The hit broadcast of the 2023 version of "Dragon Babu" has aroused widespread attention and discussion. However, judging from the current ** word-of-mouth, the audience is not satisfied with the styling and character selection of the show. Among them, Wang Yuyan, as the first heroine of the play, is particularly important in casting. However, the new version of Wang Yuyan is played by Hong Kong actress Wen Yongshan, and her appearance does not bring a fairy-like feeling to the audience, and it is relatively bland. This is in stark contrast to the Panxi she played in "The Legend of the Sea Shepherd". The audience was disappointed with the performance of the new version of Wang Yuyan, and even began to miss the old version in the past.
Next, let's revisit the actors of Wang Yuyan in the past dynasties and see who is the fairy sister in the audience's mind.
Wang Yuyan in the 1982 wireless version of "Dragon Babu" is played by Chen Yulian. Chen Yulian's performance expressed Wang Yuyan's bewilderment and eyes very well. However, due to the limitations of the shooting technology at the time, the picture of this version was dark, and the beauty was slightly darkened. Still, with a little tweaking of the colors, one can still appreciate the beauty of this version.
In the 1990 Taiwan TV version of "Dragon Babu", Wang Yuyan was played by Song Gangling. This version has made significant changes to the plot, merging Duan Yu and Xu Zhu into one person, and arranging Menggu's role on Wang Yuyan. However, this version of Wang Yuyan has become contrived and a little thunderous. In comparison, Song Gangling is even more stunning when she plays Li Qiushui, her graceful and enchanting style is more in line with the image of Li Qiushui in the original book.
Wang Yuyan in the 1997 TVB version of "Dragon Babu" was played by Li Ruotong. Although Li Ruotong is not the most beautiful Wang Yuyan, she left a deep impression on the audience.

In Zhang Jizhong's version of "Dragon Babu" in 2003, Liu Yifei played Wang Yuyan. Undoubtedly, Liu Yifei is the most beautiful actor in history Wang Yuyan. At only 16 years old, she has an invincible youthful beauty. Liu Yifei interpreted Wang Yuyan's beauty and agility very well, and perfectly restored the image in the original work. Whether it's that unique smile or that bewitching eyebrows, she makes people feel confused.
In 2013, Wang Yuyan in Lai Shuiqing's version of "Dragon Babu" was played by Zhang Meng. This version of Wang Yuyan was ridiculed by netizens. Her performance is very dull, and her costume is not good enough, which makes people feel vulgar. In contrast, Duan Yu's style also looks greasy and exaggerated. Every time I saw Duan Yu looking at Wang Yuyan with a smile on his face, the audience felt embarrassed. Compared with the criticism of Zhang Meng, the audience appreciated Azhu's beauty in the play more.
Through a review of the actors of Wang Yuyan in the past dynasties, the audience can find that each version has its own characteristics and highlights. However, judging from the audience's reactions, Wang Yuyan played by Li Ruotong and Liu Yifei is the most successful. Li Ruotong's youthful shyness and Liu Yifei's outstanding appearance are highly consistent with the image in the original work.
