When people like Chen Yao and Dilireba always play the one who relentlessly chases after some completely unmoved guy, you begin to question what’s wrong with the male race.
Chen Yao, Yang Le, Ma Ke, and Cai Jingwen tackle on Yang Zishan, Mark Zhao, and Han Geng in the much brighter(literally) and younger TV adaptation of So Young 致青春. I’m a fan of both leads, and the trailer actually looks like a lot more fun than the film. No news on broadcasting yet.
“I want some chocolate.”
As Valentine’s Day approaches…try not to obtain chocolate for your significant other by robbing an extremely pink chocolate shop.
Below the cut, Fan Bingbing‘s real-life boyfriend Li Chen swings around a baseball bat as the two reign over crates of chocolate. Continue reading
Celebrate for we have costumes in darker hues!!
Noble Aspirations 青云志 has released even more stills. The character number is starting to get a bit crazy.

Come to think of it, Gao Yunxiang really has a thing for playing the “manly man archetype” from Palace: The Lost Daughter to Ban Shu Legend to Legend of Miyue.
Son of Hero, starring Gao Yunxiang, has released more character stills. It makes sense that the costuming shouldn’t be too ornamental given that this should be centered on war and the Song dynasty military.

The way you drag that behind you tells me that you by no means embroidered that yourself…
The Princess of Lanling 兰陵王妃 has released stills. Starring Andy Chen Yi, Zhang Hanyun, and Peng Guanying, these let us take a better look at some of the embroidery on the costumes.

Those with a liking for Yang Rong and an allergy to Yu Zheng may find this more palatable.
The Legend of Flying Daggers has released stills with backgrounds. Starring Hawick Lau, Yang Rong, Wu Yingjie, Huang Ming, Kenny Kwan, and Yuan Bingyan, the backgrounds definitely help the costumes look better than in the previous character stills.

OMG just stick to the more literal translation of the title on this one…
Ruyi’s Royal Love in the Palace (Ruyi Zhuan, The Legend of Ruyi, or the sequel to the Legend of Zhen Huan or Empresses in the Palace) is trying to drum up interest while it seems to be preparing for production. There are various names being thrown around at this point but what seems more certain is that Zhou Xun will be a part of this production. Let’s hope the original author and production team can come together to make something amazing again.
Note: We apologize for constantly posting and removing this one in the last couple hours since there was confusion about who is actually going to be in it. We decided to settle for this version.
Merry Christmas to those of you who celebrate it!
The internet claimed this was a Christmas shoot because of the antlers, and since I couldn’t find any other good Christmas shoots other than the already posted Wang Kai one, so here’s Ni Ni, as photogenic as always. More here.
We haven’t seen much of this costume in released materials so it goes on top. :)
The Legend of Miyue has released antique stills for Sun Li. Starring Liu Tao, Huang Xuan, Jiang Xin, Ma Su, Gao Yunxiang, Alex Fong, etc., more eye-candy for those who are keeping up with this new hot commodity (also because they are pretty and I lack self-control).
