And the last compiled post for me! I won’t be doing these posts in the future because it’s too time-consuming and usually by the time I put the post up, most have seen the trailers on other platforms. No point in me rehashing another version. As always, I only included dramas with trailers since the stills will be in their individual post.
For those new to this routine, each streaming platform (tencent, mango, youku, iqiyi, etc) has a few conferences each year to showcase their upcoming dramas, roping in potential advertisements and interest.

The amount of trio-dramas from the same actor this year is insane! I think if you’re gonna drop three dramas in a year, make sure it’s different genre and flavors! You don’t want your roles to melt together.
Is there a surplus of female generals running around? Cheng Lei has two to juggle (also romancing Zhou Ye in Legend of Female General)! Lol.
