In Simple Love Zhiyao plays a character named Xiao Han, a photographer. He works with model-born film and television newcomer Chen Yan, veteran actors Sun Chun and Qian Yinchen, and fledglings Li Haochen, Wu Qianqin and Ding Jin. The urban youth drama, which tells the story of several such pairs of young men and women struggling for love and careers, is quite similar to "Struggle" in the type of subject matter, according to the show's director, Gao Xiaofei. There is a plot about a part of a girl being pursued and adored by two boys and a position being chosen by two good friends.
The drama has been shooting in Qingdao for a month and a half, with scenes in Qingdao's Shinan Software Park, Hisense Plaza (an upscale department store), Futai Plaza, Taste of Xing International Gourmet Metropolis, Badaiguan Seaside Scenic Spot, and a hospital, among others.
It is expected that the shooting will be completed in early April, and it is not clear when it will be aired.
