You know when I write about dramas, I rarely sit down and count them? Until I do and the list is humongous! There are about 20+ chinese dramas set to start filming in the winter of 2016, as you might already notice from the onslaught of press conferences and booting ceremonies this past week. To keep me sane, I have compiled the first batch here. Hee!
=======> ♦ Jia Nai Liang and Wang Xiao Chen‘s romcom, When Master of Reunions Meets Master of Break-ups (当分手大师遇上复合大师). Deng Chao plays producer, Yang Mi and a line of stars to play cameos. Production rolls with a press conference on October 8th.
=======> ♦ Chen Xiao and Sun Li‘s period drama, Nothing Gold Can Stay (That Year Flower Blooms The Moon Is Full, 那年花开月正圆). Peter Ho, Ren Zhong, Myolie Wu, Nikki Chow, and Yu Hao Ming make up the remaining cast members. Such a diverse casting! Peter’s wife volunteered to shave his head. HA. Booting ceremony on October 8th. (I’m highly anticipating this one!!)
=======> ♦ Hawick Lau and Angel Wang Ou‘s The Legend of Jade Sword (莽荒纪) began shooting on October 8th with a press conference as well. Joining the leads are Lee Wei, Zhang Jun Ning, and Niu Jun Feng. Haven’t seen Lee Wei in a while! Jun Ning is a plus. X)
=======> ♦ Han Geng returns to dramaland after 8 years to be a male lead and part of the producer team of Hard Memory (失忆之城), an action-packed science fiction based on a manhua. It’s the first part in a planned franchise with 55 episodes. Production begins 10/12/16. It also stars Kenny Kwan (YAY!) and Zhang Yu Xi (My Little Princess).
=======> ♦ Tentatively translated to 10 Years of Spring Wind Can’t Compare to You (春风十里,不如你), the youth drama based on novel Beijing, Beijing features Zhou Dong Yu (Sparrow) and Zhang Yi Shan (Chong Er’s Preach). Press conference was held on 10/12/16.
It’s not easy for Dong Yu to find a male lead not that much taller than her! They’re so cute-looking together! =D
=======> ♦ Half of My Lifetime or The First Half of One’s Life (我的前半生) is a drama with a strong cast in ♥ Jin Dong ♥, Ma Yi Li, and Yuan Quan. Production held a booting ceremony on 10/12/16. Mr. J was busy. Sigh ~
Oishhhh, the cute kids.

Yang Zi made some great friends being a child actress! Zhou Dong Yu and Yi Shan are cute too, addressing it each other as Shi Xiong and shi mei. Lol.

One day I hope someone has the good Idea of putting Yang Zi, Zhou Dong Yu, Yi Shan and Ma Ke all in a film together.
They are currently my most love young actor/actress.
Though I don’t know how to pair them up…

are you recuperating at home or just writing blog posts kap? lol. 2 to 3 posts every day. take care now..~~
im mostly anticipating sun li and chen xiao’s drama, but the pairing is a bit off with sun li looking like an older sister…… can’t believe how many tvb actresses are in it though!

Blogging is my only escape from this boredom, frea. But it is also getting boring too when you constantly update…. and just wait around to talk to people. Lol. Catch 22!

For a moment i thought 我的前半生 is based on the autobiography of the Last Emperor (which has the same title). But disappointed when I read the description, which appear to be just another family drama aimed at mid aged women…

LOL. We had the same train of thought, which got dashed pretty quickly. X)

I am anticipating Hawick’s drama, but more for Angel Wang Ou and Zhang Junning (whose great body I just noticed thanks to Border Town Prodigal lol). I love Angel’s costume, it’s so pretty!
Not sure why, the pairing of Sun Li and Chen Xiao seems quite random to me. Maybe because I still see CX as a starlet & Sun Li is the established actress, though they are probably of the same age group, I dunno. It’s actually how I feel about Wallace and Zhou Xun too (I know, I know, Wallace is an established actor himself :D)

Sun Li has been in the industry sinceeee forever and she has that mature air around her too. Their age difference isn’t much. CX is the same age as Li Ying, 29, Sun Li only 34. But he’s a baby-faced too! I know how you feel but the whole ensemble cast is irresistible!

I thought Yi Shan was doing the remake of Kill Me Heal Me renamed 7 of Me or something next? I didn’t realise he had this project first. I’m actually unhappy with Dong Yu right now, she is disappointing me in Sparrow, hopefully her new film with Yi Shan will be better.
Harwick looks so old in his costume…I hope to see him in modern clothes playing an age appropriate character soon.
I forget how pretty Chen Xiao is…then I see his picture and I go ‘aww yeah’ and Peter Ho…and Sun Li…somehow I would have love it if Peter Ho and Sun Li was the main couple instead, she just seems too old for Chen Xiao, both in real life and reel life. And I am really shipping Peter and Sun Li right now after seeing their names so close to each other.
