Remarks

[Drama Info]

• Lin Yi is the ML of Put You Head on My Shoulders and Shen Yue is the FL of A Love So Beautiful (same author with similar Chinese title). They were asked about how they feel about collaborating. Shen Yue replies, "換乘戀愛又不是我們先開始的 (It’s not like we started the love transfer)." She’s cueing Hu Yi Tian and Xing Fei in their Hello, the Sharpshooter.
• Lin Yi and Shen Yue starred in a movie together. 
• Do check out their Hello Saturday episode (07/15/2024).

[Ending] Happy.
