Yang Mi named Most Disappointing Actor of 2024

12 Feb - Yang Mi's star power faced significant challenges in 2024, with the acclaimed actress being named Most Disappointing Actor of the Year by the Douban TV Group Year-end Awards.

The actress' highly anticipated drama "Fox Spirit Matchmaker: Red-Moon Pact" failed to meet expectations, with viewers criticising the plot's inconsistencies despite her pairing with popular actor Gong Jun. The series was ultimately designated as Flop Drama of the Year.

Zhang Ruoyun's "Joy of Life 2" dominated the awards, securing both Best Drama and Most Watched Drama of the Year. The sequel to the 2019 drama, which also starred Li Qin, brought additional acclaim to Zhang, who claimed Role of the Year and Actor of the Year for his portrayal of Fan Xian.

In a notable career resurgence, Wu Jinyan's performance in "The Double" emerged as the Dark Horse of the Year. Her character, Xue Fangfei, captured audiences' attention, earning a place among the top 10 Most Popular Female Characters and marking a successful comeback following previous underwhelming projects.

The setbacks for Yang Mi extended beyond television, as her other ventures in 2024 struggled to find success. Her drama "In the Name of the Brother" failed to make an impact, while her film "Nothing Can't Be Solved by a Hot Pot" performed poorly at the box office, solidifying a challenging year for the Chinese actress.
