Happy Lantern Festival! Xiao Yao 逍遥 just held a booting ceremony today, February 24, along with festive posters of its leads Seven Tan Songyun and Neo Hou Minghao to celebrate the occasion. It’s yet another fantasy series in a world about human and demons where both tribes are compelled by their desires in a relentless pursuit of the elusive Yuli.
This marks the first collaboration between the two stars. While she’s done historicals before, it’s the 33-year-old actress’s first xuanhuan series albeit a familiar role as she’ll embody the mischievous yet resourceful titular heroine Xiaoyao. The Back from the Brink actor plays a powerful being once more all clad in black. This time, he’s Hongye, the king of demons who is feared by the human race.
XIao Yao boasts the expertise of The Knockout production team as it is another one from iQIYI and Liu Bai Entertainment and director Xu Jizhou a the helm. While it’s in a different genre altogether, it’s definitely promising considering how big a hit the crime series turned out to be.

Tbvh, i’m so excited for Seven Tan’s first fantasy drama. I’ve watched her in costume drama before, Under the Power and The Sword and the Brocade, and boy she is an excellent actress. I firstly saw her from Go Ahead, that makes me want to check out her costume drama. I was surprised she only has 2 costumes?? Both were amazing dramas though with great chemistry between the leads. One thing about her, she will nail her roles.
I still remember Li Jian Jian from Go Ahead, and Jinxia in UTP. Her characters in dramas are always iconic no matter if it is modern or costume. If there is a young chinese actress with k-drama acting skill capability, it’s Seven Tan. Hence, why i am so excited for her first fantasy drama. I feel like the drama quality is already rising when i saw her in cast list. And it is mostly because she is super good in acting. She might not be a traffic star, but she is an excellent actress. Her skills speaks for itself, not through traffic, but through her works/dramas. Plus, she has eyes for good scripts.

I agree with you that she has eyes for good scripts. She is a good actress and very cute.

Your website made it too much hassle to make comments. That’s why people rarely male comments here. I’m not sure this one will even go through.
