3 Most Highly Anticipated Chinese TV Dramas of 2019

2019 will see the premiere of three highly anticipated Chinese television dramas that features three of China’s most popular actresses—Zanilia Zhao (赵丽颖), Cecilia Liu (刘诗诗), and Victoria Song (宋茜), all who are born in 1987.

The Story of Ming Lan <知否知否应是绿肥红瘦>

Based on the novel of the same name, The Story of Ming Lan stars Zanilia Zhao as Sheng Minglan, who despite being the Sheng family’s most neglected daughter, helps bring honor and glory to her family through her witty charms and intelligence. Set in the Northern Song Dynasty, the drama also stars Zanilia Zhao’s now husband, William Feng (冯绍峰). As both an on-screen and off-screen couple, The Story of Ming Lan is expected to break record ratings, much like Zanilia’s last television drama Princess Agents <楚乔传>.

If I Can Love You So <如果可以这样爱>

If I Can Love You So, starring Cecilia Liu and Tong Dawei (佟大为), was shot in 2016 and centers on an untraditional love story. At the funeral of a couple who had committed suicide together, their respective lovers meet, and their hatred for each other starts to brew. But in the times that they are forced to spend together, that hatred turns to love. Unfortunately, Tong Dawei has a congenital heart disease, putting his life on the line.

Being Lonely in Love <山月不知心底事>

In this modern city romance, Victoria stars as Xiang Yuan, a fresh college graduate who works her way into becoming a real estate entrepreneur. She becomes involved with the wealthy Ye brothers, portrayed by Oho Ou (欧豪) and Xia Ningjun (夏宁骏). She ends up falling for the older brother and marries him, but she still has lingering feelings for the other. Their relationships get tested in a kidnapping incident.

  1. I agree with the first one but the other 2 sound boring though. Not too sure how a drama that had been shelved for 3 years is highly anticipated.

  2. People are anticipating the first one because of only one idol, ZLY.
    If I can describe Legend of Ruyi using only one word, it woud be “boring.” I saw the trailer for Minglan and it gives me Ruyi vibe a lot. They are the same quiet dark style with very slow pacing.

    1. @davy yup, and ZLY or FSF do not look great, they look old :/ but actually the series might do well for other reason, Zhu Yi Long, his stardom is atm second to only ZLY

  3. I might watch “The Story of Ming Lan” but the other two don’t seem to spark my interest at all. What happened to the series that Tang Wei was starring in?

  4. Not to excited for any since it doesn’t look that interesting but I don’t think the first 2 will be that bad as both Cecilia and Zanilla can act. Victoria though I kind of doubt her acting skills as she was very stiff in both ice fantasy and life time love although her leading man HXM did no better.
