Zhang Ruo Yun leads 15 Years of Waiting for Migratory Birds

Oh. I’m feeling old for real now. Beside Zhang Ruo Yun (Wu Xin The Monster Killer, Sparrow), the rest of the fresh faces are born after 1990! Fifteen Years of Waiting for Migratory Birds is a drama adaptation of a novel written by Ying Feng. It is one of the youth dramas produced by Hunan TV to follow Taekwondo Girl. I skimmed through the synopsis and it’s not a happy ending. Someone will die but I won’t tell you who. Some fans call it a gentle kind of death. Maybe they will change the ending for the drama version. Who knows. But the cast is mostly consisted of fresh meat (pretty ones!). =P

The Condor Heroes with Chen Xiao and Michelle Chen gets an air date

I checked and I haven’t written about this remake since….last year? Whoa. To be fair, there’s nothing to write about anyway since we know the story inside out, and head to toe. The catch is how Yumama is gonna change (ruin?) the story. I guess you’re anxious for the real date? Rumors last month said that Yun Ge From the Desert would air back-to-back with its prequel, Sound of the Desert.

Let’s think positively for a second here….

Oh Yumama, why couldn’t you give Michelle Chen this hairstyle from the beginning? You could’ve saved her from a lot of internet unpleasantries. She’s looking more graceful and mature without the silly horns (that you gave to basically all the female characters!) Filming is almost done, seeing how they are now releasing images from the final battle.

What? You think Yumama is done with Jin Yong’s novels? Nope. He’s here to rebuild the wuxia world. The young actor, Chen Xiao, at 25, has been in numerous Yu Zheng’s productions – Gong 3, The Swordsman, and as the protagonist in Female Prime Minister. Am I complaining? – too many remakes already – but I approve of him, mainly because this lad looks great in period dramas as compared to modern outfits, where he’s just another pretty boy with Asian bangs.
