Upcoming Chinese Dramas October 2020

Fans of historical romance rejoice as two have announced their October premiere dates as of today. Caesar Wu who’s starred in costume dramas since Meteor Garden is back with another in General’s Lady. Meanwhile, I’m admittedly more excited for The Moon Brightens for You just because it is Xing Fei’s first historical drama and my first time seeing her in a role that I assume will be adorably badass. China will celebrate its national holiday on Oct. 1 which probably means a slew of patriotic themes coming soon so I’d be curious what kind of dramas will be in store.

Please remember to check back for air dates on the upcoming Chinese dramas for the month.
