I am looking forward to this as the trailer is cool.  Heard Chen kaige is the executive producer.  Both father-son duo bling bling the silver screen.  

The trailer:

Good trailer.  Somehow I feel like Tan SongYun face doesn't really suit period dramas.

[Lynne 23,159]

Ooohh wow ... clap clap!!! that trailer is great!

Happy to see Tan Song Yun and Jin Shi Jie here too...

@raziela LoL.. for me its the headdress that I think I will need to get used to  

 

Question: Is it really "only" 36 episode????? 

[rhaps 14,351]

I hope that it's only 36 episodes, so that it wont drag and (hopefully) has fast pace. I dont have problems with TSY in period drama, since this is a Republican one ..like a 'semi' traditional

[Lynne 23,159]

@rhaps I know hehe... I hope it's only 36 episode too.. but you know how it is these days...

Well..Bloody Romance is 36 episodes, so we still have hope . 

[rhaps 14,351]

I just hope for one thing : this gets english subs . It doesnt look like a major production (does it?), so I'm worried

 

Oh, and isnt that Master Yan Se as one of the Eight? He is a senior actor, isnt he? 

 

 

[rhaps 14,351]

Yeah. I like the trailer and I'm interested to know what the Eight is . It seems like a bunch of interesting people. 

 

Master Yan Se has a good acting.  Oh, I really hope that this has english subs.

if im not wrong....its known of a set of ppl with diff skills all group together to save the world lols....or with a mission to overturn the government?  

That sounds like an eastern version of the Mission Impossible  

 

I like it.

well the west do have their mission impossible....if u like it....have u watch 'The Four'?  it is pretty good with ZhangHan as a lead....

 

though they are not to over throw the government but to protect the citizen from bad officials  

Do you mean the one with Yang Yang and William Chan? I watched it, but I think it wasnt my cup of tea .

awww too bad....lols....but well it does get boring sometimes  

Yeah..not a fan of the story

 

And I prefer one with a more natural/darker vibe, like Wuxin Monster Killer or Sparrow. It seems that the Eight has similar vibe, and I'm hoping for more artistic / pretty cinematography and fighting scenes.

The trailer looks good! I just watch Seven TangSongYun in With You, like her, cute and natural beauty. I always like republican drama setting era.

i hope they will be airing this soon......im going to miss her with 'Under the Power' finishing

There is going to be another drama of TSY and SWL in GO AHEAD too.  Hope they air it and this drama also soon.  

[caranita 1,957]

iQIyi has finally put the drama in the "Coming Up' section. And AvenueX latest video mentions that it's supposed to air by Q2-2020, so let's cross our fingers that it will air soonest! 

 

Just a reminder, this drama is a joint work of iQiyi and Chen Kaige. He's right there at the middle front in the wrap up picture on page 1. According to ScreenDaily, CKG is involved in casting, editing and cinematography! How far CKG's involvement actually is, I can't be sure. But at least we can see it has actors who often work with CKG before, like Ou Hao and Jin Shijie. Like others, I'm excited to see Tan Songyun here!

June 12th !

 

 

[Lynne 23,159]

The trailer... >.< So excited! 

 

 

 

[caranita 1,957]

TONIGHT!

 

PS. I might be the only one, but I found the second trailer quite underwhelming. Fingers crossed, it won't be the case!
