In Youth cast at the amusement park

Zhang Yunlong, Liu Ruilin, and Huang Mengying all graduated from the same class (like twenty people who took every class together) at Beijing Film, while Daisi and Qiao Xin are a year apart from Central Drama.  Zhang, Liu, Huang, and Daisi all work for Yang Mi. 

Young, good-looking, and mostly already bff’s since so many of them went to the same college and works at the same company and have been in every other drama with each other, the cast of In Youth 趁我们还年轻 – Zhang Yunlong, Qiao Xin, Liu Ruilin, Daisy, Huang Mengying, and Huang Bojun are so adorable together.   The trailer was imo the cutest looking of the modern  trailer smorgasbord released last month.

Here’s a photoset of them at the amusement park, and a video of them being dorks (that makes me want to ship every combination of them) :

Angelo, and Tang Yixin.  This drama seems to be following the pattern of some of Tangren’s older productions in adapting fantasy stories from Liao Zhai (Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio).  Costuming is not bad but I really hope they look better in action…

More stills below the cut. Continue reading
