Guiding light through lenses, blending the valor and tenderness of the Jianghu into each frame. With spirited strides, dedicating heartfelt craftsmanship to every sound and image.

YOUKU wishes Director Yin Tao (@尹涛导演) a happy birthday! Looking forward to watching Tales of Dark River soon.

The Chinese drama Tales of Dark River stars Gong Jun, Peng Xiao Ran, Chang Hua Sen, Yang Yu Tong, Kong Xue Er, and Zhang Shi An.

No announcement has yet been made about the premiere date of Tales of Dark River, but rumor has it we can expect to see it dropping on YOUKU soon.

Fingers crossed, as I am a huge fan of the Dark River donghua series, so already very excited to see what the live action drama is able to accomplish with the same characters and a similar plot.

As for director Yin Tao, he has a fair number of extremely successful C-dramas under his belt already, including the recent Love of the Divine Tree, as well as Destined, The Blood of Youth, Who Rules the World, Ancient Love Poetry and Love and Redemption.

In other words, Tales of Dark River is very likely to be one of the best Chinese dramas of 2025 if Yin Tao’s previous work is anything to go by.

Enjoy Yin Tao’s happy birthday visual from Tales of Dark River above, while we say a very happy birthday from those of us as at Leo Sigh — as we are all so grateful at the very high caliber of work you create.
