Talk about a legit come from nowhere air drop. There wasn’t even rumors this one was on deck but then it decided to go to bat on a random Tuesday. Hunan TV and Mango produced period politics and romance C-drama Royal Betrothal with the Chinese title Yu Ting Yao 御庭谣 based on the novel Jiang Shan Wei Ping 江山为聘 or … Continue reading →
Lol, I don’t think the valid complaints on C-drama Overdo are solely with the director Yi Jun, but he’s certainly a part of it and will reportedly feel the first blow back. C-ent gossip says he’s been swapped out as the director for the upcoming period drama Revenge (Ci Tang 刺棠) and the production is currently in talks with a … Continue reading →
I feel like a parched traveler in the desert to see teaser stills for a recently started filming C-drama, so thank you A Journey to Glow! It was indeed a journey to get this made, with the drama announced soon after A Journey to Love did well during its airing and then getting softly greenlit for Yu Shu Xin as … Continue reading →
I could totally see these two K-stars doing a drama especially a few years ago when both were super popular and everywhere, so it’s nicer that their onscreen pairing comes now after their hype era has died down. K-ent is reporting that Nam Joo Hyuk and Han So Hee are in discussions for the K-drama Heartbeat. He plays a man … Continue reading →
A new C-drama in being prepped and I’m rather surprised these two are in discussions for it for multiple reasons. The drama is a period legal drama titled Legally Ladies (Chinese title Dao Bi Niang Zi 刀笔娘子) and is about how women in olden times can be as dangerous and powerful with a pen as with a sword. The leads … Continue reading →
It’s been five years since wuxia C-drama Word of Honor delivered a career breakthrough for Gong Jun but he’s not been able to have another such performance or reception in any drama since then. This might be the closest attempt to capture that lightning in a bottle with wuxia C-drama The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng, with him playing the titular … Continue reading →
I swear that both these guys already did their military service already, alas that was just my mind playing tricks on me. This summer of 2026 will see two talented K-actors take their acting hiatus for their mandatory enlistment in the Korean military. First is Lee Jun Young who actually shaved his list and enlisted already earlier this week on … Continue reading →
A good casting needs a good script needs a good script. It’s forever the tripartite working in tandem that makes a drama succeed. I was super excited for modern romance C-drama Love For You but after watching the first two episodes I just got bored and I like leads Zhang Jing Yi and Song Wei Long and on paper their … Continue reading →
It just three short days since the premiere of Republic era period revenge and romance C-drama Overdo with Zhang Ling He and Wang Chu Ran it’s definitely doing gangbusters online. But most of that is criticism and side effects of the mockery of how poorly made this drama is. First off it’s led to a surge in popularity for an … Continue reading →
The C-drama Overdo with Wang Chu Ran and Zhang Ling He dropped on Sunday the 19th and its a testament to how much buzz was going into the drama that the first reviews are this strong in sentiment. Sadly it’s a negative wave of sentiment as the first impressions are overwhelming a mass of complaints. The AI created opening sequence … Continue reading →
So nothing about this drama is confirmed yet but as always the casting rumors are close to the final selections. Modern romance C-drama As Beautiful as You Want (要多美丽就多美丽) adapted from a Yi Shu novel has been softly inked for Zhao Lu Si since the spring. Production has firmed up a filming start date which is usually due to financing … Continue reading →
Talk about both massive foot in mouth and being wholly unable to read the room. I’m talking about the director of period romance C-drama Key to the Phoenix Heart, which just started airing last week and thus far is doing what is considering rather uneventful viewership. The number one complain and discomfort mentioned with the drama is that female lead … Continue reading →
So the heat of summer may be getting hotter this weekend with the just confirmed premiere date on Sunday July 19th for Overdo (这一秒过火 or This Second Catch Fire).
