YM-cut version (only about 3 min long):

For some reason I'm having trouble loading the long one.
From the YM-cut vid though it looks quite promising...finally a more serious drama and a plot that makes sense, LOL!
TLY is the lead here so it's like a reversal of "Gong", haha--YM's character (as a gold-digger girl who ditches her super-sweet college boyfriend for a rich playboy) is the type I'd usually hate...but I guess I'm too much of a fan now because from the trailer I actually feel sorry for her. >_< I should be cheering on Li Chen to dump her but instead I just want him to get back together with her.
Her acting in here also seems a lot better than her other modern-day drama (Symphony of Fate), including her voice-acting, which is funny since this was filmed first. I guess she finds it easier to do serious acting in these serious dramas as opposed to cheesy idol dramas? Haha. Plus this role seems much more interesting/complex/grey than her "goody-two-shoes", "sweet but too typical/bland" character in SoF. (Even though I enjoyed SoF--mostly for the FengMi scenes--and I wouldn't call her acting "bad" in there, it just failed to captivate me like her other roles have. Although again, probably that was partially due to the more boring personality of her Anqi character in there.)
As far as I know this still begins airing on Jan. 07, can't wait!
Other dramas:
In other minor drama news, Tengxun is saying they will be airing Gong 2 exclusively online in the middle of January...which I guess means Hunan will also be airing it around the same time? (Since I can't imagine it getting an online release ahead of its television release.) Too bad...I'd rather they air "Ru Yi" first. (On the other hand, at least this way "Ru Yi" won't clash with "Beijing Love Story" in Jan.)
(Sadly, still no news on my 2 most anticipated dramas, HFCQ and DQZD...sigh. CCTV, what is taking you guys so long...
)
