#TheRoadToSplendor (2026), directed by #DengKe, used very little green screen & mostly in studio for certain shots. Instead the production team filmed in locations, including the desert. This is why paparazzi/fan photos of the bts weren’t released, nobody but the production & cast could get there.

This better be the right answer. A #HouMingHao and #LuYuxiao online interaction sent intentional and domestic fans into a frenzy a month ago, so it could be them.

The streets are saying the production team for an upcoming #cdrama are reaching out to the male and female leads for a second collaboration. If it actually happens, insiders say c-entertainment will explode and marketing accounts on Weibo will make a fortune from all the posts about it.

Pictures from cdrama The road to Splendor: all in red behind a red veil. Fl and ML are talking about their feelings and relationship. They are looking into each others eyes with a lot of emotions of love. ML is leaning over her for a kiss holding her chin. She is closing her eyes in expectation.

It’s becoming increasingly clear how her former agency/boss was hell on earth for #ZhaoLusi. They tried to contain her as the cutesy actress China and the world fell in love with when she was younger. Unsurprisingly, she grew up and wanted more for herself. She was too big for their pond.

cdramanews@cdramanews.bsky.social · 7d ago

#ZhaoLusi took back control of her life and career, now she’s becoming a #cdrama producer! Her studio announced 9 upcoming IP projects, comprising original screenplays to novel adaptations across various genres. This allows Zhao to choose whatever she wants to stand in front or behind the camera.

I accept that understanding the historical & political context of the countries whose dramas we watch has real value My point here, however, is narrower: cultural context doesn’t require treating descendants as personally guilty for an ancestor’s actions; that’s all 👍

James@jamesdramac.bsky.social · last wk.

I don’t understand why a #kdrama actor living in 2026 should be hounded for not knowing the details of an ancestor’s politics during the Japanese occupation a century ago Whatever judgement we make of her great-grandfather, he died in 1927. Ha Young, born in 1993, isn’t responsible for his actions

#HaYoung has shared a personally written letter of apology as the controversy surrounding her family’s ties to a pro-Japanese organisation increases. Translation on alt text.

Letter Part 1 This is Ha Young. First and foremost, I bow my head in apology for the disappointment and pain I have caused due to issues related to my great-grandfather. Recently, as I learned of the past actions of my great-grandfather Ahn Sang Ho, I have been reflecting on my family’s history with a heavy heart. Until now, I had only known about my great-grandfather’s life in fragments, based on stories passed down through my family. Shamefully, I spoke of him in various settings as if he were a source of family pride, while remaining in such a state of ignorance. Through this incident, I went through the process of looking up relevant materials myself and learned of my great-grandfather’s pro-Japanese activities. I deeply regret that I spoke of my family history so lightly without properly understanding the painful history of our country during the Japanese colonial period. Furthermore, when the controversy first arose, I myself did not know the exact facts, which led to the agency releasing a statement claiming the reports were “groundless.” I believe it was my own shortcoming that allowed such an incorrect statement to be delivered without sufficient verification. I sincerely apologize for the greater confusion and wound this has caused. Part 2 in next image.a

A lovely micro-scene in ep 11 of #TheRoadToSplendor: having arrived at their rudimentary new home near the army barracks, Zhao Ling shields Tingyun from a gust of sandy wind… In the brief intimacy of the moment, he promises her he’ll work hard to improve their circumstances 🥹 #cdrama
