I pray… like I have never prayed before… for the release of this drama… or at least a trailer….
While we ooh and ah over the stills of other period dramas (and curse the lack of episodes), The Princess of Lanling 兰陵王妃 has been feeling largely left out on the attention. Therefore, the show took it upon itself to release quality stills of their more exquisite costumes. Starring Andy Chen Yi (whose drama Seven Friends just aired on CTV), Zhang Hanyun, and Peng Guanying, the series hopes to prove that the Prince of Orchid Hills is not out of fashion and still something to moon over, lady-killing since last year.
More stills below the cut.

On a scale of 1 to Johnny Depp, where do you rate me, ladies?

How about now? (Please take into account that it isn’t easy drinking tea like this for you guys all the time.)

OMG… don’t look back… they’re both looking at me… do I have something on my FACE?!? Is it my HAIR?!? …O…M…G…It’s the hair, isn’t it!?!

OMG!! There he is again!! Just try to look normal but… SERIOUSLY!! What does he want?!? Now I’m sure it’s my face that’s the problem. That maid is SO fired!!

There must not be a problem after all, if he’s hugging me with such a happy smile.

*Sigh* What is with the cost of holding a @#$#-ing banquet these days?!? Back in the day it was just food but NOW… dancers… musicians… @$$-loads of guests?!? A guy needs to eat you know?!?

*Pft*… Unparalleled Happiness was complaining about ornamental tassels in their face… try an entire @#$#-ing curtain of beaded baubles…

btw… try not to notice the plastic fishing lines holding up said beaded-curtain…
Waiting movies
Trailer was released a few hours ago guys!!! Heres the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKsU3KvLke4
Must say Im quite disappointed actually… Cuz theres not much evident acting shown in the trailer :( But well, who khows, since its only a 4 min trailer… *sigh*
hehe not sure about their acting skill but most of the leads do look pretty & handsome fr the trailer :p
Ha ha of course they do!!! But just that i didnt see much facial expression :) but i believe this one is much better than the previous Lan Ling Wang :))
Well… it does seem a bit more dramatic… and the costumes so far are more suited to my personal tastes…. :)
OMG!! Thank you so much for finding it!! :)
the female lead look so pretty in the stills but rumours saying she is very arrogant at the set ? and can’t get along with most of the casts ? wonder if is true or not ..anyway still looking forward to it
If it’s true, hope it doesn’t translate into something on screen… >.<
yup agree with you ! let’s keep our fingers crossed !
Look! A trailer exists! Just not ready for us to see T_T

I’ll guess we’ll have to make an update when it’s released then… :)
Recorded section of trailer in case anybody is interested…
The 4th picture makes me laugh knowing that Peng Guanying is at least three inches taller than Andy Chen.
Has anyone seen the new Andy Chen/Fu Xinbo drama? I somehow had in my mind that Andy Chen was not that bad of an actor, but then I watched it and realized that even Fu Xinbo seemed natural compared to him =_=
I don’t pretend too much just the trailer will come out before my hair turn white….
This is the unfortunate scenario most of us find ourselves in… -_-;;
Do you know how closely does the drama follow the novel in terms of plot?
Unfortunately, not sure about this one… DX People who have read the novel will probably have a better idea when a trailer comes out…
I assume not that much. Isn’ the novel a bit fantasy-ish? The drama seems to have removed all such elements.
Thanks 0kuo0 and idarklight,
I shall see when the trailer comes out but I highly doubt it’ll follow much of it.
