Zhu Jue (主角) is adapted from the novel written by Chen Yan. It follows the life of a famous Qinqiang artist, Qin E (I believe she’s a fictional character). Per Wiki: “Qinqiang is a genre of folk Chinese opera originated in Shaanxi Province of Qing China in 1807 and soon took over other genres to be the representative genre of the province.”
Booting Ceremony was held today! Director Zhang Yi Mou is serving as executive producer.
Judge Dee’s Mystery (大唐狄公案) is adapted from Robert Van Gulik (Chinese name Gao Luo Pei)’s novels. He had translated the original story by an unknown author and later borrowed the name Judge Dee as a hero in his later works. It follows the legends and experiences of magistrate Dee Ren Jie who solved criminal cases and protected people from harms. From the trailers, there will be a total of 9 cases with a total of 32 episodes.
Airing 2/6~
Such a star-studded cast. 😍 😍 😍
Sorry, was away for a few days and we have a lot of dramas on our hands. Here’s a quick rundown of what aired this past week. Tomorrow is a new week. Lol.
I did not expect that in my lifetime there would be a global pandemic happening. It is – still is, very tough. Working in a major hospital, I was very fortunate to have a job through Covid but there were definitely some selfish moments where I just wanted to stay home and stay away from the hospital, where protocols and procedures keep changing every single day as we learned more things about the virus. Colleagues falling sick and hospital dispatching some of us to different areas, sometimes unrelated to our job; some smaller hospitals were sending my co-workers to work at the morgue. >.<”
I don’t know what to expect from these dramas but maybe all we need is a little thing called hope to keep us moving forward. Having this blog and some of you guys to chat with has always been the anchor of my sanity. So thank-you for that! Stay healthy, stay informed, stay connected, and stay calm! We are in this together.
I’m on vacation and they decide to air this (7/16)…. Without much fuss….oh well. What can we do?
There will be weekly discussion of this series. One thing I enjoy is going back and reading the comments, especially that of The Journey of Flower. LOL.
The date June 3rd has been floating around for a while now among bloggers, but I only trust it when the production weibo stamps it on their posters (even then, things could go awry). Next monday, folks!
I really like the poster!
Oh, I’m liking the visual of this production already. Everyone looks stunning, especially the ladies! Great hairstyles too!
