With May wrapping up the first big C-drama June release will be Tencent period romance and intrigue C-drama The First Jasmine (Chinese title Mo Li 莫离). I like that the title is different, not using the typical trope words or going too literal, but the preview is now what I was expected. The drama starring Bai Lu and Cheng Lei seems on paper like a political intrigue romance but the preview makes it look like a plotting revenge with detective murder mystery, giving off vibes of her last drama Unveil: Jadewind. My interest is piqued with liking both leads and going into this feeling blind as to what to expect narratively.
