Chinese Remake of Extraordinary You: One Day in July with Shen Yue and Chen Shi Cheng begins filming

Released in 2019, Korean drama Extraordinary You is adapted from the webtoon “July Found by Chance” by Moo Ryoo. Now we get a Chinese remake! I might not be used to Shen Yue in long hair so I didn’t recognize her until a second glance.

Synopsis Per Wiki: The series follows high school girl Eun Dan-oh (Kim Hye-yoon) who is a student at a prestigious academy. One day, by chance, she discovers that the world she lives in is a fantasy world of comics. She and everyone else are merely characters in a comic book entitled Secret,[c] all under the authority of their omnipotent and omniscient Writer. Dan-oh is only an extra character and, worse, the Writer gave her a lame set-up: she is engaged to her long-time crush who despises her, and she has a heart disease and is expected to die soon.

Not satisfied with this fate, Dan-oh decides to forge her own destiny by changing the story’s plot and finding her own true love. Her hopes of freeing herself from the Writer’s control becomes stronger than before when she unexpectedly meets nameless Student Number 13 (Rowoon). But as the events around Dan-oh and Number 13, whom she named as Haru, gradually start to have parallels with the Writer’s previous work Neungsohwa,[d] changing her destiny could have a price to pay.
