So this is like rumor on top of the original casting rumor, but strangely the production and folks involved actually responded to it. Normally with rumors it’s just silence and letting it fall by the wayside. This week there was a big rumor in C-ent that Zhang Ling He, thanks to doing well with recently premiered Chasing Jade, would be … Continue reading →
I like the direction Yang Zi has taken the last three years with her career but not every pick is a winner. Her last drama the serious Born to be Alive set in the Tibetan plains about environmental conservation ended up with less than stellar viewership, reportedly due to the darker theme and too serious pacing. She will reportedly head … Continue reading →

I really thought this drama would be filming already after earlier discussions on the leads close to being cast. But alas, we’re still in the casting phase for Tencent xianxia C-drama Wrong Era (Chinese title Cuo Shi 错世) and now there is a new male lead actor popped up. Ao Rui Peng is now offered the male lead for the … Continue reading →
March 2026 is off to a good start with Pursuit of Jade with Zhang Ling He and Tian Xi Wei premiering to decent reception. It will likely have the first half of the month free of any major competition as right now I’m not hearing of any other big C-drama dropping anytime soon. But towards the end of the month … Continue reading →
