Youku is following up xianxia C-drama Till the End of the Moon with Luo Yun Xi and Bai Lu with a kinda younger version of the same tortured fated love xianxia drama Back From the Brink with Hou Ming Hao and Zhou Ye I checked out the promos to see if it’s up my alley. Zhou Ye got her big break as the young female lead in BL-drama Word of Honor and this is her leading lady role in a big drama while Hou Ming Hao has been a male lead for quite a few dramas but doesn’t have that super hit bit on his resume. I find these two very visually compatible onscreen and the preview doesn’t have any problematic or off putting elements so I’ll definitely check this out next month.
Preview for Back From the Brink:
I love most of the novels from Jiu Lu Fei Xiang! But this one was kinda anticlimactic compared to her other novels (e.g., the villains never really felt remorse or regret for what they did). Still, I’m excited to see the live action of the novel and hopefully they’ll improve upon the written version!
I’ve read lots of good reviews for this novel so I can’t wait to see how the live action will be.
Zhou Ye is so pretty but I wasn’t too impressed with her acting in WOH. I think she needs alot of improvement in her acting but she is still young and has lots of time for improvement. I will be checking this out when it comes out.
