I'll definitely watch it. ONA series was great. It's really funny and interesting story.

Anyway, if this going to be exactly same as ONA, with changing only voices to japanese and names, it won't be typical yaoi. ONA was fantasy story with few BL scenes. (really beatiful scenes ^_^) The story doesn't focus just on their relationship, but there is much more.

It'll be interesting to see what a Chinese take on BL is like. And the supernatural adventure sounds like fun too. Normally, I'd probably give this a pass, but this Winter seems lacking in many new shows that interest me, so I'll give it a look.

Huh? Isn't it this just the same as the ONA that aired during the summer because I don't see anything different in the PV that I didn't already see before :\ I mean even the music is the same and I'm not ready my precious Jinghua and Duanmu to be called something else. Seriously I just can't get out of my head the way Jinghua says Duanmu's name, it is so freaking adorable.
Nonetheless the ONA was so interesting, cute & funny and their story is so beautiful <3 So if you expect the typical yaoi - well, sorry to disappoint you but it's closer to shounen ai and focuses much more on their relationship
PS: I'm pretty sure it has more that 145 chapters since I've read up to 157

Oops,

Also, I'm not sure if the Japan TV version will air the same ONA content, though.

Yep, that's what what I'm wondering : I just hope It's not the same as Yi Ren Zhi Xia (i.e Hitori no Shita The Outcast) where they will just dub it, change the names and wrap the 20 eps into 10-12 full-length ones. Tho I suppose this is what's going to happen - I mean announcing it just 20 days ahead and a PV that doesn't show anything new. But we'll see in one month :)

Tencent Animation & Haoliners have some really good anime and manhua like Huyao Xiao Hongniang, Shuangsheng Lingtan & Reikenzan. What is sad is that mostly all Chinese ones are underrated and not given enough credit T_T (not to mention that manhua is full color and so beautiful). Even tho I'd love for them to be more popular I just prefer to be left alone with the original language and names. Not in a bad way, but just be given credit despite their original language...

Oh, more BL. I watch anything BL so I will be there. I'm interesting to see how an artist from China may write out a BL.

OK , i think m gonna die ,(cant bare this upcoming happiness) though m bit worried about Voice line up,
once you get use to the real version I don't think the dubbed will have much chance of beating the original,
"Sakurai, Takahiro" V.A of "MISAKI" might be a good choice for "Yang Jinghua" ,AND why the hell they keep changing the name !!!! I HAVE NO IDEA WHY THEY CHANGED HIS NAME Yang Jinghua TO Keika,
IT WILL BE WATCHING ANOTHER ANIME WITH DIFFERENT PROTAGONIST!!!
his name is "Jinghua" "Jinghua" "Jinghua" not "Keika" TT.TT
AND its "Duanmu Xi" not "Ki" TT.TT
