Filming was originally planned to begin in March. However, with the sudden change of director, the shooting schedule was postponed from March to June.

Directors usually don’t decide on costumes. The person responsible for costumes is the costume designer. If the series is a major production, they will likely present the best costume styles. I’m sure that will be the case. Because since ARP 2025 became so popular here, all series have been prepared with high quality. Still, in some big productions, they can’t always deliver the very best costumes. In this case, the platform and the director must have high expectations from the costume designer so that they create the finest work.

Actually, I don’t care much about age. What matters to me is the couple’s chemistry on screen. Both the actor and actress are talented performers. I just hope the makeup and costumes are arranged in such a way that the female lead doesn’t end up looking too small and weak.

I think you’re unaware of this. Both TTEOM and Only for Love were released in 2023. So OfL was not filmed after TTEOM had aired. AlsoAlso, in the drama LBFD, his name was listed in the second position in the cast ranking.That means he wasn’t yet popular enough to be the first lead actor. The drama that made him a first-line actor was Guardians of the Dafeng.

If anyone wants to send flowers on MDL to support Zheng Ye Cheng without paying a fee, and help him rise higher on the list, send me a message. I’ll teach you how. Let’s all support him together!

When Bai Lu worked with Dylan Wang, neither Bai Lu nor Dylan Wang were big names. They both became highly popular only in the last two years. But in the current situation, Xiao Zhan is already a top-tier actor. Of course, bringing the two together would not only involve financial issues but also trigger fan wars. For example, just like Dylan Wang and Meng Zi Yi’s drama that is currently being filmed.

DJRB913 (Author): Ximen Chuixue and Tongluo are chatting in a motorhome.

Zheng Yecheng: Do you want to come over to my place and sit for a while?
Riley Wang: Sure.
In the drama, the two of them just finished a fight, and Tongluo even got wounded by the black-sheathed sword and bled. These two, who are mortal enemies in the show, are having a good time and getting into the same motorhome in real life—it’s so cute!
Zheng Yecheng (Ximen Chuixue) and Riley Wang (Tongluo) get into a fight at the slightest provocation in the drama. According to the power levels in the original work, it would be absolutely impossible for Ximen Chuixue to harm Yu Luosha even a little! However, it has definitely been adapted for the TV series; it feels like Ximen Chuixue’s combat power is very high, while Tongluo, one of Yu Luosha’s clones/avatars, ends up getting injured.

I no longer agree with the claim that he 'degraded women.' I did some research on this topic yesterday, and there is no clear evidence for it. What bothers me is his racism, and the fact that fans defend him on this matter.

I understand what you mean. But I am just sharing my opinion as a fan. Honestly, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that. Because fans in China talk about these things too. The things you mentioned are done by official fan clubs. They avoid unnecessary speculation. Fans like us, who are small and unofficial, talk about possibilities. But I will try to be more careful.

This series was a project specifically prepared by Yu Zheng to make Zhao Qing popular. In fact, just two weeks before the shooting began, ZQ was involved in a scandal. Usually, in such situations, actors are dropped from projects, but nothing happened to her. Because, as I mentioned, this was a project backed by Yu Zheng.

The information I share is always based on updates from Weibo and Xiaohongshu. As for the message I quoted above, Zheng Yecheng said it during an interview he gave for Tencent, and the entire explanation was taken from there. So, I always strive never to provide incorrect information. It’s just that there might be misunderstandings for those who don't know the situation in depth.

Actually, there was a different truth behind it. Yes, I knew this too. Yu Zheng is a well-known, leading producer and agency manager in the industry. The likelihood of his projects being broadcast is certain. Da Cheng has filmed many costume dramas over the past five years, but only two of them were aired. He is aware of this as well. Moreover, last year his fans protested because he hadn’t joined a new drama for a long time. He knows his fans are worried. That’s why, to please them, he gave up his old image and switched to short dramas. Even now, he doesn’t take on leading roles in long historical dramas. Instead, he continues to play secondary leads. This is a move he made to ensure his dramas get broadcast.

A screenshot of the messages with the director has been shared in the comments section.

Some mistakes can be compensated for with an apology. However, intentionally demeaning an individual or a race shows that, even if he apologizes, his true feelings toward that individual or race remain unchanged and he will always hold that perspective. Do feelings really change with just an apology? Do you honestly expect us to believe that?
Furthermore, the issue was never about him apologizing; it was about what he actually thinks.

I’m unaware of those fandom fights. From what I gather, ZLH fans previously clashed with Bai Lu and Zhao Jin Mai fans. But I don’t know the details myself.

Still, one thing is certain: arguments never arise out of nowhere. Because of the mistakes and aggressiveness they showed in the past, they’re now being targeted. And some people are enjoying watching it happen.

He’s being racist. Are you really comparing that to a normal mistake?

Photos of Sun Zhen Ni and Zheng Ye Cheng filming together were released yesterday. I’m so curious about what kind of conversation they were having. I wish I had a link to the novel; I guess I’ll have to do some digging online for that.
According to a ZYC fan, the woman who admires Ximen Chui Xue will be Sun Xiu Qing (played by Liu Meng Rui). However, I’m really hoping for a "CP" dynamic with SZN’s character 🥲.
Also, I don't think Sun Zhen Ni is just a guest actress. She attended the opening ceremony, after all. Why would they invite a guest actress to the official opening ceremony?actress to the opening ceremony anyway?

Unlike you, I always felt that he was radiating a strange energy I couldn’t quite explain. And usually, the actors I get this feeling about end up having major scandals at some point.

Moreover, he had previously used offensive words directed at women. They explain this in detail in the Reddit link. In other words, he has repeatedly belittled people he doesn’t like. So, is this really something that should be defended? Let the critics criticize. After all, he is in the public eye. And think about how much his words have hurt the audience…

I’m not saying anything should happen to him. My words are directed at the fans who defend him even though he is wrong. Why would you defend someone when he’s done something wrong?
