First Official Posters for Fangs of Fortune with Hou Ming Hao, Chen Du Ling, and Cheng Xiao as filming wraps up

Previously known as The Story of Mystics, Fangs of Fortune (大梦归离) is adapted from the tales and myths in Classic of Mountains and Seas. Neo will be playing a demon lord Ying Long, which I’m gonna guess is modeled after the mythical dragon in control of rain and floods. He wants to die but doesn’t want to accept fate so is led down the path of rebirth.

The visual in this drama is pretty-pretty but it’s their BTS chemistry that is worth mentioning; dancing, singing, and playing around with Guo Jing Ming (one of the directors) too. They had a blast when it first snowed at Hengdian.

The Legend of Shen Li drops ending theme music video for Valentine’s Day

I’m excited for this! The last Li Ying’s drama I watched and finished was the questionable-production-but-I-love-the-cast Legend of Fei. Then Wild Bloom I have only managed to watch half of that drama. Lol. I’m not really a modern drama kinda person ya know. I have my reservations about Shen Li too; with Lin Geng Xin looking exactly like his not-my-favorite character in Princess Agents gave me multiple whiplashes. But I decided to be an adult (heh) and give this couple one more chance to woo me. XD

Zhang Bi Chen once again lends her voice for Li Ying’s drama! This is the 5th one so far. They have become very good friends throughout the years. 😀

Stunning scenery and backdrops in The Immortal Ascension with Yang Yang and Jin Chen

The Immortal Ascension (凡人修仙传) is adapted from the novel written by Wang Yu. It follows the story of an ordinary boy who goes on a dangerous road of cultivation to become an immortal. After seeing the trailers, I had this familiar feeling in terms of directing and checked out the director. Sure enough, it’s Yang Yang, the female director in charge of Ever Night, and was also in charge of some beautifully done dramas; Imperfect Victim, A Dream of Splendor, etc.

Filming wrapped up in December of last year.
