Did Sun Qian and Huang Jingyu Ever Date?
The recent buzz surrounding the online drama “Winter Solstice,” starring Huang Jingyu and Sun Qian, has reignited interest in the personal lives of these two actors. Promoting their upcoming show has led fans to speculate about whether Sun Qian and Huang Jingyu ever dated, especially after their appearance on a variety show where viewers perceived an awkward tension between them.
The Nature of Their Chemistry
During the show, Huang Jingyu praised Sun Qian, calling her a decent person. However, observers noted his evasiveness when questions about their relationship arose. Both actors are in committed relationships; Huang Jingyu is still establishing his career, while Sun Qian is dating Chen Jingke, with a stable relationship. This context suggests that their off-screen chemistry may have been amplified for the drama, creating a layer of ambiguity that fans have fixated on.
Implicit Relationship Narratives in Drama Promotion
The underlying tension often seen in such dramas is not uncommon. For instance, when Wu Jinyan was pregnant during her show’s promotion, fans still expressed interest in her on-screen pairing. Similarly, the dynamic between Sun Qian and Huang Jingyu, despite the clarity of their relationships, reflects a traditional tactic where drama contracts may include stipulations for promoting a ‘couple’ atmosphere, regardless of the actors’ real-life partnerships.
As “Winter Solstice” nears its premiere, the initial awkwardness may subside, turning the couple’s previous ambiguities into a professionally choreographed partnership, bolstered by contractual obligations for promotional purposes. Only time will reveal how their interactions evolve as they navigate this complex landscape.
