I’m just gonna say it…this production sucks! They have some of the most beautiful people on set and yet they release the most uninspiring stills and preview ever! If you blink, the trailer is gone. Lol.
Stills:
Feel free to view older pictures by visiting the drama tag. Three Heroes and Five Gallants is another drama adaptation of the novel written by Shi Yukun and follows the heroic journey of legendary Justice Bao with his guards against corruption, rebellions, and oppression.
Male lead Yan Kuan as Zhan Zhao. He’s the knight in red, protecting and upholding justice with Bao Zheng. Famous versions of him were played by Kenny Ho and Vincent Jiao.
Zheng Shuang as Ding Yue Hua. Our female lead.
OTP.
Chen Xiao as flirty Bai Yu Tang. Zhan Zhao’s arch enemy.
Lame posters. XD They basically stitched together the stills…
More lame screencaps I took from the preview. 😀
Quick Preview:
Three Heroes and Five Gallants will hit the small screen on 2.17.16 (friendly reminder.) Looks like Zheng Shuang will dominate the first half of 2016.

You’re totally right. The quality is really really…lame. I like Chen Xiao and Yan Kuan (YK especially) way more than Hawick, but I have to so right now I’m FAR more interested in Chronicle of Life, where the production at least looks really good, and the trailer pretty artful shot. This just looks really shoddy and low budget, which is surprising. given the number of pretty popular celebrities in it. ZS, while often hated on by the public, is undeniably well-known with plenty of high-budget lead roles under her belt. With this…unless they’re saying they filmed this in like 2006 or something…and even then the older Shen Diao Xia Lu (Condor Lovers) was way better quality.
And it’s not just the resolution, or the unoriginality and boring-ness of the posters. It’s the basic looks. Yan Kuan’s ‘stache is decidedly uninspiring and a waste of “resources”, Zheng Shuang’s officer attire and styling is HORRENDOUS! She has like no visible hair, the hat tie-part under the chin looks really fake and unreasonably girl-ified. Like seriously. It’s so well-tied and the wide part so smooth and lying so flatly and perfectly in a bow shape…that’s just bs. Her clothes look fake and cos-play-ish, no. Worse than cos-play…and she’s seems so unnatural as a strong officer! She’s just so…ingrained in weak damsel roles. She’s trying to look strong in the stills, but honestly she just has a permanent I’m-angry-and-sulking face. And Chen Xiao! What did they do to you! It’s definitely the hair. And the weird flare-shoulder-gauze sleeve thing. It’s like they’re trying to make him look feminine and cunning like a mix of DFBB and Ouyang Ke (from Legend of the Condor Heroes). Even his sex-changed character in Swordsman was way more badass looking than this. And it’s something about the eyebrows…is it me or did they make it even thicker than it naturally is? He just looks really weird and unnatural. And Yan Kuan’s naturally gorgeous but you make him somehow look like a generation older than his “arch nemesis”? Stylists! You guys are so useless. They need to hire the peeps from Shanying. Wait they don’t need Shanying to raise their level and quality, they just need the peeps working on Chronicle of Life. If they can make insubstantial shit look so enticing and beautiful, they can make your story-rich, historically badass production look stunning. You guys are totally messing everything up!
Sorry guys. I’m having a bad day and I’m just venting.

They don’t even have to hire Shan Dong folks, just get Yumama! His dramas are always pretty too, however controversial they are. He knows how to market his people and his projects.

The duck is so cute 🙂
Yuma may butcher scripts but at least his productions look nice 🙂

WTF did they do to Chen Xiao and Yan Kuan??! These guys are period beauties without even much special styling but here they made Yan Kuan look like a pervert with the stupid mustache and Chen Xiao look weird with that shitty center-part wig… *sigh*
LOL they don’t even need to hire people from Shanying – just hire the styling/costume group that HR contracts for their period dramas! I hate HR but their styling, makeup, costumes, props, etc. are awesome because they get award winning stylists/designers for their period dramas. Dunno if you’ve seen the latest Zhuxian production stills but the costumes / makeup / styling / props are effing beautiful 🙂 Remember Ancient Sword? Now that one had badass costumes and awesome props 🙂

LOL technically Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao are rivals more than arch-nemeses, so I dunno what direction the drama is gonna go in…

This looks like a low budget 1990s drama.
