Yang Zi and Xu Kai is each other’s Best Choice Ever in upcoming modern drama

Best Choice Ever (承欢记) is adapted from the novel written by Yi Shu.

Synopsis from Tencent: Mai Chenghuan, a girl born in an ordinary family in Shanghai in the 1990s, is urged by her mother, Liu Wanyu, to discuss marriage with her boyfriend, Xin Jialiang. However, the affluent economic conditions of Xin’s family upset the originally equal emotional relationship. At the same time, Mai’s mother’s excessive interference in her daughter’s lifelong affairs accelerates the breakup between Mai Chenghuan and Xin Jialiang. Caught between filial piety and loyalty to oneself, Mai Chenghuan struggles. She gradually breaks free from her mother’s dominant care and becomes more focused and enterprising in her work. Mai Chenghuan’s transformation is recognized by her grandmother, who entrusts her with the important responsibility of managing the family’s most valued hotel business. Yao Zhiming, the grandson of the grandmother and a professional hotel manager, gradually understands and approves of Mai Chenghuan in their cooperation. They become work partners, advancing hand in hand. In their personal lives, Yao Zhiming is surrounded by the warmth beneath the fireworks of the Mai family, and his feelings for Mai Chenghuan gradually heat up. From “beneath Chenghuan’s knees” to “achieving self,” Mai Chenghuan has embarked on an extraordinary journey of growth that is uniquely her own.

Airing today 4/9~

New Adaptation of Chinese Paladin 1: Sword and Fairy with He Yu and Yang Yu Tong to join April Broadcast

Following the footsteps of Chinese Paladin franchise, we have another adaptation for 2024, this one is also called Sword and Fairy (又见逍遥). Seriously? Seriously? You can’t give it a new name to stop the confusion with the one starring Xu Kai and Esther Yu aired last year? 🤦 It’s adapted from the first game and if you remember Hu Ge and Liu Yi Fei made a splash afterwards. He Yu is currently entertaining me in The Legend of Shen Li so I guess they want to keep momentum going for him, hence this is coming out now. Looks like he also has some Immortal friends coming with him to here too. Lol

Airing 4/2 ~

Zhang Jing Yi Blossoms in Adversity with Hu Yi Tian this April

Okay, I will get my head out of Shen Li‘s oven and check other Cdrama updates…

Blossoms in Adversity (惜花芷) is adapted from the novel written by Kong Liu. It follows our heroine, eldest daughter of the Hua family, who hides her ability during her childhood and only reveals her intelligence when the family business threatens to collapse. I swear Cdramas and their smart-girl-but-I-gotta-hide-my-talents is its own soapy trope. The question is…can it shine above the others?

To air 4/2~ (Side note: It’s APRIL!! I have one more week of maternity leave left. What if he goes to college while I’m at work? 😭 )

Zhang Ling He and Xu Ruo Han begin filming for modern drama The Best Thing

I’m so happy someone’s hairline is getting a break from filming costume dramas. Lol. The Best Thing (爱你) is adapted from the novel Loving You is the Best Thing I Have Done written by Sheng Li. It’s a short and sweet novel, depicting the romance between a workaholic hotel manager suffering from headaches and a patient and gentle doctor. You be my sunshine ☀️ too Ling He?

The novel was being translated by illanovels but looks like progress has stopped for a while. Who knows, maybe with the drama production being kick-started, more translators will be motivated to finish.
