Oh! Another Xu Kai series. 

I thought he would be resting or something since he has shot a lot of dramas recently.

Crossing my fingers that this comes out soon.

Xu Kai is on a roll.

Esther Yu as well. 

[backstreetboysfan]

I am a fan of both, this sounds cool.

[Latte_Anyday]

Amnesia LoL oh boy.

 

Xu Kai and Esther - interesting. He does have a playful side almost similar to Dylan Wang LoL. 'Cause I feel Esther brings that out in her male co-stars LoL.

    Not really a fan of costume period dramas but will give this a shot.

I am a big fan of xianxia and wuxia.

In fact, I think I have been watching these recently and not the more modern ones.

I guess I am neutral on the genre ahah. There's very few that I truly enjoy. Also they all have the same plot.

That is true!

Most plots are similar and the tropes are as well.
