why change in name?
It was ordered by the SAPPRFT (State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television). As to why, I don’t know either, but maybe they want all the names to be the same since previous female-centered palace war dramas have also been named “Legend of XY”.
From when, it’s going to on air?
January 12, as stated above. 🙂
Okay. Hurray!! I’m curiously waiting.
I don’t see where is says Jan 12 , but it’s today and nothing so far . Was there change of date?
Yes, the drama was postponed again. Mr. Right is now airing instead.
I prefer the old title though, oh well. Hope it will air soon after Mr Right finished their airing~
So far no updates from anyone , they didn’t even try to give another date even if it won’t work out ? I just rather know anything . Can’t believe it’s that hard to release the show when there is so many things they have to go through in order to be allowed to air .
I seriously doubt we will ever see this drama air now that it’s female lead, Fan Bing Bing, has been accused of tax evasion and is under investgation by the Chinese government. She has disappeared from public view.
