I’ve heard of CPs, two, three.
On 6 September, the short-time actor, Zhui Zheng and Han Yu Xin, went online and next day went to Top4 on the red fruit hot list. This is already the eleventh time that both of them have worked together, and they have done well before. For example, just in the past summer, the two-person partner’s work “Only For Taking You” “Nan Sing Again” went online for a half-month, breaking a billion.
It’s one of the ways an actor survives in the short play market. – The short-time actors, who want to live in this game of “Scramble,” either do their best to get into the long-run or try to take root in the short-time arena. How can the latter be achieved?
The binding of CP is one way. Sun and Seo Ye-jin, Liu Yi and Ho Jie, Li Koye and Wang Peyan all used this method to climb to the top and keep warm.
However, the CP has reached a dozen times, and the problem has come: Subjugate her data is still working, but it has also received some of the comments from the audience: “Story is about the same” and “how can the script go wrong?”
Tie up the CP, a lifeguard or a shackle? Perhaps this is also about the development of the entire short play industry.
♪ The path to fame ♪
In February 2024, Zhang Fai and Han Yu-chun joined forces to launch the “DataEye Thermal List” Top1. In the play, Zeng Fai plays Zhui Zheng, Han Rain Zheng plays intern Zhang Zheng Zheng, an all-too-fast-faced drama. In addition to the play, the two individuals took the initiative to join forces and broadcast the video and live in a tremor (the first flower in the play is still the top video, which is also the point of many CP puffs).
As CP powder grows, so does their partner’s work, the second line of the ” Concealed Marriage Contract ” continues to be powdered with the short play ” The Smiths ” . And then, “Remember and Love You” “Beloved My Little White Face” “Thank you for falling in love with me” “For falling in love with me” “He’s second-in-a-kind” “Nan Sing” “When love arrives” “Only to take you” “Subject to her.”
It’s a sweet play, it’s always sweet, and the other two are still busy.
The two people are often on the air and they say something “involvedly.” For example, Han Yao-hyun was consciously named, and Han was very surprised to say “baby” to Zhenghui, who was called “Boy”. CP powder often finds them in the same frame, like going home at the airport after the show, going to concerts, even “someone saw” going to one another’s city on New Year’s Eve.
Of course, it’s normal to wear the same clothes at this time. Unusually, there were netizens on a live broadcast who questioned the fact that Han Rain is not worthy of Zhenghui, who said on the spot, “That’s too good for us! We’re high! ” , and this live broadcast was used as evidence by CP.
Besides the two, the fans are still busy. Among the major social media outlets, such as Weibo, Shwe and Little Red, there was a high level of discussion and reading of the topic of “Sunset Light” — as of 10 September 2025, it had been played over 1,130 million times, with 2,1622,000 tweets and 99,908,000 page views. During the same period, the topic of CP “What’s best for all” , which was made up of men and women in the short play “Remember what’s best for all”, was reported on the following platforms: 230 million times, 3.682 million and 49233,000.
Brokers have also taken the initiative to help the CP circle through cross-screen marketing. Not only did Hanaya Island proactively create CP topics online, but it also launched a big screen for “Sunset Rains” online, attracting CP powder to play cards and adding a piece of wood to the heat of both people.
And so, with the efforts of all, the “Sunsets and Rains” became a well-known pair of CPs for the sweet-looking drama world.
However, the story is not going to last forever.
After Subserving her, the challenge came with the heat. The script is too well-defined and not enough — the 70th episode of the show, which was marked as “The Big Lady of Revenge” , was devoted to a real revenge show for marrying a man, and the line went wrong — when it was called “The Girl of the River” and “The Miss of the Gang” (like many others), there was no new sparks in the familiar performance between a man and a woman. As a direct result, many fans say, “This one really can’t watch.”
It’s a question of binding the CP. Can the short play industry really keep eating?
CP bundling: Water can carry the ship and it can cover it.
It’s more of a “CP” than a play-a-star.
Because in the short play industry, where the loss rate is very high, CP short play is a sure way to survive. While some of the short plays were able to achieve high returns, overall, the industry as a whole was in compliance with the “Cyctic Law” — 20 per cent of the projects were in return, while 80 per cent of the projects were in deficit.
Together with low-cost and high-speed short play, there will be many new dramas on the line every day, and if they do not emerge from the many new ones, the result will be devastating. In this context, the short play of the CP, which is already recognized and the accumulation of fans, is 80% sure of making money — the fixed CP is equivalent to a “flow insurance” on the project side, with lower risk and faster return. According to the red fruit short play, the “Sunset Flow” piece, “Subject her” , 11 sets up a million bookings before they go online.
It must be acknowledged that binding CPs is a very easy way to form path dependence. On the one hand, the heat of the project can further increase the heat of the short-time actors themselves, and if they are more willing to pay if they are acting with CP partners, then why are they doing it with others? In other words, it’s the result dimension. On the other hand, the process dimension. It’s been a long time since the match has been made so much easier. After the N, whether or not true couples are in reality, some of the good will has long existed in past cooperation. The time for grinding is reduced and efficiency is increased again.
CP fans are loyal to themselves, and actors understand each other to reduce the costs of grinding, and these advantages attract the short play industry to make CPs inexhaustible. However, as water can carry a canoe, it can cover the canoe.
Can the CP keep tied?
If so, would it be possible to keep it tied to keep it “singing still”? The answer is not necessarily. Even though the Sunset Sunset Sunsets are still quickly breaking the 100,000-plus viewer mark, there have been problems with the partnership. From “You’ve got the wrong wife” to “Became her,” 11 works are becoming more sophisticated, and their performance is losing their spirit.
In 11 works, Tseng Fai has always been the dominant image. From “You’ve got the wrong lady” to “Damn, I’ve got the big guy” , Zenghui’s acting is on the rise, and it’s getting better , in “Damn, I got the big guy” . Then there was a lack of breakthroughs, and more and more — it was really hard, it was hard, it was hard, it was hard.
It’s called “hegemonic president falls in love with me.” In order to create a sexual tension, a man who is a “governance” and prefers a woman. On the other hand, if the male “strength” is used in the wrong place, the “governance” will become “domestic violence.” The “hegempe” of Tseng Fai has gradually tended to the other end of the scale. “Subserve Her” had a clip in which the master found the hostess with her ex-boyfriend, pulling her in the car, holding her chin and warning her not to be with other men. It’s okay to get jealous, but Tseng Fai is like, “If you cheat, I’ll kill you.” After all, it is better to run early to meet such a spouse.
The same goes for the Korean rain. The country’s rain and rain have a very strong atmosphere, with a sense of “Kyotsu’s” and a growing sophistication of make-up. But how can the sexual tension of the female role be shaped? It’s between low and high. There’s Marlena from Sicily, and Wang Jia Chia-chick from the country, and Su Li-jin from Flower Year, and the top official from Cloud Plum in recent years. Each of them performed female restraint and beauty and showed the tension of “willing to say yes.” The Korean rain has turned “sexual tension” into “greasyness” — using the “bite, obscurity, denture” formula to wear out the role’s inspiration.
In “Spring Night” , the beautiful charlatan of the Han Rainshow, Yuan Yuan, in an attempt to seduce the boss, she intentionally showed him to make out with others — biting on the mouth, obscuring on the eyes, humming on the body, “a chord of the body” ; in “Subsisting on her” , after having been swayed by once, Han Rainsun had a similar look, frowning and cleavage. At this point in time, the man was not able to see the woman’s face, which was supposed to have been smug and completely incompatible with the woman’s image of revenge.
Without acting support, the sparks between the two faded. But when things go too far, and there is a sense of understanding, the short play is a play, and everything is in the hands of the audience. How can it be that the sound of the tide remains?
Clearly, CP partners have always been at risk. Then what happens when you open it? Needless to say, it is not easy to look at Sun and Seo-yeon and know that they were once the ones who had the grooves of the spring, and now they are very hard to recognize by the viewers of the short show later on.
The CP is bound, and the road ahead is bright.
The problem with the eleventh piece, “Subject her” , is much more than the deviation of the two actors.
Something’s wrong with the book. Second, and most of all, which of the most basic names has been confused — the woman who is called Lin Shuwa and who is called “Miss Jiang” in the rain; the woman who says, “We speak to her family in Jiang City” with the subtitle “We speak” ; and the woman who is engaged to Zhi Ling, who says to her, “Don’t think you’re engaged, and you sit still in her place.” These are not minor omissions, but rather unscathed flings.
Is this a “subordination test” for CP powder? On purpose, the CP powders will be bought with no regard for the fact that there’s a “sunset rain” like a box, even if the drama logic collapses and the design is confused. It seems from the results of Subheriting her still on the list that some of the viewers did “pass” this test — the sound of the comment that “sniffed” over the alarm that the name was wrong.
There is no answer to guessing, but it is certain that the root causes of these problems are the inertia of industries that do not bypass CP binding. For actors, long-term CP bindings gradually deprives them of the judgement to pick the book, as long as there are “CP rivals” and even if there are gaps in the script, they end up in the cycle of “routing.” For industry, the creative logic of CP taking precedence over content is placing short plays in “low-quality internal rolls”, and more and more projects rely on CP heat to make quick money, neglecting the quality of content and draining the audience’s trust in the short play industry.
While the binding of CPs is a shortcut, the long road is bright. It’s very rare and difficult to eat. How to stay awake in the luminous results and break through in the luminous dilemma is the subject of each set of CPs, producers and the whole industry – – Actors need to jump out of the “CP symbol” to find a spirit in their role; producers need to put down “flow dependence” and replace the set with solid scripts; and the industry needs to break “low internal rolls” to make content quality a genuine pass.
Only in this way can the consensus of the CP be an added value, rather than a cover-up of the problem, the path of the sunset, the path of the short play industry, and the longer term.
Concluding remarks
The heaven is the most beautiful when it is dark, and love is the most charming when it is not.
Like in love, the uncertainty of obscurity is most beautiful. You can’t see through each other’s eyes, you’re moved by a little bit of interaction, and it’s this “blank feeling” that makes you feel better.
The same is true of CP, which is so dazzling and occasional sparkling that when it comes 11 times to the sunset, when sugar is used as a process, act as a template, and when even the script’s loophole can be covered by the CP filters, it’s about to be wiped out by the “smoothing.”
After all, no one will ever pay for a pompous set, as if no one would remain in a relationship without a sense of freshness.
