C-drama The Double is airing with so much buzz right now and all involved are reaping the rewards: acting, writing, and directing. The director is an industry vetern named Haozhe Si (also known as Lü Hao Ji Ji) and is the son of famed writer Hai Yan whose works have been adapted into many C-dramas and movies and made many actors and actresses famous. Haozhe Si started off as a nepo baby actor but his face was disfigured in a post sunburn plastic surgery incident. He was depressed for many years until transitioning into directing and has now gained recognition after directing Go Princess Go, Oh My General, and now The Double. He hasn’t met a wind machine he doesn’t like but he also knows exactly how to balance being extra with being suitably dramatic. His next drama already filmed is Moonlit Reunion with Xu Kai and Tian Xi Wei and now I’m looking forward to that one even more!
