Tangren (Chinese Paladin 1 & 3, Bubu Jingxin) has hired former employee Lin Yufen (Love O2O, Eternal Love, Love and Destiny) to helm Perfect Couple 完美伴侣, a story that focuses on the shaky marriage between a top securities lawyer (Gao Yuanyuan) and her house husband (Zhang Luyi).

This might be the most fun photoshoot of the year. As the host of the upcoming GQ Men of the Year event, Wang Yaoqing spoofed all the 2020 covers. Other than being funnier, there are two covers of his that I unironically like as fashion magazine covers more than the original.
Photos that caught our eyes this week. What caught yours?
Love Yourself (Love in Shanghai) stars Song Qian, Celina Jade, Zhang Jianing and Li Chun as best friends who each have their own struggles when it comes to love.
The 36 episode drama releases 2 episodes every Tues-Thurs and will be English-subbed on the iQiyi app.
I like how the concept teaser for Pride and Price likens signing a contract to an imminent battle where everyone has their own schemes and ideas. Starring Anita Yuen, Song Jia, Chen He, Wang Yaoqing, Wang Longzheng and Song Zu’er, the drama will probably be released this year. [Character Intros]

Beautiful Reborn Flower stars Song Weilong as the hero who struggles to work out which of the sisters (both played by Lin Yun) he is actually in love with. The synopsis suggests they’re two different people, but the trailer makes me think they’re the same person after all?
Filmed in 2017, the 50 episode drama releases 2 eps every Friday to Monday on iQiyi and Tencent. English subs will be available on their respective apps / Tencent WeTV. It’s also available on Youtube here.
Find Yourself took a pretty main cast in Song Qian x Song Weilong x Wang Yaoqing and stuffed them into a story that mixed the worst parts of a syrupy sweet romantic fantasy with a frustrating and unimaginative love triangle.

Song Qian and Song Weilong start off with immediate chemistry in the first few episodes of Find Yourself. Even better, all the side-characters are also attractive, varied in personality, and fun. However, as soon as the main couple gets together, Find Yourself loses itself.
