Old Boy is a 2018 Chinese television series starring Liu Ye and Ariel Lin alongside Lei Jiayin and Hu Xianxu. It aired on Hunan TV from March 4 to April 19, 2018.[1] [2]
A handsome airline pilot Wu Zheng (Liu Ye) and a beautiful but temperamental, elite private school English teacher Lin Xiao Ou (Lin Yichen) meet by chance in Australia under rather unpleasant circumstances. They start off on the wrong foot, but fate makes them cross paths many times.
The series is directed by Yu Cuihua (Love O2O, Eternal Love), written by Mobao Feibao (Scarlet Heart, My Sunshine) and produced by Xiong Xiaoling (Love O2O, My Sunshine). Other notable cast members include Teng Huatao (Dwelling Narrowness, Fu Chen) as its executive producer and Di Kun (To Be a Better Man) as its artistic director.[3]
Tangjia Sanshao, the original author of the novel, acts as the promotional ambassador of the series. This is the first cross-over collaboration between entertainment media (television) and literary work.[4]
The series was filmed in Shanghai, Beijing and New York from April to August 2017.[5]
