Take this as a mini batch updates for trailers. XD
=======> ♦ Zhang Meng and Zhang Rui singing the opening and ending theme song for their recently released drama, The Ladder of Love. “Have Cried, Have Hated” and “Let You Cry.” Poor girl has been under fire ever since the press conference, being accused of undergoing plastic surgery. I see changes but I don’t understand why people are angry over it. Perhaps it’s because she looked healthier and more adorable before? Ladder of Love follows the story of three sworn brothers/friends (Zhang Rui, Huo Zheng Yan, and Zou Ting Wei) after they separated from college to pursue their own dreams. They meet again, entangled in a complicated love pentagon (I think, I’m counting the number of slaps I see from the various trailers. LOL). Dilraba Dilmurat and Vengo Gao are also involved. I have embedded Episode 1 for those interested.
=======> ♦ Magnificent Sword with Beauty (美人如玉剑如虹) stars Sammul Chan and Michelle Bai Bing. The story follows their up-and-down love story in times of war and at the military training academy. Yu Bo plays his older brother. I don’t know who named the series with that title. At least it’s better than legend this and legend that?
=======> ♦ Sisters Over Flowers Season 2 (花样姐姐) premieres 3/12/16! Ma Tian Yu is out and replacing him is Henry Lau of Super Junior M. The older luggage boy is Aarif Rahman from Season 1. New members Gina Jin, Jiang Yan, and Song Dan Dan will be joining the previous sisters Lin Chi Ling and Lilian Wang. Henry is gonna be a hands full and I’m excited to hear Aarif speak English again. =D
=======> ♦ Jin Dong‘s new modern drama, For My Love/Our Love (隔代亲), reveals a quick trailer. This man needs to be in a drama I WANT to watch. 🙁 But then again, the storyline and promotional materials look really sad and could be potentially moving. Pan Hong plays a retired professor who dotes on her only grand daughter (Tong Lei). However, when news of their divorce hit her, she breaks down. She’s further torn apart when her beloved grand daughter survives an accident only to lose her sense of hearing. With the child custody falling to the father (Jin Dong), grandma has to disguise as a babysitter to stay near her great grand daughter. Awww. In the trailer, as the little girl wonders whether her mom and dad can stay together, Tong Lei tries to hold Jin Dong’s hand and asks if they can start over again. “No…”
=======> ♦ Two more promotional teasers for 15 Years of Migratory Birds starring Zhang Ruo Yun and Sun Yi. I finally figured out that Sun Yi reminds me of Li Qin!
=======> ♦ A teaser for the Vietnamese Version of Hua Qian Gu (The Journey of Flower). Please don’t tell me the three kids running at the end is Qian Gu, her Shifu, and her Sha Jie Jie. O_O But the quality looks good.
=======> ♦ Last Trailer and a music video for Rise of A Tomboy. One more week folks!
=======> ♦ Jung Il Woo‘s Edition of “Heartbeat.” Rise of A Tomboy‘s themesong. He sings in both Chinese and Korean.

For Rise of a Tomboy, Zhang Han is the main lead, right? Sigh. I miss Jung Il Woo being in a main lead role… He has a lot of charisma and I love him!!!! I hope he gets one soon.

I am so happy to see Sammul Chan is a new drama. He is one of my favourite actor. He is very good and experience. Looking forward to this drama.

Soft spot for Sammul for leaving TVB and keeping his adventures outside!

Zhang Meng….. Zheng Shuang…. all these pretty girls going under the knife is so hard to understand for me. Now they just look older and more haggard, do they not see the detrimental changes in the mirror? (I’m not being mean, just stating an opinion.) The pointy chin thing is OVERRATED. Not all faces match that face shape, stop it, girls.
Don’t really like the girl in Sammul’s drama. I don’t remember her…but I’m sure I have seen her before… where… where….
That little girl in Jin Dong’s drama is gonna kill me! She’s so cute.

stock cliche scenes in too many dramas I can do without: hero/heroine hit by a car, screaming and face-slapping, piggy-back rides

Rise of a Tomboy looks really funny. Hopefully there wouldn’t be stupid plots. And I totally don’t understand what JIW’s singing lol.

Zhao Li Ying is super adorkable!! She comes off very natural — and surprisingly Zhang Han does too. They have great chemistry. When Zhang Han isn’t confined to the typical cool/heartthrob roles he tends to get in the dramas, he can actually show some range in acting, like in here. (I hate to admit it, given his latest fiasco with the Rhapsody drama, urrghhh). The movie itself is a typical rom-com, normally not my cup of tea, but I’m excited to see Liying.
This said, I hope that the Rouge drama will soon at least give a trailer. I saw the teaser a few days ago, but it’s extremely short and doesn’t do much to satiate my need for Liying, and Lu Yi, and now Yuan Wen Kang :D.
Magnificent Sword of Beauty is a kinda weird title for a modern drama.
And Jin Dong’s drama — it sounds melodramatic, again, not my cup of tea. But the trailer shows a very controlled acting from a seasoned actor. I’ll skip it, but can’t wait for Ode to Joy!!

Rise of a tomboy looks fun! I love seeing ZLY like this – loud, genki and really cute. Even though i didn’t want to admit, Zhang Han looks fun in here too, lol. He’s usually so stoic… in his rich boy roles.
So… 15 years is a sad movie in the end? Hahaha. I’m still gonna catch it! Movies with separation and time just tug at my heart so much. Sob.
And Zhang Meng… oh man, she used to look so fresh and pretty back in the ancient sword. ): ): ):

I’ve thought Zhang Meng was beautiful for a long time since like 2009 or something. A lot of people are giving her s*** for going under the knife, but honestly they should kind of take responsibility for that too. She got waves a hate for not being beautiful enough when she got casted in the relatively new Tian Long Ba Bu. I’m pretty sure she got no less hate for her looks than Michelle did for Xiao Long Nu, and despite the general consensus of “it was terrible”, New Condor Romance did WAY better as a production than New Tian Long Ba Bu did. So they call her ugly and not pretty enough, then turn around for hating her for doing plastic surgery and saying she was prettier before??? What’s a girl got to do?! Not hating on the commenters here since I agree that Zhang Meng was prettier before, but it’s easy for spectators to say, they should have stood up to the haters and remained firm in beliefs and self-confidence, facial-pride whatnot. But as someone who’s entire career is based on the happiness of the public, consumers who are constantly talking about how ugly and unsuitable you look, it’s really hard to stand up to that, since pleasing them is like…your source of income and something you have to deal with as often as tax accountants have to deal with numbers. Yeah, I think she should have kept her original face and said FU to the haters, but I’m not going to be upset about her decision cuz I have no right to judge. People (out there) need to just stop hating on her. Personally I think she’s very sweet; how could people do that to such an adorable person?!

I learned this through a friend since I don’t read/follow scandals and gossips. Zhang Meng isn’t as innocent as we think… She was caught in a scandal last year for being the third person in a marriage-impending-divorce case and went missing for a while before coming back with a new face. The husband said there were no third person and zhang meng also stated that she was single…but then pictures of them kissing rose up and sorta debunked her lies. Of course then the husband said he were in the midst of getting a divorce… suspicious behavior. Some supporters even publicly voiced their opinion and slyly called Zhang Meng a nine-tailed fox – looking sweet outside but not so pleasant inside. I’m thinking with the new face change, she wanted to start afresh.

Excited for Sister Over Flowers! As I mentioned before, Victoria’s attitude was more than a turn off in season 1 so much so that I couldn’t watch past the first ep (I understand, apparently it wasn’t her “real” personality and was scripted. Whatever. Real or not, it wasn’t pleasant to watch). But excited for season 2! Really liked Henry in Real Men (well his cut in the girls version with Amber), and I’m riding on such a Gina-high, I’ll basically check out anything with Gina in it.

I’m almost positive that the girl next to Vengo in the pic above the cut (first pic of the post) is 2nd bro’s wife from 5 Gallants…I think.
