Remarks

[Drama Info]

良辰美景 is adapted from the novel of the same title by Chen Xiang Hui Jin (沈香灰燼), the same author behind The Rise of Ning. And it reunites Ren Min and Ci Sha, except this time with Ci Sha stepping into his first-ever ML role.

Before The Rise of Ning, our leads were in The Longest Promise. And so this is their third drama together. 

It is directed by Jin Xiong Hao (You Are My Secret) and adapted by You Er, who also wrote the contemporary drama The Glamorous Night, a recent release that did relatively well.

Wrapped on August 18, 2025.
