I guess it’s confirmed now that C-actor Yang Yang is the current It Boy of the industry. Last year it was Li Yi Feng thanks to the hit fantasy wuxia drama Legend of the Ancient Sword, and probably more than coincidence that Yang Yang is this year’s big popularity surge since the two guys did the summer drama adaptation of popular C-novel The Lost Tomb (Grave Robber’s Journal) together. It’s now time for Yang Yang to don the period costume as he’s just landed the high profile and much coveted male lead role opposite Crystal Liu in the C-movie adaptation of fantasy novel Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms.
The novel is an epic romance between godly deities, with multiple lifetimes and even reincarnation thrown in. The novel didn’t rope me in so I bailed after a few chapters, but leads Ye Hua and Bai Qian and their multiple lifetime love story is quite popular among Chinese period romance readers. Fans have been waiting for this story to hit the screens and now they are going to get not just one, but two adaptations coming next year in 2016. There will also be a C-drama version of Three Lives starring Yang Mi and Mark Chao. Hoo boy, let the comparisons and competition begin! On visuals alone the edge goes to effortless period beauty Crystal and male model looks Yang Yang, who resembles the C-version of Song Jae Rim actually.
This drama was apparently in talks with C-actor Ding Yu Xi before his just aired…
This year 2024 has been a slow year for K-actress Suzy in terms of her…
There are weird casting choices and this one is weird from both the leads itself…
Well this is an interesting pairing, setting aside the age difference at least I can…
I swear I just wrote about Song Joong Ki having his first baby and then…
At the end of the day, the core of any good drama remains the Story,…

Not a fan of Yangmi. Wish LYF and YangYang were castd for the drama version instead of the movie...guess I won't be watching the drama one than and only watch the movie one.
Guess I'm not the only one who can't stand Yangmi. I wish the same that they switch coz i like dramas more than movies. Will skip the drama for sure now
Me too, I wished Yifei and Yangyang can do both the movie and the drama versions. I can't imagine Yangmi taking on the same character as Yifei, they are just so different.
Me 3. I find Yang Mi acting horrible and stiff. She is so overrated.
Me 4! LOL...glad to know I'm not alone a Yangmi anti. hahaha.
Yup! I wish there would be a drama version led by Yang Yang and LSS.
I meant LYF not LSS.
The real question is how they're going to fit the reincarnations into one movie.
Are there going to be parts for movie? I also wish those two were in drama instead too.
Really can't envision Yang Mi as BaiQain, big disappointment.
Wow 2 adaptations at once oO That's quite something... Though I probably won't watch either since I didn't quite like the book...
I prefer LYF & YY couple though cause I'm not a big fan of YM
Yang Yang actually isn't a professional model. He's trained in dance, and he started out as an actor. He first came into the spotlight as Jia Baoyu in the New Dream of the Red Chamber drama. I'm a huge fan of Yang Yang. He has very crisp, clean features and look, and his acting keeps improving as he challenges himself with a variety of roles. I'm happy that Yang Yang landed the role, and although I haven't read the novel, I trust that he will do well in portraying the role of Ye Hua.
As for the Song Jae Rim comment, I actually always get a Yang Yang vibe whenever I see L of Infinite for some reason.
Hahahaha...Why????? I'm a hardcore fan of Infinite and Yang Yang is my new crush. I don't really see resemblance between these two hotties. LOL...Yang Yang is more manly and determined in his true self although he acts cute from time to time. But L is in nature very sweet, soft-hearted, and an introvert of very few words. They both are extremely handsome without any ps done. Since I watched a substantial amount of TV interviews and variety shows of these two guys, I'm sure they're way different in personality. But I love them both and want to own them in my dream. LOL.
Agree with everyone about yang mi... I Don't have anything against her but she hasn't impressed me at all lately... With her Similar roles... Well see how she pulls off BQ....
OH~~, Mark Chao comeback drama, I can't wait . <3.
Disappointed about the drama version casting, but I'm definitely going to tune into the movie version since it's Yang Yang playing.
ugh same here, i personally don't like LYF and yangmi acting, it just makes everything awkward and stiff and unnatural. would be nice to see different/fresh faces since they're already well known so ppl are going to have high expectations...but with them two...nope, won't work out at all. hopefully it's not too late to recast the main female leads.
The movie sounds like it'll be great with Crystal and YY starring.
