Yang Zi and Xiao Zhan’s modern drama The Oath of Love appears to be hitting the high notes amongst viewers lately. However, not one to rest easy on her laurels, Yang Zi is switching things up with a brand new costumed historical entitled Lost You Forever长相思.
The series has already kicked off filming following its boot ceremony in Hengdian yesterday, March 28. That means we now have the final casting line-up also on hand. Aside from Yang Zi, the drama adaptation of author Tong Hua’s popular novel of the same name also features actor Zhang Wanyi whom you may very well remember in last year’s The Bond 乔家的儿女, Deng Wei whose been racking up his xianxia roles with upcoming dramas like Chong Zi and Till the End of the Moon, as well as Dai Luwa and Wang Hongyi. There’s also going to be a special appearance made by Tan Jianci whose crime series Under the Skin, drew lots of attention this month.
Lost you Forever is among Tong Hua’s many novels to have made it into the small screens, most notably Scarlet Heart (2011) and her latest being The Memory About You which aired in 2021. In the series, Yang Zi plays Xiao Yao, the secret daughter of Emperor Xuan Yuan who due to the circumstance was forced into hiding. She undergoes hundreds of years of hardship before settling down as a doctor in her male disguise to go by the name Wen Xiao Liu. One day, she accidentally rescues Tu Shan Jing (Deng Wei) the young master of the Tu Shan clan.
Meanwhile, her cousin Qiang Xuan (Zhang Wanyi) has been looking all over for her. However, because they don’t recognise each other, it took several tries for them to finally realise they were related.

I wish they pick a different actress, nothing against YZ; but I don’t like her acting. I wish PXR could have been perfect. Scarlett Heart was a good drama, hope the script for this one is good too. Who know YZ might be great in this one :)!!!
Peace Joy
Then don’t watch period!!!

Give Yang Zi a chance. I think she would do a good job. Netizens in china is so mean and violent towards their celebrities. If you don’t like it! Don’t watch it!!!

OMG, my favorite novel adapted to a drama, I am scared ;). Apart from Scarlet Heart, all other Tong Hua’s novel adapted into dramas were bad.
I wish the drama could change the ending

I share the same concerns. Not many novels adapt well into drama without a good script writer… I had high expectations for Sound of Dessert…but only enjoyed first half of the story.
Peace Joy
Waiting for this drama. Another side of Yang Zi.

I just hope they have a different actor play as Wen Xiao Liu :” Amd yang zi can play when Xiao Yao get her face back :”. Other than that, i hope the adaptation will do the novel justice, it is also my favorite novel and has since reread it multiple times
Peace Joy
I am rooting for this drama to be aired!
