The Chinese remake of Jdrama Shinya Shokudo, which was also based on a Japanese manga series by Yarō Abe has finally let us peek inside its characters and their moving stories. It’s rare to have a modern Cdrama trailer that is this quiet and yet still effective in stirring one’s emotions. The adaptation boasts a solid casting, inviting big names from both Mainland China and Taiwan. For the full list, please visit its previous post here.
Midnight Diner (深夜食堂) is the Chinese remake of Jdrama Shinya Shokudo, which was also based on a Japanese manga series by Yarō Abe. The story follows a mysterious chef and his late night diner open from midnight to dawn, featuring ordinary stories from his patrons every night as they chatter and eat the one requested dish. Various stars from both China and Taiwan will be making an appearance including Mark Zhao, He Jiong, Janine Chang, Hu Bing Qing, etc.
Beside anchoring an air date, Beautiful Secret also releases two songs sang by its OTP. The story follows a gifted singer (Victoria Song) who becomes an overnight sensation. Peter Ho takes the role of a producer, in charge of molding her into the next super star. The heroine is the real daughter of a famous singer but the said singer gave her up twenty years ago, believing that would heal her sick daughter and alleviate the burden of hospital bills. Unfortunately, the girl ran a high fever and lost a section of her childhood memories. She’s then raised by a poor family. I don’t know how to make that anymore original. Dramas always saddle the heroine with a poor family. Can’t she be rich and the guy be dirt poor? Lol.
If you’re reading this post, I should have arrived at New York already! Taking a small break with a few friends before the holidays. Have a nice weekend everyone! ^__^
Braveness of the Ming is the drama adaptation of the novel Silk Night written by Yue Guan. With the time-traveling element removed thanks to you-know-who, the story now follows Xia Xun (Zhang Han), a regular citizen as he transforms from a fish monger to a royal guard and assists Zhu Di in ascending the throne and becoming the third Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
In the end, the time-travel aspect of the novel isn’t a problem because he time-travels to the past and stays there. The drama adaptation, Braveness of the Ming, featuring Zhang Han and Park Min Young, easily took that modern part out. So no more time-traveling hijinks (not like we need to see them unfold for the Nth time) and now everyone is happy…including SARFT because Miss B needs to be kept happy at all times for the world of Cdramas to function. =P The first character stills are pleasing to the eyes. I think everyone looks great!
Being away for 7 days, I guess it is only appropriate to do another batch of entertainment news to catch up with the never-ending showbiz kazooka. As always, you can click on the tag of the drama/actor at the end of the post to see more written related posts of the subject.
