I love when a well done trailer plus a genre that gets my interest up dovetail perfectly to ramp up my excitement from idling to full throttle. I’m talking about upcoming modern romance C-drama Speed and Love adapted from the novel Double Track, and writing this out makes me connect that the male lead is speed and the female lead love lol. The drama stars Yu Shu Xin and He Yu as not blood related former siblings separated in elementary school age who totally see other in non-sibling ways after they reunite as adults. I mean, Yu Shu Xin’s character Jiang Mu is not blind in this drama so like, no shit she can’t stop shooting heart eyes at her “brother”. He Yu clearly for the memo when he signed up for this role and is knocking it out of the park with the bad boy exterior and marshmallow only for her interior as big bro Jin Zhao. The production also released an official Making Of video celebrating the end of filming and shows the filming from gritty Bangkok to sunny seaside Hainan and finally ending in Nanjing. I also know why this drama is making me so giddy with anticipation, it’s because the most recent C-drama modern romances have all been unicorns vomiting up rainbows hugs and kisses meet cute type dramas like Ski into Love and The Best Thing and while The First Frost is darker it’s just melancholy slowness with not much happening. This one feels like a shot of adrenaline mixed with dopamine.
