It is not uncommon for dating rumors to arise out of a movie or series’ co-stars. And in fact, there have been cases where some actors distance themselves from each other to avoid being labeled as a couple or disappointing fans.
However, there is recently an on-screen couple from the entertainment industry who are “pressured” by fans to start dating and publicly confirm a real-life relationship.
In particular, the Chinese historical drama “Destined” has been creating a buzz, providing ample opportunities for the leading actress and actor, Song Yi and Bai Jingting, to participate in promotional events. Recently, they attended a fan event to share about their hit drama, and during the event, there were many moments where their on-screen chemistry seemed to spill over into real life. In particular, they exchanged frequent glances and often made caring gestures towards each other.
Furthermore, when the couple encountered a crowd that kept pushing and shoving, Bai Jingting promptly stepped forward and used his body to “shield” Song Yi, causing fans to get super excited.
As a result, many fans expressed their support for the “Destined” couple, even urged them to date in real-life and publicly announce their real-life relationship. Some fans also humorously commented that if Song Yi and Bai Jingting hadn’t started dating yet, they should quickly pursue each other, or else the fans would be “angry.”
Below are some comments about the “Destined” couple:
- Bai Jingting! I will only accept Song Yi as my “sister-in-law”
- I guarantee that if you guys publicly announce a relationship, your careers will not be affected but rather flourish!!!
- This is the first time I see an actor’s fans begging for him to officially date
- Are they dating yet? If not, please pursue each other
- When Bai Jingting protected Song Yi from the crowd, it is my heart that skipped a beat
- I have officially fallen for this couple. Please date in real life or else I’d lose faith in love
On the other hand, “Destined” is the hottest historical drama nowadays, setting numerous records for the two lead actors. In addition to achieving the fastest temperature milestone of 10,000 on OTT platform iQIYI, “Destined” is also the second project for both Bai Jingting and Song Yi to achieve this feat, making them the only male and female actors to achieve such accomplishments individually within the platform. Many fans predict that the drama will receive high ratings, potentially surpassing a score of 8 on Douban and becoming the highest-rated Chinese historical drama of 2023.
