Snippets
- 16 July 2020: It is a wrap after 230 days of filming. Yey.
- Apparently, this is the biggest offering from Tencent this year. And both leads are ready to promote.
- The tentative release is August 2021.
- 7 July 2021: Apparently Kris Wu accepted the drama because his mother loved the script. He wanted to make a drama that they could watch together. What a lovely doting son.
- 31 July 2021: SAD, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE THIS DRAMA IS CONSIGNED TO OBLIVION AND MIGHT NOT SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY BECAUSE OF THE LEAD MAN’S SCANDAL.
- 4 December 2021: This drama had been given the kiss of life by replacing Kris Wu with a better actor, Lin Gengxin. Yey
- Apparently there was a last minute hitch. Gorgeous Lin Gengxin bowed out and Peng Guan Ying is now the replacemernt, who is also as tall Kris Wu so back view scenes of Kris Wu do not have to be reshoot.
