Zhang Ling He and Wang Chu Ran begin filming for republican drama Overdo

Overdo (这一秒过火) is adapted from the novel written Fei Wo Si Cun. Looks like beside borrowing the male and female lead’s names, the story has been changed significantly enough that novel fans call this almost like an original script. Lol. I guess that could be a good thing since the author FWSC is called a stepmother in the novel world for a reason. It follows the ups and downs of our couple. In Shanghai, two families of warlords (Murong and Li) are at odds and they accidentally take the wrong child home. While the Li son is doted on, our male lead, the second son of the Murong family, grows up abused by the Li family. When the mistaken identity is revealed, teenage male lead tries to escape but is thrown overboard and saved by our female lead. However, that ends in her family’s demise. When the two meet again, an accident happens and our FL fakes her death under his own hands. Our male lead then sinks into despair for three years, unable to sleep or forget about her, until they meet again (!!) and she’s introduced as his brother’s future bride. Dun, Dun, Dun! Secrets of the past crawl back to haunt them with bigger enemies lining the present, what’s gonna happen to our couple?

What an insane level of visual in this OTP! Wang Chu Ran has the advantage of looking like a classic beauty with a gentle coldness simmering underneath so I’m excited to see how she brings forth the fire of her intelligent and cunning character. As for Zhang Ling He, what is new. He’s been a gorgeous specimen since the beginning and now ya’ll gonna make him wear a uniform in a republican drama? My, my, my! 😍😍😍

Upcoming dramas release New Trailers at the Tencent Video 2025 Preview Party

Just a reminder, I only included trailers since I will be including the posters in their individual posts in the future, no need to repeat for more work. Tencent has a lot of drama I’m keeping my eyes on for sure. Lol. The videos may take a few extra seconds to load since Tencent youtube sucks by not uploading anything and therefore I had to use mostly twitter for videos.

Fangs of Fortune with Hou Ming Hao, Chen Du Ling, and Cheng Xiao begins airing

Previously known as The Story of Mystics, Fangs of Fortune (大梦归离) is adapted from the tales and myths in Classic of Mountains and Seas.

The story per Qiyi: The story narrates a magnificent legend where “demons capture demons.” During the Zhenyuan era, due to the accidental death of the Bai Ze goddess, who governed the realms of humans and demons, the Bai Ze Order goes missing, leading to rampant demon beasts causing chaos and numerous bloody murders in the human world. At this time, the leader of all demons, “Zhu Yan,” disguised as Zhao Yuanzhou (played by Hou Minghao), volunteers to “surrender” and proposes to help the imperial court form a demon-hunting bureau to quell the chaos. Wen Xiao (played by Chen Duling), wary and suspicious of Zhao Yuanzhou, joins the demon-hunting bureau along with her childhood friend and consul of the bureau, Zhuo Yichen (played by Tian Jiarui), who is adept in both detective work and swordsmanship; the cool and detached archer Pei Sijing (played by Cheng Xiao), formerly of the martial camp; and the young, talented, but timid doctor Bai Jiu (played by Lin Ziye). Together, they form a demon-hunting team, confronting the demon beasts recorded in “The Classic of Mountains and Seas.” As they solve cases, they gradually uncover the brutal truth behind the malicious acts of the demon beasts. Faced with a great responsibility and the loss of loved ones to dust, can the indestructible friendship of the demon-hunting team and the love between the top demon beast and the goddess break through this dilemma?

Airing 10/26~

Go to the Mountains and Sea with Cheng Yi and Guli Nazha wraps up filming

Go to the Mountains and Sea (赴山海) wrapped up filming a few days ago and has dropped quite a bulk of posters/stills and a wrap-up special video. If you were like me following the promos, I’m happy to report that this drama…..has other characters! LOL.

In any case, it’s adapted from the novel written by Wen Rui An and follows our modern man who loves wuxia novels and finds himself a young protagonist in the wuxia world, learning fighting skills and eventually becoming a hero in his own right, fueled by righteousness and loyalty for his people and country.

First Official Posters for Fangs of Fortune with Hou Ming Hao, Chen Du Ling, and Cheng Xiao as filming wraps up

Previously known as The Story of Mystics, Fangs of Fortune (大梦归离) is adapted from the tales and myths in Classic of Mountains and Seas. Neo will be playing a demon lord Ying Long, which I’m gonna guess is modeled after the mythical dragon in control of rain and floods. He wants to die but doesn’t want to accept fate so is led down the path of rebirth.

The visual in this drama is pretty-pretty but it’s their BTS chemistry that is worth mentioning; dancing, singing, and playing around with Guo Jing Ming (one of the directors) too. They had a blast when it first snowed at Hengdian.
