So tonight for many is lunar new year eve of 2024 which means the year of the dragon is here. It’s time for familiar gathering and the return to hometowns, but for the entertainment world it’s an occasion for some celebratory releases. There will be new dramas and movies premiering during this period, and of course new promos. Currently filming period C-drama Love in Nirvana (Chinese title Forever Flowing Waters) adapted from the same name novel stars Allen Ren and Li Lan Di in a fresh pairing and also looks quite lovely TBH. The drama released new posters to celebrate the lunar new year in lovely warm red hues. I wasn’t expecting much from this drama but now am intrigued.
Filming of this drama already wrapped in November 2023. The original story in the novel is quite interesting in that the reader initially is lead to believe the SML (Xu Zhengxi) is the ML in a conventional cat-and-mouse romantic story. The ML actually only becomes apparent later as the story plunges into political intrigue and warfare. It is quite an engaging story and hopefully they haven’t modified it too much to give Allen Ren as the ML more screen time.
I think LiLandi is soo pretty! I just don’t think much of Allen Ren. Oh well. I hope this drama does well.
When is coming release date love of Nirvana Ren Jialan?
