We’re into October 2023 and I’m hopeful there will be at least 2-3 big C-dramas to release before year end. One of which is likely modern workplace romance Only for Love, which according to insiders will drop later this month at the end of October. Reportedly Bai Lu and Dylan Wang are gearing up for a full promo circuit in the coming days and will of course do an episode of Hello, Saturday where Dylan is a cast member. While modern C-drama rarely work for me but the chance to check these two out together is a definite must even if I will likely drop it, seeing their chemistry and of course any good scenes is a treat. A new filming shot leaked this week of the two doing a bed make out scene which I’m sure was strategically done to ramp up buzz and it certainly got fans excited.
This casting and drama was first rumored towards the end of last year in December…
So this is the opposite of a C-drama getting cast and having lots of good…
The 2024 Cannes Film Festival kicked off this week and has many more days left…

Probably a scene that exists only as a photoshoot, or if they really did film it it will be edited out for censorship reasons.
Anyway, I will check this out too out of my love for both Dylan and Bai Lu, but I still think that Dylan does not look like the tsundere CEO type, mostly like a 12 year old that has put on pair of glasses and tries to pass for a grown-up.
Ouch
@Nena LOL on point withe the '12 year old to pass for a grown-up' vibe. Especially, in a supposedly powerful positions.
it's very distracting for me to get into the story. And it's too difficult to forget the actor behind castings like this and see the character.
They released photos like this for another drama, can't remember now which one, and of course edited it out of the final drama.
I agree with you. Dylan still looks like a baby and I have a hard time seeing him as a tsundere CEO. I felt the same way with Ahn Hyoseop, who I also think has a young boyish charm, in Business Proposal.
Ouch
It make me wonder, is c-ent didnt have other actor/actress? I mean, i often see 2-4 news drama from the same actor/actress (in the same years) 😬
Also how can you act in many drama in the same years? 😭 Did they not prepared for the deep of each character or understand the script? it make me wonder LOL
I think you're right for certain actors.. they probably don't prepare much and just memorize the script and wing it. But there are other legitimate reasons that result in certain dramas being shelved for a long time, and suddenly they all appear at once.
Their agencies are milking from these popular actors and certainly would get them cast in as many dramas as possible. I doubt these young actors have much say to take or reject a project their agencies suggest. It's all about revenues and profits actors can generate for their agencies. C drama has been prolific these few years while giving false impression to drama fans that C drama is gonna take over K drama. C drama does gain some market share in SE Asia, but mostly with very cheesy, cheaply produced mini dramas. It's in the news. C dramas are getting attention from bigger international streaming platforms like Netflix, but still far from Kdramas when it comes to foreign investors' interest.
Given the vast market inside China, C-ent prolly isn't motivated to produce quality dramas of international level, or at least Kdrama level. If they focus more on quality than quantity for quick financial turnout, the production values may increase.
