My daughter opens the new year for a series of Anhui TV idol dramas to come

Along with the high popularity of currently airing idol drama “My daughter,” its producer and airing channel Anhui TV is beginning to take its place as a rising drama producer of its own. While most of Anhui TV’s idol dramas have previously relied on Taiwanese leads like Jerry Yan, Ella and Mingdao, they finally have been moving away from that with more new mainland stars like Tang Yan and Li Yifeng, building a core actor group of their own. Despite Hunan TV’s position as the idol drama pioneer, Zhejiang and Anhui TV both have recently invested heavily in idol dramas since last year. As these investments increase, the results are bound to be good for everyone as the mainland idol drama industry increases both qualitatively and quantitatively.

A preview of threee upcoming original dramas invested by Anhui TV, including My Daughter with Tang Yan, Roy Qiu, Baron Chen, Qi Wei and Zhang Meng,  Sunny Happiness starring Janine Zhang Junning, Mike He and Li Yifeng, and Unbeatable starring Tang Yan, Hu Ge, Dong Xuan, Roy Qiu and Qi Wei. Which one are you looking forward to? (more…)
