Unlikely Dafeng S2 can be ready so soon and they have to coordinate the schedule for returning actors.
Didi is definitely attached to this though. I heard senior executives from Yuewen went to see Didi and it was difficult for him to refuse. He had no choice but to accept.
MZY was fourth in line for the role. The project originally didn't even have her name attached. She also had a Mango TV drama (Have It All 一手摘星，一手捶地) scheduled to start filming in Q1, but since she couldn't carry the project alone, she turned her attention to vying for this role. It was only when the Mango TV drama fell through that she had to sheepishly save face and buying hot search for this.
I directly contact with Didi’s fan for his schedule and the director info. Regarding the female role this info is in Rednote and Weibo. The start date is questionable i found in Weibo.
They made contact with Didi on October 26th. Didi had a solo meeting last Monday, the 3rd, and signed a letter of intent.
Currently, the female lead is a tentative invitation with several alternatives…”still in talks with several (6) actresses for the female lead role.” The female lead is in fierce competition and the final choice has not yet been determined. (Tencent is pushing for someone, while New Classic Media is not convinced).
Director is Yin Tao (Blood of Youth, Love and Redemption)
Tentatively is scheduled to begin filming at the end of January 2026, with an estimated filming duration of 5 months.
What did it ruin exactly? It was like 2% romance but kay.
Well i find their kiss scenes very very satisfying and beautifully done. Romance worthwhile in a male centric drama? You are in the wrong place.
Also, it makes no sense for him not to have any romance when in the novel he is a *player* and has a harem. How can his character not have any love interest at all? That not Xu Qi’an.

Director will be Yin Tao, it is said he is already approved (Destined, Blood of Youth, Love and Redemption).
Didi is definitely attached to this though. I heard senior executives from Yuewen went to see Didi and it was difficult for him to refuse. He had no choice but to accept.
