Liu Xue Yi’s costume drama Love Never Fails swapped female lead to Hu Yi Xuan and secured air date

Aigoo, so many mixed feelings about this drama. 1) I thought it would never air because of Yuan Bing Yan’s tax evasion 2) Hu Yi Xuan filling in the female lead role must not have been easy and I hope she doesn’t get compared and dragged down, I like her quite a bit! 3) Yuan Bing Yan ah, a bright future ahead of you and this is where we end up? T_T 4) In any case, I hope this gains some success/popularity to balance out the efforts spent by the cast and crew on re-filming many, many scenes. 🀞🀞🀞

Per Qiyi: The drama is adapted from Shu Ke’s novel β€œWhen Spring Ends, I’ll See You Again” and tells the story of the deity Jin Xiu, who tries to help a camellia spirit, Hong Ning, ascend to immortality. However, a bond lasting a millennium forms between them, and in the end, it is Hong Ning who helps Jin Xiu attain humanity. [You can read my previous post for novel spoilers.]

Airing today 4/28~

Opposite attracts in Love Is Written in the Stars with Qi Yan Di and Ao Rui Peng

This looks adorable. Since young, our female lead has been bed-ridden sick whenever she forms attachments/falls in love, so she guards her heart protectively. However, to protect her brother in Qing Yun Academy, she disguises her a male student to follow him. There she meets the overbearing and arrogant nobleman who despises marriages due to the many failed relationships, leaving him broken-hearted. Aww. Poor lad.

Airing 3/31~

Yuan Bing Yan reunites with Liu Xue Yi in Love Never Fails

Love Never Fails (θ½θŠ±ζ—ΆθŠ‚εˆι€’ε›) is adapted from the novel When Spring Ends, I’ll See You Again by Shu Ke. It’s nice to see second male lead reunited with female lead in a new drama as the male lead. πŸ˜‰ The story follows the journey of our female, a red camellia sprite who falls in love at first sight with the male lead at a Flower Festival. He is not a nobody! He’s one of the greatest gods in heaven. She wants to become his empress and to that request, he tells her to cultivate until she can reach the heavenly/immortal realm. To do that, she enters the human realm to go through a trial. There in the mortal realm, she meets the second male lead, a handsome nobleman who is looking for true love himself. His land oversees the flower field where she’s planted as a Camellia. He wants to renovate the garden and in order to stop him, she turns to her human self at night and begs him not to take away her home. Our second male lead begins to like this strong and independent flower fairy and promises not to ruin her field as long as she comes and hangs with him every night. Even though she confesses to liking someone else, second male lead reaffirms her that it’s okay. His human life doesn’t last long and if he could spend his short years with her, he’s contented, and she can easily go back to the immortal man she’s cultivating for after his death.

Why is that so damn tragically sweet.

Something happens and our second male lead sacrifices himself to save our heroine. She, moved and touched by him, requests the male lead to remove her cultivation thus far and makes her a mortal being, so she can repay second male lead. This begins her ten lifetimes of reincarnation, each one she makes big and small decisions, and bears the results bravely.

Quite like the sound of this female lead from the reviews so far!
