The xianxia C-drama formerly called Fairy Meat (神仙肉) has a new normal title Longing for My Beloved (念相思) and a new male lead. Yu Shu Xin remains the female lead and now Hou Ming Hao will be joining her rather than originally rumored male lead He Yu in a reunion pairing. The second leads will be Chen Yi Han and Chen He Yi, solid enough and both can either play good or bad characters based on what the story is. The most hilarious rumor around this drama is that other than for the four main leads above, the rest of the cast is all AI generated actors and actresses in the roles. Mwahahaha OMG I’m dying here if this is true in any way, even if some characters are AI generated it’s enough for this is be a lolz-fest. The goal is to shrink the budget by 30% to 50% and also increase the speed of filming. It also removes the risk of any stars in the drama getting into trouble after the drama airs and the drama is either cancelled or production needs to hire new stars for re-filming and AI face swapping. The drama was slated to start filming now at the end of May but has been pushed back to start filming at the end of June to give production time to check out the AI character visuals onscreen.
