Ancient Costume Comedy drama Go East with Tan Jian Ci, Zhou Yi Ran, Kan Qing Zi, and Du Chun

Synopsis per Qiyi: It narrates the story of four determined individuals – Yuan Mo, A Shu, Wang Kunwu, and Yuchi hua – who, driven by ideals, bravely embark on a journey for their nation and justice. During the peaceful years of the Daming Dynasty, Yuan Mo (Tan Jianci), a commoner from Changle City, stands at the city gates issuing permits to foreign visitors, using the Four Square Pavilion’s seal. Unexpectedly, he encounters A Shu (Zhou Yiran), a refugee from Yanle Kingdom trying to sneak into the city, which leads to an altercation. This results in the newly arrived border general Wang Kunwu (Du Chun) being punished by overseeing duties at the Four Square Pavilion. As a consequence, Yuan Mo is inadvertently pulled into the affairs of the Four Square Pavilion’s western office, overseen by Yu De Shui. He becomes a minor official handling various international affairs. Through a series of serendipitous events, A Shu becomes Yuan Mo’s “little maidservant,” Wang Kunwu becomes his superior, and the formidable Yuchi hua (Kan Qingzi), a noblewoman with power, joins the mix. Mocked as a “useless” member of the western office, Yuan Mo matures as he navigates through challenging diplomatic matters.

Chinese remake of Kdrama Signal led by Li Xiao Ran, Du Chun, and Wang Tian Chen

Unknown Number (时空来电) is the Chinese remake of Kdrama Signal starring Li Xiao Ran, Du Chun, and Wang Tian Chen. I haven’t watched the original but have heard of numerous praises for the plot and acting caliber of the original cast. Of the Chinese cast, Wang Tian Chen is the most green and you might remember him in General and I, The Way We Were and or Tang Dynasty Tour. Either way, he has a big shoes to follow Lee Jae Hoon’s performance. The original was inspired by a true incident and that involves a serial rapist and murderer. The story follows police lieutenant played by Wang as he tries to investigate the death of his childhood’s friend that was left unsolved for years. He’s aided when he discovers a walkie-talkie and the man talking to him through the phone is the detective from the past (literally) trying to solve the case. Now I want to watch the original. Sounds like a TVB drama too!

Unknown Number begins airing tonight 10/23!
