A poster featuring the two main leads has also been released, foreshadowing the kind of feels we are likely to experience from the 40-episode youth romance drama once it drops.

With no mention yet as to when the Chinese drama is due to premiere, a message from YOUKU was also released, reminding Chinese fans where they can reserve the drama as well:

#Our Generation Drama Surpasses 1 Million Reservations# 🔔 Ding-ding! Kuku brings great news!

Our Generation production details

The upcoming Chinese youth drama is based on the novel “Ying Tao Hu Po” by Yun Zhu (云住).

Titled 樱桃琥珀 (aka Cherry Amber) in China, the CCTV and YOUKU drama is directed by Zhang Kai Zhou and written by Zeng Lu (The Story of Ming Lan — which Zhang Kai Zhou also directed — so, yep, these two have worked together before).

The Chinese romance drama also co-stars the supporting cast of Ma Qi Yue (A Moment But Forever), Jeremy Zuo (Melody of Golden Age), Hu Jia Xin (Love of the Divine Tree) and Dong Jie (Flourished Peony).

The Our Generation plot tells the story of two young people who met as children and, years later, haven’t forgotten their feelings for each other:

Lin Qile (played by Zhao Jin Mai), affectionately nicknamed Ying Tao (Cherry), grows up happily under the doting care of her parents in the Qunshan Power Construction Site community, alongside her childhood friends Yu Qi Ao, Qin Ye Yun, Du Shang, and Cai Fang Yuan.

Jiang Qiao Xi (played by Zhang Ling He), a gifted but lonely boy treated by his parents as a replacement for his deceased older brother, gradually integrates into this close-knit group after transferring to their school.

The warmth of Ying Tao’s family becomes a rare source of comfort in Jiang Qiao Xi’s childhood, and Ying Tao herself begins to hold a special place in his life—second only to his mentor-like older cousin.

As time passes, the friends scatter, and Ying Tao, with her amber-clear heart, starts to face the bittersweet trials of growing up, stepping beyond the shelter of her parents’ wings. Y

ears later, the group reunites as teenagers at the prestigious Provincial Experimental High School. Supporting each other through three years of hard work and dreams, they strive toward brighter futures—until Jiang Qiao Xi, whose path seemed the most promising, suddenly vanishes without a word…
