Zhao Li Ying weeps in modern drama with Hawick Lau, A Wife’s Secret

 photo AWS18.jpg

Apparently, the word ‘rest’ doesn’t register in Mainland actors, as Zhao Li Ying hops from Ji Xiang Tian Bao to her latest modern drama with Yang Mi’s boyfriend, Hawick Lau. The tentative title is A Wife’s Secret (妻子的秘密) and let’s all hope for something saucy and scandalous. heh. It’s also a reunion with Zhao Li Ying and her Legend of Mermaid‘s co-stars, Kenny Kwan and Allen Ting.

The Synopsis: Jiang Bai He (Zhao Li Ying) and Li Ming Lang (Hawick Lau) are about to get engaged. With both as heirs to companies, the circumstances change for this perfect union when a big fire occurs. Bai He loses her loved ones, and the company also suffers losses. Li Ming Lang’s mother, Liu Su Fang, wants to call off the engagement, but Ming Lang can’t do it and brings Bai He home instead. Su Fang’s cold attitude catches the eye of Ming Lang’s secretary Ning Xia (Wang Zhi), who’s always harbored feelings for Ming Lang, and she decides to use this chance to fight for her happiness. However, Ming Lang and Bai He’s feelings only grow stronger over time, and Bai He gradually recovers with Ming Lang’s help.

A Wife’s Secret is about the reality of schemes and love, and touches on the current topics of a third party and disputes between the mother and daughter-in-law. Zhao Li Ying plays the innocent and kind Jiang Bai He, who although is the wife of someone wealthy, is not domineering, but rather, has always been very accommodating towards her husband. But for all her quiet sacrifices, she is picked on constantly by her mother-in-law, which eventually leads to her divorce. For her daughter Li Ke’er, Bai He decides to pull herself together and moves to the mountains. Relying on each other and going through hardships, they both grow and mature together.

Hawick Lau as Li Ming Lang. The Li’s second son. Also the man trapped in between his fierce mother and wife.

Zhao Li Ying as Jiang Bai He. I know the description says kind and accommodating but please please have a spine? Cause the moment you let the villains trample all over you, I’ll leave your butt in the dust!

Aw. Her pain is reaching out of the screen! Must be the scene of her family’s tragedy.

Having seen her in mostly ancient costumes, it’s lovely to see the girl in modern dresses.

Kenny Kwan as Ning Yu Xuan and Gao Xiang (double roles?). Think Autumn’s Concerto‘s supportive friend, Tuo Ye and that’s Kenny, befriending and developing feelings for our heroine as she lives in the peaceful countryside. His second role might be evil?

Gah. I used to have a crush on Kenny during my high school years. He was one of the few stars who got to grace the cover of my school’s folders (you know those folders with a clear cover sheet?) 😛 I believe I liked him because of his semi-long hair. Now it looks like my love for him is rekindled with this hairstyle! Though he is not the greatest actor, that lovely hair is enough to distract me….I hope…. hee! Kay, fine, it helps that he has a pretty face.

Kappy: Baidu says it’s slated for 60 whopping episodes and my face falls flat. Dangit! 60 episodes of family drama? Not my cup of tea. I might tune in to see what’s up but to stay and linger = bad for my health. Unless it’s good…

    I believe you’re talking about Sealed With A KISS, frea. I didn’t watch that drama but heard enough of the storyline to know it’s not my cup of tea. And yea….60 episodes…. lordy!

    Yuifee, he does look very young for a man near 40. I still remember his baby face when he was still with TVB. 🙂 All the young actors and actresses that I once called young are growing old now. Sigh.

    This is the second drama i had ever watch since i know Zhao Li Ying from the first dinasty drama. I just realize that her face look like Jang NaRa esspecially when she smile. Look beautiful..Love her acting beside Hawick Lau (handsome guy)..but, yea..modern drama having a 50+ episode is too long for me..

    Hey,

    I just wanted to correct some info on this drama. I just finished skimming through it and it’s actually 55 episodes not 60. I watched it for Zhang li ying and Hawick, but honestly, it’s not very good…at all! The plot was spotty and had no flow…and often times I’m left wondering what exactly is the point of the drama. It doesn’t really go anywhere. It sort of just depicts the lives of this one family, and once the major “bad guys” suddenly (it was fairly vague by this point) turned good again, there were a few slap-on villains to continue the “conflict”. Other than that…it was completely horrid.

    Also the kid’s name is Yun Duo, as in clouds.

    Anyways, I wouldn’t recommend this drama…unless like me you just want to watch it for the actors/actresses. Yeah. There were some amusing parts though. So it’s not entirely that bad.
