The highly anticipated drama Love of the Divine Tree may not be set to release soon, yet the spotlight is firmly on its leading man, Deng Wei. Since filming wrapped up, his career trajectory has experienced notable highs and lows, especially in the past year following his breakout role in Lost You Forever Part 1.

This fantasy series marks Deng Wei's first major top billing as a male lead, and it comes at a time when viewers eagerly awaited his next project. However, contrary to expectations, Deng has not taken on a whirlwind of new roles. Speculation surrounds this lull: is it a shortage of suitable scripts, or perhaps a search for the right character to play? The lukewarm reception of Lost You Forever Part 2—which disappointed many fans, especially regarding his character's development—has not improved his standing in the industry.

Love of the Divine Tree offers a captivating story reminiscent of the hit drama Till the End of the Moon. The chemistry between Deng Wei and his co-star Xiang Han Zhi promises a familiar blend of love, fate, and dramatic reversals. Fans may find echoes of classic tropes like the love-hate dynamic and character transformations from good to evil and back again. While these elements often pepper the Xianxia genre, it’s Deng Wei's performance and the chemistry with Xiang that might just elevate this narrative beyond the typical.

As trailers for Love of the Divine Tree drop, anticipation builds, but the question lingers: can Deng Wei rebound and reclaim the momentum lost since his initial success? As he steps back into the realm of fantasy drama, audiences worldwide are eager to witness this latest development in his career. Will this project revive his trajectory, or will he face another setback? Only time will tell!
