I say upcoming but this post has been delayed for 2 weeks and half of the dramas have aired. Lol. If you have watched any, let me know how they are!
Four Youth Dramas:
=======> ♦ Unrequited Love (暗恋橘生淮南) with Zhao Shun Ran and Zhu Yan Man Zi. This is actually the third installment, following Liu Hao Ran’s With You and Li Lan Di’s My Huckleberry Friends, all three written by author Ba Yue Chang An. The story is similar to other youth dramas, the girl has a crush on a kind, good boy for 11 years. She buries her love deep down, afraid of letting others see it, and watches him date other girls, while she continues to scribble his name in her diary.

=======> ♦ Suddenly This Summer (忽而今夏) with Bai Yu and Bu Guan Jin premiered on 4/19. It’s adapted from the novel written by Ming Qian Yu Hou and tells the 10-year love story between two teenagers, how they make a promise to attend the same prestigious college and the fallout of that broken dream. They look mad adorable!

It already premiered on 4/12 with the central theme suggested by the title. Our hero calls himself the lone wolf and yet he can’t escape the bullying of three female friends.

=======> ♦ One and Another Him (我和两个ta) with Dylan Xiong and Zhang Zi Feng. Of the four youth dramas, this is the only one with a fantasy element whereas the male lead is a math genius who has a secret: he has another soul living inside him. This makes him cautious and introverted of people finding out his secret, until a bubbly girl comes along to burst every secret bubble of his life. HA! Sounds adorable!

I was mistaken about Suddenly This Summber being the third installment of ZhenHua school trilogy because I saw Teacher Zhang and Principal Pan in the trailer but turns out it was from different writer. I wonder if they use the same universe as With You and My Huckleberry Friends or its just like pure coincidence that they have same actors as the Teachers.
Anyways I’m most excited about Unrequited Love! The trailers looks good and I already feel relatable lol. The writer is really good at writing relatable and nostalgic youth storyline. Even the side characters in her other two trilogy are all so charming. This new production team, I don’t remember the company’s name, has become one of my favourite aside from Daylights Entertainment. Ganna keep an eye on their production after this.

I think the production company’s name is translated to Sugarman Media in English but I read that they aren’t involved in handling the production of this drama despite their work on the previous two in the trilogy. That’s disappointing because they’re starting to become one of my favorites too based on their works so far but the trailer gave me hope that this drama will turn out well. Just FYI, the production company has announced two projects that they might start filming soon, My One and Only Love which is adapted from a novel and a remake of the tv series, Gossip Girl.

Sorry, small correction, the literal translation of their name is more like “Little Sugar People” but that’s the English name of their company i’ve seen for this company logo.

Unrequited Love is my favourite of the series. But I must say that this cast is pretty disappointing…

I need airing dates for Unrequited Love now! I’ve read few chapters of the novel and liked the story line better than the other two. That said With You and My Huckleberry Friends is two of my all time fav youth drama and i feel Unrequited Love is better than them. I’m just disappointed about the cast as they seem a little different than what I’ve read in the book.

I watched I will not be bullied by girls because I like Cai Xukun (did anyone here watch idol producer? no?) . The first episode was fun, entertaining enough and had that sort of ridiculous tongue in cheek humor that I like. The school setting was super ostentatious. Unfortunately after episode 1 i lost the link to the person who was subbing.

Unrequited Love plot sounds so unoriginal but I’ve been impressed by this author’s works previous works. Hopefully there’s something to make this stand out favourably against the sea of plain girl pining for popular hot guy high school stories.

Checked I will not be bullied by girls because of all Cai Xukun hype. Can only say it was very painful.
