So this drama has been in the works for over a year and originally the leads were supposed to be Zhang Wan Yi and Tian Xi Wei. But with C-casting, it’s not over till its over and in recent weeks it’s pretty clear that drama will be Yang Yang’s next big project as male lead. The drama is titled In the Moonlight (or Thousand Miles of Bright Moonlight) based on the same name novel and is an arranged marriage enemies of warring kingdoms to lovers story. The female lead will be fast rising newcomer Bao Shang En who debuted in 2022 and has the high profile role of Huang Rong in the New Jinyong Universe drama coming up. The confirmations should be out soon as the drama is slated to kick off production shortly.
I remotely recall someone saying that “Moonlight” wasn’t being abused by cdrama names yet… I guess they’re starting now… lol
I said it and here we go. LOL. I even thought Koala is deliberately doing this with banter. Hahaha
Why do they write it wrong? Is it called something else?
I watched this girl in supporting role in Fake It Till You Make It. She made quite an impression to me and gives off Seo YeJi vibes from IONTBO. I’m not surprised at her rising so fast. I think she will make a splash with the JinYong drama.
She was good in that drama. Yang Yang is my issue. He’s good-looking but so boring to watch.
Really? I liked him in FWOMH 😂
That’s the whole reason I even know Bao Shang En…I love Fake It Till You Make It! One of the best modern cdramas i’ve watched in the last year or so! So mundane and relatable yet the relationships were sweet and believable. The male and female leads have great chemistry, too! Highly recommend it!
I’m looking forward to Bao Shangen. From photos alone she looks pretty.
Maybe she is more grown up now but googling her, she looks super young.
She’s super young but looks good in modern dramas. Should be interesting to see how she and Yang Yang are together. I always think Yang Yang needs a more experienced/famous actress to challenge him.
Nah, getting a more experienced actress as his co-star means he’ll be second billed, which will hurt his ego.
No way, Yang Yang will look so bad with someone experienced and good. His lack of skills are not ready to be challenged as yet.
He looks bad already even alongside an average actress, lol.
Fake It till You Make It is a boring as heck drama. I don’t have any recollection of Bao Shang En at all. The only two C actresses of her generation who have ever impressed me are Zhang Jingyi in Lighter & Princess and Liu Hao Cun in Derailment (which I did not finish). Both these two actresses are beautiful and visually very recognizable on screen with natural but nuanced acting. BSE? Sorry don’t remember at all.
I’ll check Yang Yang’s costume or idol dramas. He could have chemistry with his leading ladies like Reba in You Are My Glory. There are always opportunities for actors to come back from flops as long as they keep getting projects. Although YY’s acting range is pretty limited so far, he may come across one drama for him to get over the plateau. Acting can be improved through feasible efforts. It’s not like visuals that can’t be fixed without getting under knives. LOL. I hope he’s aware of his big assets without solely relying on that to continue his career path.
Hi, have you ever seen Shen Yu Jie?
need to see how he bring up Han Li first. loved his acting in WRTW while others are hard to watch
I loved YY in FWOMH actually my first time watching his drama. It was not bc of the romantic stuff but the family and friendship that made me more curious and it is really one of the best. I don’t judge his acting I didn’t find any issues to be honest after that I started watching his other shows like Lo2o. Fist of all I was shocked how famous that show was in 2016 I remember that time I was still a kdrama fan so cdrama had no chance for me to watch. But when I started watching it, it was not really that much of a good cdrama. I mean YY role is so overdone. No matter how much he tried to look tough and older but still you could feel that the female lead is actually older. But whatever it’s already not in my fav list but I watched it till the end & their kiss scenes annoyed me every time I mean YY is so in the mood but the girl is just standing or lying like a dead corpse. Yah she was famous than YY already if you didn’t want to just don’t anyways it is not worth watching 🤷. After that I watched one of the most amazing series of YY(personal opinion) glory of special forces and I love that drama. It has every thing I want a drama to show and teach. Yang yang is amazing as YPY. & after that he became my favorite cdrama actor, he is really good. But he also has those bad choices like martial universe is one of the worst 🙄 seriously I don’t find anything interesting in that first season and the cgi or fake fantasy stuff is so boring also YY supposed to be a stupid dude but he is overdone that & they did a whole season of him being just like that maybe 10 ep or 20 but nope 40 eps the same characteristics & the only time felt and saw some growth in his character was in s2 when he lost his vision that a real fitting character. So I like martial universe only the s2 but a few ep in general the whole drama is a total of time money and energy. Again I had to watch glory of special forces to get back from the shock of MY. I also watched YAMG damn I was so not sure to continue watching that drama bc it was all gaming but the story of Yutu made me continue & YY is again amazing in it. I do think the king’s avatar is okay but YY is so different also someone else doing his voice is not that good idea. I also like who rules the world but I have to say the 1st time I watched it bc I saw Lusi is the FL despite being YY’s fan I went like “oh it’s the girl from tiger and rose” that I watched a few years ago. But ended up loving the whole show both YY and Lusi are amazing. I actually love most of YY’s drama bc I was not a cdrama fan and he made me become one. After so many years he is getting soo much hate I don’t know why. I am really looking forward to his new movie and drama. But why it’s taking so long 😩
