Even though their fantasy drama Love Game in Eastern Fantasy has wrapped, it seems the sparks are still flying between stars Esther Yu and Ding Yuxi! The pair, who have now played a couple twice on screen (also appearing together in the modern drama Moonlight), continue to show off their sweet friendship off-screen.
Recently, Ding Yuxi made a grand gesture to support Esther Yu’s latest venture: her first solo magazine cover with COSMO. The actor took to Weibo to share a screenshot of his purchase – a whopping 1,218 copies of the magazine! Fans were quick to notice the significance of the number: 1218 is Esther Yu’s birthday, December 18th.
A Pricey Display of Affection
This extravagant display of support came with a hefty price tag. Ding Yuxi spent 116,000 Yuan (approximately 254 million Rupiah) on the magazines. This is particularly surprising considering the actor recently went viral for an interview where he admitted to refusing a 30 Yuan haircut to save money!
Fans of both stars were touched by Ding Yuxi’s gesture, with many praising his dedication to supporting his friend and co-star. It seems that when it comes to showing his appreciation for Esther Yu, Ding Yuxi is willing to spare no expense!
