The historical drama "Bai Hua Sha," which began streaming on the 9th, is also attracting viewers' interest due to its many similarities with the 2024 hit work "Jiu Chong Zi."

"Bai Hua Sha," starring Meng Ziyi (孟子義) and He Yu (何与), began streaming on OTT services Tencent Video (騰訊視頻) and Disney+ (ディズニープラス) on the 9th. To mark the premiere, over 50 celebrities, including Yang Yang (楊洋), Bai Lu (白鹿), Yang Zi (楊紫), Yu Shuxin (虞書欣), and Wang Hedi (王鶴棣), carried out "cloud private screening support" (online private viewing support), and its unprecedented scale has also become a topic of discussion.

Although Meng Ziyi broke through with "Jiu Chong Zi" in 2024, when "Bai Hua Sha" started streaming, voices from viewers such as "It's almost like a remake of 'Jiu Chong Zi'" arose, and attention is gathering on their common points. In addition, Guo Feng (郭鋒) served as co-director for both works, the image of a strategic protagonist where the heroine, who suffered an unnatural death, reincarnates to seek revenge, and the overlap in main cast members further emphasize the similarity between the works.

Furthermore, for He Yu's dubbing, a voice actor who was in charge of Li Yunrui's (李昀鋭) voice in "Jiu Chong Zi" was employed, and reactions from viewers such as "The moment He Yu opens his mouth, Li Yunrui's face comes to mind" have been received.

On the 9th, the first day of streaming, the popularity index within the platform surpassed 24,000. As a drama distributed on Tencent Video in 2026, it became the 3rd work to exceed a popularity index of 24,000 on its first day. The well-paced story development is also receiving favorable reviews, and expectations are high for future growth in popularity. (Mathilda)
