As we usher in the new year, it’s that time again to look at the achievements of 2019. Vlinkage has released its final ranking of top 50 actors and actresses from January 1 to December 31, 2019 (translated here). And for the first time in three years, we have a new winner! Zhu Yilong takes the top spot from Zhao Liying who moves down to fourth place after taking most of the year off. Meanwhile, it still warms my heart that Ashes of Love stars Deng Lun and Yang Zi come in second and third. The Untamed stars Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo had the most notable improvements from the previous year as they both shot up to the top 10. See rankings below.
1. Zhu Yilong
2. Deng Lun
3. Yang Zi
4. Zhao Liying
5. Jackson Yee
6. Xiao Zhan
7. Yang Mi
8. Wang Yibo
9. Dilraba Dilmurat
10. Ju Jingyi
** Star popularity is based on view count, weibo, douban, tieba, search results, etc

Still proud of ZLY even though she was on a break.

It's not proudful. It made no sense how she topped YM (or anybody else). There are others who deserves the spot. ZLY isn't forgotten yet, whether she on the list or not it doesn't matter because people still like her. But insisting to be on a list where you haven't work for, makes you look worse than being on it.

Yang Mi only starred in one drama this year that's not even that popular and she's in the Top 10 AGAIN (literally she's in the Top 10 for every single actor list in existence). LOVE HER!!

ZLY took a break, but it doesn’t mean she didn’t generate news. People are still invested in her.

I read somewhere that Zhu Yilong is the first actor to top the list. Congrats!

@4.a I don't frequent ZLY, but it is still something a fan can be proud of. As a celebrity, it's all about relevancy. Maybe if these fans want their faves to get on the top of the list then they should work harder to generate more views, search results, etc regarding their faves. It's not ZLY's fault that people still talk about her and search her up. Don't be so salty.
Anyways, I'm super happy my Deng Lun and Yang Zi made it to the top of the list, both #2-3. They worked hard to get where they are. Of course every other actor and actress did too. Congrats to all those that made it to the list.

Story of Minglan ended it's airing in January 2019, so technically she has a work in 2019.

Guys should I watch Ashes of Love? I've been kind of hesitant to watch it bc I don't really like watching under 28-year-old actors, not to be oldie or anything (I'm legit 14. So no. I am NOT old) and I don't think they will act as well for a wuxia drama.

Deng Lun is ugly. I want Yang Zi to hook up with Xiao Zhan.
