First Preview and Poster for Period Romance C-drama Zhu Yu with Zhang Ling He and Tian Xi Wei
If I can’t get my Legend of the Female General anytime soon thanks to the supporting male lead needing to get AI face swapped out then at least I can look forward to this. The first poster and preview is out for the iQiyi period romance C-drama Zhu Yu (Chinese title is translated literally as Chasing Jade) with leads Zhang Ling He and Tian Xi Wei, and the production has gone out of its way to note that there is no billing order between these two lol. She’s the daughter of a butcher who saves a handsome down on his luck stranger to take as a husband and he’s a duke and general who is in hiding and playing along because hello cute wifey who has pluck. I love the casting and set up and the first preview is has both the comedy and pathos that promises a rollicking ride. Inject this right into my veins please drama gods!
Trailer for Zhu Yu Chasing Jade:
I’m looking forward to this one!
The director is the reason why cnets are hyped for this drama, so the billing shouldn’t matter. Hopefully this starts a trend where the director/scriptwriter gets more attention and recognition for a drama being successful.
Looks good!!
Looks exciting… the leads look good. Can’t wait.
Hyped for this, any chances we can see it this year?
This definitely looks good. Also, the visuals of both leads…
Everything about this drama is good. But bcuz of a clip of TXW and Zhang jingyi back then, i had bad impression about TXW. I better read the novel first, probably will increase my curiosity..
The novel is really, really good. You should read it. It has one of the best female leads I’ve ever read in a Chinese novel.
What clip are you referring to? Asking out of curiosity.
Read in weibo during last days of shooting ML and FL didn’t act together but using body double. ZLH with FL’stunt double wrap first. After that TXW with ML’stunt double wrap the next day. Hope the chemistry is okay between them in this drama.
The cinematography is gorgeous, but it seems to be all fluff so far and not much substance. I hope it doesn’t end up like that Guo director’s projects.
At the very least, no one casted in here so far seems to be annoying, so that’s a plus.
I like it!!!
Can I ask what happened why the male lead for the “female general need AI swapping”?
Likely it is due Li Ming De, he announced he is quitting industry recently. Best google for more details.
I really enjoy the source novel. I thk a plucky tomboyish FL will suit Tian Xi Wei, resembles some of her real life personality. This is easily top of my to watch list
TXW has failed me so many times even though I consider her very pretty. I kept checking out ZLH’s dramas cuz his debut impressed me more than anything he’s done following that LOL. I’m just lenient on flower boys until they prove themselves irrelevant to my drama interest LMAO.
I’m not impressed by the trailer. But the scriptwriter and the director combo is enough for me to check this drama. Best wishes for the production team and the cast!
I constantly switch between Cdrama and Kdrama. It’s fair to say Kdrama beat Cdrama by miles in terms of acting, artistry, and creativity. In general, Cdrama look cheesier and cheaper in terms of production quality compared with their Kdrama counterpart. To that point, Kdrama gives me great gratification than Cdrama overall. Nonetheless, Cdrama could be very entertaining sometimes, e.g., the Double and Blossom as recent examples. So this new drama has the same director for Blossom and the same writer for Love Like the Galaxy series. I hope their collab this time can create interesting plot lines.
