Discussion 1:  LDK Was Replaced By Sponsor To Play WKX

• This discussion topic generated more than 700 replies today

In the pre-production, LDK was planned to play as WKX and MZJ was planned to play as ZZS because SHL initially designed as small web drama.  

Later on when sponsor coming, sponsor has suggested to change the leads because sponsor wanted bigger exposure. Then ZZH came into the picture. When ZZH came into the picture, sponsor saw different profile (height and face attractive-ness *sadly*) between ZZH and LDK then sponsor requested more handsome face to play WKX. Then GJ came into the picture after single audition and interview.

Interesting. Is the sponsor Wolong nuts? Cause I think everyone's pretty much saying that only them stuck with WOH. 

As for the WKX role, I believe there was another rumour that LDK stepped down of the role as he thinks he's not suitable in playing the character. Hence, he had chosen to play the SK instead.

Btw, thanks for starting this thread! Hope more people come here on the discussion board!

If that rumor is true, then I have nothing but to thank them for letting us meeting ZZH's A-Xu and GJ's WKX. Now I can't imagine anyone else playing their roles.
