Reportedly iQiyi is set on starting filming for period C-drama A Journey to Glow this coming June, after it’s been delayed now close to a year. This was a female lead centric drama at the beginning with Yu Shu Xin in the lead, then the drama found Wang An Yu for the male lead. But she left the production after her scandal last summer 2025 but he stayed on and the production is confirmed with him. So the story is reportedly now more male lead centric and the production is ramping up the search for the female lead now. The big name topping the list is Zhao Jin Mai and the drama really wants her. I’m not sure she’ll take it, and the casting gossip says the production is also talking to Wang Yu Wen and Guan Xiaotong.
