Hi! Here is some background info about Follow Your Heart. Feel free to add more. ♡

Credit and thanks to Reddit user Technical-Abroad8918 for these info posted 2 months ago:

●FYH is produced by the iQiyi studio behind Strange Tales Of Tang Dynasty (唐朝诡事录), New Life Begins (卿卿日常), and Mysterious Lotus Casebook. iQiyi dramas generally have better quality control when it comes to production quality, and this studio (奇光) in particular is known for producing a disproportionate share of dark horses.

●It stars Song Yi as the female lead, who's been the low key female lead of 2 of iQiyi's top 5 dramas ever. She's seen as a really solid actress with a strong track record with viewers.

●It's suppose to be a light comedy with a sprinkle of crime investigation and court politics, a genre that has done well for iQiyi where they have a large built-in audience base.

●But there's a twist. The male lead suffers from face blindness whereas the female lead has a mysterious disease that changes her appearance, and only the male lead can recognize her. This premise is actually inspired by a Kdrama (from which they've obtained the rights to adapt)

●Because of this, you can expect cameo appearances from a large cast of actors (some will be playing different versions of the female lead), including TVB veteran Yuen King Dan, Wang Yifei (Siying), and Sandrine Pinna (Legend of the Demon Cat).

●FYH also reunites Luo Yunxi with Love is Sweet director Yu Zhongzhong for the third time. He managed to make Love is Sweet, a pretty unremarkable screenplay, interesting to watch. And he's also good at pushing Luo Yunxi as an actor (he's the one who told him "you should go home if you cannot act" which haunted him ever since.)

Welcome! 

I watched the 2015 movie but only saw snippets of 2018 Beauty Inside. If I only had more time, I'd watch that too since I like Seo Hyunjin myself. 

Article about LYX's role in Follow Your Heart appeared in a Singaporean newspaper on July 29. This was a text interview with an international newspaper.

Some highlights:

👓 One of the challenges was acting out the feeling of not being able to see the other person's face.
👓 Jiang Xinbai's virtues he aspires to: innate tenacity, empathy for others, rigorous careful work.
👓 He thought Song Yi was quiet and shy, but after dinner with her, he found her to be very lively.
👓 If there is a chance, he would like to perform magic in a play.
👓 If he could transform himself, it would be an e-sports player bc he likes competition.
👓 He enjoys both acting and singing equally.
👓 He feels fortunate to be an actor as it allowed him to develop skills and experience things that shape the character that he would not have in real life.
