Yes, leads. Also I believe there is another couple (I haven’t gotten far though).

The date on the video is Nov 25, 2023. In some countries, the date and year are switched around.

I wouldn’t worry too much. The fact that iqiyi released a special bts look back in Sept shows that there is still great interest in releasing this drama at some point. It’s been topping charts in recent weeks as far as anticipated dramas go, so it will be finished at some point and released (unless iqiyi completely falls apart as a company).

To me, there seem to have been issues with the production for sure, but I don’t think anyone knows for certain what has been going on. I wouldn’t believe all the stuff you see online.

For now, we’ll just have to stay tuned.

Same. Although, I see rumors of a new endorsement coming soon, so hopefully soon more and more news of him! I'm also hoping to get more news about this drama.

I believe this is from 2 years ago when he was filming LOTDT.

A great start - finally a long drama I can really settle into.

I know, just give it to us already lol!

Ep 1 was pretty gripping - the entertainment industry in any country truly can be a dark place.

I believe Deng Wei is tentatively scheduled to attend iQiyi's Scream Night in Macau on Dec 6. His official fan club posted recently.

I’m not a fan of this emperor. I still have a few eps to go, but I doubt my opinion of him will change

They’re both very good looking but in different ways! ❤️

It's very draggy in places. And I wasn't particularly drawn in by the main leads' romance. But there's a reasonably exciting climax to ep 30 or so. After that, it's just redundant to me.

Catching up on this now. I find one of the most interesting dynamics in this whole show has been between Wei Yun and Gu Chusheng. And thankfully in the last twenties episodes, it features more of their scenes together.

I'm still hoping for sooner, but I don't see the promotion train moving yet for this drama.

Yeah that person is weird. Doesn’t know how to read a situation is often very condescending.

I haven’t seen anything yet, maybe early 2026 at this point. It seems like The Unclouded Soul is coming in Dec, as well as Speed and Love.

I guess we disagree, and that’s fine. Sexual tension to me is just another way to describe chemistry between two people onscreen. It doesn’t mean necessarily that any character at any time actually wants to be in a romantic relationship. It’s how the audience reads their relationship (in whatever form, romantic or not in actuality). For me, the leads’ relationship onscreen lacks such chemistry, but maybe for others it works, and that’s all good too. It’s just hasn’t worked for me. I’m going watch to the end since I’m already at ep 30, so we’ll see what happens.

Agree, it’s hard to find good scripts it seems these days.

Yes, many are looking forward to his works to come.

I think beyond the lack of logic that occurs on some of the characters’s actions (not uncommon in these types of dramas), what is really not working for me is the lack of chemistry or sexual tension between the leads. It’s probably a combination of things, including how the female lead’s character is set up. It’s played a bit too cutsey for me, when it should have this edge of forbidden love and restraint or tension.
