Every time I think I’ve seen shit go down in C-drama land, whether in the casting phase to filming problems to post-production scandals, a new iteration pops up. The drama of the week goes to xianxia romance Love in the Shell (念相思 Nian Xiang Si or Longing for My Beloved) which has only been filming for a month but has enough tea for a whole year. Before filming began the equally vocal respective fandoms of leads Yu Shu Xin and Hou Ming Hao were already at each other’s throats, hers wanting top billing noted and followed and his side complaining that he’s a bigger star and deserves top or at least equal stature and that she’s a problematic actress in skills and scandals. The two did not attend the filming commencement ceremony together but went separately to their respective fan events, and so far the filming has been mostly separate scenes with very few scenes filmed together so far. This week things came a head with the rumor spreading that filming will be halted next week and the male lead recast. Lol, seriously? Reportedly the two fandoms continued to war and went as far as reporting the other and getting each in trouble (him for sticking his head out a car to talk to fans and hers for her van maybe parking in a handicap stop or using a disabled lane). C-ent insiders are saying filming will not be shutting down as she will continue to film her scenes, but it’s not clear yet if he is being replaced or just put in a time out for now haha.
