Has anyone ever heard of this actor or watched any of his series? I didn't know of him until I started watching Xue Hua Nu Shen Long, in which he plays the intelligent, but conflicted Sai Hua Tuo/Ouyang Ming Ri. Maybe I'm being biased here since he did play a character who's a lot like Zhuge Kongming, but this guy is a decent actor and a pretty cute one at that.
He has been praised as the next Lu Yi, but personally, I think Qiao Zhen Yu has his own unique air and style.
Here's a pic of Qiao Zhen Yu, Ju Ying, and Lu Yi:

IMO, he looks kind of like a Chinese version of Josh Hartnett here:
