Summary
The two criteria for the male leads were simple. One—being between the age of twenty seven and twenty nine, and two—unmarried, preferably without a girlfriend. And usually when they said ‘preferably’ it meant ‘most definitely’. The first requirement was simply due to the fact that this was a story of mutual redemption. The two male protagonist each had their life experience, which too young actors may not be able to grasp nor convey in the way that was required to carry this story and convince the audience. Or at least not to the degree that the production team envisioned and that the fans would be expecting.
However, the last requirement had sparked a controversy amongst netizens to the point where Youku had launched a poll and blatantly asked the general public ‘Will the actors’ love life affect your mood in following the drama?’. The four choices of response ranged from ‘Yes, I will stop watching’ to ‘No, I don’t care’. In the end, the general public agreed that they should be single and for obvious reasons—they wanted to be able to ship the couple in the drama.
