More stills of GSNK’s upcoming Chinese drama adaptation “The Comic Bang”! (Chinese title: 开画!少女漫 Kai Hua! Shao Nu Man)! Here we have the whole gang~
After some weird???? silence, looks like the drama is finally set to come soon and is listed for a summer release I have trust issues so I will not relax until I see that goddamn Episode 1 uploaded to iQiyi. They even released the OST song up on Spotify in advance \o/ hopefully there will be no more delays!
(check out our tag for more info and photos if this is your first time hearing about the drama!!)
Okay finally I’m gonna talk about Yue Kan Shao Nu aka The Comic Bang aka C-Drama GSNK.
Shen Yue as Zuo QianDai (Chiyo)
Ahhhhh she’s so cute!
Look at the bows!
Also I found a video of her interacting with Jackson Wang and if the show is like a QUARTER as cute as that video I’ll be happy
Wang JingXuan as Lu YeQi(Nozaki)
This is such a random thing but he’s so pretty? Like I always expected Nozaki’s face to be hella generic but this guy is so nice looking. Not complaining though.
The grey blazer. It persists!
The videos of him and Shen Yue interacting are so wholesome! They have a good vibe together I think that’ll be super good for onscreen chemistry.
Zhou YanChen as Chai ZiYu(Mikorin)
HI SORRY REAL QUICK I KNOW THIS GUY HE WAS ON IDOL PRODUCER. I was rooting for him he had to perform when he was hella sick and you can’t tell.
Okay back to the show.
It doesn’t look like they’re doing the whole “bad boy” image thing he seems like a nice young man.
Their dedication to keeping the looks fairly realistic and still having red hair is commendable it looks good.
Jenny Zeng as Zhao JieYue(Seo)
I’m curious if they’ll keep Seo’s personality the same or change it. Idk enough about C drama character types to say for sure.
She was on Youth With You season 2. She’s very talented I hope they have her actually sing as Lorelei.
She really does look like Seo like her face is very Seo I can’t explain why but she does.
Wu Yu Heng as Jiang Ruo Song(Wakamatsu)
Look at him! Studying manga! He looks so into it.
WHY WERE ALL THESE ACTORS ON SURVIVAL SHOWS THIS GUY WAS ON THE MALE PRODUCE CAMP SEASON. I mean he’s talented so its fine but still.
I always forget that canonically Wakamatsu is REALLY hot bc he’s such a dork but if they keep that personality this is going to be so freaking funny.
Zhao Yi Qin as Gu Zheng Xing(Hori)
I have no explanation as to why but like. This is Hori. Like his face. He looks like Hori. That’s Hori.
His acting is so cute and sweet in the one drama I’ve seen by him(it was called sweet sweet it was about magic ice cream it was fun) so if they keep the personality from the manga this is going to be SO FUNNY.
The ONE downside is that he’s not short. Like he’s 5’11 that isn’t short especially compared to Kashima’s actress who’s only like 5’6 so I’m curious what joke they’ll replace the short jokes with.
Rachel Wang as Luo Dao(Kashima)
She’s so pretty.
Apparently she’s very fierce/confident so it’ll be interesting to see how she plays Kashima everyone’s favorite airhead genius.
Seriously she’s got like an e girl aesthetic she’s so chic.
Also I love her outfit? Like I know it’s simple but idk it just really fits.
After much buzz and anticipation, we finally have an official trailer of GSNK’s upcoming Chinese drama adaptation “The Comic Bang” (Chinese title: 开画!少女漫 Kai Hua! Shao Nu Man)! Check out our gang in their live-action glory and bringing all our fave wacky manga scenes to life \o/ no release date yet, but this will be on iQIYI!

It's been a while since I updated on The Comic Bang/Live-action c-drama Gekkan Shojo Nozaki-kun stuff. But their official weibo just posted the following message:
We miss you guys! Hoping to see you this summer.
iQiyi has yet announced their official Q3 line-up but The Comic Bang is listed as the first title in their "TV drama coming soon" category. An official date should be dropping any moment now.
For overseas fans, please head to iQiyi's international homepage for more. Now would be a good time to figure out from your side of the world how to subscribe and watch the drama as soon as it drops.
The series is currently listed as 38 episodes though this may not be final.
In the meantime, a recent variety series titled "Joyful Grown-ups" dropped on MangoTV (that''s a totally different platform so you might have to figure that one out as well) featuring Shen Yue, Wang Jingxuan, Wu Yuheng and Zhou Yanchen (plus some of their other friends).
Basically what happened was that the actors for Sakura, Nozaki, Wakamatsu and Mikoshiba met on the set of The Comic Bang and formed a deep friendship. They began making travel vlogs together even after the series finished filming. The vlogs became so popular, they got their own variety show which is basically hour-long vlogs of them just doing fun things together. It's not scripted, and they almost do everything (music, filming, etc) on their own. I haven't got around to watch the whole thing yet, but for those who want to get to know more about the Chinese cast (and these are lovely kids) or when that eventual post-finale blues hit you, this is something to put on the watch later list.
I'll post again when more info drops about the series! Signal boost so our fellow fans never miss anything!
