If you told me Liu Yu Ning walked from the set of The Prisoner of Beauty to A Dream Within A Dream, I would believe you. Lol. I was watching episode 1 and the opening scene is so outlandish and hilarious, I thought to give you guys a peek at the ensuing chaos in case you didn’t plan on checking it out. 6 episodes are out and the drama doesn’t stop airing until the end.
Per Qiyi: What would you do if you accidentally found yourself inside the world of a script, playing the role of a tragic female lead used and discarded by the villainous male lead, even tortured to death? For Song Xiaoyu, the answer is obvious: run as far away as possible. She had the perfect escape plan, but reality said otherwise. Every time she tries to change the storyline or marry a supporting male character, she becomes trapped in a never-ending loop full of “bugs,” dying in 108 unique and absurd ways. In short, the game was over for her the moment it began. Eventually, Xiaoyu comes to a painful realization: no matter how hard she tries, the “plot” always pulls her back to the male lead, Nan Heng, forcing her to re-enact the script’s iconic scenes again and again. In this paper-thin world, so many characters are shackled by predestined roles. Some are imprisoned in palace intrigues, others are confined in grand aristocratic mansions. Some are trapped in toxic rivalries among women, while others endlessly pursue power and status. Some yearn for love and freedom but can only dance in fear, bound by invisible chains. Some dream of soaring like mighty birds, only to lose their spirit amid the monotony of daily life. This drama portrays the struggle of ordinary individuals fighting against a fate that was scripted from the very beginning.
LYN joining the 3-drama per year club (After The Prisoner of Beauty and Eternal Brotherhood Season 2). I’m happy to see LYT so pretty in a costume!! Woohoo!
Airing 6/26~
Liu Yu Ning’s The Prisoner of Beauty hasn’t even finished airing yet but his next drama, Eternal Brotherhood Season 2 (紫川·光明王), is already on the rotation to air! I didn’t watch Season 1 so can’t vouch much for its reputation. It looks action-packed though.
Per Qiyi: Season 1 is set in the turbulent land of Zichuan, where the clans of Zichuan and Sairong are engaged in intense warfare. Zichuan Xiu (played by Yang Xuwen), stationed at the border, returns to the capital with remarkable military achievements, bringing a momentary peace to his homeland. However, new challenges arise as Yang Minghua, a prominent court official with sinister intentions, launches a rebellion. Zichuan Xiu, along with his sworn brothers Di Lin (played by Liu Yuning) and Siyi Lin (played by Zhang Ming’en), takes action to eliminate the threat and restore tranquility to Zichuan. Yet, as the dust settles, the aggressive Sairong officially declares war on Zichuan. Amidst the flames of war, the three brothers venture far from their homeland to defend their territory, protect their loved ones, and strive for peace, composing a passionate and magnificent story.
Airing 5/30~
The wait was too long, and the uncertainty of getting aired or not was also tortuous. But it’s here now and I’m so happy! Song Zu Er is part of my harem and I was so looking forward to see her performance. AND SHE DOES NOT DISAPPOINT.
It’s RAINING DRAMAS!! WEEEEEEEE~~ Lol. This is gonna be a hot mess or maybe it’s the best time to be a cdrama fan as all three dramas just confirmed their airing date! Are you watching all three? Or just one? Or two?? My top one is Song Zu Er and Liu Yu Ning’s The Prisoner of Beauty, and if I have time, The Legend of Zang Hai. Have never watched Xiao Zhan in anything and he’s very popular, so I’m curious!
This is gonna be quick and dirty because it’s great being a parent. Even when they got you sick, you still have to wake up and cater to them!!
