It feels as though dramaland took a giant step backwards this week with the sudden closure of DramaFever, but it seems like c-dramas are unfazed and looking to the future with optimism. iQiYi unveiled their future plans through a press event held yesterday in Shanghai and what they have is an ever-growing roster of dramas. A number of stars were in attendance to promote their respective shows.
Johnny Huang headlines The Thunder, a cop drama also starring Wu Gang, Wang Jinsong and Simon Yam. It is expected to be released Q1 2019.
Yang Zishan and Zhu Yawen are in a love-hate relationship in The Lion’s Reflection of Laying Cat. He is a mysterious bodyguard and she is a domineering CEO. It is expected to be released Q3 2019.
Oho Ou and Tan Songyun star in The Eight, an action-packed drama about martial artists in jianghu.
Alan Yu and Ju Jingyi star in Legend of the White Snake. Despite being the third adaptation of the classic folktale, Ju Jingyi said that she doesn’t mind comparisons. They’ve tried their best and the rest is up to the viewers. She herself watched the previous adaptations and the animated version.
Xing Zhaolin and Bai Lu star in Lucky’s First Love. The title alone sounds like a cute rom-com in the making.
Chen Sicheng announced the plans for a drama adaptation of the hit movie franchise Chinatown Detective. Filming is expected to begin soon.
But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. There’s a whole slew of posters for upcoming dramas that have been completed, currently in production or still in the beginning phases. Which one are you looking forward to the most?

Go Go Squid!! That drama is gonna be so sweet. I hope i can enjoy all 30 episodes without getting frustrated coz the novel is relatively short. I really hope side stories are added without going off from the main storyline.

Definitely The Thunder with Johnny Huang JingYu! Have been waiting impatiently for 2019 to come so I can see it. Hope it also airs on TV!
