First Impression: What do you think of the Handsome Siblings with Hu Yi Tian and Chen Zhe Yuan?

My first version of this story by Gu Long was the Taiwanese version with Jimmy Lin and Alec Su, followed by the TVB version with Tony Leung and Hugo Ng, then HK version with Dicky Cheung and Nicholas Tse. In all the versions, the mischievous brother (to be played by Chen Zhe Yuan) who was raised up by a group of villains is almost always the reason to continue watching. He’s unconventional, a prankster, and has tricks up his butt-hole. Lol. The newer version seems to favor the other twin more (played by Hu Yi Tian, he’s the more popular actor of the two), who was raised in a female-only palace, by a cold lady conspiring to see the brothers at each other’s throats. Why? Because their father rejected her and eloped with one of her slave girls! And this is her revenge plan.

The drama will air on CCTV, Qiyi, and Netflix, starting 1/16.

Richie Ren sings for The Legend of Chusen Soundtrack

Nice!! The song gives me mixed feelings mainly because the beats remind me of the good old days of themesongs back in 2000s, though it hasn’t struck the right spot for me yet. I know many didn’t like Richie Ren‘s performance in The New Adventures of Chor Lau Heung, but I absolutely adored his beautiful love interests in that version. And the themesong sung by him remains in my fond memories and playlist till this day. I just need to replay this song a few more times to really, really, love it.
