Meng Zi Yi to Pair Up with Ding Yu Xi for Upcoming Modern Romance C-drama Endless Summer
The number of dramas that Meng Zi Yi has been in talks for or cast in since she leveled up with Blossom is just insane, and for me it’s annoying since I don’t like her as an actress but now have to see her everywhere. She’s currently filming the drama adaptation of The Rebirth of the Malicious Empress of Military Lineage and after that she’s reuniting with Li Yun Rui for a period drama. Now C-casting says she has pencil signed on for a modern romance C-drama titled Endless Summer (无尽夏 Wu Jin Xia) and her male lead will be Ding Yu Xi. Talk about another mismatch, I thought her and Dylan in Malicious Empress was already bad. If she wants to be top billed then it’s going to be hard to find same level male leads so her dramas will feel like throwing darts at a male lead turning dart board.
She can’t act but DYX’s popularity hasn’t panned out as much as they hoped either so it’s not so strange. He is not strong enough to carry her but at least it’s pretty people on screen. Good enough for an idol drama.
I don’t get their appeal. There are so many actors and actresses but they keep giving multiple roles to the same small handful of folks. With fewer long form dramas in production, you would think they would try to spread the wealth and cultivate more actors instead of heavily investing in the same group over and over again.
