Bao Thượng Ân Makes First Appearance in Simple yet Beautiful Hoàng Dung-Inspired Outfit
On November 21st, Sina reported on the new appearances of actors Bao Thượng Ân and Thử Sa portraying Hoàng Dung and Quách Tĩnh respectively. The two actors are currently playing supporting roles in the 2022 installment of The Return of the Condor Heroes titled Eastern Heretic, Western Poison. Subsequently, they have their own series titled Blood and Passion as the main characters spanning 8 episodes.
On Weibo , some viewers commented on Bao Thượng Ân's cute appearance, round face, and youthful charm. Despite the simple costume design, the beauty born in 2002 still stands out. However, Bao Thượng Ân lacks the intelligence of Hoàng Dung, a gap that needs to be filled through acting and the script.
Actor Thử Sa is praised for his tall, handsome appearance. He is commended for his excellent horse riding skills, noble demeanor, and charisma. However, he appears more mature than Bao Thượng Ân and lacks the innocence of Quách Tĩnh.




Bao Thượng Ân, born in 2002, is currently a student at the Jiangsu Broadcasting Corporation Academy. The actress began her career in 2021 with a supporting role in the film Magical Archer . Subsequently, she has been assigned lead roles in Convenience Store Setup, The Unrivaled Young Master of Letters, Night-Blooming Moonflowers , indicating strong support from producers for the rising star.
Bao Thượng Ân's acting skills are also highly praised, showing versatility and suitability for historical roles. Previously, her role as Lý Táp Táp in the short period drama Night-Blooming Moonflowers received positive reviews, attracting a large fan base.
The role of Hoàng Dung has been successfully portrayed on screen by senior actresses such as Châu Tấn, Lâm Y Thần, Chu Ân, Ông Mỹ Linh, Lý Nhất Đồng... Therefore, this is both an opportunity and a significant challenge for Bao Thượng Ân.
Actor Thử Sa, born in 1997, plays Quách Tĩnh. Thử Sa is known to Vietnamese audiences for his role as Ly Thù in the film The Betrayal (starring Địch Lệ Nhiệt Ba and Nhậm Gia Luân). He will also appear in upcoming projects such as The Jade Seal, Spring Sword: Mountain and River Images, The Immortal's Tomb.
