Modern War and Military drama The White Olive Tree with Chen Zhe Yuan and Liang Jie to air in February

Per Qiyi: This series is adapted from Jiu Yue Xi’s novel of the same name. During an interview mission in the turbulent East Country, Liang City satellite TV’s female reporter Song Ran (played by Liang Jie) encounters danger. Fortunately, she is rescued by Li Zan (played by Chen Zheyuan), a Chinese explosive engineer who volunteers in the East Country. Li Zan’s gentleness and childlike heart deeply attracts Song Ran. Through multiple interactions with Song Ran, Li Zan also realizes that though she appears weak on the outside, she’s actually brave and strong, with a heart filled with justice and kindness. With the same ideals and compatible souls, a spark of love ignites between the two. However, a sudden bombing attack puts a halt to this nascent relationship. After returning to China, both of them hit low points in their lives and even lose contact with each other. They are both suffering physically and mentally as Li Zan feels guilty and blames himself for the death of his friend who sacrificed his life to save him in the bombing attack, while Song Ran gets into a controversy due to a photo which she took during the bombing attack. By chance, they reunite and their lives gradually return to normal. Together, they plant the seeds of the white olive tree.

Airing 2/1~

Zhou Dong Yu and Lu Han up for movie adaptation of The Youthful You Who Was So Beautiful

Sigh, how come Monday to friday takes so long but Friday to Monday goes by in a flash? My weekend is over and all I did was sleep. Lol. What’s worst is I also lose one hour today! BAHHHHH. But anyway, I digress from the main topic at hand, which is Zhou Dong Yu and Lu Han being rumored for the upcoming film adaptation of Jiu Yue Xi’s novel The Youthful You Who Was So Beautiful. It’s described as a dark novel with bullying as the center theme, how teens react to bullying and ignore the bullied. Our stuttered female lead witnesses the bullying of a popular classmate and clams up in fear of being the next target. The bullied girl decides to commit suicide and the investigation forces our heroine to re-evaluate her stance in the vicious cycle and she builds up the courage to expose the truth. However, with courage comes the wrath of the bullies and our female lead seeks the protection from another brave youngster – our male lead. I can see Zhou Dong Yu nailing her role but pretty Lu Han as the protector is an interesting visual…. he’s just too pretty! xD The production is from the same team behind the successful movie Soul Mate which earned both Zhou Dong Yu and Sandra Ma the title of Best Actress at the 53rd Golden Horse Film Awards. Solid work credits!
