And here is the Mainland Chinese drama that I have been waiting for a year to air...hopefully soon: Lady and Liar Plot: {Based on} old school mangas Hakushaku Reijō (The Earl’s Daughter) by Hosokawa Chieko – the long lost daughter of a rich family heads home to be reunited only to suffer amnesia in a ship wreck and have her identity stolen by a female thief, she is saved by a rich and powerful noble who has always loved her and lies that she’s his fiancee, drama and tragedy ensues for all but in the end the heiress rightfully reclaims her identity and picks her fake fiancee over her real first love. Lady and the Liar takes the original manga setting from 19th century France and sets it in 1930’s Shanghai and turns the male lead from a newspaper magnate into a Shanghai warlord. Yes please can I have some more. Hawick does suited arrogance very well and I do like that his character in the manga tells the lie about their engagement to keep the heiress safe from harm but isn’t above using the chance to woo her in earnest. Tony Yang, coming off a well-received turn in the just finished TW-drama The Pursuit of Happiness, plays the second male lead who is blind when he first falls in love with the heiress and later regains his eye sight and has to play catch up to win her back. Rounding out the lead cast is fast rising and talented C-actress Yang Rong playing the second female lead and the “liar” in the drama title as she steals the heiress identity {and isnt above killing to keep her position}. -koalasplayground As I said before, Destined to Love You has a similar plot as this one, except it seems a lot lighter in portraying the story. This drama is a lot darker and may have a huge issue making it thru the censors. I wish they would release the dramas outside of China if it cant be shown there. I really want to see these. I have read a bit of this story online and it is really good. Please Drama Gods, I really want to see this one!
