I feel like Tang dynasty period C-drama Brocade Odyssey is one of those long on the shelf projects just waiting for release but my recollection is totally off as the drama filmed in Q4 2024. That means if it airs in the coming weeks it’s actually arriving earlier than expected but the timing is good for the cast as female lead Tan Song Yun just finished a high viewership modern romance with As Beautiful as You and now Youku wants to ride her buzz and get this one out as well. Male lead Zheng Ye Cheng is one of those super handsome yet very underrated male leads who can act and has the visuals but just hasn’t lucked into a major breakout. If this drama is good and gets good ratings I’ll be so thrilled for the cast.
