I feel old lol but also fairly okay with things that used to bother me, and one would be a star I loved just kinda dimming in career and projects. Turns out people can choose or even allow things to happen and hopefully being in a good spot at the end is all that matters. Former top actress Yoon Eun … Continue reading →
Yang Zi just finished filming the modern C-drama Story of Joy last week and her scheduled for this last quarter of the year will be much lighter. Her period drama next project Flourished Peony adapted from the same name novel will start filming at very end of the year with rumored male lead Chen Xing Xu which may change. Re-shoots … Continue reading →
Well, I don’t know whether to be happy or disappointed but at least it’s set in stone now. The leads for the upcoming Tang dynasty drama The Legend of Jewelry (Chinese title Pearl Curtain and Jade Curtain) are officially confirmed as Zhao Lu Si and Liu Yu Ning, both liuliang stars and a reunion from their secondary OTP turn in … Continue reading →
So the rumor is that Zhao Li Ying is definitely A-list but is capped by her not being theater trained. So called “Ke Ban” which means a graduate of an arts academy or acting major, hence she has not been able to break into the more prestigious C-movies. If that’s true what a shame because she’s got major talent and … Continue reading →
I found C-actress Dilraba Dilmurat one of the best dressed gown and hair whole package Asian stars so far to descend in Paris for the Fall 2023 fashion shows. She was invited by Christian Dior and really matched well with the brands couture and aura. But a new wrinkle came from her attendance after the invitation went public and it … Continue reading →
Social norms are different in various cultures and this is one landmine that two C-actresses stepped in themselves rather stupidly. Blackpink member Lisa has been all over the pop news this week for doing a guest show at the famed cabaret show Crazy Horse Paris, which does strip tease and burlesque dancing shows that are well known and accepted with … Continue reading →
This is a form of self-sabotage so bad it might set a new standard for self-absorbed cluelessness. I’m talking about C-actress Zhao Lu Si‘s fandom, and I really love this actress but her die-hard fandom is toxic and woefully self-congratulating. She finished filming xianxia drama The Last Immortal earlier this year and for the last 6 months has been waiting … Continue reading →
So there’s a big melon about C-actor Cheng Yi this week and his side has brushed it off as he flew to Paris for fashion shows and issued a denial. A well-known C-gossiper claimed that a two named popular actor, who has cheated before and has plenty of dirt, is the kept man of a rich older woman who was … Continue reading →
Climbing the fame ladder is a tricky thing and there are rarely leaps that go from unknown to top star in one jump. Most people climb it lock step and one moment is that weird in-between famous enough and not top level famous yet. Fashion is adjacent to acting so when a star gets famous enough there is usually fashion … Continue reading →
So C-actor Zhang Ling He went from no dramas to what may be three dramas in less than two months time airing. The xianxia drama Tiger and Crane just announced an October 2nd premiere on iQiyi after total silence on this one basically since it filmed in early 2022. Starring Zhang Ling He with Jiang Long as a dual male … Continue reading →
So today September 29th is Mid-autumn Zhong Qiu in Mandarin Chinese or Chuseok in Korean and it’s basically Asian Thanksgiving. Family gathering together to eat and hang out, plus drinking and watching TV together. C-dramas usually release new posters for all the major holidays such as Chinese Valentine’s Day and Lunar New Year and of course Mid-autumn Festival. This year’s … Continue reading →
This feels like a full circle casting at the right time for K-actress Suzy. She’s long shed the idol-actress moniker as it’s been years since she was the idol side of things and in the most recent past year she got lots of praise and also awards for her acting in the K-drama Anna. So her taking on the role … Continue reading →
Man, talk about shooting your self in your own foot intentionally. News broke this week that Liu Yu Ning was in talks to be the male lead in Pearl Curtain and Jade Curtain, which for the last 6 months had signed on Zhao Lu Si as the female lead but had a modeling runway of potential male leads pass through. … Continue reading →
