Summary
Welcome to our monster episode of Pursuit of Jade - we've never done a two-part Deep Dive on a drama before, let alone three! Sarah is joined by Patreon guests Cynthia and Saraiah to discuss the 2026 smash hit Chinese Drama Pursuit of Jade that has taken the Asian drama world by storm. Starring Zhang Ling He and Tian Xi Wei, this historical drama delivers all the feels, swoons and romance that has swept the Patreon away. If you've yet to watch this drama, this episode will give a non-spoiler intro to the drama. Otherwise if you've seen and want to get into all the details, we do that too! This first episode is an introduction to Cynthia and Saraiah as we get to know them and their drama tastes. Part 2 will cover the deep dive on the drama itself and Part 3 answers questions and discusses cultural and language questions raised by the drama. We hope you enjoy our 3-part podcast!
