First Stills Released for Hu Yi Tian and Li Yi Tong’s DT Appledog’s Time, Li Xian’s A Love Never Lost

I always get giddy when I can combine dramas into one post with a connection! Here, it is the boys from last year’s hit drama Go Go Squid: Li Xian and Hu Yi Tian, their dramas decide to drop stills on the same day, with vastly different topics.

=======> ♦ Okay, let me see if I get this right. DT.Appledog’s Time (the drama) is the sequel to last year Go Go Squid. Both are adapted from Mo Bao Fei Bao’s novels. And from what I know there are three novels in this series; God’s Left Hand, Fish Playing While Trapped in a Secret Room, and Honey Stewed Squid. Hu Yi Tian’s character, Wu Bai, is Han (Li Xian)’s cousin and he first laid eyes on the love of his life in the drama Go Go Squid, but it was played by a different actress. In its own drama version now called DT.Appledog’s Time (亲爱的挚爱), Li Yi Tong will be playing the heroine. Our hero is a popular player of the national robot competition (different topic from the novel?)

They have been filming for a while and finally dropped some stills.

=======> ♦ Republican drama A Love Never Lost (人生若如初见) with Li Xian, Chun Xia, and Wei Da Xun dropped first stills.

    What is national robot competition? Making robots or? I want esports with all the nice keyboard actions haha! I read Appledog and DT’s novel many years ago and if I rmb correctly it’s a prequel? Their story came before Squid, I think? Their story wasn’t as memorable for me compared to Squid, hopefully this drama will change my mind.
    And HYT looks so good damn.. His republican-era drama changed my mind about his acting skills, he acted quite well in that.

      No, their story was what was used in GGS, the timeline interwine, this one’s original novel start just before Stewed Squid and finish after it and contain all the actual esport bits, Stewed Squid only had the romance. The author is a scriptwriter by profession, so I guess to fill in the gap, she went with robots, they wouldn’t run into trouble airing primetime making robots unlike esport.

    They actually met many years before Gogo squid in Singapore for the first time when DT was just 16. I think in gogo DT was 20+ and appledog nearing 30. They met when she was at her peak in gaming.

      i think they are following the drama version more so the story is a little different. its going backwards from the novels. lol. they should have adapted in order!

      appledog is maximum 25 (might be 24) in the novel, dt is 22 in the novel, she quit team solo when she was I think 15/16, and she was at singapore when was 17/18. Drama setting they are about 3 (guessing, 25 is retirement age for esport player and dt is still at his peak) to 5 years older (going by novel birth years)

What do you think?
