Previews of 2010 Jade Dramas
Below are high-quality trailers of series to be released/filmed/proposed next year. Please be patient as the videos may take some time to load/buffer depending on your connection.
Righteous Sea of Heroic Love (巾幗梟雄之義海豪情)
Cast: Wayne Lai, Sheren Tang, Susan Tse, Ngo Ka Nin, Raymond Wong, Fala Chen, etc.

Epic trailer! I’m so relieved to see that the sequel to Rosy Business is not a comedy. Set during World War II in Guangzhou, China, the spin-off drama deals with internal struggles to suppress the trade of opium and invasion by Japanese soldiers. I believe this has huge potential to surpass its predecessor.
The Legend of Pu Songling (蒲松齡)
Cast: Steven Ma, Linda Chung, Sunny Chan, Fala Chen, etc.
Get the Flash Player to see this player.
Pu Songling is the author of Strange Tales of Liaozhai, a collection of stories about ghosts and spirits written in the Qing dynasty. Many have been adapted into live-action form, particularly in TVB’s Dark Tales. It is said that Pu Songling opened a tea house and offered free drinks to travelers in exchange for their stories. I’m intrigued with this new take on his life, but the last mythical series released were complete duds. Please don’t disappoint this time!
Mysteries of Love (談情說案)
Cast: Raymond Lam, Tavia Yeung, Kenneth Ma, Bernice Liu, etc.
Get the Flash Player to see this player.
I love series with scientific themes, and it’s refreshing to see Raymond Lam and Tavia Yeung in new roles. However, there are some bits of cheesy dialogue. I’m still going to give this one a chance.
