I haven’t said this line in a while but I almost lost an eyeball trying to compile this post. Lol. I guess Qiyi has the majority of my interested dramas. Hope ya’ll find this helpful. I tried to include as much as possible but will eliminate non-human/concept posters for my sanity. If I missed anything, feel free to help me out in the comments! XD
Happy scrolling!
The First Frost (难哄) is adapted from the novel written by Zhu Yi and if you remember, it’s the spinoff to Zhao Lu Si’s Hidden Love. This is her brother (Sang Yan)’s story. He is now the owner of a bar and chances upon an old classmate who had crush on him back in high school. Our female lead is a reporter and even though she realizes who he is, she pretends not to know him – and he does the same thing. Something happens and they end up being housemates. Lol.Shi Cheng
Looks kinda angsty here!
I haven’t done this in a while and I quickly remember why not. LOL.
FYI, I only included dramas that are generous in releasing a trailer! A few posters? Nah. xD
Which dramas have your interest?
Synopsis from Viki: Beautiful women from all over what is now China have traveled from their hometowns to the Xinchuan court for a special event: The ruling family will decide which of these young women has what it takes to marry the six male heirs of the family. Among this collection of women is Li Wei (Tian Xi Wei). She is an unassuming, unpretentious, and somewhat culturally awkward individual who has little interest in this “contest.” She would prefer to get on with her life and live a quiet, peaceful life in her hometown.
But, to her surprise, she is selected to marry one of the young heirs – Yin Zheng (Bai Jing Ting). A quiet, gentle, intelligent, and somewhat introverted young man, he is arguably the least-favored among the heirs. As such, his marriage is a mere afterthought to the Xinchuan rulers. They shunt him to the fringes of the court and charge him with menial tasks. At first, this union appears doomed. But after they start to get to know each other, Yin Zheng and Li Wei begin to form a close bond. Could their slowly growing romance help them form a relationship that could help them improve the lives of the ordinary folk of the realm?
Airing 11/10~
Something about Tian Xi Wei just screams freakin’ adorable to me!
Reset (开端) is based on the mystery-thriller novel written by Qi Dao Jun. It follows a group of people on a bus with an eventual explosion happening. Every passenger on the bus has their own story, difficulties as they board the bus of doom (my translation). As our two leading characters experience life, trauma, and death together, they begin to appreciate the meaning of life. But before they can meaningfully act on their self-growth, they must find out the truth and break the cycle of time to stop the explosion.
Airing 1/11 with a total of 15 episodes~
Bai Jing Ting has been picking good projects lately and I like what I see of Miss Zhao in The Blessed Girl.
Octogenarians and the 90s (八零九零) is a modern drama described as warm and healing. Our heroine inherits Sunshine House – a nursing home, after her mother passed away from liver cancer. She, along with our male lead (Bai Jing Ting), are post 90s adults, and their enthusiasm and energy inject much needed vitality into the elders’ lives, however, conflicts between the two generations also threaten old values and customs. As they collide, touching stories of the past change the behaviors and perspectives of both sides. When the nursing home is demolished, our heroine takes it upon herself to rebuild a new community, focusing on elders diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, giving them the freedom and peace to live in their favorite years of the past.
Airing 4/21~ If done right, this drama will be a tear-jerker!
You Are My Hero (你是我的城池营垒) is an upcoming tencent drama starring Ma Si Chun and Bai Jing Ting. She’s a MD resident and he’s a policeman. They step on each other’s toes during a emergency drill between the hospital and police academy. But having worked together day after day forces the two individuals to see each other in a new light. When an earthquake strikes and the two are sent to offer help/rescue those stranded, they are touched by each other’s bravery and kindness in dire situations.
