14 Against the Current BTS photos drop – Liu Xue Yi and Tan Song Yun’s drama still filming

Even though Liu Xue Yi and Tan Song Yun’s Against the Current is still being filmed, that has not stopped Tencent Video from already starting its promotion of the upcoming historical romance drama.
That promotion has already included the C-drama’s first trailer, which dropped a couple of weeks ago, and several posters.
Today, promotion arrives in the form of Against the Current behind-the-scenes photos being released via Tencent’s Weibo account.
A great way to rev up excitement for the Chinese drama, with my only complaint being that, out of 14 BTS photos, only two of them feature Liu Xue Yi. Bah!
Those 14 Against the Current BTS photos also came with a comment from Tencent saying:
#Against the Current Photo Log#
It’s the start of autumn! A single leaf falls, and we know autumn has arrived; the summer heat fades as the osmanthus-scented breeze slowly rises.
On the film set, sleeves brush past bamboo shadows, inkstones glisten with morning dew, and the actors’ eyes hold untold tales of seasons past. Their lines seem to carry an ancient charm.

With Against the Current still filming, and a typical historical romance drama taking between a year and two years to be released after filming is complete, yes, it will be a while before we see Liu Xue Yi’s latest drama.
Let’s just hope it turns out better than his recently-ended latest drama The Princess’s Gambit, eh? As saying that was “disappointing” is an understatement.
