The Anticipated Premiere of Everlasting Longing
Angelababy’s new drama, Everlasting Longing, has finally premiered two years after her previous project, Crazy Horse. Airing on January 20, 2025, on Tencent WeTV, the release came without a dramatic announcement but was met with excitement from her loyal fans. Importantly, this marks Angelababy’s long-awaited return to the screen after facing a challenging period of public scrutiny.
Angelababy’s Challenges and Industry Hiatus
In September 2023, Angelababy faced significant backlash within China due to her attendance at a controversial cabaret show in Paris. This incident prompted questions regarding her role as a celebrity, impacting her public image and halting her professional activities. After an extensive period of absentia from the industry, audiences hope that Everlasting Longing will facilitate a robust comeback for the 35-year-old actress and reaffirm her position in the entertainment field.
Storyline and Cast Highlights
Based on the popular novel The Stolen Bride by Xi Juan, Everlasting Longing centers on Jun Qi Luo, a brilliant young woman leading a perilous double life. Forced into an austere environment at just 20 years old, she faces betrayal and accusations before orchestrating her escape. The drama portrays her arduous journey to reclaim her family’s fortune and navigate complex relationships, particularly with her adversary, Xuan Lie, played by Song Weilong. Fans can look forward to a gripping narrative helmed by director Mai Guanzhi, alongside a talented cast including Ren Hao, Bai Bingke, Yao Chi, and Wang Yiting.
