A Movie and Drama Adaptation of the same novel Da Qiao Xiao Qiao by Zhang Yue Ran
Okay, Ya’ll are gonna laugh at me when I tell you this. I was writing two separate posts for each of the adaptation, thinking they have no relations until it clicked today that they are sourced from the same novel! Featuring my lovely girls too! William, you lucky dog! Lol.
In any case, the short novel Da Qiao Xiao Qiao / Big Qiao, Little Qiao (大乔小乔) follows the life of younger sister Xu Yan, who was born during the one-child policy period and hence caused a lot of heartache for the family. She was sent to live with grandma while her parents worked really hard to petition against the punishment of an additional birth; they slowly lost everything and became a joke. Older sister is Qiao Lin and she loves her younger sister. Younger sister, on the other hand, always secretly desires the public life of her sister. Unfortunately, elder sister committed suicide after her boyfriend abandoned her and she left behind a baby in Xu Yan’s care. This is the moment when Xu Yan started to re-evaluate her life.
As always with adaptations, there will be changes. The movie seems to be more dark and atmospheric, playing up the tension between the sisters, while the drama seems to play up the romance aspect (as expected when you have two hot commodities sizzling up the scenes, 😛 )
You can read the short novel at Midnight Scrolls.
Movie: The Unseen Sister (乔妍的心事) with Zhao Li Ying and Xin Zhi Lei.

The Dance of the Storm (风暴舞) is an upcoming suspenseful modern drama starring William Chan and Guli Nazha as the main leads. The story follows our orphaned hero who lost his parents (both were top scientists) at age twelve and was sent to orphanage where he meets his best friend played by actor Guo Jia Hao. As the boys grow up, they are recommended by Chen Gang as new recruits to a security agency. There the boys meet and fall in love with our heroine, played by Guli Nazha. During an operation, our hero’s recklessness causes the death of their father figure, Chen Gang, and he puts himself in charge of finding the main culprit, which leads to many secrets and conspiracies with dangerous organizations behind the security agency. Dun, Dun, Dun!
Airing 4/25!
William may not be the best actor, but doing action scenes while looking good and handsome, he gotsa in spades. Lol.

New stills for Novoland: Pearl Eclipse with Yang Mi and William Chan as the drama wrapped up filming
Another drama wrap-up! Novoland: Pearl Eclipse (九州·斛珠夫人) is adapted from the novel written by Xiao Ru Qin and stars Yang Mi and William Chan. Yang Mi plays daughter of the merfolks and her entire village and people are slaughtered due to the people’s obsession with pearls and pearls were created from merfolk’s tears. During this uncertain period, our heroine is taken in by the hero who is a powerful official of the imperial court, and she disguises as a male disciple by his side. After they return to the capital, the job of guarding the King is given to her. And he’s the third leg of this love triangle. The King has long given up on his court, exhausted by the internal and external turmoils, therefore he sits back and watches our male lead’s struggle to save the country. When he finds out his pretty guard is a girl, his feelings complicate everything.
Yang Mi and William Chan film new fantasy drama Novoland: Pearl Eclipse
Novoland: Pearl Eclipse (九州·斛珠夫人) is adapted from the novel written by Xiao Ru Qin and stars Yang Mi and William Chan. The novel is a bit creepy since he is much older than her, took her in and raised her, then they develop feelings for each other. Plus, he’s a powerful eunuch. BAH. I’m sure the drama will change that up. Lol. Anyway, in the drama she plays daughter of the merfolks and her entire village and people are slaughtered due to the people’s obsession with pearls and pearls were created from merfolk’s tears. During this uncertain period, our heroine is taken in by the hero who is a powerful official of the imperial court, and she disguises as a male disciple by his side. After they return to the capital, the job of guarding the King is given to her. And he’s the third leg of this love triangle.
