Recommended Posts

Daylight Entertainment’s upcoming female-centric historical drama Don’t you know? The green should be plump and the red lean has secured a solid lineup led by Zhao Liying (Princess Agents), Feng Shaofeng (Ice Fantasy Destiny) and Zhu Yilong (The Queen Returns).

Feng Shaofeng plays the male lead Gu Tingye, the son of the Marquis of Ningyuan and his concubine Lady Bai. He is known for his hedonistic ways after being tricked by his father’s concubine (Wang Yinan), yet eventually turns over a new leaf and becomes a trustworthy subject of the eight prince. He also has two young children with Zhu Manniang (Li Yixiao), a woman from the pugilist world, though this may change in the adaption.

Zhu Yilong plays Qi Heng, Minglan’s childhood sweetheart. Unfortunately their romance is short-lived, as his family pressures him to marry a lady of noble birth instead of Minglan, who is a concubine’s daughter.

Veteran Cao Cuifen (Surgeons) plays Old Mrs. Sheng, the matriarch of the Sheng family. She adopted Minglan’s father Sheng Hong (Liu Jun), who is the son of a concubine, as her own, and also raised his daughters Hualan and Minglan. The old lady takes a particular liking to the smart and carefree Minglan, and does everything she can to protect her from the dirty residential intrigue that goes on in the inner courtyard.

Shi Shi (Skiptrace) plays Sheng Molan, the heroine’s fourth half-sister and main rival. She is desperate to improve her social status, and, with the help of her mother Lady Lin (Gao Lu), uses an underhanded method to marry the son of the Marquis of Yongchang. However, her marriage is an unhappy one, and she spends her whole life fighting with her husband’s concubine. Zhang Jianing (Police Story) and Wang Renjun (The Advisors Alliance) play the family’s legitimate children Sheng Rulan and Sheng Changbai respectively.

The 70 episode drama is directed by Zhang Kaizhou (Ode to Joy 2)  and written by Zeng Lu and Wu Tong (co-writers of Battle of Changsha), and will begin filming in September.

Drama will be based on this book :http://www.books.shushengbar.com/?p=7353
 
Synopsis: 
 

A pessimistic and negative daughter of a concubine living in the ancient times thought – since life is so difficult, why should one invest serious effort in struggling to live.

The life of an ancient noble woman is often determined and controlled by her family. In addition, one’s actions often implicates one’s entire family – thus, it is fairly common to see an unexpected calamity result in suffering borne by one’s whole family. Managing to live a good and successful life while retaining one’s dignity is simply too difficult to achieve.

Ah, living in the ancient times is simply too dangerous – we should all just sleep till we die.

How do you feel about the cast? I only know ZLY and I saw one movie with Feng Shao Feng. But this is the same production company behind Nirvana, which gives me a lot of hope.

I really don't like FSF esp after he started dating that 19 yr old Jelly girl, wish he was still with her so people wouldn't start rumors between him and ZLY. Anyway, will still watch because of ZLY.

 

I feel the same way. A 40 year old guy dating a 19 year old girl just feels really wrong.

Anyway, I am excited for this!  I like both leads so this is something to look forward to.

 

I kind of want to see 'Chaos of Beauty' being made into a drama.  It is such a good novel; what a waste.  'Refusing to Serve Me' too, that novel is so funny it is such a waste to leave it as it is!  If there is a drama version of 'Refusing', I want Zhao Liying to be An Yi and Yang Yang as Feng Zhao Wen!

Yes to ZLY and YY, I've been hoping they work on a drama together forever.

I didn't like Chaos of Beauty. It wanted more romance. Will check out Refusing to Serve Me.

 I was actually thinking I would really like for ZLY to work on Yang Yang's next drama. The cast is not out yet and I think she could fit in one of the quirky roles. But unlikely :(

The anime one? I'd want it to be something with a lot of romance and kiss scenes

I'm kinda tired of seeing ZLY. She's overworking herself to death. She should try to rest for a while. But, good on her for getting another work though.

 

she is working super hard, trying to get that $$ while she is on top. But you wont see her on TV until a year from now.

I wanted her to take a break and date, but she wants to work.
