Hey guys it’s Anton.
So let’s watch the clip first, and I’ll give you guys my impression of it.
Oh my gosh Cheng Yi, did you seriously just ghost her?
It does look a little cold, so just what the heck is going on?
Let's go back and talk about the events of what led up to this point.
Love and Redemption was this summer's hit fantasy romance series that wow'd everyone
with its great plot and fantastic character chemistry.
It premiered on August 6th and just wrapped up its run a few weeks ago on September 10th,
2020.
After the series ended, its entire cast and production crew reunited one last time to
hold a live streamed concert to give fans a final farewell.
Everyone was there, even the director.
As the night went on, fans started noticing something a little off between the two main
leads Cheng Yi and Crystal Yuan.
At first it didn’t seem like anything, but the more you look at it closely, the more
it does seem there is something going on between the two.
In a lot of the shots it seems like he is intentionally avoiding her and not making
eye contact.
Okay, I get that they are professional actors and were not actually in love like in the
drama, but…
I feel like you can still be civil and get along well in a production team?
Lots of actors have a good time while filming and many even become good friends well after
the series is over.
So is there something else going on here?
Are they fighting?
Well, some fans have pointed out that it may be because Crystal Yuan is under a different
agency than the rest of the crew, who are managed by H&R Century Pictures.
Cheng Yi may have been under specific instructions to avoid her in order to prevent fans from
shipping the two as a couple, and it seems that the two were intentionally separated
physically for much of the event.
The night culminated in that scene you saw at the beginning when Crystal started tearing
up after reflecting on the series and acknowledging her fellow production teammates.
It’s kind of sad to see that Cheng Yi couldn’t even give her a single glance as she started
crying her heart out.
Come on Yi, I know that the agency probably gave you specific instructions to avoid her,
but there are certain things a gentleman should always do when he sees a crying girl.
In any case, fans and netizens weren’t all too happy with him either as he reportedly
lost sixty thousand followers on his Weibo account in a single night.
I don’t think that there is beef between the two, and I really liked the chemistry
they had in Love and Redemption, so I really hope that the pair can get this sorted out.
Love and Redemption season two is now officially confirmed so we will likely be seeing the
two again in the next series.
I say likely because there have been times in C-drama where the director will replace
an actor in the second series, like with the second season of Ever Night.
There are many reasons for it, but in Ever Night’s case, the actor had another drama
obligation that he was working on that needed to be filled.
I think that it would be a mistake if they decided to make season 2 of Love and Redemption
without either one of the main leads because the chemistry between the two onscreen was
a good portion of why Love and Redemption was so good.
With Crystal Yuan being part of a different agency than the rest of the crew, it is somewhat
more likely to happen.
I hope it doesn't though.
What do you guys think of this whole situation?
Do you think Cheng Yi was intentionally trying to ghost her?
And was there something that is happening between the two?
And if they make Love and Redemption season 2 without either Cheng Yi or Crystal Yuan would
you be willing to watch it?
