I’m back! Not physically (still sitting in the hosp but I have access to a laptop!) I’ll do a detailed write-up later on my brief absence but now it’s time to catch up with the long train of news I left behind. First is the stylish new trailer released this past weekend of Lu Han‘s Fighter of the Destiny (择天记), a novel-to-drama adaptation from author Mao Ni, starring Gulnazar, Janice Wu, Amelie Xu Ling Yue, and Joseph Zeng Shun Xi.
It’s been a while that I like everything from hair to clothes of a drama production. The young cast members look really well-put together and I’m glad their stylists love them all equally. Lol. Upcoming novel-to-drama adaptation of Mao Ni’s Fighter of the Destiny (择天记) have a share-day at work and interviews are done with the cast. I haven’t personally watch it yet so I’ll include the videos at the end for those interested.
A press conference was held today and some character posters were released for drama adaptation of Mao Ni’s Fighter of the Destiny (择天记) with Lu Han, Gulnazar, and Janice Wu.
Aww… Our cutie pie, Janice Wu, finds herself in a second lead/supporting role (depending on script changes) after the popular My Amazing Boyfriend, in the upcoming novel-to-drama adaptation of Mao Ni’s Fighter of the Destiny (择天记 ), opposite Lu Han and Gulnazar. I can’t picture these two together yet mainly because Lu Han looks so darn babyish next to his leading lady.
In light of the drama version news, I finally sat down to watch Alec Su‘s directorial debut of the movie adaptation and I’m left emotionally unmoved. The plot moved so quickly without a moment for the characters to breathe and for repercussions to sting, leaving me without a connection to the characters. It didn’t help that the characters were pretty unlikable. Lol. I think a drama version would’ve been better road to take. The Left Ear is a Chinese novel about teenage love and regrets written by Rao Xue Man. Our heroine, Li Er, is a 17-year old high-school student with a deaf left ear. She has a crush on the top kid at school and befriends a rebellious bar girl of the same age. Her world takes a turn when the said bar girl is tasked by the boy’s half brother to ruin him. The bar girl accomplishes her mission but at a great price.
