Hey newbie I enjoyed Da Han Tian Zi as well. About ROTCH, tbh, this was my least favorite Jin Yong's work but I surprisingly enjoyed lol. True there were a few criticism, but Jin Yong said himself that he found that ROCH 06 was his favorite version.
OH OH OH Royal tramp <3 This has become one of my top favorite Mainland Chinese TV series, mainly because DOMD is my favorite of all JY's works. HXM was indeed cute with all his interactions with Wallace. I though he acted better in DOMD 08 than in ROTCH 06. We all know that Wei Xiao Bao is a complicated and difficult character to portray because it had a lot of depth. The fact that HXM was able to portray this character in an average way is really amazing though. I mean, it is nothing compared to the older version, but it is still amazing.

Agreed about his acting becoming more natural and consistent from 2011. He did great in "The Message". I'm looking forward for his upcoming movie "Xue Di Zi". Apparently, his acting performance is going to be as great (or even better) as in "The Message". Also looking forward for his upcoming TV series "Patriot Yue Fei" with Ruby Lin <3
