Historical drama The Litchi Road with Lei Jia Yin, Yue Yun Peng, and Na Er Na Xi to air in June

The Litchi Road (长安的荔枝) is adapted from the novel written by Ma Bo Yong. Just to clear up some confusion, there’s a movie adaptation of the same novel featuring Da Peng as well (coming out to theaters in July).

Synopsis per Amazon: Li Shande was a petty official in the capital city Chang’an during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang. One day he received a task that he should transport fresh litchi from Guangdong province to Chang’an before the birthday of Lady Yang. Litchi changed in color in one day, and for two days, its fragrance changed and its taste changed when it was kept for three days. But Guangdong was about 2000 kilometers. So it was an impossible mission for Li Shande to accomplish. But for the survival of his family, Li was determined to try his utmost. ‘Even if I fail, I want to know how far I am from the terminal right before I fall,’ he said. This book carries on Ma Boyong’s writing style of tension in time space, which let readers see the ways of survival of small potatoes during the turbulent time and also experienced the passionate striving with painstaking effort. It also has a map for the transportation of the litchi.

All the Feeeeeeeeeeeeels. Taiwanese drama The Prince Who Turns into a Frog was one of my favorite Twdramas growing up and I ship Chen Qiao En and Ming Dao with the burning passion of 10 suns when I was a teenager and well into my adulthood. But since they are adamant as good friends, my heart is satisfied and shall move on. With the exception of the leader of the group, the four members reunited on stage last night to surprise Angel Wang Ou, Ming Dao’s current partner on the show We Are In Love Season 3. They sang two songs from Prince Turned To Frog OST, she also sang and cried her heart out.
