Hee! Now this is a cast I’m attracted to without second thoughts. As you know, Tang Yan has wrapped up Lady and the Liar, and Li Yi Feng‘s Return of the Heiress, has finished airing. Thus, the two are chosen to lead in a new period Cdrama titled, Butterfly Fragrance. To round out the full cast are Shu Chang and William Chan, portraying the second leads.

Butterfly Fragrance focuses on the early republican days, paying meticulous attention to the wardrobes of the period. Li Yi Feng plays a sweet, rich young master (which isn’t hard to imagine at all, if you catch my drift, those puppy eyes!), while William Chan takes on the cold, heroic, investigator. On the ladies’ side, Tang Yan embodies the spirit of a sweet, strong willed Chinese Woman, in contrast to the nobly charming young mistress of Shu Chang. Moreover, the two ladies often find their interests in conflict with each other (ha, like that’s new in dramaland.) Aside from that, the two families will battle over producing the best incenses in the area.

First Official Character Stills of Butterfly Fragrance:

Somebody. Anybody. If you understand the Chinese language, please write a letter to Tang Yan’s stylist, begging them to fix the straight, thick bangs across her forehead.

The washed out colors make Tang Yan look much older.

Li Yi feng remains boyish in his jiffy suits.

Love what Shu Chang is wearing.

The drape hanging down Willian Chan’s neck isn’t very flattering.

Looking good in the following.

And how cute are they?!! 😀

Creative team: Screenwriter is Li Ya Ling (Beijing Love Story, Spell of the Fragrance) and co-directed by Ho Shu Pui (Pretty Maid and Battle of the Beauty) and Cheng Zhi Chao (Beauties of the Emperor, Athena).

I did not like a single drama that they did. This shouldn’t worry me….right?

Butterfly Fragrance plans to have 30 episodes.
