Destiny Switch production details
There honestly has not been a huge amount of information released for the Chinese drama.
We do know it is a planned 24 episodes, and that it received its distribution license last year.
It is being directed by Zhong Qi (中麒), with Baidu explaining the C-drama’s plot like this:
“Time Mage Luo Jie (played by Dai Gao Zhen) accidentally transmigrates into Alang, the illegitimate son of a tycoon, with his psychic power manifesting as a pocket watch that controls time.
To uncover the truth behind the original host’s death, he gets entangled in a power struggle within the Qian Gang, crossing paths with police superintendent Ye Si Jia (He Zi Yi) and the quirky Xiao Qi (Fan Wei).
However, he soon becomes the target of multiple hostile forces. It is then that Luo Jie discovers the mastermind behind it all is mysteriously linked to the ‘Whisper of the Void’ and an impending cataclysm…”
Yep, a bit of a convoluted plot, but interesting and unique-sounding at least.
Check out Destiny Switch when it drops on Tencent Video and on WeTV on Wednesday. It does look intriguing, so it may be one of those surprise hits.
