You know what I just realized? School begins next week. What’s worst? My schedule dictates that my classes/labs run 8-9 hours every day and I don’t get home until 8 at night. Scanning the schedule has sucked the life out of me. =/ This means updates will be scarce and many of you might ditch this love boat for a better ship. (Here’s when you step in and profess your love to this community! 😉 )
Anyway, away from my sobbing school life is a new Cdrama on your radar. It’s another novel-turned-drama adaptation, penned by Tang Qi Gong Zi, a writer known for fusing the past with the future meticulously in his fantasy romance novels. The premise of Hua Xu Yin revolves around a fallen princess, Ye Zhen, being revived by a magical pearl. Using the power from the pearl, she then travels the 9 states and helps people achieve their dreams. The male lead, Mu Yan, is the prince of the opponent country. My friends said the drama is based loosely on the novel, so many things are changed. And they aren’t happy.
Some stills:
Kevin Cheng as Mu Yan
Yuan Hong as Shen An
Shen An with his love interest – Song Ning.
Gan Ting Ting as Murong An
TRAILER:
- What a spoilery trailer, giving us the ending of Yuan Hong‘s character already? He plays Shen An and is romantically involved with a female general, Song Ning, played by Jiang Xin. I guess novel readers know the ending already but I probably won’t have time to read the novel.
- CGI is not that bad. It was kept to a minimum in the trailer. Despite not liking the fashion and hair in this drama, the trailer is solid. Not heart-breaking like my friends claimed the novel to be, though. And still, I’m not excited to watch this. Gahh. Pull me in writer!
- It’s hard to find pictures of the our main female lead, Ye Zhen, played by Lin Yuan. I checked the trailers and she looks familiar. Is it because she’s not a big name actress hence so little news?
- The ending of the trailer cracks me up. Kevin’s blue bangs just be flippin nonstop. ROFL.

I’ve heard a lot about this novel and I’ve read some chapters ( the few ones translated in english). Seems like a good but extremely sad book.
Interesting preview but I don’t like at all Kevin Cheng’s hair 😡
Im looking forward to Shen An and Song Ning’s story ^^ ( Love yuan hong !)
PS: Im here everyday, even if Im often silent. It means that I love this site. So even if there’s not a lot of updates, there’s quality and a nice community! 🙂

I’m going to be one of those annoying fans who have issues with the adaptations.. I mean, ok, I normally do have a problem with the adaptations, but I keep them to myself, because either it’s (a) something like LOCH which has a thousand adaptations and I can just ignore another bad attempt/interpretation, or (b) They cast someone able (I can fully get behind Eddie Peng and Hu Ge in Da Mo Yao). But here… I don’t know.. I mean, Hua Xu Yin is such a pretty and complex book, and when books are that pretty you sort of build up castles in your head, and… Well, no offence to any of the actors, but they don’t even come close to what was in the book. Maybe if they just called ‘inspired by’ and left it at that, I would be happier *shrugs and shakes fist at Tangren* Oh well, I’ll stop being whiny now and hope that I’ve just had a bad first impression >.<;;

I have to agree with Nutella, the book build up the character to be so pretty but im quite disappointed with what I saw in the trailer…I think the problem is they all look older then in the story and also the styling (clothes, hair etc…) looks kinda ugly… abit let down by the trailer actually. Really do hope the acting and overall adaption can make up for the lacking.
