Chen Du Ling and Chen Jing Ke begin filming for Youku’s Modern Fantasy drama The Doll Game

The Doll Game (今天也没变成玩偶呢) is adapted from the novel written by Hua Hua Liao.

This looks really interesting! A world where humans slowly turn into dolls. Our female lead is a disabled girl, bound to a wheelchair; she’s abandoned by her parents after they got divorced and each had a new family. They did hire a nanny and made sure her life is taken care of by …outsiders. So when the world is threatened by this new doll-calypse, her mom asks a friend’s son to come and take her to somewhere safe. That someone is our male lead. But before they can get there, they are sucked into a deadly game, where the only way out is to win or risk becoming another doll.

You can read the translated novel here @ Wtr-lab.

I think the years of playing villainous second female leads has really shaped Chen Du Ling up to play this heroine, who is a little unhinged, a little sadistic, but very smart. Lol. I have always wanted a sick FL! XD
