Ren Jia Lun is back on your small screen with Autumn Cicada (秋蝉)! He stations himself in Hong Kong for the establishment of a military base and an intelligence agency. Then he becomes a spy to collect information from the Japanese. When his two identities clashed and he’s captured, he escapes death with the help of the woman he loves, played by Li Man (after Ying Er bowed out due to pregnancy? I can’t remember the timeline.)
Airing 5/4!
Manhunt (追捕) is an upcoming thriller movie that is directed by John Woo as a way to commemorate late Japanese actor Ken Takakura, who starred in the original in 1976, which was also based on Japanese novel Kimi yo Fundo no Kawa o Watare by Juko Nishimura. The new remake follows the same story setup with Zhang Han Yu as a prosecutor who is framed for robbery and multiple murders and on the run. He’s chased by Japanese actor Masaharu Fukuyama, who plays a detective. Female cast includes Qi Wei and Korean actress Ha Ji Won. Plenty of reasons to catch this one!
Peace In Palace Peace In Chang’An (天下长安) is a new historical drama featuring the reunion between Qin Jun Jie and Shu Chang as the OTP; he is Emperor Taizong of Tang and she’s Empress Zhangsun, in a time period considered as the golden age in Chinese history. His reign was known as the “Reign of Zhenguan.”
The themesong has been released and I love it…. kinda feels very old-school or maybe it’s Han Lei’s magical husky voice. The production feels and looks great.
