Another Chinese bromance drama is coming!

‘Sadistic Love’, a 24-episode period short-length melodrama, is an adaptation of Feng Fei’s novel Zhang Zhong Que (掌中雀), also known as ‘The Bird in the Palm’, depicting the story between an opera actor and a warlord set against a 1920’s backdrop. ‘Maid’s Revenge’ actor Dai Gaozheng teams up with Guan Yue, formerly member of Chinese boyband UNINE, and takes on the lead roles of Helian Zheng and Mo Yutang, respectively

On March 8, Dan Gaozheng and Guan Yue shared a few behind-the-scene stills on his Weibo account as filming wrapped up!

The drama depicts Zheng Helian, an 18-year-old who followed his mother to remarry into the He family, where He Anran becomes his sister and marks his redemption. However, he witnessed his stepfather imprisoning his mother to death. Since then, Helian has harbored hatred towards the He family, burying his love for He Anran deep in his heart. Five years later, Helian Zheng returned forcefully as a military governor. He arrested his stepfather, He Molin, and kept He Anran by his side as a hostage. His sole purpose in doing all this was to avenge his mother. He wanted his family and “sister” to pay the ultimate price.

Meanwhile, Mo Yutang is a handsome actor in the Jianghu, yet he is the master of the black market gang. Despite a dark childhood, he once viewed Helian Zheng as his salvation, describing him as a brother willing to face life and death together. However, his betrayal left him with a crippled leg, fueling his hatred for Helian. After many years, the two finally reunite, but Helian’s feelings towards him remain unchanged.

‘Sadistic Love’ is planned to be released this year. Stay tuned to BLtai for more updates!
