 (while waiting for Agent Rouge subbed episodes) and saw some old post of yours!

@lizzieyen I haven't started watching Sparrow (though I have been downloading the viet-subbed epis)--it's because I like Zhang Ruoyun so much and knowing how his character ends (doesn't help that I also don't care for Zhou Dongyu's character and Li Yi Feng's acting better left unsaid)... However, from seeing screencaps/gifs and clips, I can tell he's doing a stellar job playing Shan Hai. And just like you, I'm waiting for Medical Examiner Dr. Jin too. In the interim, I'm back to rewatching Zhang Ruoyun in Black Fox and New Snow Leoopard.

Yup! I'm a fan of Deng Jiajia...been following 怒火英雄. Tried an episode of Agent Rouge and it's not to my liking at all (too much exaggeration? even when compared to 怒火英雄, somehow 怒火英雄 seems more tolerable). Also tried an episode of 双刺 Double Thorn for Wang Ziwen, but storyline/styling seems weird.
