So I see a trend here with C-actress Liu Shi Shi and I’m not sure if it’s intentional or coincidental. She’s in talks for a period C-drama titled Kill My Sins and earlier in the month it was rumored to costar Deng Wei. But now the male actor in talks for the lead is Shawn Dou (Dou Xiao) and honestly it’s equivalent for me so either one works. I just think she’s angling for super tall male leads what with Liu Yu Ning from A Journey to Love and now both rumored male leads for Kill My Sins are super tall as well. Her visuals remain top notch and I love seeing her with compatible male leads onscreen.
Shawn Dou stole the spotlight from Lin Gengxin in Princess Agents. He was decent in The Legend of Xiao Chuo but I dropped this drama cos the story sucks and is boring like many C drama drags. Deng Wei had done nothing to me in Lost You Forever and I don’t get the fangirl hype over him. LOL. It’s good for LSS to costar with SD not DW. I’ll definitely check out this drama.
Really? I hated him in it or his character lol and he isn’t my cup of tea either.
Anyway I’m still waiting for this.
I think Shawn is a better fit for LSS too. Shawn has a more mature look.
Yes to Shawn Dou! Another sexy man. Much better visuals than the other one, imo, and more age appropriate.
Agreed. I prefer the age appropriate sexy man over a pretty man that doesn’t match the visuals
Oh Shawn Dou, please. He will act circles around Sleeping Beauty there.
Shawn Dou gets my vote. They look more compatible.
Hopefully its Shawn Dou instead. Its not jus the age but the aura.
Been a long time since I saw Shawn. Loved him in Princess Agents and agree with the comments that he outshines LGX. He’ll definitely be a visual upgrade over LYN as well.

Much better looking and age appropriate! Where has he been? I feel like I haven’t heard about a new project with Shawn for ages. Granted, I mainly get my C-drama news from this blog so maybe Koala just hasn’t been covering him?
Always really liked LSS and happy to see her comeback is such a success and she is so in demand. She is on another level compared to so many of the actresses being pushed these days. She and Liu Yu Ning are really great in ‘A Journey to Love’ too
Deng Wei is a terrible actor. The other is a better choice.
SD is a go for me, finalise this casting already
This came as a surprise and definitely the better melon! Seems like from the sypnosis, both characters are morally grey so it’ll be nice to have SD play with LSS. Both are visually matched and age appropiate. Maybe I’ll finally be a SD fan if he picks this up.
SD is better choice than mediocre DW. I hope it will get capable director too.
Not interested anymore…he’s not my cup of tea (looks-wise and acting wise). I would rather see her with someone like Chen Xiao or Liu Xueyi. A pity because plot looks very interesting…oh well *disappointed*
Deng Wei was never meant to pair with LSS. He was rumored with Esther so please get your facts straight. That’s why there’s in the casting rounds again as Esther is not in the picture anymore.
I don’t like Dou Xiao in princess agent.. and he is not my cup of tea too… So may be I pass this series … But I think he is better choice than Deng Wei.. DX almost the same age with LSS..
