Officially older today! I feel the same as always. Tired! Funny how as you get older, birthdays become less of a big deal (duh, more wrinkles and white hair!!). I don’t even celebrate them anymore. My sweet, bubbly mom buys me a box of lobster and I’m good. Happy Birthday to all ya’ll November babies out there! Remember, live in the moment! 🙂
So I’ve been contemplating whether or not to post this piece of floating news and I’ve decided that speculations are fun (=P). The list of invited cast appears in a manual of possible future investments. So take it with a grain of salt because my (our) girl is kinda booked until June of next year and some of the actors have expressed not knowing about the possible remake. However, with the horrendous remake of Huan Zhu Ge Ge (Princess Pearls) in 2011, anything is possible! For those who are fairly new to Cdramas, Romance In The Rain is the drama adaptation of Qiong Yao’s novel Romance in The Rain in 2001 (there are older adaptations but not my cup of wine). It starred three breakout stars from her previous smashing hits, Princess Pearls in 1998-1999. The story follows the ups and downs of Lu Zhen Hua, a retired general, and his family in Shanghai as the complications of having nine wives and many kids unfold in a melodramatic way. While he has many kids, one is bound to stand out and she is our protagonist; the daughter who shares his volatile personality – Lu Yi Ping.
Step aside summer king of dramaland, Hawick Lau! The new man this fall is here! Hu Ge has three dramas airing back-to-back, each in a different setting and time period. In August, his republican drama, The Disguiser, aired. In September, his highly anticipated ancient drama, Nirvana in Fire, will air on September 19th, and lastly, his modern drama, Good Time, just got the green light to hit the small screen on October 16th!
This is just a mini version of my usual long C-news post…. much shorter… -snickers-
With the majority of shelved dramas getting a slot within the next six months, we have on our hands, a whole lot of casting news. From movies to dramas to variety shows.
