This is totally a win-win for all involved but does take away a bit from the drama leads on premiere day. Top drama C-actress Zhao Li Ying has a guest starring role in the just premiered iQiyi xianxia C-drama The Unclouded Soul and immediately she’s rocketed up the search and buzz charts above leads Tan Song Yun and Hou Ming Hao. Her guest starring role came about due to a promise she made ten years ago to the director of The Unclouded Soul when they worked together on her drama Rookie Agent Rouge. The Unclouded Soul is the director’s first period drama so Zhao Li Ying made good on her promise to do a meaningful guest starring role for him. She was rumored to be guest starring when the drama was filming but the production never confirmed anything until the drama release when character posters were released of the main cast including ones of her Goddess character. Hopefully the drama is good and can capitalize on the additional buzz she brings in.
