And, if you are anything like me and think The Prisoner of Beauty is one of the best historical dramas to come out of China this year, then you need to keep an eye on Escape to Your Heart, as it is from the pen of the same screenwriter and directed by the same director.

The Chinese drama stars Ding Yu Xi (Love Game in Eastern Fantasy) and Deng En Xi (Melody of Golden Age).

Its filming was announced via Tencent’s Weibo account, along with some happy looking photos of the main cast from the C-drama’s booting ceremony.

Those photos also came with a comment that named the main and supporting cast, as well as guest stars:
