Costume drama Pull Strings with Ao Rui Peng and Sun Zhen Ni wrapped up filming

Pull Strings (师兄太稳健) is adapted from the novel written by Yan Gui Zheng Zhuan. You can read the novel here.

The story follows our male lead who was reborn into the ancient times and tries his best to live as long as possible as a cultivator. He doesn’t want to get entangled and hence always thinks twice about everything, which of course leads him into humorous troublesome situations. A male lead who always has backup plans of plans. Lol. His peaceful life is disrupted when his master accepts a junior sister! Sounds like a mine for comedy.

Li Qin and Zeng Shun Xi experience a wintry romance in Snowy Night: Timeless Love

Snowy Night: Timeless Love is adapted from the novel Seven Nights Snow (七夜雪) written by Cang Yue. The story involves four main characters and the seven days of heavy snowfall, most importantly is the last night. Our hero is a swordsman – and from one reviewer – he’s lovesick and not strong mentally, often “late” resulting in many regrets (ahum). Joseph said he has a lot of fighting scenes in this drama. He was in love with another woman but watched with his own eyes as she married another man and now spent years of his life seeking medicine to treat the woman’s child. That journey leads him to meet our female lead, master of the medicine valley, who has her own rules when treating; 10 people a year + costly payments. Her past is tragic as her family of royal physicians were framed and she luckily escaped the sentence, but she’s fraught with guilt and a frail body, hence she doesn’t leave the valley.

Airing 10/9!

I’m excited! I’m excited! *PLEASEBEGOODPLEASEBEGOOD*

Lighter and Princess with Chen Fei Yu and Zhang Jing Yi to premiere in November

Lighter & Princess (点燃我温暖你) is adapted from the novel written by Twentine. It is a story about the passions of youth and the cruelty of time and people’s hearts. On the outside, our female lead, Zhu Yun is your typical poster child of a well-behaved, obedient student. She grew up under the strict supervision of her parents and strives to do well in school as to not disappoint them. But deep down, Zhu Yun is secretly rebellious and has quite the sarcastic tongue. She would have followed her parents’ set path for her had she not met the outwardly rebellious male lead, Li Xun, who attracts her attention on their first day of school with his bright golden hair and devil-may-care attitude. He’s loud about his lawless ways and even if Zhu Yun curses him under her breath, she can’t help but slowly falls for his hidden intelligence and talents. He has her wrapped around his fingers for sure. 😛 She believes in him and stays by his side through all their ups and downs, even during and after the separation arc (6 years).

Aww our boy is growing up so fast! Ever Night was one of the two dramas I finished 2 years ago. Lol.

You can read the unfinished translated novel here.

Airing 11/3!

Li Yi Tong and Jin Han begin filming for Ding Mo’s My Deepest Dream (The Dark Clouds Meet The Bright Moon)

My Deepest Dream (乌云遇皎月) is an upcoming modern drama adapted from the sci-fi novel written by Ding Mo starring Li Yi Tong and Jin Han. The storyline is quite complicated so I’ll try to simplify it….I hope. XD Our leads first meet on a cruise and at the time; he was a mathematics graduate, described as wise, clean, and sharp, and she was a web writer. They speak briefly but the conversation is enough for them to feel the attraction. But due to a minor misunderstanding, she leaves the cruise feeling unhappy. A year later, they meet for the second time and now he’s transformed completely, he’s a broody repairman. Though she does not recognize him, he still manages to attract her. What has happened in a span of a year for a man to change that much? They thought leaving the cruise a year ago meant their path has ended, but it’s quite the opposite. Apparently, the cruise they were on had an accident and the people on the cruise went missing for a time period. They were later rescued and compensated by the travel agency but there’s one caveat – the passengers can’t remember what happened during their time on the cruise. (I don’t know what this means?)

So what happened to our male lead during the one year period? His sister was brutally murdered by a serial killer and his mother eventually passed away due to heartache. He leaves everything behind him, armed with a passion to find the killer. He settles down as a repairman as it’s the only place of peace for him. Ah, I think I kinda get the story now. He time-travels to the past to find the killer before he kills his sister. Along the way, he and female lead get involved with many cases. He’s the dark clouds and she’s the bright moon shining over him.

Ok, did I fail? Anyone who has read the novel and has a better understanding of the timeline, feel free to help/correct me. Lol.
