Air date announced for Liu Shi Shi and Zhang Yun Long’s Fox Spirit Matchmaker 2: Love in Pavilion
First up: Fox Spirit Matchmaker 2: Love in Pavilion (狐妖小红娘竹业篇) can be watched as a standalone drama. You do not need to watch the supposedly first installment Red-Moon Pact with Yang Mi and Gong Jun.
Synopsis Per Qiyi: It tells the story of Dongfang Huaizhu (played by Liu Shishi) and Wangquan Hongye (played by Zhang Yunlong), the leaders of two major families, the Dongfangs and the Wangquans. In a time when humans and demons are in conflict, they work together to stabilize the situation in order to revive the Unity Alliance. On the seventh day of the seventh month, at the Bamboo Pavilion by the Huai River, their fates intertwine like the sheaths of two swords, never to be separated. They pick up the most heartwarming promise and tell a story that has endured for generations. Leading the transformation of the popular Chinese comic “Fox Spirit Matchmaker” into a live-action series, this installment, “The Zhu Ye Arc,” contributes to the creation of the Eastern Fantasy Universe.

Leaked images of Heaven Official’s Blessing as Zhang Ling He and Zhai Xiao Wen begin filming
Heaven Official’s Blessing (天官赐福) is an upcoming ancient drama adapted from the novel written by Mo Xiang Tong Xiu (The Untamed). Our two male leads have quite the history. The story begins 800 years ago, one of our male leads is Xie Lian (Zhai Xiao Wen), a beloved Crown Prince from Xian Le kingdom who has a grand wish of helping the common people. A child prodigy, he’s given a chance to ascend heaven at age 17, but is unfortunately demoted back to the mortal realm due to some unforeseen circumstances (bad decision, good intentions). He never gives up, that is his saving grace trait. Though he lives in poverty and has to work every job possible, he perseveres for his belief in helping people. He’s once again allowed back to Heaven, just to be banished a moment later (lol, this poor kid). 800 Years later, he’s given another chance to ascend heaven but isn’t very well-received. His first task is to kill ghosts in the mortal realm and this is when he meets the other male lead, Leader of Ghost City (Zhang Ling He). Unbeknownst to our Prince, Leader of Ghost City has been harboring a crush on him for 800 years. Turns out, the Crown Prince saved the boy during his first ascension. The lightning bolt of love hit then and it looks like a deep one.
I can see why some fans are upset with the styling, it’s the same hairstyle in the manhua for Zhai Xiao Wen but I don’t think the style fits his face well. Zhang Ling He is gorgeous to look at and his red clothes reminds me of Zhan Zhao. Lol. Since it’s still the early stages of filming/testing out costumes/hair, let’s relax and see how they will alter the details going forward!
