*Hmm… I’m still trying to figure out who this 4th “fab woman” is or will be… Starring: Hu Ge, Ma Yili, Tiffany Tang, Xin Zhilei…
Watching the trailer alone is enough to give me the vibes of “As Tears Go By” and “Chungking Mansion”. It’s so Wong Kar Wai indeed. It looks promising, especially with a cast such as this!

Official Trailer:
Note: An espionage drama set in the Three Kingdoms era. A male-centered plot, suspenseful but apparently with nil romance. It’s highly anticipated (in the C-netz universe). Can’t wait!

Yes, finally!!! Unfortunately, so far no Viki channel yet (not really a surprise though). I’ll watch it when the subathon ends, if I start it now, I’ll be too addicted, lol.

Thanks for the info.
When I first read the synopsis of What’s Wrong With My Secretary. I thought the plot would be something like this one. I was very disappointed after watching it.
This Chinese drama sounds like a mix of Crazy Love, A Business Proposal and What’s Wrong With My Secretary (and also Ugly Betty maybe).
Anyway, I’m very excited! The revenge of the Secretary!
You’re welcome!
You may be right. We’ll find out soon. From the trailer, it does look promising and fun. Plus, so glad to see Lin back on the small screen again. This CP pairing looks cute and cheesy lol.

(not really a surprise though). I’ll watch it when the subathon ends, if I start it now, I’ll be too addicted, lol.
