The newest female-centric drama, Fry Me to the Moon 滊天的她们, starring Song Yi, Charmaine Sheh, and Li Chun, is scheduled to premiere on March 29. In addition, the show emphasizes Chengdu’s urban way of life and has several sequences that include Chinese food. Song Yi and Li Chun, who co-star in Joy of Life, are collaborating once more on this project.
Song Yi’s Professional Path
The 34-year-old actress has experienced ups and downs in her career. She went through difficult times after college, getting passed up for roles and frequently rejected. Song Yi’s mother kept pushing her to be married during this time. Song Yi said that she was unemployed for more than a year before receiving an invitation to try out for a supporting role in the TV show The Disguiser. This chance turned out to be a game-changer for her career, as she went on to play the lead role in popular shows like My Heroic Husband and, more recently, Destined, starring with her purported partner Bai Jingting.
Charmaine Sheh was billed second.
Song Yi has returned with a new drama in which she plays the lead role. Given Charmaine Sheh’s established status as a leading lady—highlighted by her recent triumph in The Queen of News—the 48-year-old actress’s choice to play a supporting role alongside her may have shocked some. Sheh had previously taken on a supporting role in The Story of Yanxi Palace, alongside the relatively unknown Wu Jinyan, despite her own success and popularity. That program went on to become a big hit! To be honest, it’s encouraging to see and proves that having the correct function to display one’s abilities is more important than one’s name.
