It is a 2024 Chinese drama. Also known as ‘The Shadow’, Ru Yue, Bing Xue Yao. Directed by Li Mu Ge. Screen writer is Wang Hong. It stars Gao Wei Guang & Ouyang Nana. Along with Winwin as doctor Situ, Ryan Ren as Li Ying Liang. Supported by Maggie Huang & Tang Jing Mei.
During the Republican era, Shen Zhi Heng, a famous vampire lived over a century. He was almost assassinated by a group of corrupt soldiers & saved by a blind girl & his best friend Doctor Situ. Later Shen Zi Heng & Mi lan’s lives become more intertwined as he searches for the reason he became what he was while she needs a reason to live.
Afapted from the novel ‘Ru Yue’ by Ni Luo. It focuses on the leads. I would have liked to see how the handsome doctor manages his relationship. When Mi Lan goes to the hospital to find Dr Situ, I had thought of him as the main lead!
With Mr Shen later there was no doubt. With his hairstyle, he looks older than the girl. I watched them on TV & in modern clothes they look younger. She looks her age! In the drama her short hair make her appear cute, innocent But a lot younger than him!
Fans have complained about the ‘no chemistry’ but the era keeps you hooked. No sharp turns but the intrigue is fascinating.
What in the world of fantasy we are so familiar with ‘Goblins’, ‘Nine Tailed ‘ & all creatures that make our world fascinating!
I loved watching it.
