Michelle Chen and Wallace Chung play parents in "Legend of the Hidden Sea"
9 Apr - The new fantasy drama, "The Legend of the Hidden Sea" is set to star Xiao Zhan in the lead, but it was a different casting choice that sparked netizens' attention recently.
The drama, which is directed by Zheng Xiaolong of "Legend of Zhen Huan" fame, recently cast Michelle Chen and Wallace Chung to play parents to Xiao Zhan's character.
