Love of Life and Death Trilogy to air on Jiangsu TV

Three famed love epics tales return to TV in the new Hai Yan trilogy

Based on three of the most beloved tales by modern love epic pioneer Hai Yan, “Love of Life and Death -  a Hai Yan trilogy” will soon air on Jiangsu TV, featuring a young yet experienced cast. The trilogy includes re-adaptations of  “How can I save you, my love 拿什么拯救你,我的爱人,” “Jade Goddess 玉观音,” and “Never rest in peace 永不瞑目.”

The three tales, all involving love stories intertwined with law and criminal, have previously made popular artists like Sun Li, Peter Ho, Liu Ye, etc. while they do the same for the new actors? While Jade Goddess is the most wellwritten of the stories and has previously been portrayed by Sun Li/Peter Ho and Vicki Zhao Wei/Nicholas Tse, I’m personally looking toward 拿什么拯救你,我的爱人 the most because of its all-star cast of talented, good-looking but not yet famous actors/actresses. Watch its extended trailer here.

Ugly Wudi also dances and sings?

What happens when the American Ugly Betty, the Mexican La Fea Mas Bella, and the Chinese Ugly Wudi meets? The audience may just find out soon. According to sohu and other major websites, there are plans for a movie version of Ugly Betty that will bring the three different “Betty’s” together in Hawaii.

While we wait for that, cfensi and I are both hyped about Ugly Wudi 3 the musical that’s airing after Meteor Shower. It’s a beautiful example of Hunan TV’s creativity and willingness to move beyond the norm.
