Esther yu and zhang yunlong has such a good chemistry. can’t wait to see them on my screen.
The height of Esther Yu Shuxin and Zhang Yun Long are perfect. Esther really needs a male lead actor that are taller than her. That will be one of the characteristics of a male lead if he wanted to be paired to her.
According to Esther Yu Shuxin during her Livestream Event yesterday night for the MAIA ACTIVE brand sportswear, she already finished dubbing the drama " Road To Success ( TV Series As Bright As Stars ) so it's coming soon! Let's look forward to that! Let's wait patiently for the official drama premiere!
look like they aren’t planning to join any variety shows to promote this drama .
Esther Yu Shuxin and her students in the upcoming iQIYI drama " Road To Success " ( TV Series As Bright As Stars already finished filming the iQIYI variety show " Farm It " Let's wait when will be the airing date of that show
Even though they care about each other, the female lead ( Jiang Mu ) played by Esther Yu Shuxin never stops with her studies or personal growth. She keeps moving forward even when she can't find the male lead ( Jin Chao ) played by He Yu takes care of her sick mom, and never lets love become her whole world. Everyone's just learning and growing in their own way, living authentically and with clarity.
The onscreen chemistry of the female lead and male lead are amazing! They look so sweet in every scene. Esther Yu Shuxin and He Yu perfectly portrayed the character role of Jiang Mu and Jin Zhao from the web novel Shuang Gui where the drama was adapted.
There's none of that over-the-top love triangle drama or forced conflicts that you usually see. Instead, it shows the regret of unrequited love, the relief of making peace with your past, the strength to stick together through tough times, and all the little choices we make as we grow up.
They're all focused on their own lives, not just lost in romance. Even though they care about each other, the female lead never stops with her studies or personal growth. She keeps moving forward even when she can't find the male lead, takes care of her sick mom, and never lets love become her whole world. Everyone's just learning and growing in their own way, living authentically and with clarity.
While waiting for the drama " Road To Success " ( TV Series As Bright As Stars ) starring Esther Yu Shuxin and Chen Jingke, we can read the web novel where the drama was adapted.
wait. I don't remember seeing the 'romance' genre listed for this drama before. Was it added recently? I thought…
Any drama adapted from a web novel can be revised by the writtee of the drama so I think there are scenes not in the web novel but will appear in the actual drama " Road To Success " ( TV Series As Bright As Stars )

👉Actress Esther Yu Shuxin successfully passed the approval audit for an S+ level iQIYI xianxia (colossal fantasy) drama project titled Changsheng Gu — all by herself, without the presence of a male lead.
👉This rare pattern is known as danren guohui (单人过会) — a project approved based on confirmation of just one name. In the Chinese entertainment industry, S+ level ancient costume dramas usually require the main couple to be complete before production begins. The fact that iQIYI allowed the (decide the female lead first, then choose the male lead) pattern is direct recognition of this actress’s commercial value. Her track record is solid.
👉Adapted from Yi Du Jun Hua’s novel Shenxian Rou, Changsheng Gu is a special-order drama with the original costume and makeup team from Canglanjue. Set construction in Hengdian is scheduled from July 1–17, with Esther Yu Shuxin scheduled for costume fittings around June 20 and joining the shoot at the end of June.
👉The only big question mark: the male lead has not been announced.
—👉however, negotiations over the credit position (fanwei) were said to have hit a dead end. Yu Shuxin’s fans themselves are relatively relaxed: the character He Pan as the female lead is the core of the story, and the male lead position is considered secondary.
👉How excited are you for this drama? Who do you think is the most suitable to be the male lead of Changsheng Gu?
👉before the official announcement for the ML of this drama..
The storytelling flows so smoothly, the camera work is clean and pleasing, the visuals are gorgeous, and the story is just so healing. It's the kind of show that sticks with you and makes you think about life and growing up. Definitely worth watching more than once.
This was a solid 8 for me until the third act breakup. I can't stand the self righteous breakup tropes in dramas.…
Every character feels so real and well-developed. They're all focused on their own lives, not just lost in romance. Even though they care about each other, the female lead never stops with her studies or personal growth. She keeps moving forward even when she can't find the male lead, takes care of her sick mom, and never lets love become her whole world. Everyone's just learning and growing in their own way, living authentically and with clarity.
I really wanted to give this one a try ... but adopted siblings are still siblings, so that's a huge no for me
It might look like just another teen romance drama, but it's really about two young people growing up and staying true to themselves. They are childhood friends because the male lead's parents died in an accident. Only the father's friend can take care of Jin Zhao.
