First Set of Posters for Wuxia Period C-drama Go to the Mountains and Seas with Cheng Yi

So the big three male lead period C-dramas filmed last year in 2024, only one has aired and that’s Guardians of the Dafeng with Dylan Wang which started with less than strong reviews and reception but kept getting better and ended on a high note. Now there are two more and both will likely air in the first half of 2025, with The Immortal Ascension with Yang Yang tentatively slated by Youku for March and after that insiders are saying Tencent will release Go to the Mountains and Seas with Cheng Yi. There are new posters out for Mountains and Seas and the big conceit which is being openly publicized is that Cheng Yi plays three different characters, a modern dude and then in the wuxia novel itself two different warrior characters one with black hair and then a white haired dude. Reportedly the source IP is strong and well-written and Cheng Yi has delivered many a hits so this could be the dark horse between what was considered a battle between Dylan and Yang Yang for top dog.








Dont think I will watch this…
Cdrama has become boring again after Blossom. LOL.
I checked Li Yunrei’s new modern drama yesterday. I fast forwarded 5 eps. It tried to mimic Reply 1988 but ended up with a snoozefest beginning. LMAO. Unlike in Blossom, LYR is almost non-existent in this C copycat. I’ll wait for Princess Agents 2.
I read it is his first lead drama filmed afew years ago but released on. I do find dramas some of this idols filmed before breakout can be disappointing.
It’s nothing new really. The plot was draggy full of frivolous mundane as usual business in all the non-costume C dramas. LYR had way less screen time than supporting roles’ scream time (literally LOL). The drama was mostly a show of overacting veteran actors with heavy makeup, looking so fake. I guess his name appeared first billing cuz he just had a breakout hit Blossom. His name was used as a bait for viewership and I took the bait LOL. Back to the Heirs 😂!
Looks similar to the one he did with yang zi. Cheng Yi’s character I mean. I will check it out for curiosity. I cannot watch yang yang until I know the drama is worth it and I only liked him with dilraba and zhao lusi.
what’s the obsession with the white hair? he had white hair in Immortal Samsara, there were photos of him with white hair in Fox Spirit Matchmaker, and now this
It happens normally when they drink poison or on the brink of death and survive or not long yet to live…lol…in Wuxia or xianxia stories. It would probably be a trope like the truck of doom in dramas. Dramatic effect. His whole career thrives on these genres and tropes. 😂 🤷🏻♀️
I read he also played the 2 love interests and the hermit. Basically entire series is just him.
Sounds like a big flex for him Lol
I love Cheng Yi, so will be lining up for this one 🙂
I don’t think these big male lead dramas are for me anymore. I used to love Jin Yong’s work because he had a nice balance of big male lead, great backstory, interesting characters and/or romance. There’s so many douyin and novels out there on big male lead and I found them boring after some time even the one Yang Yang filmed for. No clue what Cheng yi’s drama is about.
CY is one of the Cactors I feel like costumes or wigs change doesnt even matter he alwayas looks same and acts same.Maybe its because of the characters he play?
