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 →
So period C-drama Inverted Fate was reportedly going to Zhao Lu Si late last year as the top billed female lead. But that planned has clearly been scrapped as all casting rumors say the male lead is now Hou Ming Hao and he will be top billed. As such, there is no way Zhao Lu Si is doing this drama … Continue reading →
Lol, this could be the top of Director Guo Jing Ming‘s most epic assembly of good looking flower vases into one drama.

Reportedly discussions … Continue reading →

Both February 2026 premieres are done and the opening Douban ratings are decent for both. How Dare You opened with 7.2 and Unveil: Jadewind with 7.0. I … 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 →
The leveling up of the female lead actress pick is pretty clear the drama is aiming for a top lead. The wuxia period C-drama Jian Ge Wu Ling 剑阁闻铃 has already signed male lead Li Yun Rui who is top billed, and in the last two weeks there has been a slew of actress names in talks for the female … Continue reading →
So it’s off to the races for Youku big budget period C-drama Sea of No Return (Chinese title Gui Liang Chen 归良辰). Starring Li Yun Rui and Liu Xie Ning (Sally), filming started this week and the first promo posters are out as well. I quite like it, especially Li Yun Rui’s intense and assertive visuals and pose. I feel … Continue reading →
