Song Zu Er and Ding Yu Xi Pair Up for Period C-drama The Palace Stewardess with Filming to Begin this Month March 2026
We’re into March now of this year and another C-drama is slated to start filming and with a different male lead than originally rumored. The Palace Stewardess (Si Gong Ling 司宫令) is currently scheduled to kick off on March 16th with female lead Song Zu Er as discussed but the male lead is now Ding Yu Xi. Neither are confirmed but this is basically set, all the pre-work is mostly done and filming starts in a little over a week. The original male lead in discussion was Xu Kai who I personally like better than Ding Yu Xi but is not as strong of an actor. And in an interesting twist, Song Zu Er and Ding Yu Xi will be jointly top billed for this project so it’s a sign of him getting a position boost.
I appreciate Song Zu Er more in modern dramas. Her whispering voice, for some reason, is more prominent in her period works. LOL.
It’s been almost six years since I’ve seen Ding Yuxi on screen. LOL. The last time was in The Romance of Tiger and Rose.
Yah it seems for now she is stuck in historical dramas mode for now. I liked her modern ones more to be honest. Would be nice to see her in modern.
Again? I wish she would do a modern drama. Not to mention she is way out of DYX league. Meh
Way out? You overvalue penises XD. He is neither good at acting nor does he possess impressive visuals. And I’m not even her fan but… Hahaha!
I really like her, but I have only seen him in dramas I dropped fast. To be honest, there is something about his face I just don’t like.
I don’t like to dissect the appearance of others but I can’t help but noticing that DYX’s chin looks way shorter maybe it’s the editing in these photos
