It’s finally airing on 10/24!
Hai Tang Jing Yu Yan Zhi Tou (海棠经雨胭脂透) is an upcoming republican series that is not focused on spies but make-up factory back in the days and the messy love triangle between two brothers and a beautiful girl. Li Yi Tong (Legend of the Condor Heroes 2016) and Deng Lun (Princess Agents) are the ultimate OTP but elder brother Ying Hao Ming will throw many wrenches to separate them.
Synopsis: Li Yi Tong plays Gu Hai Tang and in her quest to find her missing dad, she drifts to Kun Yang and meets Lang Second Son, Lang Yue Xuan (Deng Lun). Together, they work at his family’s rouge factory, until one day Lang First Son, Lang Yue Ming (Ying Hao Ming) meets and falls in love with her. His folks sets up a plan to trick her into marriage and when she finds out about their trickery, she develops a hatred for Yue Xuan. She agrees to treat Yue Ming’s disfigured face in exchange for a divorce letter. Meanwhile, Yue Xuan feels guilty for his part (how much and to what extent we don’t know) and decides to pursue Hai Tang one more time. Unfortunately, his brother’s returned new face comes with an underbelly of hate. He takes away the rights to operate the factory and repeatedly tries to split the OTP up. At the same time, multiple secrets are revealed; Hai Tang’s missing father, Yue Xuan’s identity. [Kappy@AVV]
It is a happy ending as everyone forgives and works together to fight the enemies. The factory becomes a national brand, flourishing into a beautiful story for the kids.

I am conflicted over this one. The stills, teasers and trailers all indicate a melodrama, which is totally not my cup of tea. It doesn’t help Li Yitong has a perfect sad face. But I like both leads. And on another forum someone claims of having seen a lengthy leaked part of the drama, and says that though it is a bit melo, it’s not cringey. I will probably take a peek here and there when the OTP is on screen.

Li Yi Tong, like Sun Yi, I feel are magnetic to melodramas. And both are gorgeous when tears slowly and smoothly glide down their porcelain skin. Heck, I’m a girl and I’m heartbroken for them; imagine the guys, Lenje! xD
The skeleton of the plot sounds like any other dramas out there so here’s to hoping they have something new up their sleeves!

I kind of laughed when I read the plot because the second male lead’s description is basically the description of aggressive, emo male protagonists in generic historical fiction novels.

That’s what I thought when I saw the mask – isn’t this Phantom of the Opera? lmao rip Hanson tho, stuck in another vengeful second lead role one day he will escape the typecast

Ying Hao Ming looks handsome. I was looking out for him, since Mystic Nine.
