Like A Flowing River bringing home an excellence award

Having just wrapped up his second drama for the year – Hunting actor Wang Kai sure wasted no time jumping back into the fray filming for the second installment of his period drama Like A Flowing River 大江大河. Viewers who’ve been patiently waiting for the continuation of the hit series will be pleased to see the return of Yunhui, Dong Bao and Yang Xun as Wang Kai reunites with his original costars Yang Shuo and Dong Zijian in the drama. Also joining the Fab 3 and spotted in today’s boot ceremony are Zhou Fang, Zhao Daand Lian Lian!

It’s amazing how a period drama with serious undertones narrating the struggles ordinary people went through in the beginning stages of China’s economic reform captured the attention of so many despite the popularity and prevalence of fantasy dramas and fluffy modern romances. This definitely says something about the caliber of its line-up of actors as well as the ability of its screenwriter Tang Yao to make the drama’s characters relatable even to modern day audiences. With the return of its original stars and talented screenwriter for the second season, I’m sure we can expect great things from the sequel!
