Chen Xingxu is following in Yang Yang's footsteps, having his spotlight stolen by the supporting actor Da Xu.

On the popularity ranking of actors currently starring in airing dramas, Da Xu's name unexpectedly rose to the top, far surpassing the male lead Chen Xing Xu in the drama "Yue Xi," leaving netizens bewildered. Could the scenario with Yang Yang be repeating itself?

Recently, the TV drama "Yue Xi," starring Chen Xingxu and Lu Yuxiao, quickly garnered significant attention from viewers. From the very first episodes, the series created a buzz thanks to the attractive appearance and solid chemistry between the lead actors. However, alongside the praise, many opinions suggest that the series still suffers from shortcomings in its pacing, script, and plot development, especially the awkward "chemistry" between the main couple, which has left viewers feeling disappointed.

Amidst public controversy, a series of posts emerged suggesting that the male lead, Chen Xingxu, was being overshadowed by the supporting male character. In just a few minutes of screen time, the character of CEO Pei, played by actor Dai Xu, quickly became the center of attention. The scene in the elevator where the CEO enters, with everyone bowing except for the female lead who coldly ignores him, immediately evoked a familiar trope from romance novels.

It's worth noting that with such a novelistic setting, if the actor doesn't handle it skillfully, it can easily feel overly sentimental. However, with just a slight smile and a fleeting, mischievous glint in his eyes, Dai Xu portrays the character of CEO Bui as profound and powerful, exuding the aura of a "top-tier CEO" without needing exaggerated dialogue.

Perhaps it was Da Xu's inherent rugged good looks and refined demeanor that made the character so captivating. Standing next to Lu Yu Xiao, with her innocent and pure charm, the chemistry between the two became even more apparent. Many viewers admitted that after just a few episodes, they were drawn to this couple, even overshadowing the main romantic storyline.

In the film, Chen Xingxu exudes a domineering and cold demeanor, while Da Xu gives off the vibe of a CEO who is both charming and arrogant. Da Xu's appearance may not conform to mainstream aesthetic standards, but he possesses a unique kind of charisma – something many viewers call "gender tension."

This led to him being compared to Wei Daxun's "Meng Yanshen" in the 2023 drama "My World of Smoke and Fire." At that time, the male lead, Song Yan, played by Yang Yang, was also overshadowed by the supporting character Meng Yanshen. After the drama, Wei Daxun rose to the top while Yang Yang's reputation plummeted. People worried that the heartbreaking "scenario" that happened to Yang Yang years ago would repeat itself with Chen Xingxu.

Looking back at his career, Dai Xu is not an unfamiliar name to fans of Chinese dramas. He left his mark in "Dream of the Flower Kingdom" as Chi Ya Nei, and in "Zhao Yao" as Jiang Yu. These are two characters with completely opposite personalities. One is a playboy but kind-hearted, while the other is an arrogant, wicked man with a edgy appearance. This versatility shows the actor's remarkable ability to "transform."

However, it wasn't until 2025 that Dai Xu took on his first leading role in the TV series "Wen Xiang Ji". His popularity isn't high; he rarely appears on the red carpet or creates trending topics. At 36, he still maintains good looks, his appearance hasn't deteriorated, and he even has a more mature demeanor compared to younger actors today.
