As summer draws to an end with many exciting period and modern dramas, we’re ushering in several new dramas on iQIYI! Upcoming Chinese-style sci-fi drama You From The Future, will begin to air on 4 August, bringing you a refreshing take on the genre. The drama marks the third collaboration between the main casts Luo Zheng and Ji Meihan, which is well anticipated by all!
Following high school romance drama Make My Heart Smile and costume romance drama Oh My Lord, You from the Future is the third time Luo Zheng and Ji Meihan are co-starring in a drama together. From the sweet, youthful love in the campus drama to an intense love in the ancient costume drama, you’ll be surprised by the unique two-dimensional love in this drama as the chemistry between the two is absolutely commendable.
Known for his domineering CEO persona, Luo Zheng previously participated in talent variety show Idol Producer in 2018 where he made his official debut. As iQIYI’s international VIP ambassador, he gained popularity through many well-known titles such as Skip a Beat, Time to Fall in Love, Perfect Mismatch and other romance dramas, as many fans favoured his handsome and big boss image. Meanwhile, Ji Meihan is deeply loved by many audiences for her image of the sweet lovely girl in the youthful romance dramas Miss Ye in Wonderland and Silent Love. Who wouldn’t love to witness the collaboration between such a handsome man and beautiful lady!
In this drama, the cold CEO who is keen on AI research and the editor who is immersed in traditional Hanfu culture originally would not have crossed paths, but they accidentally became work partners. The integration of modern artificial intelligence technology with traditional Chinese culture is one of the highlights of this new sci-fi drama. This drama presents the relationship between the male and female protagonists, from when they first started disliking each other to falling for each other while pursuing dreams and love at the same time, rather than the typical plot of “marriage first, love later” or “love at first sight”. Whether you favour science fiction or sweet romantic dramas, this drama is a must watch!
The drama also recognises minority groups through micro-expressions and sign language in the drama, which allow the audience to better understand people with disabilities while creating a warmer and more comfortable environment for them to better integrate into society. This drama marks the start of a romantic sci-fi journey, so let us look forward to the sweetness overload between the handsome, wealthy boss Shen Junyao and the Hanfu enthusiast Xia Mo!
You from the Future is produced by Cui Hongwei and Director Zhou Yong, with Luo Zheng and Ji Meihan as the leading actors. Alongside them are Yang Ze, Chen Siche, Nan Xi, Wang Kang, and Zhou Yuchao. The drama tells the story of Xia Mo (played by Ji Meihan), a traditional, conservative Chinese girl, who meets Shen Junyao (played by Luo Zheng), the CEO of the technology group. Both of them work together to create a robot with the function of retaining traditional culture and combining technology with ancient Hanfu culture. The pair gradually develops feelings while trying to get along, as they face various challenges and start a two-dimensional sci-fi love.
