[Upcoming Mainland Chinese Drama] Jade Lovers 翡翠恋人

Cedric Ong · January 12, 2018

Read Zheng Shuang will have at least 3 dramas being shown in 2018. So will be better than 2017.

For Jade Lover....i really can't be sure...like u had seen...sometimes got news on release date then turn out to be invalid very last minute.

The recent "rumors" are either schedule towards end of 2018....or i hope not, they had been photoshopping all of Lee Jong Suk's scenes with another actor.. in order to pass the korean ban...thus all these delay. But sounds abit impractical esp extra expenses.

Guess will have to wait for confirmed news....the type where some tv channel eg tencent or iqiyi really advertise about broadcast date n time...and show those tiny boxes saying ep 1, ep 2 etc.

I can't wait to watch Jade Lovers.... I just hope there is a team standby ready to sub in english. Love Chinese time period dramas but waiting for eng sub is a killer especially for us non-chinese speakers....

Thanks everyone for your updates.... I will be waiting to heard good news from ya about release dates....

is this even posible? he is the main lead in this drama right? Sounds like its be tons of work to do that.

The reason i wait for this drama is only Lee Jongsuk (as im not fan of Zheng Shuang), if they photoshopping all his scene, i might drop this drama from my list

Think it's just a baseless rumor. Still no news on this drama. I realise there are quite a number of c-dramas or movies either co-produced with korean companies or have korean acting in it.....during the past 2-3 yrs....at that time they probably never expect the missile issue. For example Catman movie with actress Wu Qian and Sehun (EXO) (that thread is now near this thread on page 1 as i posted this now)....and also another one called "Graduation Season" with Krystal and Deng Lun.

Initially i thought the ban will slowly be lifted from end of 2017...but doesn't seem to read any news on it...and from the way these dramas/films got no confirmed dates of release...often they would write the current year....then when the year had passed, they would update to the next year.

Hope things would change soon. If not, a waste for the production teams and also the actors/actresses.

She clashes with Bai Luohan (Lee Jong Suk) who becomes a fierce rival at the onset.

While focusing on bettering herself, Chenxi also searches for the old treasures that can save her family without knowing that it would also lead to a big secret.
