Swords into Plowshares (太平年) follows the life of Qian Hong Chu, the last king of Wuyue during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period of China. He was known for the peaceful surrender to Northern Song dynasty, resulting in his regions/structures/economy being spared from the destruction of wars (hence the metaphorical drama title).

Hope everyone had a peaceful Lunar New Year! I was busy taking a recovering-from-multiple-viruses toddler to visit the relatives. You really don’t know how life will change with kids until it hits you in the face point-blank. Haven’t had time to browse the web much! Both dramas finished filming this past week and I’m intrigued seeing Bai Yu in historical costumes! I have a soft spot for this man. <3
