Li Lan Di and Ao Rui Peng join hands to solve cases in Coroner’s Diary

Coroner’s Diary (朝雪录) is adapted from the novel The Powerful and Favored Coroner Imperial Concubine written by Bu Yue Qian Zhuang.

Per Qiyi: The story follows Shen Wan, the daughter of Shen Yi, a high-ranking official of the Supreme Court, whose entire family is massacred after being implicated in the Prince of Jin case. Shen Wan escapes to Jingzhou by disguising herself as Qin Wan, the Ninth Lady of the Qin family. Once perceived as gentle and easily bullied, Qin Wan undergoes a “drastic transformation”. She not only excels at healing the sick and saving lives but is also skilled in performing autopsies to investigate crimes. She even manages to subdue her manipulative aunt, stepsister, concubines, and cunning servants within the Qin household. During her investigations, Qin Wan meets Yan Chi, the crown prince of King Rui. Yan Chi is determined to clear the Prince of Jin’s name, an ambition that aligns with Qin Wan’s own mission to vindicate her father. The two return to the capital together, solving a series of strange and mysterious cases along the way. After returning, the discovery of a skeleton leads to the reopening of the Prince of Jin case. As they delve deeper, Yan Chi and Qin Wan gradually uncover the truth and ultimately expose a shocking secret buried deep within the palace.

Airing 7/16~ (Why does this feel so far into the future?)

Song Wei Long strikes again with his 3rd drama of the year (after Everlasting Longing and Youthful Glory)! He’s busy too!

The Seven Relics of Omen (七根心简) is adapted from the novel written by Wei Yu.

Synopsis per Youku: In ancient times, a mysterious substance descended upon Fengzi Ridge. Capable of parasitic invasion, it twists the human heart and lures its host into evil. Now, these relics of ill omen have reemerged, unleashing a series of bizarre and gruesome murders. Five ordinary yet passionate young people—Mu Dai, Luo Ren, Thirteen-Thousand, Yan Hongsha, and Cao Yanhua—are successively drawn into this crisis through their own fateful encounters. They form the “Phoenix Squad” and embark on a perilous quest to subdue these ill omens. Amid life-and-death trials, Luo Ren and Mu Dai heal each other’s wounds and forge a genuine bond. Through a long and arduous journey fraught with danger, the five overcome relentless challenges, their friendship tempered and deepened in the fires of adversity.

Airing 6/8~

Liu Xue Yi’s costume drama Love Never Fails swapped female lead to Hu Yi Xuan and secured air date

Aigoo, so many mixed feelings about this drama. 1) I thought it would never air because of Yuan Bing Yan’s tax evasion 2) Hu Yi Xuan filling in the female lead role must not have been easy and I hope she doesn’t get compared and dragged down, I like her quite a bit! 3) Yuan Bing Yan ah, a bright future ahead of you and this is where we end up? T_T 4) In any case, I hope this gains some success/popularity to balance out the efforts spent by the cast and crew on re-filming many, many scenes. 🤞🤞🤞

Per Qiyi: The drama is adapted from Shu Ke’s novel “When Spring Ends, I’ll See You Again” and tells the story of the deity Jin Xiu, who tries to help a camellia spirit, Hong Ning, ascend to immortality. However, a bond lasting a millennium forms between them, and in the end, it is Hong Ning who helps Jin Xiu attain humanity. [You can read my previous post for novel spoilers.]

Airing today 4/28~
