Looking back at Liu Chao’s acting experience, it’s not difficult to find that whether it’s changing from an SM trainee status to an actor status, or a completely different type of role played in each drama, each of his seemingly natural choices is actually hidden Exploration of personal breakthroughs.
In 2012, Liu Chao partnered with Song Qian and collaborated with the idol actors Chen Yiru and Zhou Mi who were in the fire at the time in the idol drama “Love Breaks Through the Door”.
