Esther Yu Drenches Director Yu Zhongzhong, But He Responds to Backlash.
Chinese actress Esther Yu Shuxin found herself under fire after a clip of her playfully pouring a bottle of liquid over Speed and Love director Yu Zhongzhong went viral.

Netizens were quick to call her out, with some even speculating she had doused him in milk tea rather than water.
Despite the criticism, the truth behind the moment was far from scandalous.
Earlier today, Yu Zhongzhong addressed the backlash, explaining, "It's all clean water, don't worry. Getting doused symbolises blessings for the new drama's success."

Esther and her co-star He Yu were in Thailand filming their web drama when an earthquake struck the region.
Fortunately, the entire cast and crew were safe.
With filming now wrapped up, the team was in high spirits, celebrating their hard work.
Photos from the wrap party show a lively atmosphere, with Esther even smearing a bit of cake icing on He Yu's cheek.
The viral water-drenching moment was all part of the fun, though online speculation had briefly turned it into unnecessary controversy.
This situation is yet another reminder that internet narratives often lack context.
Thankfully, director Yu quickly stepped in to clarify, ensuring the situation didn’t escalate further.
