C-actor Wu Lei Looks Charmingly Boy Band-esque in Recent New Look at Brand Events
The decreased C-drama production this year means that the pickiest of stars will be back on the small screen even more infrequently, and one of them is actor Wu Lei. At least he’s left me two dramas I can rewatch in Love Like the Galaxy and Amidst a Snowstorm of Love so that it’s not entirely fallow ground. It’s also nice to see him recently active in brand and promo events, and he’s looking very fresh and younger with the lighter hair color and a boy band-esque styling that his still young age of 26 years old since he’s been a child actor in the industry for twenty years and everyone thinks he’s older than he really is. I hope he comes back soon with a great drama project whether modern or period, and unlike others I actually quite enjoy his brand of eye stare intensity in romances haha.
Wow, we have quite opposite opinions of Wu Lei in some ways. I actually feel like this look ages him in a terrible way. And I dislike his eye stare intensity – which comes off like a bad acting choice to me. I do hope he will come back in a period drama. He has the gravitas for it.
He does look like he is on tour to sing lol. Especially the all white outfit. I don’t like him in romance though. Love like the galaxy and the ballad dramas are the only ones where the romance did not seem to matter cause plot was more interesting. His stare needs some work though and then it would be smooth sailing. It comes off so creepy lol
I’ve never been a fan of his acting or his looks, but he was definitely the exception in Love Like the Galaxy. Rewatching Amidst a Snowstorm of Love, though? No way! All I remember are his suffocating, deer-in-the-headlights stares. If someone looked at me like that in real life, I’d call the police immediately! lol
Haha, yeah his stares do come across as kinda creepy! Luckily he has good looks that helps sugar coat it a little. I do like him better in historicals vs romances.
His entire acting boils down to staring. It’s why I will always maintain he needs to stick to roles of warriors and similar because that’s the only place where his “acting” passes.
Amidst a snowstorm of love? Koala you gotta be kidding lol. Between his stalker-esque 10 second stares at the FL and the FL’s squeamish, scared rabbit behaviour, I can’t even like this show. the plot is also sooo dull.
Haha, looks like many of us share the same opinion about his stares. I thought I was being irrational by feeling uncomfortable with his intense stares in AASOL. I was initially annoyed at ZJM’s character for always trying to avoid his hugs and kisses but since he kept staring at her in that stalker way, no wonder she kept trying to evade him. His character is generally viewed as a green flag and I know they still have some CP fans, but yeah–the stares were uncomfortable.
I’m late to the party and just started watching Love Like the Galaxy. Let’s see if he’s less creepy there.
