First Stills and Posters for Modern Romance C-drama Genius Girlfriend with Tian Xi Wei and Hu Yi Tian
The perpetual train engine that is C-drama productions keep trudging along and recently I spotted first stills and pictures for one that I’m mildly curious to check out. The C-drama is titled Genius Girlfriend and is a modern romance starring Tian Xi Wei and Hu Yi Tian. It’s an odd pairing but could be in a good way, she’s so expressive and sparkly and he’s so wooden and stiff haha, this could be a fun opposites create unexpected chemistry onscreen result. Tian Xi Wei has a few C-dramas on deck this year that if it does well could give her another level up boost while Hu Yi Tian will be using this drama as a return to the small screen after nearly three years of not filming a new C-drama.
I know he’s too old for the genre and he’s not a good actor, but seeing Hu Yitian in school uniforms makes me feel so nostalgic. A Love So Beautiful ignited my love for cdramas. I also genuinely really love Tian Xiwei so I can’t help but be excited for this.
Good for HYT to get his feet back to his turf, maybe. His inability to tell the story through his supposedly-stoic but ended-up-blank-and-wooden acting in Handsome Siblings gave a stark contrast to his leading costar’s lively and strong presence. I only watched two of his costume dramas so far. But that’s enough to see he’s not the one for costume drama, acting-wise or visually. At least, he wooed a lot of fangirls in A Love So Beautiful. Maybe he can regain popularity gradually lost all this time.
I’ll check it out to see if the OTP have chemistry but most likely will drop the drama later on for 98% of C modern dramas. lol
