Blood River 暗河傳 (Chinese Series OST)
Blood River 暗河傳 (Ànhé Zhuàn* direct translation is Tales of Dark River) is a 38-episode Chinese wuxia series which premiered on October 20, 2025. It is adapted from the webnovel of the same name by Zhou Mu Nan 周木楠. Two of the author’s other novels in the same series have already been adapted into drama series previously – Dashing Youth 少年白馬醉春風 in 2024 (prequel to Blood River), and The Blood of Youth 少年歌行 in 2022 (sequel to Blood River). There is also another sequel The Blood of Youth Season 2 少年歌行之南明離火 yet to come.
* Note: 傳 here is a noun, so it should be pronounced as zhuàn, NOT chuán! I’ve seen a few sites romanized the Chinese title as Anhe Chuan which is incorrect.

You Are My Glory (TV Series OST) 電視劇《你是我的榮耀》片頭片尾插曲
You Are My Glory 你是我的榮耀 is a 32-episode webdrama that premiered on July 26, 2021 and just ended its first run on August 30, 2021. Seriously, another Chinese drama title that started with You Are My…? In the past year or so, we already have You Are My Destiny, then You Are My Hero, and now You Are My Glory??? You would have thought they are sequels or something, but no, just trying to cash in with the title, like the way they used something, something 令 as Chinese title for a lot of historical period costume dramas recently, LOL… To be honest, I haven’t really been paying much attention to Chinese dramas lately and mostly been just reading one BL novel after another the last few weeks, so I need to catch up with a few new dramas’ OST and also lots of new songs being released by some of my favourite singers in the last few weeks!

Rattan (TV OST Songs) 電視劇《司藤》主題曲片尾曲插曲
Rattan 司藤 is another popular TV series on air at the moment. It premiered on March 8, 2021 and it is based on a novel with the same name with a supernatural, fantasy, time-travelling storyline which rather intrigues me, so I am going to put it on my future to-watch list for the moment. It has a 7.9/10 ratings at Douban from 107,128 viewers’ votes as of today, so at least it is not a rubbish series, LOL… I listened to the main theme song this morning and loved it. It is sung by Liu Yuning who has become an OST specialist as it seems he is singing at least one song in most recent TV series! I also checked out the other songs from the OST and they are not bad either… So here they are…

You Are My Hero (TV OST Songs) 電視劇《你是我的城池營壘》主題曲片尾曲插曲
This is a new 40-episode TV series that began airing on March 11, 2021. The TV series is based on the same-name novel by Mu Qing Yu 沐清雨. I only knew about this new series due to the closing theme song which appeared as a YouTube recommendation. I like the song, so I checked up on the series, and on Douban ratings, it is currently at 8.1/10 ratings after only a week from 42,496 viewers’ votes. It has been compared to the 2016 Korean drama Descendants of the Sun due to the two protagonists being a special forces personnel and a doctor.

To Dear Myself (TV Theme Songs) 電視劇《親愛的自己》主題片尾曲插曲
Just heard some songs from this new TV series, To Dear Myself 親愛的自己, and love the closing credits song which is also the main theme song sung by Zhu Yilong 朱一龍 who also starred in the series. Well, you would remember him from the series, Guardian 鎮魂, from 2018 if you have watched that series. There is also an interesting name involved in post-production on some of the songs, namely Ayanga 阿雲嘎, who is known more as a theactrical actor and singer. There are only audio versions of the 4 songs so far, will add full MV if they release them in the future.
