Filming Commences for Period C-drama Against the Current with Tan Song Yun and New Male Lead Zhang Xin Cheng
Filming is reportedly quietly underway for female lead centric period C-drama Against the Current (Chinese title 兰香如故 Lan Xiang Ru Gu). It came out when the above leaked still of female lead Tan Song Yun in costume got all her fans super excited, both that she’s headlining this drama and also her hair and outfoot look great on her! I love this more simple and refined look on period ladies. The drama was reportedly going to star her and Liu Xue Yi but this week it’s instead the originally rumored male lead Zhang Xin Cheng is back as the male lead, and will be a reunion of the two from Go Ahead. Plus another neat addition for this drama is that the screenwriter is novelist Tong Hua who dabbles in C-dramas from time the time.
In other good news Prisoner of Beauty finally has a distribution license with all 36 episodes intact!! We might actually see this drama next month!
I saw them on a reality show and they had good chemistry. So this should be fun to see.
I don’t know where you got this information from, but it’s all wrong. Filming will not start until May 7. The above picture of Tan Song Yun is not a leaked photo. It’s actually a photoshop done by fans and there’s a few of those since her fans are excited to see what her costumes would look like for “Against the Current” so while they wait for filming to start they’ve been putting her in various looks. Also, Zhang Xin Cheng is not the lead. It’s still Liu Xueyi, and they just add Li Meng(baddie princess from “the double”) to the cast.
Great!! Both have great chemistry with each other and other lead characters too.
Nothing against Zhang Xin Cheng but I rather have Liu Xueyi as the ML. Better looking and better overall imo+ I was so excited over this new pairing. Oh well…
It’s still Liu Xueyi. I also agree with your assessment.
