Hi all
Don't think anyone post about the above series yet. It's new with similar plot as the movie by Vicky Zhao. The stars for this series: Ling Xiaosu, Chen Yirong, Li Zonghan and Xue Kaiqi, acting the role of Wang Sheng, Pei Rong, Pang Yong and Xiao Wei respectively.
Just started... looks promising!

Yes, I finished the series.

I'm watching this now too, on episode 12. Liking it so far. It is indeed very similar to the movie version with Zhou Xun and Vicky Zhao. In fact, this drama is pretty much the same story up to the details, but given the much more extended time, explore more of the back story. This gives the characters so much more development.

Random thoughts about the actors and characters:

The Ladies

• I thought Fiona Xie as the newly-human Xuxu was super cute.
  
• Suprised to see Taiwan's ex-Hei Se Hui Mei Mei, Gui Gui, as Xia Bing. She looks much chubbier than the last time I saw her. Her character has been loyal but pretty irritating so far.
  
• Chen Yirong as Peirong is not as beautiful as I remembered the actress to be, and a little grating on my nerves with all the pursing of her thin lips.

The Guys

• First time I'm seeing this Ling Xiaosu actor for Wang Sheng. Looks very average, especially compared to movie version played by Chen Kun. But the character is portrayed to be very upright and likable.
• Li Zonghan as Pang Yong looks pretty good and manly. Much better than the slightly-crazy portrayal by Donnie Yen in the movie version.
