The entertainment world’s two biggest stars are set to play the leads in a drama, and the announcement sent Weibo crashing.
As the two biggest names in the industry today, they’re both at the very top in talent, accolades, popularity, and every other measure.
Wen Ruoyu is a born actress, with countless awards at home and abroad and the distinction of being the youngest Best Actress in history.
Xie Jin entered the industry halfway through his career, yet went on to win the highest international music award. He’s a true musical genius.
One is an award-winning actress, the other a king of pop. They shouldn’t have had much reason to cross paths, but...
Every drama Wen Ruoyu stars in features music composed by Xie Jin. Rumor has it they’re friends in the industry.
Even his fans joke along:
“When Ruoyu takes on a new drama, we get a new song!”
Wen Ruoyu is famous for immersing herself in her roles. She’s been caught countless times struggling to come out of character, but the most famous instance was when Xie Jin made a guest appearance as her first love in her smash hit drama, a hugely popular series centered on a woman.
With red-rimmed eyes, she tugged at the hem of the person in front of her. The beauty’s tears were heartrending, and he pulled her into his arms to comfort her.
Weibo crashed that day, and rumors about the two of them were everywhere. Wen Ruoyu’s studio clarified that he had only been helping her get out of character, but their tradition of one song from him for every drama of hers never stopped.
Now Xie Jin has inexplicably decided to take acting seriously, and fans of the couple are guessing he’s gone to the set to pursue her.
They’re right. He’s doing it with the shameless intention of making her get so immersed in her role that she falls for him.
