There is new news about the long shelved big budget and high profile C-drama The Golden Hairpin adapted from a very popular period C-novel. The completed drama was iced after original male lead Wu Yi Fan (Kris Wu) was arrested and now convicted and jailed for sexual assault and other crimes. After lots of fits and starts with re-filming the male lead scenes, it’s finally been completed over the summer with new male lead Peng Guan Ying taking over. He filmed for over a month and it included original female lead Yang Zi taking a week to re-film her close up scenes with him as well. Now the drama is reportedly airing at the very end of October 2024, but if that slips it’s still highly likely to air sometime in Q4 of this year. It will simultaneously air on terrestrial CCTV-8 channel as well as streaming on Tencent.
