Did you know there's an arrow in your hair Qingchuan? Let me get that for you.
Famous drama screenwriter Yu Zheng, fresh off the success of his latest series Schemes of a Beauty/Mei Ren Xin Ji unveiled the cast of his newest drama, called Gong this past July, and using some of the same actors and actresses from Schemes, with Yang Mi as the female lead this time, and Feng Shaofeng (only a cameo in Schemes) as the male one. The story revolves around time traveling to the Qing Dynasty (a popular theme in Chinese literature). Yang Mi’s character, Luo Qingchuan gets transported to the time of Kang Xi, and realizing this, tries to get on the good side of the 4th son (Mickey He) since according to history he wins the throne, and the rest of the brothers…don’t. However, the playful and mischievous 8th brother (Feng) both pulls pranks and falls in love with Qingchuan, and vice versa, complicating matters and Qingchuan’s plans.
Yesterday, new stills were releasing, showing the playful, antagonistic early side of their relationship, which you can see below the cut. The drama also boasts an extremely large budget, with some pieces of jewelry alone costing tens of thousands of yuan.
A/N: Yan Kuan will be guest starring in this series again, briefly appearing like he did in Schemes of a Beauty, as a “modern day person”. Can you give your old friend the lead Yu Zheng? Thanks.
Off-screen cuteness:
And Tong Liya, because she’s too pretty:
Ah.. love the part where they put Q versions of Qingchuan and Yinsi
Ren Quan is going to be in this, too! *excited*
I can’t wait to see this!!!! I love feng shao feng. Great match with yang mi.
Most unfortunately, I don’t think Yang Mi is shining in this series. Even Tong Liya and Ken Tong are coming off as annoying too. Only Feng Shao Feng is performing very well as 8th Prince and definitely the highlight of this series.
