The year is half over now that it’s June 2024 and one big name in C-drama land I’ve not yet seen out with a drama is Dylan Wang. Last year in 2023 he had three C-dramas, not to say any of those were good lol but at least there was stuff to watch. He’s usually done 2-3 per year but this year it will only be period C-drama Guardians of the Dafeng. It’s being reported that Tencent is scheduling it for September 2024 to kick off early Fall programming as top promoted drama. His female lead Tian Xi Wei is also banking big on this drama to lift her another rung up the actress chain and also more thoroughly cement her real life image change from cute girl-next-door to cool girl siren type. I think the biggest unknown for this drama is how slapstick is was in the first trailer and whether it can balance so many strong elements (justice fighting, romance, comedy) well.
