Lay, a Chinese actor who is also a member of the popular Korean boy band EXO, said while promoting the Chinese drama “Operation Love,” that he prefers to do a war or military drama or movie over a romantic show or film.
The reason behind his preference is he feels uncomfortable doing romantic scenes, AllKpop reported. The 25-year-old celebrity explained he is traditional and conservative about kissing scenes since it is something people in a relationship do.
No to Kissing Scenes
“For this reason, I’ve never filmed a real kiss scene. If I did, it was actually just filmed to look like a real one,” Hall of Fame Magazine quoted Lay. While shooting “Operation Love,” – the Chinese name of the drama - there were rumors that the crew was kicked out of Sun Yat Sen University because they allegedly lacked permits to shoot inside the campus.
The incident happened on Dec. 20. However, the production crew of “Operation Love” explained that they left the university because of the size of the crowd that gathered to watch their shooting which could compromise the safety of the production’s stars. “Operation Love” is adapted from a Japanese drama with the same title and has a Korean version titled “Operation Proposal” which stars Yoo Seung Ho and Park Eun Bin.
Plot of Movie
The co-star of Lay in “Operation Love” is Chinese actress Chen Duling who won a college competition. The plot of the film revolves around Yan Xiaolai, Lay’s character, a man who was given a second chance to return in time and tell his childhood friend that he loves her. The friend was about to marry another man, according to Asiastarz.
Besides “Operation Love,” Lay is also in the cast of Jackie Chan’s movie “Kung Fu Yoga” and would be the male lead in the upcoming Chinese-South Korean film “Unexpected Love,” in which he is cast opposite Krystal, his labelmate.
