So this drama was filmed a few years ago and hasn’t been intentionally shelved but has taken longer than usual to air. Xianxia C-drama A Moment But Forever is on deck for iQiyi which has submitted the final cut for airing approval recently. It was originally a 31-episode drama and frankly like a B-grade project due to female lead Tang Yan‘s then decreased popularity and male lead Liu Xue Yi still up-and-coming. But in recent months Tang Yan had a career resurgence thanks to Blossoms Shanghai and Liu Xue Yi had a breakout with In Blossom, so iQiyi has added back scenes and the drama will be 38-episodes. The original story was female lead-centric and Tang Yan was top billed, but with Liu Xue Yi’s popularity the production added a lot more male lead scenes. But then there was blowback once the news got out so now it’s pared that back and will remain female lead centric but with the additional episodes. Whew, feels like navigating a moving maze lol.
