TW-actor Joe Cheng reunited with C-actress Wang Li Kun after working together on thriller romance movie The Beloved (The Rebirth of Love), but this time they take their romance back nearly two thousand years to the North Qi dynasty. They are headlining the C-drama adaptation of the novel Phoenix Unique (凤凰无双), a story of warring kingdoms and betrayal and epic love. You know, the bread and butter of period C-dramas.
