Wu Jin Yan to Start Filming Period C-drama Yu Ting Yao with Likely Male Lead Chen Zhe Yuan
So C-actress Wu Jin Yan and her unofficial but widely known maternity leave is coming to an end. She got married last year which she announced but then was visibly pregnant during promos for her drama Kill Me Love Me but never went public with it. But she did deliver her baby earlier this year and has been on hiatus which will end next month. She has been cast as the female lead for a S+ budget C-drama titled Yu Ting Yao 御廷谣 adapted from the novel Jiang Shan Wei Ping 江山为聘 (A Kingdom as Dowry). The male lead went through two actors XingYun Lai and Zhou Ke Yu and now appears to be Chen Zhe Yuan. I can see this pairing working onscreen and it remains to be seen if Wu Jin Yan can pick another hit production like she did with The Double that reinvigorated her career last year.
Hope she got the rest she needed. Can’t be easy moving along from pregnancy and giving birth to leaping right into acting so soon.
Her back to work lead is Chen Zheyuan?
CZY is quite good and I like the pairing of both of them. They will be equally matched and neither will outshine the other. Now please let the script, directing and editing be good….
