Period C-drama Qian Xiang Thousand Fragrances with Song Wei Long and Ju Jing Yi Releases First Posters as it Wraps Filming

So this is the drama that Ju Jing Yi was still filming when In Blossom premiered and guest starring Zheng Hehuizi stole her thunder, and in a stroke of irony the two were filming this drama together where Ju Jing Yi is the female lead and Zheng Hehuizi the supporting female lead. It’s called Qian Xiang (Thousand Fragrances) adapted from the novel Qian Xiang Yin (Thousand Fragrances Lure) and stars Song Wei Long as the male lead and Ju Jing Yi as the female lead. In yet another hilarious gesture, the production company released these first official posters to mark the drama finishing filming and put Song Wei Long’s name before Ju Jing Yi but added the caveat that name placement was solely based on how many strokes was in the two leads respective last names and Song had fewer strokes that Ju so his name came first. Hahaha, this billing stuff has production teams on the offensive right off the bat to make sure they are extra clear on why someone is before someone else. Anyways, I don’t know what Zheng Hehuizi did here to offend the poster maker because her nose got photoshopped way bigger in her full body pose and I’m all here with the popcorn.
