10. [+1246] It's still Liu Yi Fei who's pretty 


This is now the second article that I've translated where South Korean has ranked Chinese celebrities. I'm really curious to know which South Korean media outlet is writing these articles.
Also, it's clear that Zhang Li only made it to the list because she's dating Joo Jin Moo. She's only been in one ancient costume drama! I don't deny that she's beautiful but there are many more actresses who are known for their ancient costume dramas.

TOP COUPLES

1. Huang Xiao Ming [4] and Angelababy [2]
2. Wallace Huo [8] and Ruby Lin [6]
3. Li Chen [12] and Fan Bing Bing [3]
4. Deng Chao [2] and Sun Li [18]
5. Chen Xiao [25] and Michelle Chen [11]
6. Luo Jin [28] and Tang Yan [10]
7. Yuan Hong [17] and Zhang Xin Yi [23]
8. Hawick Lau [40] and Yang Mi [4] 
9. Zhang Han [16] and Guli Nazha [63] 
10. Ou Hao [64] and Ma Si Chun [27] 
11. Mark Chao [53] and Gao Yuan Yuan [48]
12. Jia Nai Liang [34] Li Xiao Lu [89]

It's interesting to see that Angelababy is higher on the list than Huang Xiao Ming (her average score is also higher than Huang Xiao Ming). She was relatively unknown before her relationship with him became public. But her ranking is understandable given her popularity with Running Man. She actually received a score of 99.9 for the fans element which was the highest score given out.

Newcomers Ou Hao and Ma Si Chun are doing really well. I would have never expected they would beat a couple like Jia Nai Liang and Li Xiao Lu. Jia Nai Liang is really well liked but it seems like that's a bubble. His commercial value is really low at 63.8 compared to his fan score at 97.2. I wouldn't say Li Xiao Lu's ranking is unexpected as she isn't very active scoring a 72.8. But it's still unexpected seeing such newcomers beat out more established celebrities.
