Hou Ming Hao’s historical drama Glory with Gu Li Na Zha also joins December broadcast

Glory (玉茗茶骨) is an upcoming historical drama following the ups and downs of our couple.

Synopsis Per Viki: Newly-appointed magistrate Lu Jiang Lai (Hou Ming Hao) is making a name for himself by solving crimes… until he’s unexpectedly framed for a cold-case murder. Left for dead and without his memories, he’s rescued by Rong Shan Bao (Gulnezer Bextiyar), the shrewd daughter of a renowned tea cultivator. She conceals his true identity and allows him to work as the family’s stable boy, in part to get revenge due to a previous dispute between Jiang Lai and her family. However, when Shan Bao’s family tries to find her a husband, Jiang Lai is unexpectedly drawn into Shan Bao’s fierce struggle for power. Can Jiang Lai and Shan Bao find a way to help each other out – and will their constant battle of wits lead to something more?

Airing 12/29~

First Impression: The Journey of Legend Episode 1 – 8

If you had asked me at the start of 2025 what my top 3 most anticipated Cdramas would be, I would have told you it’s Journey of Legend, Immortal Ascension, and Dark River. Immortal Ascension came and gone. (It was fun, read my review here) Now here comes The Journey of Legend. I still say they should keep the title as ‘To The Mountain and Seas‘, it’s just cooler. Because the Jianghu is the Rivers and Lakes, so To The Mountain and Seas would be fitting. But at last, we ended up with a typical title.

Never mind that, after what felt like the longest wait ever, it’s finally here! And with it, my early impression review.

After years of hemming and hawing, Cheng Yi’s The Journey of Legend finally gets an airdate

Okay, I exaggerated in the post title, but you guys get what I mean right? I feel very fortunate at the moment because I have a new drama to watch on the heel of wrapping up Moonlit Reunion (I’m in the last 3 episodes!) Woooohoooo!! <3<3<3 And I’m so excited to see some TVB actors back in the 90s and 2000s starring as some of the wuxia masters! A great callback to the time when they were the young wuxia heroes.

The Journey of Legend (赴山海) is adapted from the novel Shen Zhou Qi Xia written by Wen Rui An.

Per Qiyi: It tells the story of Xiao Mingming, an ardent fan of martial arts novels and a mediocre man hit by the cruel reality. He travels across the martial world through the perspective of Xiao Qiushui, the protagonist of his novel, growing from a young impulsive swordsman with subpar skills to a reliable and emotionally-open hero who protects his family and country. Since then, Xiao Mingming never forgets to keep writing in his spare time, continuously conveying the belief that people’s hearts are united by righteousness through his novels.

Airing 9/11~
