Today, The Blue Whisper 君初相识 which just wrapped filming last June 2021 has announced its premiere for March 17 on Youku! A minute later, The Oath of Love 余生, 请多指教 also announced its premiere for March 15 on Hunan TV and Tencent! Can I say that finally, the wait is over! This is especially true for The Oath of Love which was shot in 2019, secured a premiere last year only to see it delayed until now.
The Oath of Love is a modern romance that stars Yang Zi as a graduating senior whose life falls apart when her father is hospitalised due to cancer. At this time, the doctor played by Xiao Zhan enters her life. Meanwhile, The Blue Whisper follows a fantasy romance between Dilraba Dilmurat’s demon master who has the ability to tame demons and Allen Ren Jialun’s merman.
With actresses in different generations from post-85s to post-00’s, there’s no denying that Yang Zi and Dilireba who are both born in 1992 are representative of the post-90s actresses. With the two ladies headlining along with their respective leading men in Xiao Zhan and Ren Jialun, we’ve got two very buzzworthy dramas hitting the small screens around the same time. One is set in the modern day while other is in ancient times, one is set for a TV release while the other will air exclusively online. Which one will you be watching?

I am really looking forward to Oath of Love. I am have lots of confidence in the skills of this cast…
I just hope this drama would not get pulled out again. I hope Xiao’s fans will not stir problems.
As for The Blue Whisper, I will temper and manage my expectations…. Touch and Go…

I’m excited for Oath of Love too! Sometimes I’m just in the mood for some light romance. I’m hesitant about Blue Whisper, especially after I saw the fake abs costume Allen Ren had to wear. But maybe it’ll be a sleeper hit!

Hi Lisa, the first eps of Oath of Love is not bad…It looks like this drama is going to be popular. I just hope the script will not disappoint.

Yay!!! 3/15 is not coming fast enough. My work days will feel very long for the next few weeks and it’s because I can’t wait to go home to watch Xiao Zhan’s dramas.
Seriously
You have to wonder if Chinese actors/actresses are tired of acting in these same tired genre. Especially with South Korean, Taiwanese, and Japanese expanding exponentially in creativity and getting international recognition. There’s only so many fantasy drama you can film until they’re all blurred the same.

There’re audiences for it so it’ll probably not going away. I agree with you about the staggant creativity with China dramas.

nither them or scripwriters can do much about it chinese censorship doesnt allow much creativity
traci
both.

Hmmm… watched the first episode of Oath of Love and was NOT impressed. Editing felt choppy, and neither ZX nor YM felt like they settled into their roles yet. I loved XZ in The Wolf and The Untamed, but found similar problems in Doulou Continent; where he took a few episodes to settle into his role; then nailed it and exceeded everyone’s expectations. He’s a very emotive and expressive actor. I’ll try to watch the next few episodes to see if the drama improves or not.
