Liu Shi Shi carefully plots revenge in Kill My Sins while Shawn Dou takes advantage to rise in power

Kill My Sins (掌心) is a female-centric revenge costume drama.

Synopsis Per Youku: The story follows Ye Ping’an (played by Liu Shishi), a heart doctor who arrives in Shengdu to investigate an old case. Rumors spread that she manipulates hearts and minds, earning her the title of “witch.” When a sudden murder occurs, she’s accused of the crime. Yuan Shaocheng (played by Dou Xiao), an ambitious official, realizes there’s more to the case yet still seeks to have her executed. But Ye Ping’an has already made her first move on the path to vengeance.

Airing 2/7~

Mr. 1,000 Watts Smile is back but his smile is not seen in the intense trailer at all. Same goes for Shi Shi. Will this be my first 2025 drama?

First Character Posters for Love Like The Galaxy with Wu Lei and Zhao Lu Si

Love Like The Galaxy (星汉灿烂) is adapted from the novel written by Guan Xin Ze Luan (the same author for The Story of Ming Lan). There’s a time-traveling element in the novel which I’m sure will be changed. Our heroine in the modern world grew up in a divorced family; she lives with her grandma, making her quite wild and unruly, she does what she wants. On chance, she time-travels to the past and becomes the youngest daughter of a General’s family. Due to war, her parents are constantly in battle, bringing along her three older brothers for years, leaving her behind with her grandma. When they finally return, years of estrangement creeps in but her father and brothers dote on her. Except for her mother, who is extremely strict with her and our girl fans the fire by fighting right back. Despite mom being a tough lady, going to war, etc, she expects the opposite of her daughter – to be gentle, to be well-read (actually, she just can’t read ancient Chinese because she’s from the modern world), to be graceful. Since she’s of marriage age when they return, they become concerned that their daughter’s personality doesn’t fit in with the rich, high-ranking sons of officials, so they think it’s safer to settle for a low-ranking family. However, their troublesome daughter repeatedly meets with several high-ranking men, getting engaged and breaking the engagement several times.

The girls share almost the same hairstyle…. Hmmm.
