Yes, still filming.

I suppose so, that would be the most logical for “investment” after a drama has already been filmed.
I saw that on several platforms it was in third position among the “most anticipated” shows. That’s really good!

Throughout his career Jeremy Tsui has been relatively low-key, concentrating on his acting rather than buying hot searches on Weibo or other publicity.
Now, that he has retired from acting due to the refusal of his agency to release him after the contract expires, he has suddenly become the subject of several hot searches for seemingly trivial things such as growing a beard.
Any rational person (at least over here in Europe) would immediately ask whether it’s a slow news day 😂
However, given that these hot searches cost serious money and he certainly didn’t initiate them himself, one has to wonder what the intentions behind this could be.
One thing all these searches have in common is the attempt to anchor the notion that he has “withdrawn from the entertainment circle” in the public mind when in reality he has just taken some time out from acting and even clearly stated his interest in being a film director or producer in the future.
Furthermore, there seems to be a campaign to spread a lot of misinformation about his career on the internet, even attributing dramas that he never starred in (such as Ashes of Love) to him. While one such article could be a case of bad research, half a dozen smells of malicious intent.

Therefore, Jeremy fans who read this post, beware of rumours and misinformation.

The agency is called Star Media (星之传媒). Based on my research they don’t seem to have any other well known actors/actresses. It’s mainly the “supporting role in a short-length drama) level.
There is no concrete information about when Jeremy’s contract was supposed to run out, but I have the impression that it has now ended.

The two of them seemed to have a good relationship on set, so I’m hoping for sizzling chemistry in their scenes together 🔥

They finished filming in November 2023.
The latest that I’ve heard is that the drama is currently trying to sign up some more investment and should air sometime in Q3-2024.

True. The new one is much closer to his natural appearance. The previous picture was from a photo shoot with heavy white makeup that made his face look like a mask. I cannot believe anyone who has ever seen him in a non-drama setting would think that this would be a good representation of this artist.
Must have been uploaded by a black fan… or maybe that artistically challenged studio of his 😂
Edit: the last sentence is meant as a joke. For anyone who doesn’t know, a black fan is someone who dislikes and actively trolls a star.

I watched this only for Jeremy Tsui’s brief appearance.
His look in the movie strangely resembles his current “retired” look.
If anyone is interested in checking it out, he appears around time mark 21:00 in a flashback and again around time mark 59:00.

I’m having the same problem… sometimes even trying to correct very obvious mistakes, the edits get rejected.
Makes me wonder how the incorrect information got uploaded in the first place if checks are that rigorous.

I’m quite sure that won’t be in the drama, just like Xiao Wuxia trying to kill her, breaking her shoulder, and fiddling the emperor.
Funnily enough, even in the online version of the novel, this scene has been removed.

You’re not alone. There are many of us camping out here just for him!
Overall it is an interesting story and this complex role should give him ample opportunity to show off his acting prowess. Hopefully, the script will not too much modify Pei Yan’s character and story.

Hehe, I guess everyone has their own preference and favourites and there is nothing wrong with praising them while ignoring others. Saying nothing is better than saying negative things.
I think we should all pull together (just like Xiao Wuxia and Pei Yan did) to support this drama as best we can. Fans of different actors tearing each other up may amuse passers-by, but it rarely benefits the drama.

Based on what I’ve seen in the stills, the wardrobe for all of them was very good. Make-up was decent, too. Now they just need to lay off that white filter!
Both male leads are in their thirties, nobody expects them to look like 21.

I’m still stuck on ep. 5 😳 All that sweet talk in ep. 4 sent me to sleep twice, but I’m not giving up yet…

That sounds weird. Doesn’t everyone have one? Even is it isn’t visible, it’s still there.

Yes, more natural features would be a welcome change from the currently fashionable “white-face”. It’s one of the reasons why some of the older dramas feel so much more “lifelike” and engaging.
I really don’t care if there are lines or blemishes on an actor’s face, for as long as they are able to use said face for acting. They are supposed to be actors, not models. It’s a point that many C-netizens don’t seem to get, hence the excessive use of filters.

Thank you for understanding 🙏
Yes, I think there will be different trailers released in the run-up to the broadcast that look at the story from different angles.

Jeremy IS one of the three leads in this drama and if you are familiar with the story you will know that Pei Yan is a very important character in it.
Moreover, this is Jeremy’s last drama, so I don’t think it is any disrespect to the production team (or anyone else) if Jeremy fans are anxious to see more than a 3 second shot of him.

I cannot say that I’m happy with this trailer.
Despite being one of the leads, Jeremy’s part is reduced to one line! What is the production company playing at?

New trailer out today
