The drama offerings for May! Which will you watch?

Sorry for another delayed post. Got hitched with the stomach flu. Headaches, vomiting, nauseous, diarrhea, the full package to ruin my weekend. >.< Don’t know why I like to tell you guys these small happenings in my life, they are not cute. Lol.

If you’re a fan of Chen Kun, this drama is for you. If you need convincing, check out the latest teaser! It’s hilarious as we see Chen Kun having fun playing dual roles (bros), one is a nerdy, straight-laced bespectacled man, the other is a street-smart lad! Female lead is Wan Qian (she’s everywhere nowadays!) and she plays a spy disguised as a female accountant with a secret mission to protect someone important. She meets Older brother after accidentally exchanging suitcases at the train station and becomes acquaintance with him. She later finds out his younger twin brother is an important figure to protect. In times of chaos and war, could the three find true value in the meaning of love, life, and faith?

Previously known as The Escapee (脱身), and now Escape or The Double, this is Chen Kun‘s first drama comeback, before Rise of the Phoenixes. The new spy drama is an original work which is reported to have been polished for a number of years. Chen Kun plays dual roles (brothers) hence the new English name makes sense. heh. Wan Qian plays a spy disguised as a female accountant with a secret mission to protect someone important. She meets Older brother after accidentally exchanging suitcases at the train station and becomes acquaintance with him. She later finds out his younger twin brother is an important figure to protect. In times of chaos and war, could the three find true value in the meaning of love, life, and faith?

Casting calls! These two dramas definitely fit the bill of being highly anticipated. The leads have been chosen but we also need a solid supporting cast!

Chen Kun left the small screen for nine whopping years?! That seems to be the route most actors of the 90s and 2000s took on after they made a name for themselves. Who would want to return to the long shooting and hectic schedule of tv filming? Anyway, he is now back with original spy drama, The Escapee (脱身者), whose script is said to have been polished for a number of years. They expect a rise in TV series quality with the return of Chen Kun. Lol? What kind of expectation is that to place on an actor?! His rumored leading lady is Li Xiao Ran (Sparrow) and he has worked with her before. I’m hoping for a new pairing! Just don’t place him next to someone 20 years younger (he’s 40?!!). Lol.
