March 2026 is confirmed to close out with one more big C-drama premiere as Tencent has confirmed the release of Love Beyond the Grave on March 28th. The xianxia romance C-drama stars Dilraba Dilmurat, Chen Fei Yu, and Wei Zhe Ming adapted from the same name novel which was quite popular. This drama got some early negative feedback when the … Continue reading →
So the Tencent period C-drama The One (Chinese title Jian Lai 剑来 which means Sword Comes) has been filming since the end of 2025 and is reportedly close to wrapping production within the month. I didn’t even realize that even though I’m looking forward to this drama since it stars Wu Lei as the male lead and is his first … Continue reading →
Now that is NOT a good look for a star, whether in conduct or that face she’s making. C-actress Xu Ruo Han has been hit with negative press when a video was released this week showing her with a bad attitude on the set of her most recently filmed C-drama The Lament of Autumn. She was filming an outdoor scene … Continue reading →
Ohhhhh this is the kind of petty entertainment industry tea I love! So harmless and yet so much hurt feelings all around lol! This week jewelry house Tiffany held a star-studded event in China where all it’s big name brand ambassadors and spokesperson stars were invited and that’s when it all went down. Top actress Zhang Zi Yi was supposed … Continue reading →
The cute duo of Song Zu Er and Ding Yu Xi are off to the races, with filming commencing for Tencent period C-drama The Palace Stewardess. Fans may notice Ding Yu Xi’s name before Song Zu Er but that’s due to the two being listed based on the number of strokes in their last name as required now by the … Continue reading →
The C-drama Ci Tang 刺棠 (Thorny Flower) adapted from the same name novel went on a casting binge this week. Word on the casting circles is that the male lead is definitely Zhang Ling He, and the female lead will be Wang Yu Wen. Reportedly Li Qin was also in talks for the female lead, but between the two in … Continue reading →
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. His next project will be the fantasy period drama Bao Yao Pu 百妖谱 or Hundred Demon Records. The male lead is almost certainly going to be Deng Wei and current talks are around the female lead. Reportedly discussions … Continue reading →
Those looking for a C-drama to marathon rather than watching live and waiting can now check out both iQiyi comedic period drama How Dare You?! and also Youku investigative period C-drama Unveil: Jadewind. 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 →
