I think no matter the setting, every picture that he is in feels like he is front and centre 😍 He is such an eye-magnet!
Regarding the new drama, I saw that on XHS, but when I tried to look it up here I ended up on this page. Is there no MDL page for the new drama yet?

Haha, the plot synopsis sounds like some trashy smut web novel 🤣 Let’s hope it’s all due to a bad translation.
I trust Zheng Yecheng to pick a good script, so it probably will be alright in the end.
In any case the BTS clips that I have seen look amazing!

I keep seeing a lot of posts with that date from what I consider “reliable” melon vendors, so maybe this time it is true….
Let’s hope for the best 🙏

Agreed!

It’s simply a call for tolerance. I am sick and tired of all the overly sensitive people and the fanatics that will start fan wars over one comment.
In that sense it applies to all dramas and no drama in particular.
Let’s watch out favourites in peace!

At the Youku conference today (08/09/2025) the trailer and several clips introducing the individual characters were released for The Treasured Bajia Book.
Jeremy officially only has a “friendly appearance” (= guest role) but, as one of the nine masters, he still gets his own little clip. Prepare to be amazed 😍

I saw some melons saying that his team is reassessing the risk. To be honest, I can understand him being cautious. Nobody wants to pour their blood and sweat into a project only for it to never see the light of day because of another cast member. There are already too many of such dramas locked somewhere in the basement.

I’ve seen the melons regarding this drama coming up with new ML names every other week, so I don’t believe anything until there is an announcement.
I can understand DYX’s fans. There must be a reason why so many potential MLs have turned this down. Of course a good screenwriter could make something of this, but they are more rare than gold dust. Most of them just string together a series of the usual tropes, especially for xianxia.

Oh dear, this plot feels like we’ve seen this a thousand times already!
Can the screenwriters please stop copying each other’s homework and come up with a few original ideas?
I really feel sorry for the actors’ wasted efforts in flogging this dead horse.

That is correct. I didn’t say that they were ALL rookie actresses, but his FLs in Novoland, Be My Princess, Journey of Chongzi and Yongan Dream were and it clearly shows.
He wasn’t the ML in Love of Nirvana, so I don’t even consider Li Landi “his” FL. His role was so badly distorted (compared to the novel) with his best lines and even scenes that were filmed cut out, that I would not recommend watching this drama to anyone.

Life is hard for nice guys in the entertainment industry. I hope for him that all these favours will be repaid one day.

It is refreshing! Let the people who need romance in everything continue to watch romance dramas

Yes, he is officially back since September last year, but he only started working again at the beginning of this year. Since then he has been busy… So far he filmed:
- A cameo in Southern Anecdote (uncredited, therefore I cannot update it in the list)
- A special guest role in Blossoms of Power
- A guest role in Shadow Punisher (filming still ongoing)
- A cameo (I presume) in The Treasured Bajia Book (so far 1 day, I don’t know if there will be more)
Even though the role in Blossoms of Power was quite extensive, officially, he is only doing guest appearances at the moment. I suspect there is a (contractual) reason for that.
My guess is that he will return to “normal” roles once his contract situation is sorted out, probably next year.
His next on-screen appearance will most likely be in Whispers of Fate which is expected to be broadcast a5 the end of October 2025.

😂😂😂
What do you think, if we say Shui Long Yin three times in a row, will it get broadcast sooner?

Hush! Say “Beteljuice” three times and he will appear 😂

I don’t thing Ding Yuxi has accepted this yet. The ML role seems to have been turned down by a lot of people, why would he take what so many others don’t want? He’s not that desperate. The buzz is that the role is badly written…

King of the world 😂😂😂

Isn’t everyone entitled to their opinion? Calling somebody a terrible actor (there are so many of those around!) doesn’t make anyone a “hater”. This term is used far too liberally these days as tolerance for different opinions is disappearing from people’s minds.

I have only seen some articles about it on English-language sites. I tend to believe that it is genuine. It was also said that the ban of any actor starring in such dramas will only apply to new productions, not the ones that have already been filmed.
This may be the reaction to the BL frenzy which turns any actor in such dramas into a pop star overnight, no matter whether they’re any good or not.
Personally, I find it quite annoying how the BL-league are trying to turn any instance of two guys meeting up for a coffee into “censored BL-content”. So, as sad as I am for some of the truly good BL-dramas and novels, I have to say that they brought it upon themselves.
