In the roulette of C-drama casting there seems like infinite lead pairings and yet it’s always the same dozen or so names making for a more finite set of combos. Meng Zi Yi has already lined up her next drama once she finishes filming The Rebirth of the Malicious Empress of Military Lineage with Dylan Wang. She’s been confirmed for Hunan TV period drama Have it All (Chinese title 一手摘星一手捶地 which means one hand plucking star and one hand pounding the ground) and her male lead is who I call Bizarro Dylan Ao Rui Peng. Because Dylan is so distinctive looking that every time I see Ao Rui Peng I just think similar but every feature is just a wee bite off. Anyhoo, Have it All is about a girl mistaken for a princess and gets caught up in political intrigue and turns out she is the long lost princess, but of course haha. Looks like Meng Zi Yi is firmly parked in period drama land and I hope this hard push to make her firmly a top A-lister works out for the production teams that keep casting her.
