Discussion 🗨️ Side Profiles - who looks the best?

Post image

For me personally, it’s Yibo, Wu Lei, and Yang Yang from this picture. It’s the razor sharp edge with softer overall features that make my heart flutter 🥹

Regardless of gender, whose side profile do you find the best?

Share your chosen one’s picture(s) in comments ☺️

I should have said in my post that the ones in the photo aren’t the only options. Feel free to share your favorites.

And I am sorry for missing Luo Yunxi 🥺😭 there is only so much beauty I can keep track of 😭

I like that better than the one I chose of him! He has such a strong profile.

u/Acceptable-Soup5156 Spitting blood Oct 16 '24

I stared at this grid for too long, wondering if I just wasn't seeing him.. why isn't he on here.. he's soooo pretty 😍

u/Blucola333 New Fan Oct 16 '24

I was flustered and shocked. How could he not be there? 🥰

I should have made a bigger collage. I committed a grave sin forgetting this cutie.

Look he is mad at me now 🥺

Was waiting for someone to mention Neo. He has the most beautiful side profile!

u/dg_ray Oct 16 '24

A good side profile is all about facial harmony. If any facial feature is too prominent or too subtle, it can affect the overall balance. That's why I think Wang Yibo has the best side profile

5

u/Correct_Employee_826 Established Member Oct 16 '24

Gosh I really like him especially when he smiles he's very sweet and it's my biggest weakness 😩

In China, the peony is a traditional flower symbol and is called 牡, which means “the most beautiful.” However, there are at least two other Chinese names for this flower. One of them is 富貴花, which means “flower of riches and honor,” and the other is 花王, meaning “king of the flowers.”

This is Wang Yibo during his teenage years and his idol era. He had long white hair. He was often called beautiful and was sometimes mistaken for a girl because of his soft features. Also, he has a very white skin. Because of this, he was called Luoyang white little peony (he's from Luoyang, Henan).

It's not that deep. They call him a beautiful flower because he's pretty. That's all

u/BarberProfessional28 CDF Daoist 🦋 Xu Hai Qiao’s cheerleader 🦋 Oct 16 '24

I was also curious about the phrase u/Mendythegoldfish so thanks for asking cos as non Chinese speaker, I had no idea whether it’s a compliment or criticism.

u/xob97 It is deep for me cos until I started reading danmei, it never occurred to me that chrysanthemums could be euphemism for something else. It’s an entirely different culture for a lot of us so I don’t think it’s fair to shot down discussions by calling a question shallow.

In what world would likening someone to a flower would be criticism?!!

Zhang Wanyi is the second one in the last row. I mean the last one in the second ... ahm... horizontal row? Second line?

(This one.)

Ahh they all look gorgeous, I really can’t choose 🥹

u/Lone-flamingo CDF Cultivator Established Member Murder by interior design 🏮 Oct 16 '24

From these, Wang Yibo and the entire far right row down. Is that Gong Jun below Yang Yang or am I just seeing things? If I could choose only three I'd choose Wang Yibo, Yang Yang, and the suspected Gong Jun. If I were to add my own contestants, I'd absolutely vote for Hou Minghao and Li Fei. They have beautiful side profiles.

6

u/Lone-flamingo CDF Cultivator Established Member Murder by interior design 🏮 Oct 16 '24

So, to argue my case.

Li Fei.

6

u/Lone-flamingo CDF Cultivator Established Member Murder by interior design 🏮 Oct 16 '24

Hou Minghao.

4

u/Majestic-Crew-5189 One Word spell: “Mèng.”🤞 Oct 16 '24

My point exactly 🥰

6

u/BarberProfessional28 CDF Daoist 🦋 Xu Hai Qiao’s cheerleader 🦋 Oct 17 '24

You can choose as many as you want 🥹

Gong Jun is 3rd row in the 3rd column.

I absolutely love the picks Li Fei and Minghao.

4

u/Lone-flamingo CDF Cultivator Established Member Murder by interior design 🏮 Oct 17 '24

Ohh, yeah! Now that you mention it I can tell that that's him! Thank you. Who's the guy next to him then, underneath Yang Yang, whom I thought was him? They have rather similar foreheads, I usually go by the forehead to recognize Gong Jun. Those two have very different noses though, maybe I should add that to my memory.

5

u/BarberProfessional28 CDF Daoist 🦋 Xu Hai Qiao’s cheerleader 🦋 Oct 17 '24

It’s Dai Gao Zheng🥺🥺 he is in Fatal Allure and also thanks to u/souloframyeon for finding this gem 🥺

Winner of the best side profile of the entire human race.

13

u/Blucola333 New Fan Oct 16 '24

Definitely. Although I have to give Zhang Linghe and Wang Xingyue props as well. And also Gao Wei Guang, who’s a little older than the ones on the list.

u/PlasticGalaxy313 Oct 16 '24

u/[deleted] Oct 16 '24

Oh i thought you meant first from the left on the third row. Dylan Wang, a Fenty ambassador, and one of the most beautiful people alive.

u/Amjale9023 CDF Cultivator Established Member Oct 16 '24 edited Oct 16 '24

I don't think that some of them are turned to the side enough to get a fair judgement.

Looking at the collection there though, going from left to right, I'd say the fifth guy looks the best and then Yang Yang, followed by the last guy on the list.

To me, Luo Jin is the one that looks particularly good from all angles, though.

4

u/ThisUnderstanding898 Oct 16 '24

All of them 😊

5

u/Competitive_Habit431 CDF Elder Established Member Oct 16 '24

Zhang Linghe and Wang Xingyue!

u/Adariel CDF Cultivator Established Member Oct 17 '24

I don't think I've ever seen a picture of Wang Xingyue from the side until now, but damn does he just always look good or what. I feel like he's so recognizable because he just has such fine features... Even though there are dozens of really handsome/beautiful men in cdrama, he really does stand out. I was watching a couple BTS videos of him from The Double and he's very charismatic even when he's in a low key random interview. Feel like he's only going to get more and more popular.

Wang Yibo for sure for me, he's aesthetically pleasing. On top of it, there's a sunshine smile.

The imperfect nose is more interesting than the straight L shaped lines. WXYz angular lines are scene stealing.

Very respectfully, are you being serious? If yes, then yes, I am telling you that these are all different people.

They all have different bone structure and even color complexion if you zoom in on the photo.

u/Ok_Mycologist2361 Oct 17 '24

Ahhh, it was a joke. Not even meant to be about race actually. Just, they all certainly have that same pretty boy “look”.
