So the reception to the female empowerment, growth, and overcoming adversity aspect of currently airing C-drama The Story of Pearl Girl isn’t getting a lot of love from viewers. But the genre remains a frequently tapped on and earlier this year there was Blossoms in Adversity and coming up next is Brocade Odyssey. Youku has reportedly scheduled the Tang dynasty drama starring Tan Song Yun and Zheng Ye Cheng for end of November so three weeks away. Full promos haven’t started yet so I really don’t know what to expect but Tan Song Yun remains a very strong picker of projects and also is always very easy to watch onscreen so I’ll keep my expectations measured and see how this one looks once it arrives.
