Is Liu Haocun about to wrap up filming? A summary of his schedule and subsequent arrangements before the Spring Festival.

"Who's the Murderer 11" (formerly "Celebrity Detective") has officially announced its premiere on February 18th, airing twice a week on Wednesdays and Thursdays. This eleventh season of the mystery-solving variety show returns with a stable lineup and familiar format, generating considerable anticipation among longtime fans. This season continues the core structure of "detective + legal education," with He Jiong as the mainstay and veteran players Zhang Ruoyun, Da Zhangwei, Wang Ou, Wei Chen, Yang Rong, and Wei Daxun returning. The return of familiar faces ensures the continuity of the show's atmosphere and pace. However, Wu Xin is not among the regular cast members, and may appear as a guest. The guest lineup also includes familiar faces from other variety shows such as Qi Wei and Wang Mian. The most anticipated new face is Wang Anyu. His previous performance in "Let's Go Now" was both "outrageous" and hilarious, earning him the nickname "undercover protector," showcasing his strong sense of humor. He has high emotional intelligence and a likable personality, and even occasional lapses in logic don't annoy viewers. This naturally positive quality perfectly matches the brain-teasing yet lighthearted atmosphere of "Who's the Murderer." Whether the show can stand firm in a more intense logical game has become a major highlight of this season. As a long-running variety show, "Who's the Murderer" has maintained a stable reputation for more than ten seasons, which is a rare phenomenon in the industry. The program mechanism is not complicated: it is a real-life script murder mystery format, with an independent case in each episode. There are six players, including one detective and five suspects. The real murderer is hidden among them, and the suspects can lie. The truth is finally revealed by voting. What really attracts the audience is the creativity of the cases and the dedication of the guests. He Jiong's control of the pace is still the soul; Wei Chen and Zhang Ruoyun are responsible for rational analysis and logical progression; Da Zhangwei provides the humor and atmosphere; and Wang Ou and Yang Rong make their characters more profound with their solid dramatic expression. Many classic cases are still mentioned repeatedly, such as the second season's "Terrifying Nursery Rhymes", whose atmosphere and memorable lines are still circulating on short video platforms. However, it is undeniable that Sa Beining's long-term absence still leaves some viewers feeling unsatisfied. The "Double North" combination went from being at odds at the beginning to having perfect chemistry later on, forming a chemical reaction that is difficult to replicate. The evenly matched contestants between He Jiong and Sa Beining not only elevated the level of reasoning but also enhanced the dramatic tension in the characters' relationships. While the current lineup is more established, that competitive spark is truly irreplaceable. Therefore, "Who's the Murderer 11" presents both highlights and disappointments—Wang Anyu's addition may bring new variables to the variety show, while Sa Beining's absence remains a void for longtime fans. Whether this is a surprise or a disappointment remains to be seen; viewers will have to wait until the show officially premieres on February 18th to find out.

Actress Lee Chae-min may star in the new drama "My Reason to Die" (working title). On February 12th, her agency, VARO Entertainment, stated, "Lee Chae-min has received an offer to star in 'My Reason to Die' and is currently in discussions with great interest." The drama is adapted from the popular webtoon of the same name and is a youth romance story about Ji-oh, a high school senior preparing to compete for a spot on the national taekwondo team. It is reported that Lee Chae-min has been invited to play the male lead, Cha-gyeom—a mysterious yet charismatic character. If she ultimately accepts the role, this will be another new challenge for her in the genre of webtoon-based youth dramas.
