It is both the new lover and the old lover according to the script. https://www.reddit.com/r/CDrama/comments/1v54u8d/kai_dao_tu_mi_%E5%BC%80%E5%88%B0%E8%8D%BC%E8%98%BC_from_tencent_officially/

It is a new billing system. PGY is one of the leads alongside Lulu and CH. Because PGY’s name has a high stroke count, his name has to be listed under “Special Appearance.” You cannot have more than 3 lead names anymore. It is not determined by screen time. Under this system, even main actors may sometimes be credited as special appearances. For example, Johnny Huang’s name may appear more frequently under “Special Appearance” simply because of the number of strokes in his name. https://www.reddit.com/r/CDrama/comments/1v54u8d/kai_dao_tu_mi_%E5%BC%80%E5%88%B0%E8%8D%BC%E8%98%BC_from_tencent_officially/

his name in chinese and its stroke count is very long, in future his credit will be mostly special appearance in all dramas.. this is because of the new billing system

it is a new system.. his namestroke is high so his name has to be placed in special appearance.. it is not according to screentime. In this system, main actors names could be in special appearances...like Johnny Huang's names might pop up more and more in special appearances due to name stroke length

fl boyfriend parts in novel is much shorter compared to the ex lover and FL part. The novel is more about the fl and ex lover

i am happy she is free now... free to choose scripts she likes...

i agree... but as a lurong, if negativity starts even before the drama shoots, based on the lead actor's name..with no basis (his image is clean)... it is going to affect the whole drama... because media will pick up comments from her fans, websites...they are vultures.. how will it benefit the drama? so i did not like the fact that fans are commenting on the actor without any basis. i dont care if they like him or not... but such comments are not helping lulu or the drama.

Peng Guan Ying . i had watched his drama the confidential with elvira cai...boy, his acting was award-worthy... but it's a diturbing thriller

thats the reason i believe she chose the role.. i have a feeling she would be up for best actress awards next year...

damn right!

They might reduce his age to around 29 or 30--- it could be other way around too. she will act like 25. he will act around 45.

i can see you did not understand what i was trying to say or did not try to understand. So, i don't bother discussing it further with you. I agree with some of your points only because my wordings perhaps implied what i did not mean to say. ''Bailu does not need someone to tone down their acting for her to shine''---- this is the stupidiest interpretation of my comment i have ever read from any fans in any forum. i have not meant or wrote that at all. Nothing else to say. Lastly, i am not a lulu fan who gives 10 or 9.5 to every lulu's drama. So, perhaps i am more perceptive to criticisms against her and think about what can be improved so that she goes higher. i care the least taking any other actress's name here, i am not afraid of any discussion because i believe Bai Lu is no less of an actress than anyone mentioned. I am proud of her. Not that i dont like Yang Zi, she is a good actress. But i always support the actress who i feel has the potential but hasn't achieved what she could achieve due to various reasons... Bottomline, my comments are geared to notify the facts that there could be lurongs who like PGY or any other actor.. and if they see that their actors are not being respected, they have the right to comment! Just because we are lurongs doesn't mean i will say yes and agree if you are disrespectful and comment bu**sh** about actors i like.

that actor does not even act well

nonsense... she is changing her gear to next level... her desire to raise her level is clear with the new drama with PGY... Lulu needs to up her game in acting to act alongside PGY

yes HE is. also one of my fav actors... he only works in dramas where script is demanding and intense.. he is a good actor, has worked with renowned actresses... but he is one of the very few actors who allows his actresses to shine more than himself..

I got really annoyed with demeaning comments on PGY (veteran, known for his acting, worked with Yang Zi, Crystal Liu, Zhu dong yu, ZLS, just to name a few) and comparing him with Cheng H S (young guy trying to stabilise in cdrama industry). Sometimes, have humility please... A real lurong will not create negative vibe and commotion towards her co-actors and colleagues no matter who he is. Some fans of Bai Lu need to understand that she cannot keep coming with actors younger her age or similar age...she learns nothing...but younger actors easily milk her popularity and get into limelight everytime... now she is 31. After this age, it is all about character dramas and acting awards. Yang Zi recently won magnolia working with Hu Ge... as one of lulu's fans, i want her to achieve the same. That's not going to happen by working with teenage looking boys... she needs to act with MEN. PGY is a really good actor and intense in his acting. You need to look at his filmography to see the actresses he has worked with. https://mydramalist.com/people/6467-peng-guan-ying They are all renowned actresses. Lulu will up her game and learn a lot with this drama. In this drama, PGY will eat up CHS in acting (my view). PGY does not come with traffic dramas... the script of this drama must be really great! We are lucky that it is PGY (not selfish like other actors) - because he allows his actresses to shine, never cares about leading/lead etc and will allow Bai Lu to shine without issues. My guess is she will be noted for her acting after this! i wish so.

not going to happen. PGY's acting is one of the best...he is the leading actor... cheng hua sen is nobody compared to PGY.. he only acts in series where screenplay is powerful.. he is a great actor..
