I miss Mr. Sunshine. Don’t you? After making a splash in dramaland with his tv debut performance as Prince Yan Xun in Princess Agents, Shawn Dou has other projects to quench your thirst; all of which have finished filming (he wrapped the last one up last week). For the count, Shawn has four unaired dramas under his belt. Reminders below. =D
Words in the alley reveal that Tears in Heaven is airing on 10/9. *fingers crossed*
Dramas (Ranked in Order of Filming):
=======> ♦ Of the four drama projects, only one is an ancient drama and that’s the most anticipated one right now as it’s been sitting pretty, gathering dust in the palms of evil. Tribes and Empires: Storm of Prophecy (海上牧云记): In the ancient times, 6th Prince Mu Yun Sheng (Huang Xuan) was born. Because his mom is a demon (takeaway is…she’s not human), he is not loved by the Emperor, and lives in seclusion and loneliness. He happens to obtain an antique painting of a spirit demon and befriends the little trapped being (*tears*). Both promise to escape to the world’s most beautiful place. Mu Ru Han Jiang (Shawn Dou), son of a general, is elected to be the prince’s friend since he was young. Their peaceful days end when the eight tribes rebel. Mu Ru army fails to protect the royal family and is then exiled, breaking the friendship formed between the two families – Mu Yun and Mu Run. A few years later, a new rebellion threatens the royal family and this time, adult Mu Ru Han Jiang is the only one capable of protecting them. Pain and sorrows of past wounds now manifest in the new generation.
Paired up with Xu Lu.
Zhou Yi Wei.
Peng Guan Ying.
Huang Xuan.
=======> ♦ Next one on my watch-list is melo modern drama with the beloved Li Qin, whom he spurned in Princess Agents. Lol. Tears in Heaven (海上繁花) is adapted from Fei Wo Si Cun’s novel Variety Flowers At Seaside. Reporter Du Xiaosu (Li Qin) meets and falls in love with Shao Zhenrong (Leon Zhang), but his mother is passionately against their love. During his medical trip to the mountains, Zhen Rong dies in a mudslide. To forget the pain of his death, Xiao Su works and works until exhaustion sends her to the hospital. All her suffering is witnessed by Lei Yuzheng (Shawn Dou) and he silently helps her from the side, which provokes the wrath of Jiang Fanlu (Wang Ruizi), who makes Xiao Su’s at work harder. More scheming happens to make Yu Zheng’s company fall and with the support of Xiao Su, he makes a comeback and their misunderstanding is eventually cleared up. (This drama will tear our hearts up – Leon is the super nice, handsome doc!!)
Trailer.
=======> ♦ Then there’s the oddball in See You Again with Tang Yan. A modern drama with a twist in time as the heroine encounters an accident on the plane and is sent back in time. Armed with knowledge of the future, she begins chasing her future husband (Shawn) once again, just to find out that he’s a heart-breaker alright! XD
=======> ♦ Lastly, Shawn’s newest modern drama is From Survivor to Healer, with actress Miao Miao. Look closely and you’ll notice the crew of familiar actors from Tribes and Empires. LOL. Everyone looks so darn different in modern suits and good hair. Filming has been completed on 9/22 as well!

Thanks for all the Shawn’s projects update. Miss his smile and love his acting. Tears in Heaven is gonna be full of angst but i will be watching anyway. I hope the second female lead doesn’t take things too far and have LiQing character as damsel-in-distress.
Speaking of Peng Guan Ying, he had a few lead roles in two of korean remake dramas, but not a big production. Maybe after this drama with Shawn does well, he will probably get more offers.

Aww, can’t wait for these. I haven’t watched many modern Chinese dramas so will be a nice change up.

I can’t wait to watch more of his dramas. I love the way they dressed him in “Priness Agent”. I started to like his work since the movie “Under the Hawthorn Tree” movie. If you haven’t seen it – you should check it out.

I’m starting to think that movie isn’t as obscure as I thought it was. Many fans of Shawn brought up this movie whenever they talked about him. I thought it was pretty indie although from a well-known director.
