The stills are so beautiful. Pink and snow and blues. These two are no doubt very popular choices in costume dramas and here they are in the latest production, Happiness Over Two Lifetimes (两世欢). Chen Yu Qi plays a noble lady, daughter of a general, who is kidnapped on her way to a temple to rest/reflect. Upon waking up, her memory is gone and she escapes an arranged marriage by masquerading as a guy and becoming a constable in a local town, where she meets Yu Meng Long’s character, who was just assassinated and returned back under a new identity (memory intact). The two work together to unravel the deep political conspiracies within the palace.

I read a comment somewhere that this is based on a novel – is it true? I couldn’t find it mentioned anywhere else . . . inquiring minds want to know, Kappy!
Yes, this drama is adapted from a novel of the same name per Baidu. Author is Ji Yue Jiao Jiao. I checked shushengbar and it doesn’t seem like there are English translations.
I am excited for this series and Yukee’s other one with Leo Luo. Just hope she isn’t stuck forever in ancient costumes. Need to see how she performs in modern series too.

It feels like the wait we had for Li Ying to do modern dramas. xD
Didn’t even know they filmed a drama together. ‘m excited about this drama. When is the release date?

No release date yet, Mochi.. ;(
Yu Meng Long is a walking buzzkill no matter how “pretty” he looks in ancient garb? His acting is just so blah (bland) and dude is not that good of an actor either in all honesty. Sorry Alan Yu fans.
Yuki is no terrific actress either but is preppy enough to keep one watching to see what’s coming. Story sounds good at least
His face is so loooooooong.
My girl Chen Yu Qi is in the house, I will be watching.
End of story.
The thing about the main male lead is that he can’t really act even though he looks great in ancient drama. His good for second leads but for main lead…I don’t know if he can keep the audience interested. He needs a strong female lead to back him up or else this is going to be hard to watch
