So it feels like every popular drama C-actress and C-actor has a drama currently filming, currently/pending airing, and another one in talks always at the same time. This week C-ent casting rumor mills has Bai Lu and Cheng Lei in 莫离 (Mo Li). The excitement is that the director is Lin Yu Fen who a lot of people are waiting for her directed The Demon Hunter’s Romance to air and she’s also the talented eye behind Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles Peach Blossoms, Lost Love in Times, The Journey of Flower, and Bu Bu Jing Xin among her many works. Her strong suit is big female lead story arc dramas filmed very prettily. Other male actor names thrown in for Mo Li also include Cheng Yi and Li Yun Rui.
So this drama was announced last year with big excitement since it was the pairing…
So this is a big casting news so rather frustrating to have zero anything substantive…
It's not been a good start to 2025 for K-dramas, with the first big release…
The C-drama Guardians of the Dafeng isn't just an oddball in terms of the tone…
So the early airing rumors last month said Legend of the Female General would be…

Cheng Yi is a big name. I dont think he is willing to play second billing to Bailu in female centered drama. And I am ok with either Cheng Lei or Li Yunrui
Cheng Yi name was never considered big or part of A-listers though? Being 2nd billing to Bai Lu is very much possible especially if the main investor will not be his agency/company. CY was able to get 1st billing not bec he’s a big star but bec most of his dramas were invested or produced by his own agency. This is common in c-ent and the other example I can think of will be Zhao Lusi
Is this a joke? Even at Tencent event a few days ago, he was sat in C position besides ZRY, ZLY and other veterans. His position in the industry is pretty clear.
Cheng Yi was never in talks with this drama. He's been filming male centric dramas back to back for two years now and it is said that his next three projects have already been decided.
