Liang Jie, Xing Zhaolin’s The Eternal Love 3 releases trailer

Popular romance web drama The Eternal Love Season 3 双世宠妃3 has release its first trailer. Liang Jie reprises her role as time-traveller Qu Xiaotan. She lost all her memories in Season 2, so I guess it makes sense for the hero (Xing Zhaolin) to lose his memories in Season 3?

The drama will be released soon on Tencent / WeTV.

Promos Round-up: Standing in the Time

The Japanese drama actually didn’t have that much of the male lead, but it seems like he and romance will play a bigger role here based on the promos

In the age of mass misinformation, Standing in the Time 不负时光 is here to remind us the importance of fact-checkers who make sure that every detail checks out. The Pretty Proofreader adaptation features an aspiring fashion magazine editor (An Yuexi) who gets stuck in a seemingly unimportant proofreader job, but slowly learns that the devil is in the details. The series will be available with English subs on viki here and on the iQiyi app.

Lucky’s First Love releases stills of cutest moments

Bai Lu shows that can be super sweet and cutesy outside of her usual tomboy roles.

Lucky’s First Love is imo the cutest rom-com since Go Go Squid! this year, so here’s their latest release of stills featuring some of the cutest moments from the show. The two leads have great chemistry and the story is pure cuteness with minimal drama so far at the halfway mark. Bai Lu made a great foray into a new type of character, successfully portraying the loveable happy-go-lucky female lead while still having her be competent and not a ditz. Xing Zhaolin’s character is also much more human and friendly than most of your typical drama CEO’s. The only main flaw is that the main side couple is kind of boring, but they’re easily skippable.

Pretty Proofreader remake stars An Yuexi, Xing Zhaolin

Pretty Proofreader makes proofreading every book an adventure.

Standing in the Time 不负时光, a remake of the hit Japanese series Pretty Proofreader / Jimi ni Sugoi! Kōetsu Girl: Kouno Etsuko, will star An Yuexi as the adorable proofreader who finds meaning in the details and Xing Zhaolin as the loner novelist whose paths cross with hers in more ways than one. The original is one of my favorite recent Japanese drama and extremely heartwarming and An Yuexi is adorable, so I hope the remake lives up to the original. The series is set to be released on October 2nd on Tencent and iQiyi.
