It’s Tong Hua, tear-jerking goodbyes is a norm. Lol. One moment, there’s no promo, and now we have promos every day. Adapted from her novel, Once Promised (上古情歌), A Life Time Love will join the June ratings competition on June 12th, featuring Huang Xiao Ming, Victoria Song, Peter Sheng Yi Lun, Janice Wu Qian, and Luo Yun Xi.
Compiled Stills Since Last Post:
New Trailers:
- From what I gleaned about the novel Last Year: The story takes place in a mythological world with demons, gods, and humans cohabiting. Our hero, Chi You (Huang Xiao Ming) is driven by revenge and wants to dominate and unite all living things under one ruler. His resolve is immovable until he meets the heroine, a princess from the Xuan Yuan Kingdom (Victoria Song). During the chaotic times, two dominant figures emerged: Chi You, a war god from Shen Nong Tribe, and Prince Shao Hao (Peter Sheng), from Gao Xin kingdom. While our heroine is forced to marry Shao Hao, her heart belongs to Chi You, and conflicts in interest arise when her father invades Shen Nong. The meaning behind the title is a promise between our OTP that as long as he still wears the red robe she made for him, they would meet under the destined Peach Blossoms and that he would give up everything to be by her side. However, because Chi You never knew of the reason behind her political marriage with Prince Shao Hao, he lashes at her from a place of hurt and mistrust. From what I read, the novel does not end happily. This is also the prequel to Lost You Forever (長相思).
- More details on Chi You: He was once a beast god in the wild and was tamed by Shen Nong’s Emperor hundreds of years ago. He is described as both ruthless and sincere, cunning and naive, and invincible on the battlefield. He doesn’t have a rule book and only fights to dominate and unify.
- Prince Shao Hao: handsome, cavalier and indifferent, yet gentle and loving. His heart desires no feelings and only wants to conquer, using any means to achieve his goals – the crown and making Gao Xin the most powerful empire. If Chi You is a passionate fire, then Shao Hao is a treacherous, cold sea.
- The novel is being translated at One Second Spring if you’re interested in reading. The drama will have some changes…
Directed by Cai Jing Sheng (Flying Swords of Dragon Gate TV) and written by Tong Hua, A Life Time Love has 54 episodes with no air date yet.

I used to think HXM looked really good. I mean, he still looks good. Buttttttt, now he looks smug to me and too “model-like.” He’s not much of an actor IMO. The same goes for his wife.

Sometimes I wonder how he won all those awards he has – like hundred flowers, huabiao etc. He must have been good once?

He’s decent if he tries, or so I heard. The Prince of Han series was highly rated, as well as his movie with Vicky Zhao (I think, never watched either). He has some bright points, but he devotes more of his energy to becoming a star. Deng Chao is quite like him too, except he’s more highly regarded as an actor (multiple Golden Horse Awards nominations), and more well-liked as a star as well.
That being said, some of the Chinese awards are losing their prestige because of changes in the judging process. One of them handed awards to Li Yifeng and Angelababy and became a laughing stock overnight.

Deng Chao was very very good. So talented as an actor. But he’s decided to throw that away to become the funny guy or MC or whatever. Such a shame. He was a great leading man, he was really attractive when he played the straight leading man (not comical) even with less developed characters. Huang xiaoming was decent but only half the time. He just isn’t consistent but he did better with serious roles. He was hot in the bund remake lol
