I’m getting a tad overexcited about the upcoming C-remake of Queen In Hyun’s Man. Blame it on the visuals, or shall I say I’m a sucker for super pretty dramas. The C-remake is being produced in conjunction with the Korean company that made the original, shipping in the Korean PD behind I Need Romance 2 and I Need Romance 3 as well as the screenwriter to act as a consultant. More and more stills keep getting released that leave me dying to watch the remake and see if the end product looks as good as the promos promise. In addition to leads Zheng Shuang, Jin Bo Ran, and Chen Xiang, all the other major supporting cast member stills have been released, including the buzzed about acting debut of After School‘s Nana playing a rival C-actress.
Love Through Thousands of Years (相爱穿梭千年) places the QIHM story in Han dynasty China, specifically the reign of Emperor Cheng of Han. Those who have read my translations for Tong Hua novels Da Mo Yao and Yun Zhong Ge will find the Han emperors rather familiar, in DMY it was Emperor Wu of Han and in YZG it was about Emperor Zhao of Han. The male lead is a scholar warrior during the Han dynasty who is loyal to Empress Xu while battling forces seeking to have Emperor Cheng cast her out and install favored concubine Zhao Fei Yen as the new Empress. It’s basically the Queen In Hyun versus Jang Heebin situation but two thousand years earlier in China. Very nimble use of similar Chinese history.

the first pic is soo pretty. as queen-in hyun’s man is my most favourite time travellling drama, i will not miss this one!
Noice-ah!
I see shoulders. Big ones. In a sweater. Love it already.
So pretty! The original was also beautiful to watch, so I’m really excited that this seems to follow suit! Hopefully I would be able to watch it.. Are c-dramas easily available, I wonder
Something tells me that this will be my very first C-Drama – assuming it gets subbed, of course.
Nana looks positively evil in her first pic here. But im not sure abt her acting. Hopefully the drama would be as good as the kversion
chinese drama tend to be full pre-production first before airing so i think the quality may be better! I’ m really excited for this. Plus, the queen inhyun’s writer itself consult the chinese writer so it may be really good!! There are so many plot twist and great OTP in Queen Inhyun’s man plus the writers improved then in Nine Time Travel.They must be super happy for people keep remaking their dramas so it mean their work is really good! I’m excited to see the Queen Inhyun’s man chinese remake and Nine Time Travel US remake.
