Liu Yu Ning Offered Male Lead in Tencent C-drama Why Not Cross By Boat Opposite Zhang Miao Yi
So I’ve written about this novel being adapted into a drama before. Late last year it was rumored to be wanting Dylan Wang and Zhao Lu Si, but her health and hiatus situation has stymied taking on a new project and Dylan ended up picking Live Long and Prosper. The drama has the literal title Why Not Cross By Boat (何不同舟渡 He Bu Tong Zhou Du) and has signed Zhang Miao Yi as the female lead from a few weeks ago. But likely thanks to the hit The Prisoner of Beauty, Tencent is reportedly offering the male lead to Liu Yu Ning and if he accepted he will be top billed. Zhang Miao Yi has a vibe similar to Lu Si and also TPoB female lead Song Zu Er, so if something works for Liu Yu Ning he might as well stick with the same formula lol.
she is cute like a 12 year old, so will be different than TPoB.
I’m all for him being offered quality scripts!
please say no. ZLS and SZE may be petite and cute but the way they carry their characters feel mature. But ZMY childish/immature vibe is too strong. Unless thats what required from her character then thats fine. But I dont wanna see LYN partner with her because their vibe is too different
It’s a chance for LYN to get that 1st billing though.
and a chance for me to skip his drama since he’s finally not working with a popular actress I like.
@ling, lol. So true! You’ve spoken of my voice. I checked out his prior dramas ALL thanks to his FLs who can act. Since this new actress is a nugu to me, I’m indifferent to this new drama. LYN lacks appeal to me as a ML. It’s no brainer for me to not waste time on his dramas given all other things not interesting at all.
They are professional actors. They can do whatever the characters them to be.
I know it’s not going to happen. Anyone who follows his livestreams would know this. He still mentioned this in his last livestream. He has said it multiple times that he’s not going back to dramas until after his album release and concert. And good thing he’s his own boss because he is sticking to his word. And when he is ready, I hope he does take a modern, real-life centered drama or a noir like he wishes to.
Please he should not take this, its nothing different from all his previous roles, his next project should be something that deviates from the tough guy/general that falls for the girl. Doing a similar project would just result in further type casting.
Anyway I’m pretty happy about his recent success.
I agree.
May he take it!
I hope he says yes, though more work, but I will see him more on the screen
LYN is a very talented person. Love all his dramas.
Liu Yu Ning is a good actor. His acting is superb in The Prisoner of Beauty as well as her FL. I hope he gets nomination and award for this drama.

Liu Yuning is incredibly talented. I cannot wait to see him in more high quality dramas with good scripts. The Prisoner of Beauty will remain my favourite period cdrama of all time !
Hope he wont accept this! He should be like li xian who dont mind who gets the top billing as long as the project is good! At least thats what he said few years ago 😂 anyways, ning ge, this is the good time to be picky with projects!!!
Lui Yuning is indeed talented as a singer and actor. In “The Prisoner of Beauty”, his character displays his strengths, weaknesses as well as vulnerabilities. These are great traits to have as an actor and I agree he should receive more substantial offers to showcase his talents.
