Fantasy adventure romance drama Long Gu Fen Xiang with Jing Tian and Zhang Bin Bin has wrapped up filming

Long Gu Fen Xiang (龙骨焚箱) is adapted from the novel written by Wei Yu (same author behind Rattan). Rattan Director will also helm this one! Jing Tian plays the leader of Mountain Ghost/Spirit of her people, being molded at a young age by seven powerful women who are referred to as “mothers” of the clan. Hence, our female lead is cold and arrogant, has absolutely no fear. Because she grew up in a relatively peaceful time, she is also… quite… lazy. LOL. If not needed, she prefers to stay indoor (sounds like my kind of girl). But her other mission is to collect the “pearls”. Sorry, unsure how to translate that. During this trip, she’s attacked by an unknown person, whose kung fu is on par with her. Determined to investigate, she’s led off track and meets our male lead. Together, they undergo many challenges and unearth many secrets and dangers.

Filming wrapped up 11/6.

Zhao Lu Si to romance Luo Yi Zhou next in modern drama Hou Lang

Hou Lang (后浪) is an upcoming drama with Zhao Lu Si and Luo Yi Zhou. It focuses on Chinese traditional medicine. Our heroine is in her twenties and lives a lonely life without her parents. She has no care for the past or the future. In an incident where she speaks up for the troubled, she’s aided by a professor of Chinese Medicine (Wu Gang) who later learns of her background and takes her under his wings. She starts anew and becomes a student in his Chinese medicine course, where his son (Luo Yi Zhou) constantly collides with her. Under the Professor’s guidance, the students find a new direction in their lives and the Professor also comes up with new ideas.

I had to do research on Luo Yi Zhou because I did not recognize him. He’s part of boy band IXFORM which was formed after Youth With You 3. I have seen some clips of his dancing, which is really good. Acting-wise, he’s in Central Academy of Drama Class of 2018, alongside of Jackson Yee, Hu Xian Xu (Hikaru no Go), and Li Lan Di. He’s brand new so good luck to him! Scoring a fun-loving partner like Lu Si and a veteran acting powerhouse in Wu Gang is a pretty sweet deal.

Why a spinoff? Because 62 episodes isn’t enough to tell the story? Cdramas, we need to talk about the new lengths you guys are reaching for in terms of dragging out storylines!
