iQiyi has lined up an impressive list of 12 episode miniseries that will air over the next three months – which ones are you looking forward to most?
On a related note, I‘ve given up on compiling a list of air dates for upcoming dramas because there is always so much uncertainty surrounding drama premieres.
Instead, feel free to bookmark our Watch Dramas Online page, which is constantly updated with premiere details for all the latest Chinese dramas (even the ones we don’t post about).
Streaming giant iQiyi has bought the adaption rights to two more novels written by Zi Jinchen, the screenwriter and original author of critically acclaimed thriller Burning Ice无证之罪. Both web dramas have already started filming, and will have twelve 60 minute episodes.
The Hidden Corner / The Bad Kids 隐秘的角落 is already in production, and stars QinHao, Wang Jingchun and Zhang Songwen.
A long-suffering live-in son-in-law (Qin Hao) hatches up an elaborate murder plot to kill his cheating wife and her family after she demands a divorce. His actions are recorded by three children playing nearby, yet he soon discovers that he was actually set up by the three young children. Consequently, he begins to work out how and why a thirteen-year-old boy is able to twist the truth to his advantage.
