I’m glad this melon got confirmed as quickly as it did because the rumors alone were already causing such a fandom ruckus. Now it’s confirmed the fans can boycott, accept, leave, whatever and the drama can just film along merrily. Period C-drama Flourished Peony will indeed star Yang Zi and Li Xian, one of the most popular C-drama OTPs from their modern hit Go Go Squid 4 years ago. One would think this reunion would make their respective fandoms happy since their first go around was such a success but his fandom has been losing their collective shit over this because they think Li Xian is now way more successful than when he did GGS and does not need to be second billing to Yang Zi, plus they don’t like her fandom. Her fandom doesn’t give two shits about him (good or bad either way), but don’t like his fandom so they don’t want her working with him again because it puts her in the warpath of his fandom. Reportedly fans have announced they have left his fandom over this casting. Sigh, don’t let the door hit you on your way out m’kay.
