Here's a translation I put together using Google and Weibo. Because my Chinese is nonexistent, I asked someone who knows to go over some parts for me. But of course, it isn't free from errors. If anyone here can give this a proper and better translation, please share :D

Some tidbits about "Sunshine through the Rain" (shortened as "Sun Shower" by Cattree in this post):
Sun Shower and Zheng Yu first met in Wuhan. At the time, Chao Yue was on a theater tour there. After having dinner together, the team members were all amazed at how small her face was.
Sun Shower and Chen Yan Zhou first met in Hengdian. He (Winwin) said he had always wanted to try making a campus drama, and we also felt that his youthful spirit matched Chen Yanzhou perfectly.
The teaser trailer for "Sunshine through the Rain" was filmed on the day of the poster shoot. The shooting time was actually very short. But because the weather was great, everyone was full of energy, and we encountered a beautiful sunset, the final result turned out great.
The convenience store where Zheng Yu works in the series was found by me quite by chance, after searching for a long time without success—I just knew it was the right place.
When filming the first scene, which we call "1-1", it was really raining on set. The ground was slippery and the temperature was very low. Because there was a scene involving falling, we had prepared soft mats and other means. But Chao Yue insisted on a real fall, and her elbow was genuinely scraped open. So the scab on her elbow in the drama is completely real.
My favourite scene from Sun Shower is the one where Zheng Yu and Chen Yan Zhou are by the convenience store window after Zheng Yu is beaten up. They look at the rain outside through the glass and see each other reflected in it. Every time we filmed a scene like this, I felt a connection with the characters, which filled me with joy.
When filming the light trap scene, because it was winter, there weren’t any moths or insects around. So we had no other choice, all the insects were digitally added one by one in post-production.
The abandoned base where Zheng Yu and Chen Yan Zhou took shelter from the rain was filmed in an abandoned amusement park. No set construction, but it was truly terrifying at night.
The old laboratory building, Zheng Yu and Chen Yan Zhou's "secret base", was filmed at a senior citizens' university. We chose one of the classrooms and renovated it as a set. The posters for Sun Shower were also filmed at this senior citizens' university.
The moth in the bottle when Zhuang Ning was bullied was released as soon as filming was over.
When filming Sun Shower in China, the crew spent the Lunar New Year together. We finished work early on New Year's Eve, and everyone was very happy.
The filming of the Sun Shower mini-theatre was completed in a day and a half after the main filming wrapped. Most of the crew had finished their regular filming, but a few stayed to film the mini-theatre. Many of whom later went abroad to film.
Sun Shower could go film abroad was all thanks to everyone cutting back on expenses while shooting in China. The overseas budget was really low, unimaginable within the industry. Due to the budget constraints, only nine crew members traveled abroad, meaning each person had to handle the workload of ten.
The overseas filming of Sunshower relied entirely on the mutual support of the actors and the staff. Everyone flew budget airlines, squeezed together on buses, ate hamburgers, and the actors even stayed in the same hotels as the crew (but it was a wonderful experience, which I can share more later on, if given the time).
Originally planned for 22 episodes (before heading overseas), we ended up shooting 24. We really didn't want Zheng Yu and Chen Yan Zhou's story to end. They finally got together, and we wanted to see more of their sweet every day life.
Sun Shower is an original script, without any existing IP, and screenwriter Shi is a newcomer. This is a difficult choice given today's market.
Finally, I hope everyone will enjoy watching the series and continue supporting "Sunshine through the Rain" 🌦️ #TodayIsASunShower#
