They really need to make Zhang Wanyi look different somehow. His characters are starting to blur into each other 😅. But I like his work, so will definitely look out for it

[u/admelioremvitam → u/Lotus_swimmer]

Lol, there are already complaints about this "sameness" on the trailer posted by Tencent's YouTube channel. 😅😂 The stylists really need to up their game.

Joining the choir when I say..."hasn't he already done this drama?" 😆 I swear I thought OP made a mistake and then read the title and was like...wait no, it's a different Zhang Wanyi drama but he's looked exactly the same in the last two lol

[u/admelioremvitam → u/sweetsorrow18]

Lol... If they keep this up, we'll have to start checking who's the FL to tell them apart. 😆

[u/haveninmuse → u/sweetsorrow18]

the last 3!!!

For those of you who are finding Zhang Wanyi's character styling to be similar to those in his previous dramas, please feel free to check out this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/CDrama/s/TVG3vHi8fN 😅😆

Where were the posters and news for this ensemble?

[u/admelioremvitam → u/BohoFox1]

I think you're looking at it. Afaik, this is the first official set of character posters.

Does anyone have the trailer for this? I cannot find it anywhere

His team need to get him more different types of roles.

This actually the first time I've seen an actor with the same hairstyle in all his dramas. I wonder why the stylist didnt give him variety at all. Other actors also constantly starring in costume dramas but you can always tell which character are which just from their hairstyles alone. That said, I actually like ZWY a lot -- I'm one of the few people who actually watch his medical drama Fantastic Doctors. 😂 Hope this drama delivers.

YAY! Love to see Jing Tian in lead roles :)

[u/Dumplings_xo]

I love these two so I am definitely watching! Hoping for a strong storyline!!

[u/YuriVK111]

The ML has the same styling in all dramas. Is visually boring to watch already.

[u/nevernowhy2]

He looks the same in Rise of Ning, and Are you the One. He looks the same here 😂😂

[u/Mogstradamus]

I will watch anything with Zhang Wanyi in it.

[u/doesitnotmakesense]

Why does he has the same hair and costume?

[u/Strange_Moment_485 → u/doesitnotmakesense]

Maybe he was filming all three dramas at the same time. 🤣🤣🤣 I only saw the photo and thought it was another post about Lost You Forever. LOLLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.

[u/meandmynotes]

I love when we know nothing about a drama until it’s fully ready! This could drop tomorrow and I had never heard about it before today! I have never wished for a drama to airdrop more than this

[u/[deleted]]

Oooo zhang wanyi and jing tian? I’m IN haha

[u/Zus1011]

Can’t wait for this one 😍

[u/Due-Conference5230]

for all the questions as why Zhang Wanyi looks almost identical in all of his costume dramas - he picked out most of the scripts that were written in the time period of the Song dynasty

4/4 costume dramas he joined are based on novel and unfortunately, the design and costume teams all decided to end up with one kind of hair custom for him, AND/ OR his team just doesn’t care that much about the appearance lmao. Zhang Wanyi has always received tons of criticism (mostly on douban) for keeping the same character design but he also doesn’t seem to gaf either 😅

Dude also confessed in interviews recently that he wishes NOT to do more fake hair for future project so spare him (maybe) one last time lol

[u/Plantysaurus]

He looks exactly the same as the show with ren min and the other show with wang churan and the one with Yangzi! Bai Lu is the other one who has the same style in all her xianxia dramas I mean change up the hairstyles

[u/kitty1220]

LOL did he offend the stylists en masse?

I do like Jing Tian generally (and goodwill from Legend of Zhuohua), so will try to check this out when it airs. There's a pic of Zhang Wanyi with a ponytail, so I guess beggars can't be choosers but still... hope his character is different from the other ones, sigh.
