Sometimes I wonder if the reason I haven’t found my true love yet is because I’m too nice to drag people in the pool with me when I fall.
The Legend of Fuyao has already aired. Here are some stills from last week’s main romantic events, aka the accidentally walking into your otp’s bathroom/bedroom scene.
I haven’t gotten this far yet since the plot kind of simmers down after the Triwizard Tournament, but I can at least vouch for that part. The costumes are pretty, the CGI solid, the plot interesting, and Yang Mi’s really cute in it.
Try and guess these stars from the Eye of the Beholder video. What level of a fensi/fan are you?

In Legend of Fuyao, Yang Mi is the independent and kick-ass female lead who never backs down even if the world is against her. She embarks on an adventure to protect the lands, reclaim her identity as a royal of the Xuanji line and defeat the ruler of the Firmament. Ethan Ruan plays her protector and love interest Zhangsun Wuji.
The 66 episode drama airs 2 episodes every Monday-Thursday evening beginning tonight (Viki).

Musicians Zhang Bichen, Li Yundi, Zhou Bichang and models Ju Xiaowen, Xi Mengyao, Chutimon Chuengcharoensukying (Bad Genius is amazing and I highly recommend it) , and Karlie Kloss also joined in the fun.
I was able to recognized 34 of the 42 without looking at the list of names, how many can you identify?

Youth and The Liquidator both cancelled their September/October air dates pretty abruptly, and it was reportedly because some of the scenes couldn’t pass by censorship board. Both movies have gotten new premiere dates – Youth will be released in cinemas on December 15th, while The Liquidator will follow on December 22nd.
Legend of Fuyao is the upcoming period fantasy drama starring Yang Mi (Brotherhood of Blades II) as Meng Fuyao, the cenral figure in a complicated love heptagon. Ethan Ruan (Candle in the Tomb – Weasel Grave) plays Zhangsun Wuji, the prince of Wuji Kingdom who also has a mysterious connection to the Firmament.
