Beijing Love Story (Chinese: 北京爱情故事; pinyin: Běijīng àiqíng gùshì) is a 2012 Chinese television series co-scripted and directed by Chen Sicheng, starring himself, Li Chen, Zhang Yi, Tong Liya, Yang Mi, Zhang Xinyi and Monica Mok. This is Chen Sicheng's directorial debut. It premiered on Zhejiang TV on 8 January 2012.[1]
The series was one of the most watched during its broadcast. More than 1 billion views were recorded on Chinese video streaming sites by 9 February 2012, just 32 days after the first episode aired.[2] Following the success, Chen later directed a 2014 film of the same name, which was a huge box office success. (Also befitting for a love story, he fell in love with co-star Tong Liya on the set and married her in 2014.)
