On-Screen Couple Goes Viral For “Secret” PDA At Public Event

The lead actors of a popular drama have become a hot topic after their public display of affection at a promotional event.

The actors in question are Jing Boran and Sun Qian, the leads of the Chinese modern romance drama The Early Spring.

The show, which recently concluded, has reportedly seen massive success in China. To celebrate its remarkable viewership achievement, the show’s production team held a farewell event, with both lead actors in attendance.

During this event, Jing Boran was seen gesturing toward Sun Qian, who then stepped forward and discreetly held his hand. The actor responded with a smug expression, as if the two were secretly dating.

In reality, it was simply a recreation of an iconic scene from their drama, in which the main characters are involved in a secret office romance.

This live-action recreation has sparked divided reactions. Some felt that the two were crossing boundaries by blurring the lines between reality and drama. Many were also bothered by the fact that Jing Boran was indulging in such intimate behavior with his co-star when he was already in a long-term relationship with supermodel Liu Wen. However, most fans were simply left swooning over their natural chemistry and hoped to see them together in future projects.

Hand chemistry is insane! Focusing on their fingers because its intertwining yī diǎn diǎn? 😭
