lol of course its Jiro his acting if by far better and i think his acting is not stiff.
^just my opinion.
^just my opinion.
How on earth can these two be compared? to me they're on completely different levels. Jiro hands down. They're too different..
WuZun just doesn't give out the great feeling that Jiro gives. Jiro simply has so many more facial expressions, feeling, and emotion when acting. WuZun is just plain boring and doesn't show much affection at all when he acts. Huge difference there. And Jiro's not stiff like WuZun.
Very huge differences between these two that I find it unnecessary to compare. After all, Jiro's had more experience in roles than WuZun has, whether it's main or supporting.

aiyo...compare between these two,of course i can choose easily...eventhough i'm not wu zun or jiro fan...i choose jiro over wu zun...jiro acting more lively and not stiff at all...not to mantion he get more my attention then wu zun when first i watch hanakimi...he's so adorable...and i don't wanna be bias so as for wu zun i'll wait for his hot shot to come out...hope his acting skill show some improvement...he so plain in his previous series...so sorry...
i choose jiro's acting.
the only drama i see them acting alongside tgt most of the time would be hana kimi. and jiro def. stand out more compared to wuzun. jiro brings live to the character he is portrays with much expression.
on the other hand, i feel that zun is too stiff, not much expressions. maybe its bcos of his character he has to portray, e.g. cool image.
but i feel that, zun has this burden on him, that he has to maintain his image on screen.

if so, then doesn't every celebrity have a burden on them? lmao
oh yeah. i will definitely choose jiro because he's much more entertaining... although he's only had all these funny roles but well at least he actually was funny. hope to see him in different roles in the future cus he has potential (also time). i mean after a few years, who would wanna watch some man in his 30's who could be my dad act and still have this pure and god-like image on them.
Jiro hands down. He's just so much more lively on screen, and he has way more emotions than Wu Zun does. Although Wu Zun gets more chances, he still isn't on the same level as Jiro.
As much as I'm nto a major fan of either, I would definitely say Jiro. Besides the fact that Chun's accent gets on my nerves, His expressions are too stiff and dull compared to Jiro who is more entertaining in whatever he does.
Jiro's acting skills by far surpass WuZun's acting "skills" (in my opinion, of course).
As many others have mentioned, I find that WuZun's acting is too stiff and lacks emotion. Jiro is reallyy good with expressions and his acting is just soo full of energy-- he really draws you into his character. And I find that Jiro can pull-off a lot of different roles whereas WuZun really fits just one kind of role.
(All of his roles are pretty similar to one another, I think.. or he makes it seem like they are, at least.)

I haven't watched Romantic Princess and some of the recent Fahrenheit dramas, so I'll just judge according to their old roles in dramas like Tokyo Juliet, Hana Kimi, KO One, ISWAK etc.
I think I give credits to them when acting in different aspects. If you ask me who would I like to see acting as a rich, gentlemanly, polite, intelligent and well-mannered role, I would pick Wu Zun. I have seen enough of the 'princey' side of Wu Zun to perceive that he is the one that is the most suitable in Fahrenheit. Perhaps it's because he IS like that in reality, that's why. Wu Zun has always had this tranquil and easy going nature in him; I hardly see any emotional breakdown from him, except the recent teardrops at an event. He doesn't necessarily come off as humdrum or boring, but I suppose he pulls off quiet and calm characters better than Jiro. Plus, his high educational level makes me attribute him as this person equipped with shrewdness and intelligence, so brainy roles matches him as well (I want to see him as a total nerd in future dramas.
).
As for a role that is energetic, humorous, vigorous and comical, that would be Jiro. Although he could be really sentimental and emotional at times, he seems like the kind who has tons of activities/parties going on in his life. Hahaha... maybe it's his hair and the way he dresses up (I have yet to see Jiro in a suit before... yes, complete with a tie and shiny shoes). I'm really surprised to observe that Jiro is quite different on-screen and off-screen.
Honestly, I can't imagine vice versa. I don't see how lively Wu Zun is, and I don't see how gentlemanly Jiro is (not saying he isn't gentlemanly, I HAVE witnessed his politeness, but not in dramas. I can't see him being the appropriate candidate). I am aware that this might be a connotation of mine, but their images are like permanently imprinted on their faces so it is really hard for me to determine otherwise.

So, this is my topic, so I am just gonna say. . . I find Wu Zun to be better at the more serious and depressing scenes and Jiro great at the humourous scenes. I know its kinda hard to compare but bare with me here 
thnx
thnx
Hard to compare my two obssessions but i like Jiro's acting than Chun.
Jiro fits with Hilarious series.
While Chun, He fits with some depressing scenes like what Feli said.
I love Jiro's : "A boy and a girl, no touching"
^^Just sharing.
YATTA!Baby...~

For me, Jiro acting better than Wu Zun...but acting skill both of them still average to me..thats my opinion...
Francia, I TOLD YOU people would pick Jiro over Wu Zun based on acting!
See, I'm always right. You never listen to me, lol.
I definitely pick Jiro. Although he's not my favorite actor out of Fahrenheit (I like Arron the most because Jiro's nasally voice bothers me sometimes), Jiro's the second best. We all know he can pull off the comedic roles, he proved that to us with his roles in Hana Kimi and It Started With A Kiss. However, he can also do some emotional scenes. In They Kiss Again, when Christine got burned, Jiro had to rush her to a hospital and start bawling. I thought he pulled off the scene pretty well.
Wu Zun's acting is still kinda stiff. And I've only seen him as those high class, cold, rich, prince like characters. His facial expressions are limited and sometimes, I feel like he just says his lines, not really act. But, I still like him though.

Nice to see you active in the Critics Hangout again.
You seem to have disappeared for awhile.
Anyway, of course it's Jiro's acting.
Honestly, all I see in Wu Zun are the same facial expressions over and over and over again.
Jiro's acting may not be perfection yet, but he definitely is a better actor over Wu Zun in terms of emotions and a variety of facial expressions.

To be honest I've only seen their acting in a few episodes of Hana Kimi but I say Jiro, Wu Zhun's expression and everything was very stone like. He's not very good at expressing his emotions and everything seems too forced and unnatural. Also, he's missing some charisma, very boring overall.
Jiro, he's not amazing but definitely with potential. He portrayed the funny character really well, he was THE best part of Hana Kimi. He was funny, energetic, and he over exaggerated in the right amounts, it was definitely intentional cause it fits the character. He definitely have really strong entertaining screen presence.
And hey...Jiro doesn't need a dub! Yea, I went there...

Jiro Wang`s in a heartbeat
[I still dont get why Chun gets a movie when his acting is a soso]
first of all, in HanaKimi, maybe its character need
Chun is like a talking stick, he didnt have a lot of
emotion on his face, but still, some part
he is suppose to be happy, or sad,
he doesnt give me the feeling of that
most of the time I have to guess what the feeling of the
scene suppose to be from Ella`s acting
while for Jiro, I can tell in a heart beart [AGAIN!]
the scene is suppose to be, happy, sad, or others
some people think he was over ding it
not to me at all, think about this, he is suppose to be gay
even if he did over act [not to me] but that accepted
it is suited for his character
I seriously couldnt stand the series, if Jiro wasnt in there
I wouldnt even start it, Chun cant take on a male lead role
In Romantic Princess, I thought Chun acting would improve
maybe learning from Ella, I dont think Ella is an excellent actress
but at least she IS an actress, yet, Chun is still a talking stick
I still cant feel his emotion or anything, some scenes
he is suppose to be jealous, yet, he just "look" at Angela
and I dont really feel jealous from him, but the bickering
scenes of him and Angela were great, I mean, Angelun
do it in real life, so it was just putting it in action,
Im KIND OF looking forward to Hot Shot to see Chun`s acting
after working with one of the greattt actress in TW
Angela, I hopeee his acting will improve, or his look
wont last for two hours in his upcoming movie
Also, some people think Jiro can only take on roles like Xiu Yi and Ah Jin
crazy about love and usually the funny character in the series
The X Family proved them all wrong, in the series
Jiro had to act 4characters, which was not easy task
yet, he did a great job, you can tell which character
is which from his acting, well of course the outfit
but you can tell a lot from his acting
also, one of the four character GuiLong
wasnt a funny character, he was really serious and evil
[sort of] and also mean and stuff
yet, Jiro did an EXCELLENT job acting as him

If you were referring to me ^ ^: yeah, hi. School has been super busy lately. I usually visit the Show thread then Fated to Love You thread. Anyway, I think Wu Zun's acting will eventually improve. I know what you mean by Jiro has more facial expressions, but I didn't see a lot of good depressing scenes. IDK. I kinda based it on that. When Jiro acts depressed in any scene; it looks like a "ISWAK" role. idk.
lol. Thanks for the esssay Choco Jiro pretty profound. But I found didn't find Wu Zun to be really stiff at all in Tokyo Juliet. . .
QUOTE

lol ! That made me smile. Well, although the dubbed voice annoyed me in Tokyo Juliet, it wasn't completely Wu Zun's fault. I mean, yes, of course it's partially his fault because his Mandarin was not up to standard yet, but he had to film Hana Kimi RIGHT after, and I guess there just wasn't enough time to perfect the language.

Yeah. Hopefully, his upcoming drama with Danson (Rolling Love) will prove to us viewers that he's capable of expressing an even WIDER range of different emotions .
Then again, I can say the same with Wu Zun's upcoming movie and drama. Haha. I'm definitely looking forward to his drama (with Alan~!)
^ Does anyone know if Jiro's upcoming role in Rolling Love will be a comic relief type? Or someone who's more complex? If so, I think he'll definitely have a chance to prove himself worthy of the acting industry.
Wu Zun also has Hot Shot, which I REALLY hope he improves greatly in. I mean, he's going to be playing basketball, so he better not be stiff since he's actually into that and it should be more natural for him.
However, it's going to be easier for Jiro to shine since he's the first male lead and he only has to "compete" with Danson for attention worthy acting skills. Wu Zun has to shine through Jerry AND Show, two fantastic actors, so it might be difficult for him.

WuZun's role in Tokyo Juliet had his voice dubbed. So if you're talking about stiff, you must be talking about actions then. because there's no way we can tell there. And his acting was still extremely stiff for me. Forget his voice there since it's dubbed, look at his facial expression. Still lacks a lot, and absolutely no improvement for facial expressions since then.
And Jiro's depressing scenes ARE in ISWAK/TKA. Ah Jin. And he does them very, very well. Much better than a lot of actors could've done it... his face always looks droopy and he nearly cried *look at eyes*.

oh`retro
*sigh* i believe once again it's going to be a funny type of role but i think it's at least a bit more serious than his other roles
if only he had a role where he can show his acting abilities ! and i agree . i think wu chun should act pretty well in Hot Shot since he does enjoy basketball in real life , but it's gonna be a disappointment if there's no improvement ..
choco
i've been missing you ! you haven't even been at jiro's thread D: haha , but at least just for jiro you write a whole essay ! and i think so too . i'm still kinda confused why he's casted in the movie butterfly lover which is gonna be filmed in cantonese right ? hmm , language is getting a lot better & acting is just getting there .. oh well , can't wait to see jiro's acting in DCF though !
back on topic ..
well , i think both wu chun & jiro display their own role and so far jiro hasn't been given an opportunity to show what he can do . but the roles he's given so far - he has displayed them very well ! and there are scenes in the dramas he's acted in where his role needs to give off a depressed emotion and i think he handles them very well
it's really convincing :] but i do think wu chun's given more opportunities than jiro since he also has butterfly lover (movie) which he's filming .. even though i think his acting skills are nothing compared to jiro's .. that's just my opinion .. the most recent i've seen is RP and i think his acting has improved & it's less stiff but i can't really say anything since the role is so . well i'll just say it seems a lot easier to portray than a lot of the other roles & i'd like to see jiro portray that kind of role to see how capable he is ( and i think he's really capable) plus it'd be something different & nice to see of jiro once in a while and look at the x family ! he was able to take on 4 different roles & each had a diff. personality . and he did an awesome job !!
as for chun . i think his acting is getting there i mean it's not as stiff as how it used to be & he doesn't need to be dubbed anymore !! even though his acting skills aren't as good as jiro's but i'm sure he's improving & i can't really say much until i see Hot Shot to see how much he improved .. but it's amazing how he gets more opportunities than jiro even though jiro's the better actor ..
just my opinion . i'm actually a fan of both

I am a fan of both of them but to me i think that Jiro is better
Even thought Jiro can be like over the top but I like it and also his sad sences in ISWAK and TKA. In X-family I think he did a good job in acting 4 characters. Wu Chun is just okay. He is a bit stiff and not much expression as Jiro.

It is not totally Wu Zun's fault that his voice is dubbed. He didn't live in TW all his life. And besides, Jiro's chinese isn't that great either. . . his pronounciation isn't much better than Wu Zun's. And I cried during Tokyo Juliet too. =] Its all an opinion
you know..even though jior's acting is better
i found dat wu zun's acting in his first movie, tj wasnt quite dat bad
but da only reason i reckon jior is better is becoz wu zun doesnt improve, yea he was good in tj but eva since, hes acting is still da same
so jiro wins
round 2:whos got da looks??
Wu zun definately(sorri just random stuff)

I think wu zun's acting is better. For now at least, because the only characters that Jiro play are the comic reliefs, so it doesn't really show his acting skills. But his exaggerated facial expressions are pretty good.
I actually really liked wu zun in Tokyo Juliet. I think it's just the language barrier that prevents him from doing better. I bet if his voice was dubbed in all the other dramas he was in, it'd be better.
But overall, I don't think neither wu zun nor jiro are that good....

I don't blame it on WuZun at all.
Actually, if you listen closely, Jiro's Mandarin is very fluent, he grew up in Taiwan. So it's not surprising that his Mandarin is very fluent. I don't understand what you mean by his pronunciation isn't better than WuZun's. Because frankly, it is much, much better.. and it's got that natural Taiwanese-boy feeling in it. WuZun's has a huge accent that hasn't changed much (and I doubt it will change much in the future).
I have to first say...
I am NOT a HUGE fan of both of these guys...
Comparing their acting...
JIRO WANG
He has more skills, although he is usually funny, he has the skills. Whilst Wu Zun..... sorry I read somewhere above he is good at serious looks, that is just this normal face without any expression at times... but really.. Wu Zun can't even have the word 'skills' placed on his head at times.. only 'experience'. Because, seriously, he really can't give me any feeling. If he was acting sad, I don't get the gut wrenching sadness that makes me bawl my eyes out since I am so totally like a leaking tap with Drama.. anything makes me cry, but his drama... the crying bits don't involve him making the feeling...
Whilst JIRO.. on the other hand.. can. I think X Family made me a lot more accepting to his acting, he really was funny. serious and depressed at many scenes.. it really was an improvement.. and ISWAK and TKA's improvement was very obvious as well. Whilst Wu Zun... i remember his Basketball Fire comment by the director "No acting improvement... mandrin improved."
So sorry... Jiro it is......
I am NOT a HUGE fan of both of these guys...
Comparing their acting...
JIRO WANG

^ People talking about Wu Zun's language barrier...
Wu Zun has been in Taiwan for like years now. So his language barrier shouldn't be an excuse for his mediocre acting. People like Vic and Vanness from F4 both had language issues, but their acting is still much better. And I don't think Mandarin was that big of a problem for him in Romantic Princess and he still didn't do that good of a job. Every single facial expression was the same. I really hope he steps up his game in Hot Shot.
Most people assume Jiro can only pull off those comic relief type roles, but they've never seen his sad/emotional scenes. If you watched some of his crying scenes in They Kiss Again, you can see that he does have the ability to pull off those too.

And think about Jiro's acting too. Not all his characters are comical and happy all the time. TKA, ISWAK, and even X-Family, there were plenty of serious and scenes that were different from the comical ones that he portrays more often.
Example, TXF, he had four different characters to play. He did an excellent job with all of them.

^^ agreed .
even though, basically jiro's characters come out as the "happy-go-lucky" character & is funny .
but there are scenes where he's extremely sad and upset . and he portrays those roles really well . so saying that you can't judge his acting skills since he only portrays one type of role isn't really an excuse .. and yeeah . i think jiro did a wonderful job in TXF ! each character was different in its own way and he did a darn good job i love his crying scenes though . it just seems so real and i get sad along with him . ko one he portrayed the tough guy & more serious than his other roles :]
oh`retro
how true . wu chun has stayed here for a few years so he should be picking mandarin up quite easily . plus couldn't it improve since he talks with frh and stuff ? so this isn't an excuse for his acting .. and the last drama i've seen of his was romantic princess . and it's not the worse i've seen but it's just mediocre & facial expressions are getting nowhere . i think if i pay extra attention to his facial expressions i'd find similar ones in every scene/episode .. but who knows if his acting has improved . need to watch Hot Shot ..

Wu Zun's Chinese definately improved over the past 2 years. I remember watching variety shows, Zun would just stand there and let the other people do the talking; now, he can actually make jokes and communicate with the media. I think that is a big improvement.
I don't see a lot of improvement since ISWAK I from Jiro. It seems that he cannot really pronounce every sentence clearly; sometimes it sounds kinda slurred. You can also hear that from his singing. (Though I have to say, none of the FRH members are pros) I don't know about the other Tawainese but he really cannot distingush his "L's" from his "N's" Like 'Nan' and 'Lan'. I know that Vic Zhou also had that problem. Plus Jiro has that nasally voice that makes it hard for him to pronounce some of the words. I don't know, but his pronouncation sometimes take away from his acting.

Sometimes they're just born with the slurred speech.
As much as WuZun's Chinese has improved, it can never get to the point where it's extremely fluent and natural. It improved from Hana-Kimi ---> present, but it won't get much better. Because his talking voice in Romantic Princess sounds the same as it was when he was on variety shows nearly a whole year earlier.

Well, since some are saying Wu Zun's chinese has improved, then how come his acting is still so.. ordinary?
Since there's no "language barrier", then there should not be anymore excuses for his unconvincing acting.

Pokes My Lucky Star.
A dubbed voice but Yoo Hana pulled off all those expressions convincingly.

have to agree with vicki on that. Yoo Hana was really good. and Chae Rim(?) was really good in this china production with Zhang Jia Hui too.
of course if you were to ask me, i would think it is Jiro. i think his acting is pretty natural and he can pull of a no. of roles quite well. whereas for Wu Zun, his acting is pretty wooden and he still cant emote as well as Jiro.

actually, language barriers play a big role in acting. if you've seen comments for rush hour 3, there are several critics saying that because of jackie chan's language barrier, he can't add the right emotion in, and that turns them off from the movie. (i personally thought that movie was amazing but anyways...)
i think wu zun has that same problem. watching him act makes me feel like hes a little TOO focused on remembering his lines (since its harder for him than other actors) and he doesnt pay enough attention to other acting details because of that.

Either way, the thing is, if Wu Zun was more professional, he wouldn't let his language barrier affect his acting at all.
Okay, I really don't think Wu Zun has a language barrier anymore. It's been like ages since he's been in Taiwan. If he can't pick up the Mandarin language after like...what...3-4 years, then I don't know what's wrong with him. And like I said before, Vic & Vanness both had language issues when they filmed Meteor Garden, but they pulled off their roles pretty well. And just because Jiro "slurs" his speech doesn't mean he's a bad actor. Jay Chou mumbles all the time, does that make him a bad singer? And Jiro just has a nasally voice...which is why he's not my fave actor from FRH.

just wondering . since you say ROUND 1 .. does that mean that there'll be more rounds coming up ?
back on topic . i agree that chun's mandarin has actually improved and he doesn't need to be dubbed anymore .. but his acting is still so-so , there has been improvement but not a lot .. since his last drama was romantic princess , i think his role was pretty normal and wasn't challenging . something that quite a few people should be able to handle . doesn't need much skills .. since he has hot shot coming out , i need to re-evaluate his acting skills but i still doubt it has improved that much . and i don't see how his nasally voice affects his acting at all unless people gets annoyed by it , but it has nothing to do with his acting skills . but i find it a setback for both of them with wu chun's language barrier & jiro's nasally voice since they will be critiqued on this .

I've only watched 1 show feat. Jiro, and that is, Hana Kimi. I was a great fan of his acting... he made the "Xiuyi" character come to life n the scenes with his exaggerated expression were usually hilarious Hana Kimi will never be so successful without Ella & Jiro's awesome acting
if they were to exchange roles... I think chunnie won't be able to carry it off at all... so far, his roles (HK and RP) were relatively easy, with little emotional scenes required. Nevertheless, it was a perfect decision to select chunnie to portray Quan... that made it more convincing that a fangirl is willing to come all the way from US, enrol herself in an all-boys school... just to get close to her idol
oh yes! "G-Y-A... gay!" definitely got embedded in my mind

Hard to compare my two obssessions but i like Jiro's acting than Chun.
Jiro fits with Hilarious series.
While Chun, He fits with some depressing scenes like what Feli said.
I love Jiro's : "A boy and a girl, no touching"
^^Just sharing.
YATTA!Baby...~

oh..JIRO of course! muahaha..
wu zun's acting is a bit stiff..ordinary? while seeing Jiro makes me alive.
never fails to leave a smile or make us laugh. well, at least i feel that way..
i enjoy more of Jiro..
truth is...course, Jiro!! lol
biased me. jiro is my fave..

Hmmm, I did guess that everyone would pick Jiro. I agree he is the better actor, that does not mean Wu Zun is bad.
He needs to improve a bit, I still felt things when I watched him. I noticed him in Hana kimi, although I have to say I liked Danson more than Jiro and him lol.
I feel like we are comparing two different types here, like comparing Ming Doa to Show Luo O.o.

Oh so this is all about acting then???
Hmmm.
If both of them became porn film actors, then I would love to see them act on the same movie. Or series, since they're used to acting in series. Maybe they can do HanaKimi Part X? Hahahaha. JinXiuYi, LuRuiXi and ZuoYiQuan???
NOT BAD.

I think Chun is more handsome than Jiro but then I think Jiro acts better.
I might have to watch Jiro's latest drama with Genie to confirm my above statement.

lol, theres probably going to be round 2 singing (even though the outcomes quite obvious) and etc.
^^ Are you Felicitationx, Wayyli? I don't THINK so! LoL X] Hm, no. I just like to use that Round stuff because it sounds intense, there is not going to be a round two(as of right now). So yeah. Does that answer your question?
LOL . yeaah pretty much
thanks for answering .
i thought that you were going to have more
rounds since you said "ROUND 1" .

One only has to watch The X-Family and the answer will be obvious. Jiro's acting can be over the top sometimes, but he definitely can act and is a versatile actor. Xia Tian, Da Dong and Gui Long are all vastly different in temperaments and personality and Jiro played all 3 characters well. Even Gui Long and Zack, I can see subtle differences between them (at least I can differenciate who is Zack and who is Gui Long, eventhough they have the same outer appearance). Jiro also emotes better than Wu Chun.
haha asking me about wu zun & jiro's acting is like... asking if rainie or cyndi sing better... which is equally bad. haha. i like wu zun's acting better, its more real, well its bad, but its not annoying. while jiro... just looking at his face and the way he moves his lips make me wanna fast forward any scene that contains him. i remember when i watched ISWAK, i jst could not stand any part thats got him in it. in HK it was like even worse. cant judge on his acting now coz i avoid watchin him altogether. so in a nutshell, based on ISWAK & HK, wu zun & jiro are equally bad but i like wu zuns acting a bit better.
