Tears in Heaven (2021)

The story revolves around a reporter who falls in love with a doctor, yet their love is met with resistance and ultimately ends due to an untimely tragedy. The reporter meets another man, a friend of the doctor’s who falls in love with the kind and gentle heroine. 

The premise sounds less gut-wrenching that the usual Fei Wo Si Cun adaptations that I’m used to and noticeably lacking a vengeful streak though I suppose it’s wise to assume that there will still be a fairly heavy dose of melodrama given the addition of a third wheel and a ruthless competitor as the villains. 

I can’t end the post without sneaking in a Princess Agents easter egg because how poetic is it that Li Qin and Shawn Dou can get together this time? Update: Four years after filming wrapped, Tears in Heaven finally secures a release date of June 23, 2021 on LeTV, MGTV, iQIYI, Tencent and Youku.
