Word on the street was that Youku was trying to speed up the release of its Tang dynasty big budget drama The Story of Pearl Girl with Zhao Lu Si and Liu Yu Ning into a very drama packed October, likely towards the end. This week two new lead posters were released along with new rumored release updates. It will reportedly premiere on November 1 on Youku streaming and three days later air on three major regional network television channels, so the streaming will get a three day head start before the drama reaches a broader audience on television. I really like these two new posters and of course remain super hyped for this drama to arrive.
