Liu Shi Shi and Ryan Zheng’s Precious Youth unveils trailer

Another urban youth drama! And it’s the classic good-girl-bad-boy trope. It’s nice to see Liu Shi Shi in a modern setting, especially in one where her character has a temper and she gets to show off her real life ballet training. Ryan Zheng stars as the male lead and he’s the typical naughty bad boy during high school. They like each other but the love never blossoms due to youthful naivety and confusion. They meet each other years later, each walking a different path, making different life choices. Will the sweetness of youth be strong enough to pull them back together?

You know, all these dramas about meeting past loves/crushes make me nervous sometimes. I don’t know what I’d do if I see my high school crush again. Lol. Maybe I’d run and hide behind the corner. But in the drama universe, he would stop right before the corner. Tskk Tskk!!

A delinquent grows up to be an artist? How poetic!

Really like the way they braided her hair. She looks much younger!

I’m laughing hard at Ryan’s hair and uniform though. Did they get inspiration from delinquents in Japanese dramas? LOL!

    Liu Shi Shi look so pretty!!! I love how they style her hair. Much better than her styling on BBJQ. So the voice won’t be dubbed? I think she used her real voice here, i’m kinda not used to her real voice because her dubbed voice on BBJX and Sound of desert were so cute and fit her so well lol it’s kinda ironic.

    Btw what’s the genre of this drama? Melodrama? I thought it’s gonna be more romcom but the teaser kinda depressing like “My Sunshine” style. I miss bright LSS though

      It’s literally described as “inspirational urban youth drama.” Very generic. The synopsis was released hours ago and it sounds exactly like My Sunshine, except she’s a ballet dancer admitted to the Academy of Fine Arts and he’s a business man. Their youthful crushes didn’t develop because of…parents’ interference! Oh… Then she gets married and her husband disappoints her, leading to a divorce. And then, she meets Ryan again.

      I was hoping for a light-hearted drama too and the trailer triggered my alarm, and now the synopsis. Shucks!

        The synopsis sounds promising and after watching the trailer, I can already predict how it’s gonna be like. Liu Shishi as a grown up is so pretty than her dressing up as a student. It’s really nice to see Liu Shi Shi in modern drama with this kind of outfits. First time seeing Ryan’s drama, I have been following C-dramas for a while but never encounter Ryan before.

        I like My Sunshine and this one is gonna be young love reuniting as adults so I will for sure check it out. OTP playing as younger version kinda irks me though. It would have been better to find their younger counter parts instead.

        ohh, i was imagining the story to be something else then whats in the synopsis, i dont know how i feel about it, but i will give it a try, im not much into young lover in high school then meeting up again kind of love stories but there is buzz around this so worth a try

    I wish they get over all all this mumbo jumbo first love thing soon. Its pretty tiring watching the same thing over and over again.

    Doesn’t China have a whole slew of young pups? Just throw a bunch in a drama and make another proper youthful drama without the grown up versions.

    In this day and age if you want to know what your first crush is up to just google/twitter/facebook/weibo him and be done with it. Why leave it up to fate?

      Yea, I would like for them to do a proper teenager drama with all the new faces in high school/college environment.

      Fate is trope used in drama for dramatic effect of adult transformations. I do see my friends stalking their exes too. Lol.

        i would also like that although since im in college i would deviate more to that setting, but thats just my bias lol, it can have a awesome romance but focus also on the individual characters and problems many youths do encounter some worse then others. i love stories about growing friendships and hardship they go through and unexpected friendships, love and romance that may occur and it also doesnt have to be focused on getting jobs either.

    Another “My Sunshine” but I guess I’ll have to deal with it. I haven’t seen LSS in a modern drama for so long (besides the BBJQ fail) that I wouldn’t mind it too much. I hope it gets an early 2016 release date. 😀

      She’s much younger than we think she is due to all the ancient dramas she’s in. I will tune in too, hopefully, it will be watchable.

      Liu Shishi looks so gloomy in BBJQ modern drama, so it’s definitely changed for good with this type of genre. She should do more modern dramas.
