I’ll be honest and say I really wish Shi Shi didn’t pick this role as her comeback to ancient dramas, after filming If Love Like This and The Battle At The Dawn, because it really is the rehash of Bu Bu Jing Xin! However, on the upside, maybe having a mischievous smiling monkey in William Chan will give her an energy boost in performance? Still looking for the harumphhhhh feeling from Shi Shi. Lol. But anyway, Zui Ling Long (醉玲珑) now has an English name in Lost Love in Times, and is based on a novel written by Shi Si Ye. I like the name! No more Legend this and ancient that. Whew! They dropped the first posters just an hour ago of our leading male so have a look at his oh-so-serious face!
(If they release more posters within the next 24 hours, I’ll add them to this post.)
Synopsis Written by Kappy (I only skimmed some chapters): When I say a rehash of Bu Bu Jing Xin, I’m serious! After being betrayed by her modern boyfriend, our heart-broken heroine (Liu Shi Shi) time-travels to the past by accidentally activating the power behind some magical stones. She enters the body of a dying sorceress in a river. (LOL, river, water…) The interesting tidbit here that I wish they will keep is the short exchange of the two souls. We almost never deal with what happens to the soul of the original body; where did it go? Did it die? The sorceress has a heart condition and was gonna die anyway. But I guess they won’t since time-traveling is no-no these days. Afterwards, she runs into some thieves and is saved by two men. One of the men is 4th Prince…. Nicky Wu, er, no, his son-in-law, er, too soon, played by William Chan. Our male lead is known as the scheming God of War, cold and quiet. The other guy is 11th Prince and our heroine uses her medical skills to dress 4th Prince’s injuries. Turns out the sorceress belongs to a secret organization tasked with protecting the royal family. Her using dark magic is a source of conflict down the line, with officials against the idea of a King marrying a woman with a precarious, not-so-clean nature/practice. The second male lead is 7th Prince played by Joe Xu Hai Qiao (Hua Qian Gu).
William Chan Posters:
Lol. I know I complained about his horrible hair in Zu Legend but methinks he needs something in the forehead. Fu Ye’s hair was flawless (no matter the situation, might I add). Hehe.
Filming sets in preparation.
Directed by Lin Yu Fen (Hua Qian Gu) and written by Rao Jun (Hua Qian Gu), Shi Si Ye (author), Chen Wen Juan, and Dong Xin Ru, Lost Love in Times plans to have 45 episodes. Filming to begin shortly.

When I saw this, I was like “Yup, another time travel novel element that they are going to cut from the adapted version in order for it to be on TV” hopefully, they will stay close enough to the story so the audience will at least feel that it is the same. I hate this ban so much….

Kap, your comment about William’s hair was hilarious! “He need something in the forehead”

Yes…it sounds weird/awkward now that I read it. hehe.

LOL…no…His hair is hilarious! Why the bad hair days in period dramas? (Fo Ye doesn’t count…neither does Da Shi Xiong)

The hair looks Photoshopped lol.
Shishi is not really ambitious in her career, especially with her choice of roles. It bugs me as a fan because I want to see her grow.

I’m surprised she’s back. Thought she would want to focus on her marriage life.
30 thoughts on “Lost Love in Times (Zui Ling Long) drops William Chan Posters”
Now that’s one thing I know she wouldn’t do lol. She loves to work, but she’s just not very good with picking the script and roles.
The way she and Nicky are maintaining their marriage is by visiting each other’s sets. Both are workaholics for sure.

I find LSS boring onscreen lol Her roles make up for it though.

Lol…. And I thought I was being my normal nitpicky self. The hair is the problem! XD
Booting ceremony was held today 10/24/16. Shi Shi wasn’t present. Only William. His hair looks exactly the same as the posters. They must have taken the pictures and rushed him out for the booting in the same day. Lol.

Hua Qian Gu director, Hua Qian Gu scriptwriter, Hua Qian Gu related actors, young girl in love with an extremely attractive and cold “god” of war , maaaaaaam doesn’t this sound familiar? 🙂 Flashbacks anyone ? :p
That said, these pics look soooooooooo pretty <3, <3, <3 like, who am I kidding, I'll watch it… ^_^
P.S. I don't understand the comments about his forehead ?! :/ William is almost the perfect male example for the golden ratio in facial symmetry. *swooons and makes googly eyes*
30 thoughts on “Lost Love in Times (Zui Ling Long) drops William Chan Posters”
lol, William has a big forehead. His FY’s hairstyle made it less noticeable. He’s still an eye candy though. 😉

Nell, don’t say it out loud! Lol. I didn’t have flashback. I had whiplash. XD
I think it’s the tight-pulling of his hair making William look like he’s getting a facelift. LOL.

OMG! I nearly puked my drink!! how true…..Why did they uglify him like that?? Although he’s still hot.

aaahh, asian beauty standards are very different from the standards where i live. Around here nobody would even notice his forehead… 🙂

So someone tell me why is William so popular? He looks good but so do other good actors. Why is he in so many dramas in few years? I dont dislike him but I am trying to understand why he is so popular.
30 thoughts on “Lost Love in Times (Zui Ling Long) drops William Chan Posters”
I think he’s just likable and charming off-screen, gaining him a lot of affinity with people.

I think it started with The Four. Zhang Han, Yang Yang, WC, and MZJ were the new idol stars. Their careers have taken off since then.

Swagger. Also, one or two excellent dubbers :))))

I was thinking the same thing as you hohliu, but I really think it was ZLY who made him a star after her success in Journey of Flower.

He struck luck with The Four and The Ancient Sword. The latter shot almost every one to super stardom.
His acting is soso, but like LYF, they are charming off-screen. WC always seems like a bundle of joy and his constant show of affection for his fans makes them like him more.

I am so excited for this! His hair does look a bit odd here XD but he still looks so handsome! hehe
I loved his hair in Legend of Zu though! but Foye’s hair is definitely the best 😀
30 thoughts on “Lost Love in Times (Zui Ling Long) drops William Chan Posters”
Legend of Zu? His bangs weee horrible! lol
30 thoughts on “Lost Love in Times (Zui Ling Long) drops William Chan Posters”
lol, his bangs were awesome <3 (I had a mini heart attack in a good way when I first saw it) Idk if it's cause I like guys with long hair or I've just become hella William biased lately XD (I didn't like his hair as much when he turned evil though, although I did love his evilness XD)
30 thoughts on “Lost Love in Times (Zui Ling Long) drops William Chan Posters”
Any hairstyle looks better than William’s in Legend of Zu! 😀 I kinda like this one, looks clean, although in the first poster he reminds me of Jeannie. I was skeptical about his pairing with Shishi earlier, but now I think they will look pretty together. Now, about the acting, that’s an entirely different thing….
30 thoughts on “Lost Love in Times (Zui Ling Long) drops William Chan Posters”
Then you must have lost it when you read the title, “Legend of the Ancient Sword”. haha
That’s where I first fell in love with William. His hair isn’t all that bad here. At least it’s not plaited braids or worse…bald!
30 thoughts on “Lost Love in Times (Zui Ling Long) drops William Chan Posters”
William is that guy that needs bangs. Not a lot, but some. Also that black head accessory.. looks a bit awkward on him …
When I saw the first image I thought LSS was going to have the same hair style and I went NOOOO but then I saw the word “photoshop” ?
30 thoughts on “Lost Love in Times (Zui Ling Long) drops William Chan Posters”
OH hohoho, LOL I was thinking the same too. Glad you pointed it out here. LSS was good with those hair in posters, but she appeared very short like an old granny when it’s in action so I wasn’t hoping to see those hair again. Yeh, both of them do have such serious looking face on that poster for sure too.
30 thoughts on “Lost Love in Times (Zui Ling Long) drops William Chan Posters”
LOL. You guys. I kept wondering what posters you ladies are talking about. I purposely left the word photoshop there! XD
