Ju Jing Yi and Zhang Yun Long Confirmed for Xianxia C-drama Lai Zhan
A new xianxia C-drama is confirmed this week and filming will commence shortly. It’s a Tencent and iQiyi joint production titled Lai Zhan (translated as Coming Battle) and will star Ju Jing Yi and Zhang Yun Long. She’s top billed here and that makes sense when her very large fanbase and she’s a liuliang star while he’s getting shoehorned as a serviceable male lead but hasn’t garnered any breakout or leveling up from his projects. But I think their contrasting visuals and vibes might work well together and at the very least if the drama is just meh it’ll be easy to skip.
Good for her to get roles after her row with her ex agency who faked her contract. JJY has been criticised a lot but I find her having good chemistry with her co stars. I also like her taking on characters that are sensible and intelligent …
Nevertheless, after leaving her agency, perhaps she can take on more challenging roles
