Many people have praised Bao Thurong An’s delicate and youthful appearance, which radiates intelligence and charm. “Her beauty is sophisticated and matches the clever demeanor required for the role of Hoang Dung. She may be a newcomer, but her charisma is undeniable,” remarked one observer.
Bao Thurong An is one of the few actresses to receive acclaim for her performance in this adaptation of Jin Yong’s classic novels.

Despite the praise, some opinions suggest that while Hoang Dung possesses a beautiful and intelligent appearance, she still must possess a cunning nature to compete with the established actress Chau Tan. In the original works, Jin Yong describes Hoang Dung as a figure akin to the spring flower, fair-skinned and beautiful, embodying intelligence and wit.
The Legend of the Condor Heroes premiered in late October 2022 and comprises five episodes: Eastern Paladin, The Legend of the Dragon, Southern Region of the North, Cursed Hidden Blade, and Flower Shadow Moonlight Sword. Alongside other prominent actors such as Cao Vỹ Quang, Tran Do Linh, Ha Nhuan Dong, and Chu Nhat Vi, Bao Thurong An is also a focal point of interest.
The character Hoang Dung portrayed by the 21-year-old actress first appeared in the episode The Legend of the Dragon and in many other episodes.
Bao Thurong An is a fresh face in the Chinese entertainment industry, currently studying in the performing arts program at Jiangxi Media Academy. Her debut role was as a supporting character in the 2021 film Thirteen Ghosts. Following this, she played the character Tri Tieu Ngu in the film The Old Man’s Last Stand, and particularly made an impression in the title role of Ly Tap Tap in the musical comedy Moonlit Lotus.
