So Allen Ren is super busy with one drama filming after another but sadly for me the one I was looking forward to the most is in the same predicament as Liu Yu Ning and his upcoming dramas. While Liu Yu Ning’s Prisoner of Beauty is stuck as the prisoner of purgatory due to female lead Song Zu Er, same goes for Allen’s The Demon Hunter’s Romance where she is the female lead. Guh, so frustrating. But Allen just wrapped a drama with Li Lan Li called Love of Nirvana and is headed to his next drama filming a period series called Phoenix Stage where his female lead after some industry casting roulette is now confirmed as Peng Xiao Ran. The drama confirmed their casting this week and released the first teaser character posters of the leads. Allen can carry a drama but frequently the story and directing sucks like in Thousand Years for You and he has no chemistry that particular female lead, so as always I will tread lightly with this one as Peng Xiao Ran is coming off a string of flops and is thisclose to being a one hit wonder of Goodbye My Princess.
