Shawn Dou took to social media with many sweet photos to greet his girlfriend Laurinda Ho, socialite and daughter of late casino king Stanley Ho, for her 31st birthday on May 9. The couple have been quite open about their relationship since making their dating status public in 2019. Shawn is currently back on the small screens opposite Chen Duling in the Republican drama Love in Flames of War. In the show, the main couple (CP) recently held their wedding to finally start living as husband and wife.
It seems that Shawn’s decision to greet his girlfriend did not sit well with some fans who felt it wasn’t appropriate for him to post about his girlfriend when he could be promoting the show. Some said, “You ruined how I feel about this drama.” Others who were invested in the show said they pitied Shawn’s character already but his post made them realize it was all acting and they’re not saying he’s not allowed to post on social media but rather that it takes them out of the show. Nonetheless, most left comments supporting Shawn and said that people should distinguish between real life and fiction.

🥰Shawn Dou. “I can share people’s pains but not their pleasures. There is something curiously annoying about the happiness of others. (Aldous Huxley).” That’s how people are.
Wowo
haha let him be, he’s in love and is happy with his gf. CP fans are delusional no matter what kind. lol
meen
OH Jeez. possessive fans are crazy. There is a difference between fiction and nonfiction. Get your head out of the gutter.

Ummm I’m glad it pulled them out of the show so they can realize it’s NOT REAL. It’s just a drama, and they are indeed acting! Why are people so self centered and irrational? He has a real gf that he has every right to post about, especially on her birthday.

While I do understand, I don’t agree with the way the CP netizens came at him about it. It is his girlfriend’s birthday. I think he deserves every right to post about his girlfriend despite his current drama airing or that he’s a celebrity.

I am literally rolling. 21st century and people believe what they see on TV/screen is or can be real. I am rolling LOL I weep for humanity!

Simple, watch his drama, don’t check his IG/Sofia media feeds? Don’t read news about him, either lol. Anyone knows he’s dating a rich girl, it’s stupid of him to let her go lol (if they are in it for love, good, but if not, well, still their business). Fans need to wake up and stop being so delusional lol

Really who is my important the billionaire gf or some crazy fans? He’d be crazy NOT to say HB!
Yiyi
Why are the Chinese/C-ent fans so obsessed with CP? I noticed that hyping CP is a must to-do thing in C-ent (especially when promoting a drama), and that the CP fans seemed to treat as if they are CP off the screen too. It’s so unhealthy, it’s scary.

Some fans are real wackos. Acting is their job. Greeting his girlfriend is real life. So delusional.

Maybe is because I’m from the US, but posting in your social media about what you care about is completely normal. It is your life and your personal account. We need to separate personal real life from work. I love SD as an actor, I think he is fenomenal on the screen. I also enjoy learning about his personal life and the way he shows how much he loves his gf. Wishing him the best in his career and his life ❤️. SD, stay true to yourself, love to the fullest, and let the world know who owns your heart ❤️.
