This summer, it is destined to be a carnival for Chinese ancient costume dramas. First, we had "Lord of Snow Eagles" and "Destined," followed by "The Longest Promise" and "Divine Destiny." And in the upcoming yet-to-be-aired dramas, we have highly anticipated hits like "The Legend of Shen Li" and "My Journey to You." It can be said that one masterpiece follows another, leaving audience overwhelmed.
Especially after completing filming in March, "My Journey to You" quickly obtained its distribution license and officially passed the review process within a very short period. As a pre-produced drama slated for summer season lineup, it is expected to premiere in the middle or later part of the summer. With its excellent production quality, captivating storyline, and a cast full of talented individuals who possess exceptional looks, once it starts airing, it will undoubtedly set new heights for costume dramas.
The Wuxia cdrama "My Journey to You" tells the story of rebellious young noble Gong Ziyu and spy Yun Weishan's journey towards growth as they both crave freedom. This marks Guo Jingming's directorial debut in television after achieving consecutive successes in the film industry. His talent has gained recognition from the industry at large. At least from the released materials so far, we can see that "Feather of Clouds" boasts exquisite art style and meticulous attention to costume design, a guarantee for overall outstanding production value.
"My Journey to You" is filled with stunningly beautiful men and women, boasting an all-star cast that exudes exceptional attractiveness. In the realm of costume dramas, it undoubtedly possesses a top-tier lineup.
The female lead, Yu Shuxin, is one of the most rapidly rising young actresses in recent years. She possesses delicate facial features and a refreshing natural temperament. Despite transitioning from being an idol to an actress, her personal talent for performance and continuously honed acting skills have matured significantly. She is unquestionably a combination of both beauty and acting prowess.
Especially last year, her role as Xiao Lan Hua in "Love Between Fairy and Devil" propelled Yu Shuxin's popularity to skyrocketing heights, making her one of the hottest actresses in demand. Her subsequent leading role in "A Romance of the Little Forest" also garnered much acclaim and showcased her ability to attract viewership.
For Yu Shuxin, costume dramas can be considered her comfort zone. Given that she naturally suits this genre very well, combined with Guo Jingming's meticulous guidance for this production, it has further elevated Yu Shuxin's beauty to new heights once again within "My Journey to You." Dressed immaculately in white attire as a cool assassin-like character portrayal truly brings out the best in her appearance, a sight that greatly arouses anticipation.
As for the male lead Zhang Linghe, his outstanding performance last year in "Love Between Fairy and Devil" has made him one of the most popular young actors today, possessing exceptionally handsome looks alongside commendable acting abilities which he expertly applies to costume dramas.
In "My Journey to You," Zhang Linghe showcases his charm through ancient costumes as well. His overall styling stands out remarkably well—perfectly embodying the character Gong Ziyu. Particularly with his on-screen strong compatibility with Yu Shuxin, it demonstrates an incredible level of synergy and a sense of couplehood that leaves people highly anticipating their performances.
Apart from the two main characters, this Wuxia drama also features a talented cast including Cheng Lei, Lu Yuxiao, Jin Jing, Chen Duling, Zeng Shunxi and Zeng Keni. Each of them is recognized for their exceptional attractiveness and possesses remarkable talent.
In particular, the supporting actresses led by Lu Yuxiao are an embodiment of stunning beauty. Lu Yuxiao has long been hailed as a beauty in costume dramas. Her breathtaking performance in "The Longest Promise," which has just premiered, left a deep impression on viewers.
Chen Duling is equally one of the hottest young actresses in recent years—boasting extraordinary looks alongside captivating ancient costumes and tremendous versatility, an undeniable powerhouse. Jin Jing, Zeng Keni, and Wen Zhengrong are also familiar faces to us who have delivered numerous classic works that never fail to surprise everyone.
With its production quality and cast, "My Journey to You" holds significant competitiveness within the realm of costume dramas. If it were to premiere during the summer season, it would undoubtedly be a strong contender for the top spot among Wuxia cdramas, igniting a whole new craze for drama-watching.
