Looking forward to “Chinese Bestiary.”
Other than the dramas we’ve already seen trailers for, the Zhang Xincheng drama looks pretty cute. Yang Zi and Xiao Zhan’s give me a much more melodramatic feel than I had expected, but looks pretty. Glad to see this seems to be a new type of role for Dilraba. She’s had a lot of missteps in the past year but I still believe she has it in her.
