Well, well, well. With the high number of dramas airing right now and shelved dramas waiting to see the light, it’s expected to hear announcements of new projects left and right from everyone in Cdramaland. Not a minute too soon. But how many dramas are you interested in, is another question.
The Legend of Fragrance continues to release character teasers to rile up interest. Not that they need to when they have It Boy (Li Yi Feng) and It Girl (Tang Yan) as the main leads. Different from their dramatic long trailer released last year, these teasers are comedic and borderline silly. Fragrance will take the slot after Empress of China completes its run. Cannot wait!
Li Yi Feng pretends to be a girl… “Am I pretty?”
HOHOHOHO. They give new meanings to fragrance.
Upcoming urban drama, Beautiful Secret (or Secrets of a Beauty) confirms lineup: F(x)’s Victoria Song, Peter Ho, and Shawn Wei. It’s said to be a sequel to Peter Ho’s successful drama, Sunny Days. Victoria plays a gifted singer and becomes an overnight sensation. Peter takes the role of a producer, in charge of molding her into the next super star. Sigh. I’m meh over the casting decisions, to be honest. Keane should be happy since her hubby is playing a producer wearing spiffy hot red pants. 😛
Nowadays, every project or drama can become a movie in China. What’s up with that? Here’s Run Brothers upcoming movie, to be released on January 30th, 2015. I see Evonne Lin and Kim Jong Kook as guests!! Lol. They must love her a lot to invite her for the third time! I love her too!!
The sad news is….First season comes to an end today. Final episode: 1/16/15. Unsure if they will keep the same cast but Season 2 will start in 3 months, so around April.
Wong Cho Lam!! XD
Movie Trailer:
After strolling around in a wheelchair for Sound of the Desert, Hu Ge is back on his feet in an upcoming war drama, The Pretender. He leads a gang of masculine men, Jin Dong and Nick Wang, and brave women, Laura Wang (Wang Le Jun), Angel Wang, and Song Yi in a battle at Shanghai. It is adapted from a novel by Zhang Yong, who will also lend a hand in modifying the drama scripts. I’m kinda looking forward to this show. It’s scheduled to be only at 25 episodes. OMGOSH. Am I in dream land? That never happens for a Cdrama! Lol.
Hu Ge looks extra giddy and nerdy in his soldier uniform. 🙂
The oh-very-serious men. 😀
The cast in black and white photos.
Speaking of Sound of the Desert, Liu Shi Shi also finds herself in the 1940s in The Battle At The Dawn, starring beside veteran actors, Qian Yuan Wang (The Crossing) and Xilin Zhang (Agent X). Wow. It’s a grand production, invested and supported by the Ministry of Public Security in Beijing…and other related Bureaus. They even held a big press conference this past week to introduce the cast. This is definitely a big contrast to her previous roles. Hopefully, the veteran actors can draw out the passion in Shi Shi’s acting. I’m still holding out for that moment.
The male lead is so buff! O.O
After wrapping up The Deer and the Cauldron 2014, Han Dong joins Kiton Jiang (first), Lee Wei, and Crystal Zhang (third) in a modern drama loosely translated as Fragrant Woman’s Heart. All I know is that our heroine grows up in a orphanage with a keen sense of smell. Sounds familiar? Modern version of The Legend of Fragrance. 😛
Lin Gen Xin‘s ancient drama about General Zhao Yun has leaked photos of their Korean actors. Yoona as a bright girl…. and Kim Jung Hoon as Cao Zhi.
The Legend of Mi Yue‘s long trailer, featuring Sun Li, Liu Tao, Alex Fong, and Xuan Huang.

So excited for the war dramas coming up! Been trying to find a good drama to watch ever since Battle of Changsha since I’m not too into cutesy idol type shows and unfortunately, that seems to be pretty much all China produces 🙁

Vic t oria is apparently quite popular in China, not sure why. I cannot stand her dose of korean cuteness in her acting. Peter should do more mature roles that fit his age.
For once, im excited about the war dramas. LSS LOOKS AWESOME SMOKING
Lol. Same here, maybe time away from her princes and pretty boys would challenge her acting.
War dramas make me sad so rare watch it unless the Otp survives!
Legend of mi Yue…. Hm.
… Betty is a good actress but itll be nice to see her mold younger actreses.

Actually Victoria isn’t that childish. She’s actually very mature. All the cuteness is just an act because the Korean audience loves it. She said that before in one of the show. She’s naturally a very bubbly happy-go-lucky type of girl. I’m saying this as a fan. if you get to know her better you’ll see how sweet and nice she is.
Her drama sounds just like that one Korean drama with Rain and her bandmate Krystal, but Krystal was groomed to be a songwriter whereas in this one Victoria is to be groomed as a singer. And Peter remains me of Rain sometimes lol.

I’m sure she is a nice girl in real life, like all celebrities usually are. My statement refers to the cuteness she injects into her “acting” that I have a problem with.
Rain is an uncle now, should stop romancing younger idol girls. LOL.

Now that I reread your comment I see where you’re at. Sorry I should’ve read more closely. I only saw one drama of her and it’s that one with Calvin and Zhoumi, something called When Love Walked In or something. But her character is really bubbly cute in that drama. I can’t really judge her in her acting because I haven’t seen that many of her drama.
And about Rain, I totally agree. I couldn’t watch that drama of his because of how awkward the age gap is between him and Krystal.

Victoria looks so weird with out her bangs. The story line kind of reminds me to Dolphin Bay

Don’t worry Jess, with the amount of war-themed dramas coming up, you won’t be bored!
Angela, LSS looks very alluring in that photo.
DrinkingHotWater, OH GOSH. Can’t believe I remember that drama without goggling it. I watched it years and years ago….
Li Jia Hang successfully proposed to Li Sheng. Aww. They’re so cute and I’m so happy for them! Look at all the details he put into making it romantic and sweet. I’m not one to adore stuff animals and roses but one can appreciate his efforts.

I’m not too excited for Fragrance. Kinda sick of Tang Yan….lol….to her fans…I’m sorry
Just too much of her. But okay with LiYiFeng. Haha.
And I agree I hope LSS will bring something more. That extra flame I’ve been wanting too.
I like her as a person like she sounds really sweet in interviews and I’m sure she’s a nice girl but her actings need to improve.
And I really hope Princess of Lan Ling won’t get disheveled. That’s my biggest anticipation for this year even though no big real names. LOL

Not a great marketing tactic to air Tang Yan’s dramas back to back, especially when her characters aren’t that different. But I’m watching Fragrance for the second lead couple, so I’m good. =)
Princess of Lan Ling is being shelved for that very reason, oh the irony. Latest scoop is it might air on CCTV. But don’t count on that until confirmation rolls out.
