Rumours rumours rumours....

i think i saw that title and "drama poster" mentioned on some dubious websites months ago... (it was already a fake rumour back then.... )

none of this site is official source (for any movie/production/actor)

yeah... let's copy all the crap from baike and douban straighaway....

douban and baike can be used as additional sources when movies/shows got already released/ are in post-production (the shooting started & ended) / or we've watched them and everyone already knows who's there but we just use it as kind of "reference" source

official sources for Chinese NEW/FUTURE productions are:

1) official show/drama weibo

ususally each Chinese new drama/movie/show for which production starts has it own weibo page opened

2) official actor's/actors' weibo(s)

usually actors who start filming confirm the info on their pages

or the info is confirmed by their agencies (can be found too)

3) a booting ceremony for a drama/movie covered by medias

this is very helpful to confirm sth is real or not, because this is the tradition/custom for the Chinese to have those opening ceremonies for most of shows

 - then Chinese articles released by the press (usually with photos from the ceremony) can be used as a legit source

for example: https://mydramalist.com/26895-ren-bu-biao-han-wang-shao-nian

was added this way last December, I  could see that somebody on MDL used a random picture from an article as a cover, not all info verified at that time but I didn't object because  the info about drama was true

4) the official medias pages like YOUKU, Tencent, television channels

on their official pages the media usually announce dramas which are about to air in coming months

5) official Youtube channels of Chinese television

 good for shows which are new, still in production but already airing, with no much info in advance

 Haeju:

Well, does it matter?

If they change their plans and do not release the show, MDL can always delete the entry or change it to cancelled. It's not like every show added to database has 100 sources, including at least one from director and screenwriter.

on the website I saw, there were Hou Ming Hao's and Li Yi Feng's names under the title, both used the same way as there were added today to GPFD mdl page, so my assumption is, this is where the false info came from... 

unfortunately I cannot follow LYF day by day so I cannot tell whether he's cast or not

 but I know for sure HMH is not, I'm glad his name got removed now, and hope it won't be back
