The number of dramas arriving next month in December 2024 has increased yet again, with news that iQiyi will release A Moment But Forever. It feels like a lifetime ago it seems when this drama was announced but it actually filmed last year but that was prior to female lead Tang Yan‘s big career break this year with Blossoms Shanghai. Now her team is not expecting much from this drama and may even want to distance her from it if the reception isn’t good so as to not dull her current shine. Male lead Liu Xue Yi will have had three dramas aired this year which is great for his career but the trajectory may be going downward in terms of how well each did one after the other. But maybe having low expectations is a good thing, this could end up a surprise.
Visually at least they look a great match. I like them both, so I hope this drama to be decent enough.
Also, Liu Xueyi must be one of the most handsome actors in China. I was watching his entry in In Blossom, where the crowd is going all “oh Mr Pan Yue, the most handsome man in the kingdom” and I was like yeah, for once the casting is matching the role!
I wonder if this will be good? Tang Yan earn high rating with Blossom Shanghai…hope this new drama will be good for her.
Liu Xueyi is steadily working his way up the ranks.
