I don’t think this is a high profile big budget C-drama by any means but I do think risk to reward opportunity is higher with smaller projects. Li Hong Yi and Gong Xue Er are in talks for an upcoming period romance C-drama titled Princess Zhaoyang, adapted from a novel, and without reading it I can already give the usual synopsis lol. Nothing wrong with mining the same area with different takes and hopefully strong chemistry to hook viewers. Both leads are second tier level but well known enough in name and visuals that I think pairing up in a drama is a smart move for the production hoping to go in with less expectations and therefore surprise with a potential win.
