First Impression: Fated Hearts Episode 1-17 “Nobody dies from an arrow to the chest.”

I was sick this past week and decided to pick up a drama and boy was this a wild ride. However, I am enjoying this immensely. It doesn’t do anything to annoy me which is a huge plus because I get ticked off pretty easily. The plot moves along swiftly and there’s always something going on. It doesn’t dumb down or weaken my female general to let the male lead shine; as a matter of fact, she has had several intense fights even with an injured arm and held her own! I like that in my girls. Male lead comes in to reap the benefits but I feel that is a choice on his part. Heh.

Princess Agents’ Sequel Rebirth with Li Yun Rui, Huang Yang Tian Tian, and Zhang Kang Le drops first trailer

Rebirth (冰湖重生) is the sequel to the popular 2017 drama Princess Agents with Zhao Li Ying, Lin Geng Xin, and Shawn Dou. It’s adapted from the novel written by Xiao Xiang Dong Er. The sequel looks to follow what happened in the last episode of the prequel, after Zhuge Yue fell into the ice lake and our female lead is gonna take revenge at Yan Xun.

It’s nice to have Huang Yang Tian Tian reprised her role as Chu Qiao, as she was the younger version of Li Ying’s character in 2017. However, she’s also only 17 at the moment. The aesthetic looks better in this one for sure, since the original is quite colorful despite the dark contents.

To Fly With You with Song Zu Er and Wang An Yu to air

To Fly With You (陪你逐风飞翔) is an upcoming drama about ice-skating!

Synopsis from Viki: Shen Zheng Yi (Song Zu Er) is a young female student with a passion for ice skating. She dreams of becoming a champion short-track speed skater, but as she has never trained in the sport, she knows she is already behind where she should be if she is ever to become a champion at the highly demanding sport. Her mother is also bitterly opposed to her taking up the sport. So Shen Zheng Yi decides to defy her mother and join an ice skating club anyway. She finds herself under the wing of a promising figure skater named Zhuang Yue (Wang An Yu).

Training with Zhuang Yue is no picnic, and learning how to perform on the short track is both physically and mentally grueling. But as she slowly builds up her confidence, both Shen Zheng Yi and her coach begin to understand that she might just have the grit, determination, and skill she needs to succeed at the highest level. Her passion also inspires Zhuang Yue to overcome his own demons on the ice rink…and the two start to develop deeper emotions for one another. But with a key competition on the horizon and her mother still hoping to thwart Shen Zheng Yi’s sporting plans, will her ice-skating dreams of victory ever come true?

This sounds like Skate Into Love… I do like the cast of both dramas though. 😛
