Is Yang Zi starting the year early to put her in name in Popular Characters for 2025? She already dominated in 2024. Lol
Heheh, we ended the year on a good note with Meng Zi Yi and Li Yun Rui’s Blossom, and now will start 2025 with this series. That’s not the end of it either as Sun Zhen Ni also has a currently in post-production drama with Li Hong Yi called Blossom in Darkness. 😛
Anyhoo, The Blossoming Love (千朵桃花一世开) is adapted from the novel A Thousands of Peach Blossoms For A Lifetime written by Sui Yu Er An. It’s a xianxia, following the love story of our leads.

Airing 6/17 as well ~
From the trailers and stills, this drama gives me vibes similar to Perfect and Casual. Be With You (好想和你在一起) is a romantic comedy featuring three different types of couples. Our leading couple is played by Ji Xiao Bing and Zhang Ya Qin. She’s a enthusiastic comic writer who needs inspiration for her book so she gets close to a cool and collected professor at school, believing he’s the perfect comic book hero. I don’t know why she needs to do that, just turn on the television and there’s inspiration, especially the cold but soft inside hero! Lol.
Began airing 11/19 ~
