Liu Yuning first rose to fame playing second male leads in "The Long Ballad" and "Legend of Anle." In 2023, he gained 800,000 new fans across platforms thanks to "A Journey to Love," elevating him to Chinese drama heartthrob status. Last year, he grew his following by nearly 2 million with hits like "Bending Waist" and "One Dream in a Book," reaching new heights in popularity. Having not filmed for over a year and a half, he has finally quietly joined the cast of the crime drama "Iron Evidence." Helmed by Wu Bai, the director of "Crime Crackdown," this marks Liu Yuning’s first time playing a detective. With his tall physique fitting the character image, expectations are high and the show is already seen as a potential breakout hit before airing.
After his starring roles in "Bending Waist" and "One Dream in a Book," Liu Yuning released the modern drama "Roses Growing," though it struggled with poor reviews and ratings this year. Many fans have eagerly urged him to start a new project. As both an actor and singer, last month he wrapped up a 9-month concert tour across 9 Chinese cities, holding a total of 16 shows. On the 10th, he was finally spotted quietly joining the set for the new drama "Iron Evidence." Departing from Beijing Airport to Yunnan, he wore green attire matching the show's promotional poster. When he saw fans at the airport, he immediately greeted and waved at them, showing his warmth and friendliness.
"Iron Evidence" centers on the ongoing nationwide crackdown on criminal activity from 2008 to 2018, involving real-life cases of cross-border scams and clan criminal forces. The show highlights the clash between criminal gangs and anti-crime forces. Besides Liu Yuning, the cast includes Sun Honglei (star of "Crime Crackdown") and Wang Yuwen (lead actress of "Sudden Love").
