Tencent Reportedly Moves Up the Premiere of Legend of the Female General with Zhou Ye and Cheng Lei to End of January This Month
So the early airing rumors last month said Legend of the Female General would be coming in Q1 2025, likely by March. But now the more concrete airing rumors say the drama has been moved up by Tencent and will now air this month in January, my guess is towards the end of the month. This may be my personal most anticipated of all the on deck C-dramas because I loved the novel and think Zhou Ye and Cheng Lei are perfectly cast for a rebirth/revenge/war and romance story. Above and below are new posters recently released and I’m chomping at the bit for a new long trailer more than anything.
Oh…Jan is such a exciting month. I hope it is a good adaptation.
I love the novel, and cant wait for the drama. But there’s a rumor involving their supporting actors. Hopefully it wont effect the schedule.
Really?? Which actors? Hope it is not bad enough to affect drama.
Li Ming De (Marcus Li) plays an important character in the drama and he made accusations on his weibo against actors of another drama he is filming now and the actors accused by him have done accusations too against Li Ming De. Actors who worked with LMD in other dramas also accused him of a bunch of stuff and he replied back with accusations too. It’s a huge battle of wits out there.
Nobody knows the consequences because the authorities do not seem too bothered (apparently) by the accusations thrown out by all the parties involved but we never know if they’re going to act out or not when mess happens on weibo.
Oh…I have read about him just today…it involved a drama with Ma Tianyu, isn’t it? There are those that supported him but others did not. I dont think he is cancelled by industry but he was removed from the drama he was involved in. He did talk bad about male lead actor..
Well Guardians of Dafeng did not do well , and it’s huge budget drama , so I guess they went to plan B.
