Liu Shi Shi and Deng Wei Cast in Tencent Period Investigation Mystery Drama Kill My Sins
So this is basically a done deal unless something drastic happens, the pairing and the scheduling both work well. A new Tencent produced C-drama is kicking off pre-production called Kill My Sins (Chinese title Zhang Xin 掌心 Palm of the Hand). It’s a big S-level female lead top billed drama and will star Liu Shi Shi who goes into filming this after she wraps Fox Spirit Matchmaker the Zhu Ye chapter. The male lead role was reportedly being contested between Xu Kai and Deng Wei and has landed with the latter, with Deng Wei opening up his schedule for this after his currently filming drama Love of the Divine Tree finishes shooting. I’m assuming C-dramas filmed this year in 2024 will be earliest released in 2025 so put this on the far out calendar to expect.
Yikes.
Though they fit, considering other things.
Not really a fan of Deng Wei, but at least there is no real risk he’ll steal the show as Liu Yuning did.
You sure about that?
Deng Wei looks so plastic! Other than that, I’m indifferent to his acting. I just dislike his PR very much.
Your comment just caught me off guard. lol I have never heard of anyone said that he looks plastic. If anything, he looks ethereal in costumes. He looks good in real life as well but better in costume series. I get that he’s not everyone cup of tea but he’s not plastic looking.
I’m not sure about this pairing even if I like both of them. Liu Shi Shi does look young but I think she will pair better with an older actor. I wish Liu Xue Yi would have more projects. He would be great here with LSS.
Deng Wei has weird-looking nose, lips, and jawline. They don’t look natural to me, very distracting. LOL
Liu Xue Yi would be an awesome choice as well. He’s so underrated imo.
@panda-eyes, I think LXY a better choice, both visually and acting-wise than Deng Wei. I honestly don’t get the hype and obsession over DW after Lost You Forever. I watched 20-21 eps of LYF and dropped. DW had done absolutely nothing to me in those eps. The other two MLs had stronger presence than DW.
I think there are so many actors with cosmetic procedures done that it is beginning to look natural to some…
I too think Deng Wei looks plastic…just as one of the C-actress I like, YangZi is definitely plastic looking.. The sharp jaw line, structured nose, super whitened skin, along with others… Such is the new norm… Industry standards must be met, I guess.
But as long as their dramas are entertaining to watch, I will just close one eye… and enjoy the production.
LSS is 36 years old and beautiful. LSS & DW will be a hit
I gotta agree with this. I watched him in TTEOM and he was so bland. He looks so good standing still, but even when he talks normally, his jaws and mouth looks weirdly distrating to me, I guess that’s why he kept the expressions to a minimum. I actually felt frustrated for him as his Second Lead part has so much potential, and he looks so good in character.
It’s because they cut so many of his scenes and make his character less interesting. He looks so good in Til The End of the Moon!
I will pick Deng Wei over Xu Kai.
FU to all the WeiWei haters! He is naturally handsome! Plastic? Stop with the nonsense and making up things because he is getting more popular and better roles and endorsements than your idol! I am sick and tired of all the hates! I bet you that this drama will be a big hit because his diamonds are strongly behind him! The last laugh is from Deng Wei and his diamonds!
@Anonn
You sound unstable. Go out, touch grass. This man has no idea who you are and presenting yourself like this will not change that.
Honey, the unstable one are the ones making up things and spreading false news!
I think you replied to the wrong person. Paj said they prefer Deng Wei over Xu Kai.
There’s no confirmation yet but okay…
Before Liu Shi Shi, Esther Yu was the one rumored to act in this one. Now that Liu Shi Shi is in, are we certain they will keep Deng Wei as the male lead??
Either way I don’t mind, I love them both therefore I’m looking forward to their collaboration. Working with such a seasoned actress can only help Deng Wei to hone his skills…
I believe before Esther, the original rumor was that yangmi, yang zi, or Liu Shi Shi was considered for this.
Never watch this guy before but I, personally, would love to see someone similar in age to act opposite LSS.
I recommend Miss the Dragon and Lost You Forever!
Lol anti fans like you is like a virus that needs to be eradicated🤣
Lol. Crazed netizens will definitely get what they want. He won’t be overshadowing her, that’s for sure… which means….. he isn’t talented enough to carry a storyline, good or bad, so this production will likely be lacking.
I’m always rooting for these actors, but the majority of these pretty boy Chinese actors stay pretty even when they’re supposed to be in character, SIGH.
Hopefully I’m proven wrong.
You must be blind! Deng Wei is an amazing actor! He can definitely carry a drama on his own! He was second male lead in Lost You Forever and won most popular character! His acting outshined the Male Lead and I bet will outshine the male lead in Rosy Cloud! Not only he has the looks and height, his personality has won so many loyal fans over! Do your research! KOALA YOU need to write biography on Deng Wei and his achievements since his powerful performance from Lost You Forever! DENG WEI with only 5 millions fans has broke so many records! His career has just started, yet he has out beat so many who has been in the industry for so long. Sorry I felt like people need to know, seems like you readers are not educated about Deng Wei! There so much hate here! I apologize for sounding rude, but I am sick and tired of reading so many negative comments!
Omgah 🫢 lol. This was just my prediction, based off of recent and decades long trends in Chinese dramaland. Lol. This drama will likely be meh like so many others. I don’t think very highly of LSS’ acting anyways. I’m always looking to be pleasantly surprised though!
I never liked her, never hate her either. Just wish it was another actress. Zhao Lusi or Esther would be better fitted, in my opinion.
I think Deng Wei and his fans will make it a big hit! Don’t worry!
so you’re saying the ratings/data will be inflated by his fans…?
He can’t buy views like he buys 18 million likes on Weibo then when he gets called out for it, cries that someone is trying to frame him.
Guy is a joke.
LSS so pretty in that pic!
Wow! Looks like Deng Wei is not well liked as much. His acting is good and he has the height; at least he doesn’t do a poor job at acting but he hasn’t had a role that can make you go wow, I’m a fan now! I always thought he looks older than his age though. I felt like AJTL was always a FL+ML story, but the production team had to come out saying it was a FL centric drama and top billed LSS because they were afraid of the backlash. Thankfully LSS only cared about the character and the success of AJTL as a whole so she was humble throughout the ordeal.
He can’t act but he is excellent at playing outside games. The amount of stuff he has pulled just in the last few days…well if you have Weibo you know.
Good luck LSS, you are going to need it.
You seems like a hater with an agenda to attack Deng Wei’s character so viciously. Has he done something to you personally? Is it because your bias isn’t getting enough attention or recognition anymore because of Deng Wei? Grow up and just enjoy the shows. It’s all for good fun. Deng Wei is a hard working and talented newcomer. Give him a break. He doesn’t need you to support him, but he certainly doesn’t deserve your hate.
I wish it was Esther and not Lui Sheshe! She looks to old for Wei Wei! Esther is cuter and a better actress, she would also generate more traffic than LSS. Why are they pairing these younger handsome men with the these older actress that no one cares about or forgotten. So pissed!
You must be trolling. Normal people don’t use that many exclamation marks. “Wei Wei”? How infantalizing. 👋
LOL, your comment is hella biased. I dare you make that comment in national China because they certainly haven’t forgot her. You’re definitely an Esther fan that got sad your artist didn’t get their hands on this project. Also, I find it funny how your bashing on other people’s comment about their comment on Deng Wei yep goes around and bash Liu Shi Shi just because you think she’s forgotten.
Lol.. yes…goes around getting annoy at others who make negative comments on Deng Wei but will turn around bashing Liu Shishi.
Deng Wei idol worshipper practising hypocrisy…Such fans carries no merit…
What I said is facts. I didn’t say anything bad about Liu she She. She is an older actress that people almost forgot about, that’s why she has to come and film xianxia dramas again, pairing up with the more younger and popular actor, so people don’t forget her! These type of roles should be left for the younger actresses! I tried to watch her new drama with Liu Yu Ning, sorry the two of them did not have chemistry and she did appear older than him. I didn’t say she is ugly or bash her look. But the one she pair up with is younger looking. The traffic between her and Esther is night and day, the facts is according to the stats, go research yourself. I’m not an obsessive fan. I have my own life and I only can see which actor has a future, I come here once in awhile for entertainment and when there is something on Deng Wei, I would read more negative comments then positive ones, really people don’t even give him a chance or even watch the drama. I am happy Deng Wei going to his first red carpet and will even win an award for most favorite actor! Did you know all his endorsement have high engagements and sales. Higher than Xiao Zhan and Dylan Wang! I’m laughing at all the people who looked down on him. He went through a lot and didn’t have work for 1 year because of made up speculations about his attitude! He work really hard and he deserves to be on top. Good luck!
@Anony are you a troll? Why would you say something like his sales and engagement for his endorsements are higher than Xiao Zhan and Dylan Wang? You’re trying to trigger their fans. I have nothing against Deng Wei. The whole Yu Zheng controversy was stupid and I don’t know why anyone ever takes that Yu Zheng guy seriously. But you’re not doing Deng Wei any favors by insulting Liu Shishi by calling her old or pitting him against other liulangs. You can defend your boy without dragging others. Have some manners.
I only comparing towards Xiao Zhan and Dylan Wang because they have really HIGH Fans Engagement and popularity, it is more of compliment. I don’t want to cause fan war only to show how good he is doing even little number of fans(5 mil) . Sorry English is not my first or strong language, it’s hard to express what I want to say without sounding another way. It’s my fault, I don’t want you to hate the WeiWei, because of me. I don’t want fan war either.
It’s always sad to see women acting ageist towards their fellow women. I expect men to act like this, but when women do this, it’s sad as hell.
Also, do you realize that by perpetuating ageism, you’re just perpetuating a culture that will also affect you in the future when you get old? Tsk tsk
Liu Shi Shi still looks good for her age. I didn’t mean to insult her, I just saying some of the story doesn’t match these older actress anymore. They should act roles fit for their looks and age.
You are wrong, Liu shi shi acting is way better than esther bruh. Shi Shi will generate more traffic than Esther. Esther have not reached the peak of her carrer yet while Shi Shi have already get there many years back
i still dunno to wish Shi Shi have or have not picken up this drama as this drama is not a high production (not S+ DRAMA) The budget for this drama is not even huge. After hiring Shi Shi, the male lead buget will be low becoz She is a S+ actress in China. Shi Shi alr have her own upcoming S+ tier drama coming in 2024 which is Fox spirt matchmaker. But if she still deicde to pick up this drama, i will still support her as her acting is good. ~
To end fanwars between fans of both idols
Both are truely very mediocre actors and look very medically enhanced
But they both look very beautiful and stunning in front of the cameras
Lol. I agree with this. Just decent enough. This drama will be like a lot of Chinese dramas with pretty people… just barely passable… 🤷🏻♂️
Ahahahah are you sure it’s not going to incite more? But truly, no one is actually amazing if they’re still picking costume drama
All these comments about the actress being older. Sigh. I have no words. Lin Shen is almost 20 years older than Zhao Lusi in Dating in the Kitchen. I don’t feel like poeple make a fuss about that. I don’t know the story, but maybe the role calls for an older female? Liu Shishi honestly looks great still. Deng Wei also has a mature enough face, where I feel like he’ll pair fine next to her.
They did make a fuss about his age, it was a big topic. It still is even today when that drama is mentioned.
I’ve seen others suggest it as dramas to watch for Zhao Lusi’s and no one says anything about it. There are so many gross age gaps where the male lead is way older, but are all beloved dramas. I pretty much skipped all the scenes with Goblin and his bride. I couldn’t even bring myself to watch Mr. Sunshine. Jerry Yan’s last two dramas also had huge age gaps. In the post for Count Your Lucky Stars, while there are a couple of people who found the 20 year age gap gross, most people just made comments about how “youthful” looking Jerry Yan is. The double standard is real.
I agree they should pair up actors appropriately. I don’t know why the older actors and older actress not get pair together. Why so many dramas with older actress and younger guy. I didn’t watch the drama with Jerry Yan and Zhao Lusi, not interested in older man and younger woman story either.
I dont like dropping dramas when I do start one…but I did drop Journey to Love midway, plot did not entertain me at all…
I hope this will be better…
Esther Yu acting cannot make it. Glad that she was edges out. Rooting for Shi Shi that have a way better acting. I still dunno if Shi Shi should even pick up this work as the production budget of this drama is not huge and is just a normal production show (not S+ drama) . After hiring Shi Shi, the production budget for meal lead will be even lower.
