Filming has kicked off for the C-drama adaptation of period fantasy romance novel Hidden God, the sequel in the same story that was Ancient Love Poetry. It will be Zhao Lu Si‘s first role in a xianxia drama (about time!) and she’s got top billing here so if the drama succeeds or fails will definitely impact what the industry thinks of her. I think it’s a good gamble for her and seeing her in costume she definitely looks the part, so cute and adorable in a natural way. I am deathly allergic to C-drama female leads trying to be cute (I won’t name names but goodness there a certain actress who gives me hives) and always sigh in relief when the right actress is cast in roles that are written as cute. Ancient Love Poetry waffled in the first half due to Zhou Dong Yu not being suitable for the innocent role but in this sequel at least Zhao Lu Si looks the part from the get go.
