Regarding 72 floors of mystery. I saw William Chan on 1st episode. Is he only guest star for 1st episode? It’s sad that he is not a permanent star for the rest of the episodes. I was wondering why 😦

Zhao Liying looks so small next to Kris and Leo. I am still sad that WC won’t be on the show, but probably for the best to avoid all those rumors. Reporters were trying to start ZLY-WYF ships but they both crushed them lol.

hahaha she does! She looks 5″2 there even though wiki said she’s 5″5.
I have a feeling that the show will try to start a ship out of the two of them too.
