Embark on a captivating journey of love and healing as “The Forbidden Flower,” which stars Asia’s Original Heartthrob Jerry Yan and Asian Superstar Xu Ruo Han, makes its much-anticipated premiere on Monday (July 31) at 10:15 PM on Kapamilya Channel, A2Z and TV5.

The C-drama centers on the everyday lives of two resilient characters Xiao Han (Jerry Yan) and He Ran (Xu Ruo Han), who have triumphed over adversities, making their stories relatable to the viewers.

Xiao Han, a passionate man living in his own bubble, has experienced betrayal and a career setback that left him doubting himself and losing confidence. His journey highlights the significance of allowing oneself to heal with time and refraining from forcing things in life.

Jerry Yan’s portrayal adds depth to the character, highlighting vulnerability and a complex past, while also showcasing his affection for He Ran through selfless acts of kindness.

On the other hand, He Ran is a vibrant and expressive soul, who tries to hide her yearning for love, companionship, and freedom.

Xu Ruo Han’s masterful performance brings out the vulnerability and authenticity in He Ran, making her highly relatable and easy to empathize with.

“The Forbidden Flower” also streams on iWantTFC, the Home of Filipino Stories, at 8 PM, with two episodes dropping every Wednesday.
