Air date dropped for detective drama Pledge of Allegiance with Zhang Yun Long, Chen Ruo Xuan, and Sun Yi

Pledge of Allegiance, previously known as Brotherhood of Blades: Shadow of Mountain and River (绣春刀山河之影), is touted as the drama adaptation of movie Brotherhood of Blades with Sun Yi, Zhang Yun Long, and Chen Ruo Xuan. The story follows our two male characters. Up first is Zhang Yun Long who comes from a lowly background but due to a confusion, becomes a member of the Imperial Secret Police known as the Embroidered Uniform Guards. On the outside, he appears to be selfish and well-spoken, but deep down he’s honest and treasures brotherhood. Chen Ruo Xuan is an original guard; aloof and lacks good speech (lol). The two meet and are pulled into many cases and hatred that runs deep in the court.

Opposite attracts as rival tribe members Li Yi Tong and Bi Wen Jun light up the sparkles in Warm on a Cold Night

Synopsis From Viki because the Qiyi’s plot gave me rash reading it: Su Jiu Er (Li Yi Tong) is a young, talented, and personable female constable with a keen investigatory mind. She hails from the Qian Kingdom, meaning she is in possession of a rabbit-like spirit – and that she constantly feels cold. She is attracted to warmth, wherever she can find it. During the course of her investigations, she is forced to go undercover, where she comes across Han Zheng (Bi Wen Jun), a member of the Qi Kingdom’s ruling family.

Han Zhen is imbued with a wolf-like spirit, which grants him phenomenal strength and agility. It also makes his skin incredibly warm to the touch – a factor that makes Su Jiu Er want to cuddle up to him! But he lacks interpersonal skills, and is harsh and abrasive to everyone he meets. Opposites attract, however – and this unusual duo forms an increasingly close bond as they investigate a strange murder case that involves both of their kingdoms! Will their hot-cold connection lead them to love?

With almost zero promotion, Chinese Remake of Korean drama W begins airing with Zhao Yao Ke and Chang Bin

Next Stop Your World (下一站你的世界) is adapted from the Korean drama W with Han Hyo Joo and Lee Jong Suk which aired in 2016. The story follows our female lead who finds herself in her father’s webtoon, meeting and falling in love with the main character.

Not sure what the production is doing here, I’m scratching my head at their barely-there approach to promoting this drama. Coming from a highly popular Kdrama, the weibo home page has exactly 2 trailers and 2 posters. Lol. Is it because each episode is only around 10-11 minutes long so they don’t think it’s worth to foot out the money for advertisements? Hoping it would be a sleeper hit type of drama?

Begins airing 2/16~
