Official images and trailer for Blossom with Meng Zi Yi and Li Yun Rui

Blossom is adapted from the novel Jiu Chong Zi/Deep Purple (九重紫) written by Zhi Zhi, who also wrote The Sword and The Brocade. This is another second chance type of novel. After our heroine dies in her first life, she realizes she has overlooked many things. She wakes up in her toddler years. It’s strange to me how a lot of novels want their main characters to go back in time to when they are a baby. Quite useless, no? They don’t even have control of their bladder yet. 🤦 As for our male lead, he has brewing troubles within his own family, hostile relationship with his dad, which results in many deaths.

Youhug’s description: The first daughter of the Dou family, Dou Zhao, who was abandoned by her husband, was accidentally reborn. She gets to know Song Mo, who is carrying a family grudge. Together they save their families from destruction, vindicate the unjust cases of loyal officers and keep the country in peace.

Drama is still filming.

Mao Xiao Tong and Zhang Bin Bin reunite in heavy-hearted modern drama Yu Sheng You Ya

Yu Sheng You Ya (余生有涯) is a modern drama adapted from the novel written by Mo Shu Bai. It reunites costars Zhang Bin Bing and Mao Xiao Tong. Do you remember which drama they were in together? It’s been so long! Yang Yang’s Love O2O in 2016! Anyway, the topic of the drama is a heavy one – our heroine lives quite an ordinary life and she thinks it would remain that way. Until that one night when her husband forgets to pick her up and she ends up being raped. She dares not speak about the incident; afraid of society’s savage victim-blaming – that she shouldn’t be drinking at the party, that she shouldn’t be wearing a dress, that she has shamed her family and husband. She cries in silence. But her previously divorce-seeking husband sees her suffering and her tears. He holds her hands and tells her that she needs to speak up and press charges. Thus begins her story of justice and healing.

Oof. What a topic. Let’s hope it is handled with care and love. ❤️
