You know what I think? Zhang Wan Yi needs a new stylist! He’s looking the same in his costume dramas. Lol. Also, looking at the stills, the drama is likely to keep the reborn dog element? (Maybe not as reborn?) Why does this tickle me so much!! XD XD XD
The Rise of Ning (锦绣安宁) is adapted from the novel written by Wen Tan.
From WeTV: Luo Yining, unbound by traditional formalities, frequently stood up for her downtrodden “Third Brother” Luo Shenyuan, discovering his hidden talents in the process. After heartbreak, she aimed for independence by starting a business. Luo Shenyuan, wrongfully accused, sought the truth about his mentor’s death. Grateful for Yining’s support, he helped her when her business faced difficulties, and their mutual understanding grew into love.
With Shenyuan’s help, Yining punished her mother’s murderer and managed her business well. Encouraged by Yining, Shenyuan excelled in the imperial exams and uncovered the truth behind his mentor’s wrongful death. Together, they cleared his mentor’s name, brought the culprits to justice, and lived a peaceful life.
Airing 10/10~ The battle of dramas in October about to get fiery!
Are You The One (柳舟记; previously known as Hidden Charm) is translated from the novel written by Kuang Shang Jia Kuang. The story opens with our female lead being found injured by the male lead down a river. She wakes up with amnesia and mistakes the male lead to be her to-be husband. Why was she injured you may ask? She’s the leader of a bandit group and also the male lead’s mortal enemy. Male lead thinks she’s part of the bandit group and tries to act the part of her to-be husband to hopefully use her as a bait to lure the leader of the bandits (the irony). When I said hit in the title, I meant it. She suffers another amnesia and forgets the time she spent with ML as fake husband and wife. Lol. That’s all I got from reading reviews. xD
Airing 8/12~
The wait is over for those painfully following this drama. Season 2 confirmed 11 days ago that it will be airing on 7/8.
Lost You Forever (Eternally Yearning For You, 长相思) is a novel written by the well-loved Tong Hua, and is the sequel to Once Promised (drama version is called A Life Time Love with Huang Xiao Ming and Song Qian in 2017).
It is a world of gods, demons, and mythical beings and they all live alongside humans, divided into three different kingdoms. I want to preface this by saying that most of the characters have multiple identities (very confusing to me as I only wanted spoilers!). Our heroine, Xiao Yao (Yang Zi), is a small-town doctor and spends the majority of the first part (multiple volumes) of the novel as a man. She has no memories of her past in the beginning of the novel. In her life, three important men will sweep in and only one shall remain by her side. The first man that we meet in according to the novel is Tu Shan Jing (Deng Wei). He’s beaten to a pulp and in no condition to survive, left to die on the streets. But our heroine picks him up and heals him. And in return, he promises to be her servant, to listen to only her. He’s actually the 2nd young master of a powerful family. The second man we meet shortly after is part of the past that she doesn’t remember. He’s Zhuan Xu (Zhang Wan Yi), a long-lost cousin she spent time with during her childhood. His side of the story isn’t told until the third volume, which makes for an interesting WAH moment (hidden for so long?!). Lol. The third male lead is a general with white hair; he is Xiang Liu (Tan Jian Ci), a nine-headed demon and wildly considered as her soulmate.
Koala has translated the novel, read chapter one here. Please go to her index to find the rest of the chapters.
Airing 7/24 ~
To watch or not to watch…. YZ looks very pretty in here but her dramas are mostly tragedies… Lol…
I’m embarrassed to say it took me four days to compile this list. In the past, only 2 days! A galore of Trailers and new stills!
Which drama (s) are you looking forward to?
