Dilraba Dilmurat and Shawn Dou had a spectacular year in 2017 due to their respective dramas and had quite a surge in popularity as a result. I can already imagine the buzz should these two sign on for a project since I’m already onboard that ship before it even sails. The two are said to be up for the roles of Chang E and Hou Yi, both of whom are known in Chinese mythology as the goddess of the moon and the god of archery. They take the lead in a story about two lovers who are forcibly separated by a god (so the main characters are presumably not gods yet?). I keep reading that the news is practically confirmed though I plan to save my excitement until the official announcement.

Dilreba is overhyped. She needs to work on her facial expressions in serious roles. Some of the other girls under Yang Mi’s studio may be just as good, but don’t get the recognition.

I completely agree- Dilraba is over-hyped. I'm not a fan of her acting. Its too amateur and not quite "seasoned" yet.

Unlike the other girls, the studio is really pushing Dilireba. That is why she is more popular. If you look at her body of work, it is actually lacking. Two out of three of her best known dramas are with YangMi and the other one is with Tang Yan. I think her studio keeps pushing her because they want her to have a hit under her own name so they keep trying. As far as acting for me she is okay if she plays a supporting role but she really struggles when she is the lead. Maybe she will get better in her upcoming dramas.

I love dilraba so much. She's my girl crush. I would watch her in anything. Seeing her together with Shawn Dou is definitely a plus! They make a very visual couple!
