Actually the one that I’m really looking forward besides Lost You Forever, it’s the Fox Spirit Matchmaker series that are star studded. Yangmi remains the best fox spirit actress on screen for me and she will be appearing in season 1.
Season 3 comprised of Cheng Yi which confirmed will be good and tear jerking.

Yang Mi has a new drama series coming out on or around 20 Apr

哈尔滨一九四四 (In the Name of the Brother)


Looks good but why does this have to be a Republican spy drama (yet another)? Will this be the next 破万剧 for iQiyi?

Douban rating for 4 of the more recent dramas are now out:

I actually thought In Blossom is buay pai, the pace kinda dropped off from epi 21, 2nd leads screentime became super pathetic but other than that, really enjoyed the first 15 epis especially

Nice! Tiagong the scriptwriter took 10 years to finish this original script... I really like the first ver. of the FL played by the guest actress! The gutsy corpse collector

 

[RockaRolla]

Guess Who I Am, also not bad, quite a goofy show

This short drama Fortune Writer 执笔 is not bad also, plot damn unique
Daisy Li, no horse run in this drama, acting is good, her plain makeup/costume in some epis really exude an ethereal feel especially with her expressions. Her kissing scenes also good!

Agreed! ZHHZ is more convincing than JJY. I dont like how they reduce the toughness and strong FL when she change to JJY
Gotta say though, JJY acting wasnt that bad here compared to her other dramas

Mini breakthrough for JJY... one drama finally crossed the 5.0 mark on Douban lol

I dun really like drama set in the republican period. Anyway right now busy with Korean drama esp QOT, KSH debak.

Yup I also prefer the first actress and she had better chemistry with the male lead.

Actually not sure if 颜心记 will indeed get released next month. Just grapevine news It's possible may roll out Fox Spirit Matchmaker: Red-Moon Pact or some other drama first instead... Same with Tencent for Joy of Life 2, it could come in June (or even July) instead. But expecting both to be out between May to Jul...

Haven't seen news about My Heroic Husband 2, supposedly in preparation but not sure if the script is even ready, or if they can get the original cast back to shoot. Will be years ahead! But the MHH director also directed The Legend of Shen Li, which was just out
