Set during the Tang Dynasty, Beauties in the Closet 柜中美人 is based on a 2011 novel by Shui He 水合 about two fox spirits sent to the palace to prevent the imperial killings against their tribe. In hopes of hastening the mission, one of them accepts a secret order to assassinate the king.
It serves as a sequel to Legend of the Qing Qiu Fox despite having no actual relation to the former, thank goodness for that. Though it is a Tangren production that will include a reprisal from Sabrina Chen Yao in the role of a fox spirit while Vic Zhou and Hu Bing Qi take the lead as the star-crossed lovers.
I haven't seen a Taiwanese drama in years, which is why the recent foray of Joe Cheng and now Vic Zhou into the historical genre is a welcome sight. More please.
