Filmed in 2017, republican espionage drama Autumn Cicada 秋蝉 stars Ren Jialun (Under the Power) as Ye Chong, a Japanese officer who is actually an undercover Communist agent. Costars include Li Man, Liu Huan, He Dujuan and Jian Renzi.
The 51 episode drama airs daily on Zhejiang TV / Jiangsu TV beginning tonight.
My pick for March: The Controllers (if it airs it didn’t). Check back for updates on the first of each month.
