What the !@#$# did they do to his hand?!?
The Journey 寻找前世之旅 has begun filming, based on the novel by Vivibear (who I have heard some… erm… interesting things about). Starring Ma Ke, Fu Xinbo, and Kang Lei, fans of these actors can probably give this a try.
More below the cut.
The real reason this is airing relatively quickly after filming…

I am hoping that some of the improvements in production value from Qin’s moon carry over into this drama.
The Foxes of Azure Hills has released foggy stills with plenty of editing. Starring Jiang Jinfu, Gulnazar, Jin Chen, Mike D. Angelo (as Wu Yifan), Xiao Caiqi (as Sun Li), Chen Yao, Zhang Ruoyun, Zhang Ruoxuan, Jiang Kaitong (as Liu Shishi), Zhai Tianlin, Fu Xinbo and Wang Kai (as Yuan Hong), those looking forward to this drama can probably look for a late February release. This is the third drama to air in a role starring Jiang Jinfu (the other two being Qin’s Moon and The Adventure for Love 寻找爱的冒险, which airs on the 20th on Hunan TV), and the sixth with Wang Kai.

Shouldn’t have chosen the image with him holding the sword. Now he looks like he’s giving somebody a lobotomy.
Bath Salts Legend Ban Shu Legend is released via the Internet today (October 16). Starring Jing Tian, Zhang Zhehan, Li Sheng, Li Jiahang, Fu Xinbo, Li Xin’ai, and Deng Sha, China’s really going on a period roll in terms of drama releases… although by the looks of it, this one is way too far up K land for my tastes…

You get pointy ears! You get pointy ears! Every-body gets pointy ears! 2:40
The Foxes of Azure Hills has released more stills after its trailer. Starring Jiang Jinfu, Gulnazar, Jin Chen, Mike D. Angelo, Xiao Caiqi, WuXin: The Monster Killer couple Chen Yao and Zhang Ruoyun, real-life couple Jiang Kaitong and Zhai Tianlin, and idarklight’s biases Fu Xinbo and Wang Kai. It will be interesting to see Tangren return to making this type of drama after a while (Liaozhai Zhiyi and Liaozhai Qi Nvzi).

I’m not sure what to make of this. I guess the Chinese fantasy genre is the new hot now?
Tangren has released stills for their new drama The Foxes of Azure Hills , starring Zhang Ruoyun, Jiang Jinfu, Gulnazar, Jin Chen, Chen Yao, Yao Yichen, Qiao Xin, Fu Xinbo, Wang Kai, Xiao Caiqi, Mike D. Angelo, and Tang Yixin. This drama seems to be following the pattern of some of Tangren’s older productions in adapting fantasy stories from Liao Zhai (Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio). Costuming is not bad but I really hope they look better in action…

Today we will learn about why this drama is supposed to be empowering to women while we are all dressed in such a miserable shade of pink.
Ban Shu Legend has released a trailer. In other news, Yu Zheng is really getting into his game again. Starring Jing Tian, Zhang Zhehan, Li Sheng, Li Jiahang, Fu Xinbo, Li Xin’ai, and Deng Sha, the trailer gives us a chance to see the costumes in action… with English subtitles… oh why…
More stills below the cut.
Although we all hate on him, we have to appreciate the things that Yu Zheng does get right like having a bit more historically reflective costumes and props in his latest productions and keeping things from getting too flamboyant.
Ban Shu Legend has released more character stills, so that means Yu Zheng has deemed it safe to come out of his shell. Starring Jing Tian, Zhang Zhehan, Li Sheng, Li Jiahang, Fu Xinbo, Li Xin’ai, and Deng Sha, the one thing that is for sure is that people will be watching the next drama he puts out very closely.
More stills below the cut.
The gig is up, Yu Zheng. Time to give other dramas a chance.
Ban Shu Legend has released more stills. Watch as Jing Tian, Zhang Zhehan, Li Sheng, Li Jiahang, Fu Xinbo, Li Xin’ai, and Deng Sha take on foreign diplomacy, court politics, and the struggles of young love during the Eastern Han dynasty. I guess we can only watch and see if Yu Zheng learns.
