This is an oldie but goodie that’s been in the vault so long I thought it was permanently shelved. The Love of Hypnosis – Chinese title formerly 南烟斋笔录 Nan Yen Qi Bi Lu and now called 一曲三笙 Yi Qu San Sheng – was filmed in 2018 and supposed to air in 2019. It starred Crystal Liu and Jing Bo Ran back when in a powerhouse pairing with her long awaited return to C-dramas and him coming off the hit movie Monster Hunt. Unfortunately before the drama aired the second male lead Zhao Li Xin, a veteran actor, got cancelled after he made a statement that Japan occupied China for 8 years but didn’t loot the Forbidden Palace and questioned why a conqueror would so that (i.e. he was implying Japan did not mistreat China during their occupation). The fallout was fast and furious and he was cancelled immediately and he issued a full apology and left the industry so his cancelled was permanent. C-ent is saying that last year the drama re-filmed Zhao Li Xin’s scenes and will AI faceswap into the drama with the new actor, but unfortunately the special effects so far aren’t great. The drama also got cut down 13-episodes and is now back in front of the authorities for airing permit.
