This summer, the long-awaited annual fantasy drama Love You Seven Times will be launching worldwide on August 10, exclusively on iQIYI!
Love You Seven Times tells the story of Xiang Yun (played by Yang Chaoyue) and Chu Kong (played by Ryan Ding), who accidentally got bounded by the red thread while quarreling and were punished to go through seven lives of love before returning to the heavenly realm.
The collaboration between the humorous personalities Ryan Ding (丁禹兮) and Yang Chaoyue (杨超越), who has brought infinite joy to the audience in their past participation in variety shows raised the anticipation of many, with the number of reservations on iQIYI exceeding 2 million on iQIYI before its broadcast. Fans could not help but exclaim at this exciting love story of seven lives!
Adapted from Jiu Lu Fei Xiang’s (九鹭非香) novel titled Seven Unfortunate Lifetimes, All Thanks To A Single Moment Of Impulse (一时冲动,七世不祥), you can expect to see Ryan Ding, who is known for his acting in Moonlight (月光变奏曲) and The Romance of Tiger and Rose (传闻中的陈芊芊), and Yang Chaoyue, a former member of girl group Rocket Girls 101 (火箭少女101).
Jiu Lu Fei Xiang’s novels have been adapted into drama series several times, including titles such as Love Between Fairy and Devil (苍兰诀), The Legend of Shen Li (与凤行) and The Legends (招摇), which are very popular among the audience.
Surrounding the theme of a love story of seven lives, Love You Seven Times comprises seven different settings including the love of a childhood sweetheart between the heiress and the young general and the setting where the weaker one is being taken advantage of, which is something many netizens are looking forward to when watching the drama.
What’s more, the drama is indirectly linked to the 2022 hit drama Love Between Fairy and Devil, further lifting up their anticipation for the drama’s broadcast. Netizens expressed that they could not stop laughing after watching the trailer of this sweet and comedic drama.
The hilarious scenes in the drama included Yang Chaoyue despising Ryan Ding’s old age, which caused a huge age gap between them.
She said bluntly, “I’m only three thousand years old but he is already fifty thousand years old. This is not a love story between a grandparent and his grandchild, but a love between ancestor and his great grandchild!“
What a unique and light-hearted character setting!
The two lead actors, who have been in love for seven lives, have different costumes for their various lives and settings. They are not only eye-catching and good-looking; they are also a really sweet and loving pair.
It is no wonder that the drama frequently appears on the Weibo hot search list even before it got broadcasted!
Love You Seven Times corresponds to the concept of the infinite flow of the eight stories (the seven love stories and the story happening in heaven). The amazing concept and aesthetics of its posters added a strong narrative and oriental fantasy atmosphere to the drama!
It is worth mentioning that the theme song of the drama is sung by Faye Zhan (詹雯婷), who also sang the theme song of Love Between Fairy and Devil titled “Love” (诀爱).
Besides that, other well-known singers including Liu Yuning (刘宇宁), Calvin Hu (胡夏), Taiwanese band 831 (八三夭乐团), A-Lin and other singers are gathered. With so many talented singers singing theme songs of different styles, this luxurious and amazing lineup added to the audience’s anticipation for the upcoming drama!
