Synopsis per Qiyi: It narrates the story of four determined individuals – Yuan Mo, A Shu, Wang Kunwu, and Yuchi hua – who, driven by ideals, bravely embark on a journey for their nation and justice. During the peaceful years of the Daming Dynasty, Yuan Mo (Tan Jianci), a commoner from Changle City, stands at the city gates issuing permits to foreign visitors, using the Four Square Pavilion’s seal. Unexpectedly, he encounters A Shu (Zhou Yiran), a refugee from Yanle Kingdom trying to sneak into the city, which leads to an altercation. This results in the newly arrived border general Wang Kunwu (Du Chun) being punished by overseeing duties at the Four Square Pavilion. As a consequence, Yuan Mo is inadvertently pulled into the affairs of the Four Square Pavilion’s western office, overseen by Yu De Shui. He becomes a minor official handling various international affairs. Through a series of serendipitous events, A Shu becomes Yuan Mo’s “little maidservant,” Wang Kunwu becomes his superior, and the formidable Yuchi hua (Kan Qingzi), a noblewoman with power, joins the mix. Mocked as a “useless” member of the western office, Yuan Mo matures as he navigates through challenging diplomatic matters.
Airing 8/23~
Looks like a fun ensemble type of drama!
Sorry, was away for a few days and we have a lot of dramas on our hands. Here’s a quick rundown of what aired this past week. Tomorrow is a new week. Lol.
Let’s see. My last post of this drama was in 2015! 😱
And what a time to announce its broadcasting date, with a drama title like that in a time like this. 👀
Guys With Kids (奶爸当家) stars Bosco Wong, Luo Yun Xi, and Liu Guan Xiang as a group of single men living together. Our main hero, plays by Bosco, recently lost the custody for his daughter. Then his first love died in a car accident and wanted her surviving infant son to be given to him. He also needs to find the baby’s daddy in the mean time. What ensues is a hilarious showcase of love and connection in a makeshift family. The three dads with three distinct personalities. Bosco is the nerdy, doormat dad, Luo Yun Xi is the hot-headed young daddy, and Liu Guan Xiang is the athletic and sensitive dad.
Airing 1/22 ~
I did not expect that in my lifetime there would be a global pandemic happening. It is – still is, very tough. Working in a major hospital, I was very fortunate to have a job through Covid but there were definitely some selfish moments where I just wanted to stay home and stay away from the hospital, where protocols and procedures keep changing every single day as we learned more things about the virus. Colleagues falling sick and hospital dispatching some of us to different areas, sometimes unrelated to our job; some smaller hospitals were sending my co-workers to work at the morgue. >.<”
I don’t know what to expect from these dramas but maybe all we need is a little thing called hope to keep us moving forward. Having this blog and some of you guys to chat with has always been the anchor of my sanity. So thank-you for that! Stay healthy, stay informed, stay connected, and stay calm! We are in this together.
