Does anyone know if Liu Yi Jun is cast in the second season?
We only know that Wang He Di is back as Xu Qi An and that's it. Liu Yi Jun will more than likely come back but he will probably spend most of the season dead.
Agree with you 100%! you should see the comments of WHD fans against the other cast especially SY on Chinese social…
You're going off topic. Never once did I say this show isn't Wang Hedi focused, it's why I was never surprised on how the show is formatted and who was being brought on.
I just have problems with people saying others aren't getting screentime enough. Like what do you exactly want them to show? I can tell they are putting effort into the things they were assigned to. Zelin and Chenxiao having tired backs is good proof of that.
Chenxiao only personally chatted with 2 guests as far as we know. It might be interesting to see more of that but these are the types of things that unfortunately have to be cut out first. That isn't part of favoritism.
Look, I know that none of you are trying to attack anyone. I'm not trying to either. But if you guys have the right to complain, I can't sit by and not respond to anything that feels not right.
(I'm somewhat surprised this is the first time I was mistaken for a girl lmao)
I don't understand what you are talking about. Wang Hedi is the boss. He was chosen as the boss, he was allowed…
It doesn't matter if Wang Hedi isn't the one who pays them because they're trying to maintain a order in their workplace. Remember that they are still trying to accommodate for actual guests; real ordinary people like they are a hotel. For some people, it's part of their dignity to be professional when they work especially when some (or most even) of these guys have done. This way, it's only natural that they would need their boss to set an orderly routine.
I don't think you watched Episode 0 AKA the pilot episode. It's pretty clear that Wang Hedi suggested everyone himself, he even gave out specific reasons he wanted to bring everyone and it's with the assumption that 'this person is fit for this job.' Also do you really think the production crew would choose Wu Zelin and Zhang Chenxiao if they decided themselves? They're the most obviously Wang Hedi chosen people lol.
Look, I understand you probably first tried this show because of someone else, but it's practical for a show to focus on the person that is bringing in the most money and ad revenue. Transitioning from employee to boss is a natural progression of him from 8 years ago till now (helps Liu Tao also said he specifically is really resourceful).
If anything, Wang Hedi choosing his friends is what gives the show a more friendly atmosphere due him being the reason everyone else gets to know each other. Season 3 of Dear Inn was criticized for not having the laid-back attitude and focusing too much on the business side. (Wang Hedi was on Season 2 first) Is Wang Hedi the only reason 2026 version is more friendly? No, but we can credit him for choosing the right people for this show.
I have no objections for not feeling it with this show, this type of show for me wouldn't be enjoyable in many cases; especially if it's too business-like. But there are things that have a good reason to be where they are. If anything, I'm only annoyed that you think Wang Hedi didn't handpick his team/employees because the beginning of the pilot episode already shows that.
Agree with you 100%! you should see the comments of WHD fans against the other cast especially SY on Chinese social…
Again what are you people talking about? You even said so yourself; in the 1st episode they showed the others trying to get things in order without the boss. Showing the hustle and efforts they put in. No matter how much effort and sweat is put, they will be disorganized without the leader. (It doesn't help Xu Zhisheng was also not there.)
"This is another variety show to build his amazing guy persona who is now growing into a mature leader." Or it's just him agreeing to return to his first big variety show? He said it himself; Dear Inn is special to him because it was his first variety show as a key member. He doesn't have to build a persona if he knows that's just how he is. His personality has been consistent on every variety he's been in. It was the production crew (and Liu Tao too) who regard him as resourceful and stuff; if they believe in him, of course he would be honored and willing to accept the role as the boss.
The Wang Hedi Show.I'm pretty neutral towards WHD. But I felt like the other cast members felt like supporting…
I don't understand what you are talking about. Wang Hedi is the boss. He was chosen as the boss, he was allowed to choose everyone/anyone that works with him. He made defined roles for everyone and they all settled with it. His way of deciding roles for everyone was clear and practical; everyone has specific jobs and he helps with anything if they need it. That's what the boss does, especially when there's only 6 total employees including himself.
Inviting only his friends isn't something to be surprised about. He's the boss, he was given full freedom to choose his employees. It makes sense that he would invite friends he knows are suited for specific jobs; due to familiarity and workplace chemistry causing better flow. It also helps that with guests; he can knows a wide variety of different people that he can invite that aren't just actors.
About Chinese Restaurant, Xiaoming Ge obviously has more experience being a manager but the recent seasons are not managed by him alone. They literally have Lin Shuwei, an actual big name chef with actual restaurants he runs to keep the kitchen work flowing well (he also hardly makes mistakes when cooking). Having someone like that changes everything and he's basically the other manager when. it comes to the kitchen.
"Clearly the others are also tiring themselves out, but it's conveniently left out." Wtf? Again what are you talking about? Literally in the 1st episode they are showing how everyone working hard to organize things even without their boss, and how much chaos it causes, how tiring it is. Wu Zelin was shown getting overwhelmed with doing both cooking and other things and also having back soreness. Zhang Chenxiao had similar problems. Those are just a few examples.
Some of these complaints are understandable, but what you said about not showing the others getting tired is so absurd that I don't know how you came to that thinking.
Please let this be real and please cast the same actors and actresses!!🙏🏻
This was never a rumor; it was confirmed officially all the way back in Nov 2025 and it even has a leaked poster already. Though the only confirmed casting is Wang Hedi as Xu Qi'an again.
why is there no work from him since 2024? He was amazing in LBFD
Look out for Light to the Night (黑夜告白) releasing this April. You can also look forward to Live Long and Prosper (咸鱼飞升) releasing later this year at earliest, and 将门毒后 that is probably releasing next year. Then there's Guardians of Dafeng Season 2 (大奉打更人 第二季) that hasn't been filmed yet but will come out eventually [also it's called Guardian of Fate in the poster for some reason.]
I doubt they will cahnge character casting randomly like that, its supposed to continue from where we left off…
Why would he film another drama before January 2027? If 将门毒后 finishes filming in summer 2026, then from then until January is not too long. I also don't think Wang Hedi would not prioritize Dafeng over anything else.
Plus there's no official confirmation of January 2027.
I doubt they will cahnge character casting randomly like that, its supposed to continue from where we left off…
What are you talking about? Joy of Life/Qing Yu Nian is based on a novel that ran from 2007-2009. Dafeng is based on a novel that ran from 2020 to 2021.
I doubt they will cahnge character casting randomly like that, its supposed to continue from where we left off…
Yuewen is a literature company that is backed by Tencent and owns a lot of popular IPs. Dafeng is probably included as one of them.
The people 'leaking' it are probably employees of Yuewen, on XHS there are actual videos of them holding the same poster of Dafeng Season 2 along with posters of other projects.
I doubt they will cahnge character casting randomly like that, its supposed to continue from where we left off…
The poster is from Yuewen, it's basically official. Everything about it also looks similar to the first poster of Season 1 from 2-3 years ago, the writing and the drawings of the characters.
As I said; it's just a concept poster, they will officially acknowledge things like this when they finalize the casting.
Anyways the part about the fan club saying shoot starts in July is irrelevant and have no reason to believe it. It's just that the poster looks legit and it would signify that filming will happen not too long from now.

Look at the photos......... It's in the photo gallery. It says 「我不是英雄，我只是没退路」, hinting at the famous Yunzhou Case that everyone who read the novel wants to see.
The English title is 'Guardian of Fate' for some reason even though the Chinese title is just 大奉打更人第二季。
It's a concept photo which is probably why it wasn't uploaded, but it's clearly official and it hints at Season 2 starting filming this year at some point.

The official poster was revealed a few weeks ago, obviously it will be filmed otherwise that poster wouldn't be shown (plus Dafeng S1 was too much of a success to not adapt the rest of the story).
Wang Hedi is choosing the right path for his acting career so far. He has made good use of the fame that Cang Lan Jue gave him in 2022, choosing unique roles and interesting stories in different genres. Dafeng and Xu Qi'an in particular might be the best result of the his breakout fame.
I hope in the future he can keep choosing diverse roles and star in both great dramas and movies. So that more and more people can be convinced by how great he is.
