Antique Bureau 2 begins streaming

Xia Yu returns to find the fakes.

The second season of antique thriller, Antique Bureau / Mystery of Antiques, began streaming today. This drama had a promo period of like a week, so there are not that many promo material. The director for this actually has a better track record than that of one, so I’m hoping the drama will reflect that. It stars Xia Yu, Wei Chen, and Aly. ThThe series 2 episodes every Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday and should be available with English subs on WeTV.

Trailer below, pretty theme song by Zhou Shen here.

“Back in Time” not cool enough for Ni Ni?   Come up with you own!

The film version of Cong Cong Na Nian 匆匆那年 is calling for English titles with a reward! Can you come up with a better English title for the Zhang Yibai film starring Ni Ni (#beautiful), Eddie Peng, and Wei Chen?

Since we’re on the subject, what are some of your favorite English translations? Least favorites?  I nominate My Fair PrincessThe Last Supper, and upcoming drama All Quiet in Peking for the former and Love Yunge from the Desert, The Journey of Flower for the latter.

胡歌: 明天阿苏就要被蔺晨收拾了 今天赶紧出来放放风 药可以不吃 雪不可不赏

What better way to start off this week’s Weibo Wednesday round-up than with pretty Hu Ge? An unofficial trailer for his upcoming drama Nirvana in Fire (琅琊榜) was leaked yesterday, and although the video doesn’t really reveal much (people flouncing! people walking! people darting around with swords!), at least it gives us some nice shots of Hu Ge.

Tomorrow Ah Su [Hu Ge’s character] is going to get sorted out by Lin Chen. Today, I hurriedly went out to get some fresh air. Medicine you don’t necessarily have to eat, but snow you cannot not appreciate.
