either then of end of 2025 (airing slots are fought for by many dramas !)

Of course. So do the majority of people watching dramas in China over the past three weeks.

But since you seem to favor SK dramas and romance, this may not be what you relate to, if you are not interested in realism and China. It is a coming of age, period piece, around the Grand Canal of China, and Beijing in the period 2008-2016, about family matters, close community friendship and the choices faced with changing times, changing ways of transport, of work, of cities, of health, from the 2000s to the late 2010s, recovering and valuing humble proof of ancient roots to strengthen the ties together, and realism of the sentiments. There are sweet moments, but since it is between childhood sweethearts, there is also a lot of pulling back and forth, no misunderstandings but uncertainty since the ML, and the group of 3-4 boys and 2 girls that he leads informally, need to choose their path and the way to stay together and support each other. Work comes first, and there is stiff competition in studies and on the job market, so the ML, even if he has bright ideas, cannot hope to become an industry leader in his twenties without strong backing that he lacks. So he and his friends struggle, until they find what and who they are made for.

Culturally, even if it is not at all "a musical", the specificity is the music which deploys an anthology of the Chinese pop songs that were known to all, in those 15-20 years of the 21st century (Pengyou, Ting Mama de Hua, Mama Hao, Beijing Huanying Ni, Beijing Beijing, Two Bufferflies aka "亲爱的你慢慢飞 Qīn'àide nǐ mànman fēi" ...), with 6 additional new OST songs by emerging composer Zhang Yilin (who has also been music director for c-drama Six Sisters). Zhang Yilin composed music for six songs in Go North, sung by others, including the nostalgic "Yuǎnfāng" by relative newcomer actress Li Wanda/Vanda Margraf. The FL is in love with the songs of Chris Lee, who is still very much favored as singer of original Chinese pop music.

Generous man. He has always promoted his good friends' work. Remembering the movie theater he paid all the seats for, one year ago: "I miss you", the previous movie of Zhang Jingyi, starring Tan Jianci with whom he played in the shelved drama Winner Is King.

This is logistics indeed.
I did not follow as closely as I ought to. Was there something amiss with Fated Hearts wrap?

Generous man 😍 💙💙💙💙💙

tell me. MUEE is not in my vocabulary list ... yet. When I Googled, I stumbled on a site for maternity dresses in South America, but I strongly doubt that's it 😅😅😅

Ahhhh not for warmth, but for looking expensive?? CZY likes derision. 😅
So, now, did he imply the show was under funded? Of course, it was not going to be as expensive as the S+ White Olive Tree... But surely not as low budget as the vertical dramas ? 😭
He looks good in those billowing white robes ! 💙 And with the table and loudspeaker, he could start a cult as preacher lol or... has he? all those nice yuanbaos are drinking his every word as honey ! 😅

now we know 💙🫶🏻💙

Did you hear the explanation clearly ?

he is, yes. 💙🫶🏻💙🫶🏻💙

It looked windy. Wondering how cold it was these days there. Was that why the General chose to wear the white fox fur before exiting for r&r, to perhaps balmier climes ? or was it to be in tune with A-Zan's fur ? It looked like a pleasant wrap party anyway !
Those who were there must have been excited and happy that everything finally went fine and there was no cold rain falling, (I am not in the vicinity at present, but read there was a cold spell predicted to last into the week-end and, yikes, "blue warning for frost" today! But my trusty weather app predicts a nice rise from chilly 4°C "real feel" now at night to 26°C on Wednesday in Hengdian.)

Sure. cool. Have an ice day !

humor and sweetness, nice small plants (wondering how tall these trees can grow to).

A-Zan was waiting for a slice of the blue cake! Sky blue for CZY fandom color, of course.

Thanks for this; the videos linked are interesting.

nice

I am satisfied with Chen Zheyuan. If you are not, already before the drama airs, perhaps you could look for another drama that suits your taste instead of waiting to be disappointed ?

Started 2024-11-22, wrapped 2025-03-28 in Hengdian
(On 2025-01-28, Chen Zheyuan suffered a freak accident, causing a broken collarbone, but he came back speedily after a "minor surgery" to resume shooting, using a sling for his arm in between shoots, although fan, cast and crew were worried for a while. Courageous actor. Good chemistry with Zhang Jingyi. Good experience with ancient costume, wuxia and martial arts in a handful dramas since 2020 -two got shelved because of circumstances, one of these two may drop any time now.)

enjoy ! :)

Where are you at, in the drama ? She appears on a photo when the group missed her visit in ep22 before she traveled to Italy, and next, when she returns from Italy, in ep38.
