Zhang Bin Bin and Sun Zhenni Saddled with Overwrought Xianxia Costumes as Filming Kicks off for New C-drama
Of course not every C-drama can be S- or even A-level in budget but some stuff just looks so cosplay bad I cringe seeing it made on any budget. A new xianxia romance C-drama kicked off filming this week with leads Zhan Bin Bin (Vin Zhang) and Sun Zhenni and the press conference and costume fitting stills had me lol-ing and feeling second hand embarrassment for them. The drama is called Qian Duo Tao Hua Yi Shi Kai (A Thousand Peach Blossoms Blooming in One Life) and don’t let the lyrical title fool you the drama looks like the baddies from every single xianxia drama get their own romance in the limelight with the black and ornate costumes thrown on the leads. The shoulders and the headpiece on Sun Zhenni is usually reserved for like the one scene female baddie in a xianxia drama and poor Zhang Bin Bin is trying so hard to be fierce despite knowing how ridiculous he looks.
What did they do to my little fox demon!? 🙁
This girl is so pretty and ZBB is still handsome as ever. Hopefully they have good chemistry together.
I just cant… the cuostumes are so over the top that I just laugh everytime I see photos of them.
That headdress is just way too much.
I’m impressed that she’s managing to slay even in that headpiece! She stole my heart in Till the End of the Moon so I might be inclined to check this one out.
Is this set in underwater? Why all the fish bones for decoration on the head?
Just sad ZBB never made it big to date. He’s always been the go-to male lead for up and coming stars, e.g. Dilreba then, Esther, Xu Lu, Wu Qian. Now Sun Zhenni. I still love his CP with Dilreba, in Pretty LHZ and King’s Woman. I think Dilreba’s acting was more authentic during those days. ZBB’s acting is solid and I read he is such a gentleman, very rare in C-ent. Hope he can still have a reunion with Dilreba and a happy ending this time.
My fav CP was Jing Tian. I hope they can pair up again, I was not satisfied with Rattan!
I agree
ZBB…. Hmmm I only watched him in a few shows. But the most interesting was with Jing Tian.
He has everything as an actor… and yet, he has yet to have an iconic or memorable role… let’s hope this upcoming one would be the one.
Even though she is new, Sun Zhenni has lots of charisma and depth as an actress. Not to mention that she is super pretty
Just finished ZBB and Esther Yu’s Romance of Little Forest. ZBB is definitely at his swooniest best in this one!
Too much is sometimes too much.
My head hurts. Hope they don’t go to bed wearing wearing them pokey things.
