Fighting For Love (阿麦从军) is adapted from the novel written by Xian Cheng. It follows the journey of our female lead who tragically lost her family to her childhood sweetheart, forcing her to put on male clothing to protect herself. She then joins the military and quickly rises the ranks due to her accomplishment. Our heroine will meet many men in her disguise; one of them being son of the Crown Princess, and the other is a general from the opposing camp.
To air 1/31~
Whoopsie! This post is nearly 2 weeks late. It was just sitting in my draft section as the airing dramas one after another distracted me. Lol.
The Confidence (阳光之下), which used to be called The Controllers, has undergone a name change and began airing yesterday 12/26! I thought it was just another modern drama sets in a corporation backdrop but the novel is very, very dark. Maybe pitch black? I’m quite horrified at the quick reviews I read from novel readers. Let’s call the dark character played by Peng Guan Ying as the main character and not male lead because he’s not one in my book. His love (??) for the female lead is possessive, obsessive, and just down right bat-crap crazy. Our female lead chances upon three criminals on her way to see her boyfriend and they want to “have fun” with her. She luckily escapes and kills one of them, but the main one gets away and he’s our main character, son of a mafia organization.
He plots his revenge against her, threatening her with her husband’s life if she doesn’t follow his needs. He proceeds to torture and rape her multiple times. O_O In the middle of this horrendous nightmare, our heroine discovers that his right hand man at the company is an undercover cop. She works together with him to gather evidence to take down the psychopath.
Wow-ster.
I’m sure the drama version will cut/change out a lot of the details. I hope. Lol.
Sorry for the lack of updates guys! Hope everyone had a great thanksgiving or week wherever you are. Below are 6 more dramas to add to your list of November premieres. This is not even the end yet… Lol.
