“The 19 year old Wang Yibo left a very deep impression on me. Yibo has a lot of action scenes in the series.

Even though the set props have been considered not to be dangerous after much inspection, but under such cold conditions, Yibo, who was wearing such thin clothing, still made us break into a sweat! In order to interpret the role well, he really jumped off and jumped on the container each time and practiced the fighting movements over and over again.”
