Plot and trailer of Jun's upcoming C-drama Exclusive Fairytale explored
SEVENTEEN's Wen Junhui began his acting career as a child, while his co-star, Zhang Miao Yi had made a name for herself through her much loved C-drama, When I Fly Towards You.
The upcoming high-school romance series is a heartwarming tale of childhood friends, Ling Chao and Xiao Tu, who embark on a journey of love and growth together. The two have completely different personalities, but they share a special love-hate bond since childhood.
Ling Chao, a high-school boy played by Jun, is smart and competitive, but has always felt overshadowed by his mother's preference for daughters. He has also been devoid of his father's love, which made him overly sensitive and self-dependent.
However, the neighbour girl, Xiao Tu, brings warmth and joy into his life with her adorable personality. As they grow up together, Ling Chao realizes that his feelings for Xiao Tu go beyond sibling-like affection, but he struggles to confess his love.
The recently released trailer for IQIYI's Exclusive Fairytale reveals a heartwarming and lighthearted relationship between the leads. Xiao Tu, carefree and affectionate, sees Ling Chao as a brother due to their close upbringing.
