Meng Zi Yi and He Yu begin filming for historical drama Blossoms of Power
Another Blossom?! 😛 😛 😛
Blossoms of Power (百花杀) is adapted from the novel The Imperial Song – After I Bloom, A Hundred Flowers Die written by Jin Huang. The novel unfortunately only has 2 chapters translated so far by Celestial-dreamer.
This looks to be our leads’ third collaboration! He Yu played the younger version of the Emperor in Blossom and they also played a couple in The Legend of Heroes 2024. Another surprising face in the cast is the return of Jeremy Tsui who took a year-long break from showbiz and announced his comeback September of last year.
The story sounds interesting. DO NOT READ FURTHER IF YOU DON’T WANT NOVEL SPOILERS. THE DRAMA WILL LIKELY CHANGE MANY THINGS, though. It’s a palace drama with lots of princes and scheming. Our male lead is an ailing crown prince who’s been poisoned since he was young so he spends his days pretending to be really frail although he practices martial arts (heh). He is described as scheming, cold-blooded, and manipulative. Our female lead, in her previous life, was married to the previous Crown Prince (second male lead), but committed suicide after the execution of her whole family under his supervision, forced by the Emperor (yikes!). Her soul enters the body of a general’s daughter. She’s later sent by her father to the capital to find a royal husband – our male lead. She’s equally cunning and cold.
Ancient Detective drama Guardians of the Dafeng with Wang He Di and Tian Xi Wei confirms December broadcast
Guardians of the Dafeng (大奉打更人) is adapted from the novel The Nightwatchers of Feng written by Mai Bao Xiao Lang Jun. Dylan plays a modern day policeman who transmigrated back in time and into the body of a constable of Dafeng city, who at the time is in prison, waiting to be exiled, thanks to his uncle’s huge loss of silver. Using his deduction and reasoning skills, he manages to solve the case and find the culprit. And thus begins his journey of investigating and solving mysterious crimes in the vast city. In the novel, our male lead has plenty of attention from the ladies but the drama adaptation seems to have changed that slightly by pinpointing Tian Xi Wei as his main love interest. She plays a proud and rebellious princess Lin An.
