C-ent goes through It Girls like a fast speed conveyor belt and in recent two years Zheng Shuang has settled from her in every C-drama heyday to breaks between projects. This year she had the C-drama Rush to the Dead Summer with Cheney Chen and there are filmed C-dramas slated for 2018 but none have been top of the buzz charts in either airing or pre-production. Perhaps the buzz has died down for her next role but it’s still a big name drama name to generate plenty of interest – after months of speculation the role that Jeon Ji Hyun played to worldwide fame as the actress female lead in K-drama You From Another Star has landed with Zheng Shuang for the C-drama remake. I feel like this remake should have happened three years ago when YFAS was the hottest thing since sliced cheese but perhaps this will work out in the long run because the gap will give people less straight up comparisons and a chance for Zheng Shuang to make her Chinese Chun Song Yi a character all her own.
The biggest buzz for the male lead of Chinese YFAS has been Zheng Shuang’s former costar Jin Bo Ran, with the two starring in the popular Chinese remake of Queen In Hyun’s Man called Love Through the Millennium. I can totally see this and think Jin Bo Ran is a solid pick, and my choice over someone like Yang Yang who has the looks but still hasn’t convinced me that he’s got the acting range and emotive depth.
So this is the drama trolly producer Yu Zheng recently praised as better than Goblin…
So the most recent casting for this drama is now confirmed as the final selection…
So there is a popularity award in both the film and the television sections of…
I have such a soft spot for C-actress Yang Mi and it just makes me…
So Queen of Tears was filmed in 2023 and wrapped awhile ago so it's not…
I think viewers are being either honest or stingy with their votes but the latest…

I cannot imagine Zheng Shuang playing Jun Jihyun's role at all. She always plays the meek, mild-mannered kind of characters, and is awkward af at emoting.
Also is this even true? I didn't see the news anywhere lol.
We have a Thai remake and now we've got a Chinese remake as well <3
I'm not a fan of hers, but I'm willing to give this a try =)
Hi
The Thai remake is still in production so will check it out once it’s done and will also check the Chinese remake one as well if there’s sub.
I can't stand her in anything she evn stop me frm watching love 020 ..nobody can do song yi better than jeon ji hyun anyway..
Jeon Ji Hyun played herself in My Love From the Stars. They should have casted the actress who has same personality as JJH.
By the way this drama though earned a large following was faraway from perfection so I even don't see the need of remaking it.
The first actress who comes to mind is Jiang Xin.
Hi @Fraud, why do you change your name to "Farway"? Are you so ashamed on what you posted previously as "Fraud"??
Don't you remember I'm really bad with remembering words. I even forget my user name. I only remember the initial! Oh! Now I remeber you are little forgetful.?
By the way thanks for saying Hi!?
Vickie Zhao would've been my pick.
I would love to see how she will play the role.
She literally CANT act. Oh why? Cant they cast someone mature with great acting? I mean, age doesnt matter but maturity does for this role. Why not Fan Bing Bing since she's one of the most popular actresses. I hope she leaves this.
But boran is in another lev. Boy can act well.
^agreed, her acting from what I've seen recently unfortunately is not up to par for this role.
I love Zheng Shuang no matter what they say against her. I started to like and watch cdrama since I watch her with Yang Yang on Love 020. She is one of my favorite chinese actress with Yang Mi and Liu Shi Shi. I will definitely watch the remake.
this Cdrama or Tdrama?,i am sorry, i just wondering why Chinese people still making this drama if Chinese government banned korean entertainment?
It would be a cdrama. Even before the Korean entertainment ban started, China has had a history of remaking Korean dramas, but only some of the production companies actually bought the rights to remake them. The drama remakes that don't buy rights are usually just broadcasted in China, so they don't really get any punishment for it. So if this drama really is in the works, it could be a remake that didn't obtain the remake rights.
Doomed for failure. Remaking a famous and well-loved drama. I sometimes wonder the Chinese do it just for $$$, no matter how bad their drama is, they have viewers due to population. Hideous.
I would totally watch it for Jin Boran.
I don't think Yang Yang will take it bc he's supposed to star in the live action adaptation of The King's Avatar.
