He’s confirmed to go from filming modern drama Our Generation … Continue reading →
This drama within a drama is totally more interesting for me than I think the actual drama will be. It’s going on three weeks now of complaints from mostly Dilraba Dilmurat and her fandom about the unattractive and cheap looking costuming (hair, makeup, and outfits) for the xianxia drama Love Beyond the Grave. To be fair to the drama, the … Continue reading →
There is a reason why the abused stay with the abuser for way longer than they should, and the same goes for artists stuck with Yu Zheng who does a lot to make his stars famous but also milks each star to the max.

Oooooh, me likes! I was not expecting to be all that interested in upcoming period C-drama Fated Hearts (Chinese title 一笑随歌 Yi Xiao Sui Ge or One Smile Accompanying Song). I have a soft spot for drama titles that are punny based on the names of the two leads (like in Sword and Fairy 祈今朝), and here it’s Li Qin … Continue reading →
So I don’t think C-actress Wu Jin Yan is intentionally refusing to announce her rumored pregnancy since she already announced her marriage two weeks ago.
