Promo Round-up: Sword Snow Stride

Coming from the writer of Joy of Life, Sword Snow Stride follows a youngster’s (Zhang Ruoyun) journey from a good-for-nothing noble to swashbuckling hero.

This is why I hate seasonal formats, especially when the first season is already 38 episodes.

Sword Snow Stride releases second trailer

The latest trailer for Sword Snow Stride is feeling more like Joy of Life 2.0, and has less wuxia than I expected (plus, with this being a Wang Juan-scripted show, the chances of me dropping this drama midway just increased dramatically). Starring Zhang Ruoyun, Li Gengxi, Hu Jun and Zhang Tian’ai, the drama is yet to secure an air date.

Word of Honor 山河令, previously A Tale of the Wanderers 天涯客. Starring Zhang Zhehan and Gong Jun, the drama is slated to air within the next two weeks.

Happy Chinese New Year! Wishing you all a safe and sound Year of the Ox. May all the dramas you anticipate air as scheduled! (I know I’m waiting on quite a few).
