Ooooohhhhh I really like this! In one month we now have had three actors in talks for the period C-drama The Brocaded Tale of the Girl Si and the last and final is definitely my fave of the three. First there was Alan Fang, a great choice but not guaranteed since he’s not a big enough name. Then came Chen Zhe Yuan who has buzz but is coming off a less than stellar last drama ratings and some bad publicity with billing fights. Reportedly the production was nervous about that and ended up passing on him but has now secured Zhang Wan Yi as the male lead. He’s confirmed and will star opposite Jing Tian with the drama ready to start filming in Hendian next month in May 2024. These two together are going to bring the chemistry and intensity for sure!
