It was a good year for TFBOYS’ Jackson Yi (易烊千玺). His series “The Longest Day In Chang’an” (长安十二时辰) was able to overcome the government’s “costume drama ban” and aired to favorable ratings. His first leading role in a movie, “Better Days” (少年的你), starring alongside Zhou Dongyu (周冬雨), was highly anticipated ever since it was announced.
