After the success of Love Game in Eastern Fantasy, many fans have been eagerly waiting for actress Esther Yu’s new drama. She recently impressed viewers with her modern drama Ski Into Love, and now fans have set their eyes on her latest project, Speed and Love—an adaptation of Shi Jiu Yuan’s novel Star Trails. In this new work, Esther Yu stars alongside rising actor He Yu, promising viewers fresh chemistry and unique characters.
However, the production of Speed and Love has faced unexpected setbacks. From the very first day of filming, rumors of sudden production halts and changes in the crew started spreading online. Stories about a staff member leaking confidential information began to circulate, leaving fans uneasy. Even more troubling are the whispers about alleged bullying on set, with some reports suggesting tension among cast and crew.
Esther Yu seemed to hint at these issues in a recent post, writing, “There will definitely be some complaints and difficulties on the road to growth, but I will do my best for you who love me! Don’t worry.” This message stirred more questions and concerns from fans worldwide.
In response, the production team took to Weibo to offer explanations. They confirmed firing the staff member who shared insider details and firmly denied any on-set bullying or serious conflicts. According to the team, directors Yu Zhongzhong and Zhao Xiaolei are leading the project with care, trying to ensure fair treatment of everyone involved.
Yet, fresh rumors persist. Some supporting actors have reportedly complained about poor treatment, keeping fans on edge and wondering what will happen next as Speed and Love continues its troubled path to the screen.
