Li Yi Feng’s schedule for the next few days is being reported on various internet sites – one of which includes a filming ceremony for a new drama, which has him playing a rookie cop turned secret agent. There’s definitely some typecasting going on considering that Li Yi Feng already tackled a similar role three years ago when he filmed Sparrow. The drama went on to become a hit, so they may be on to something here.
Filming is expected to begin on March 28, 2018 in Shanghai. Wang Wei who directed the critically-acclaimed crime thriller Day & Night is slated to direct. Day & Night star Pan Yue Ming is also rumored to make a special appearance.
The drama’s Chinese title is temporarily 隐秘而伟大, which in English, is just a few jumbled words different from the Korean movie Secretly, Greatly starring Kim Soo Hyun. I don’t see any correlation between the two other than both having espionage as a theme, so I’m hoping for less copying and a more original title.

Sparrow was one of the greatest drama I ever watched so knowing that li yi feng is going to act in another republican spy drama really makes me look forward to it. Also having super high expectations and hopes that it is not disappointing as most Republican dramas nowadays as they can be rather boring and exaggerating.

Although I don't think that LYF is the best actor, but I do think that he has been carefully choosing his dramas, starting from Sparrow. This one seems to have a good director, and a good director can help to bring out an actor's potential. Good luck!

actually LYF can act..but sometime the script on that story make his acting style limited…but what to do…he also have no choice…i'm believe as an actor…LYF also wanted the role that will challenge his credibility as an actor…so we as a fan must be patient..like as you said..a good director can help to bring out actor's potential..so I believe in what you said…I also agree with you…that LYF has been carefully choosing his drama after sparrow…because I know he also wanted something the best for his career because his age is not at early 20's anymore…

I think he can act, although not the best. He was improving in Sparrow and I like his crying scene in Guilty of Mind. We'll see how it'll be in the new drama
