Gong Jun and Qiao Xin clash emotionally in Dream Garden
Well, well, well. Joining the team of psychologists who are running amok (Yang Zi in Psychologist, Zhao Li Ying in Who is the Murderer) in cdramaland is Gong Jun in Dream Garden (沉睡花园). Lol. Our heroine is a popular blogger who gives out relationship advice to her readers. Hoping to improve her ability to analyze emotional problems, she applies to be an assistant to a psychologist (our hero), the same man who irritated her in a prior encounter.

Jing Tian’s revenge plan goes awry with Xu Wei Zhou in City of Streamer
City of Streamer (流光之城) is your classic revenge story taking place in Shanghai with our heroine trying to exact revenge on a powerful family by playing tutor to their wild son. Of course, proximity with a beauty is a breeding ground for love and that’s when a grievance from two decades ago comes back to haunt the two lovers. Jing Tian was born to play characters in republican dramas, her porcelain skin and petite face, she shines in the outfits.
First Impression: What do you think of Tang Yan and Shawn Dou’s The Legend of Xiao Chuo?
This was a little sudden for me. But what isn’t nowadays with them airing dramas within a few days’ notice.
The Legend of Xiao Chuo is based on a novel written by Jiang Sheng Nan, on real historical figures of the Liao Dynasty. Tang Yan will play Xiao Chuo (Chinese Name), who later became a capable Khitan empress after marrying Emperor Jingzong of Liao, and subsequently a regent for her son Emperor Shengzong. She was known for her knowledge of the government and its administration, and a strategic military leader, commanding her own army of 10,000 cavalry. As for Shawn Dou, he will not be playing the emperor….he’s playing Xiao Chuo’s childhood sweetheart, Han De Rang, later a trusted Chinese minister under her rule. This is where I think the novel embellishes on a few things, such as a love affair between our leads, a questionable royal birth, and the eventual burial of the two in the imperial tomb.
Airing today 11/3! Will I be watching? 🤷 I adore Mr. Sunshine but it doesn’t look like his role is meaty at all. Then there’s Charmaine looking beautiful with a knife to her neck. I don’t want to watch them suffer. Tell me what to do!

I was initially excited about this…..but now that I see a longer trailer, I’m not sure how I feel about Mr. SunShine pining after a married woman and being her side piece all drama long.
