The comeback of Song Zu Er continues unabated and with the slowdown in the number of C-dramas being greenlit for production it’s even incredible that she continues to roll from one drama set into the next. She’s just started filming modern thriller C-drama Cold Silent Night (Han Ye Wu Sheng 寒夜无声) adapted from the same name novel. Her male lead … Continue reading →
I think this project of all the recent year rumors with C-actress Zhao Lu Si‘s return to acting is genuinely likely to go forward. The actress is reportedly going to star in 10-episode modern C-drama Farewell Letters, adapted from the novel Thirteen Suicide Letters by German writer Kostin Gill. She is self-producing the drama hence the industry take this one … Continue reading →
So you can either take away that long running rumors that C-actress Jing Tian is majorly connected with a powerful backer since her debut are true and once again a scandal with her is being downplayed, or that the general public just hates when a scorned person in love tries to take down an ex. Either reason, or a mixture … Continue reading →
I’m so amused by the title for this C-drama and honestly love that it doesn’t include the words blossom, spring, power, or love. Yay for creativity lol! The wuxia detective period C-drama Leopard in Seclusion (豹隐南山 Bao Yin Nan Shan or Leopard in Seclusion in South Mountain) is slated to kick off filming in a few weeks, at the end … Continue reading →
Year ago this drama’s ups and downs wouldn’t even generate much gossip but in the year where there are so few current dramas filming this is definitely gotten attention. Xianxia C-drama Love in the Shell (长生骨 Chang Sheng Gu or Long Life Bone) starring Yu Shu Xin and Hou Ming Hao is back to filming, which normally isn’t a weird … Continue reading →
I don’t think the the casting and production issues around period romance C-drama Revenge (刺棠 Ci Tang) with Zhang Ling He and Lu Yu Xiao are all that unusual or even more than the usual shenanigans that befall a lot of other C-dramas before it. But due to the noticeable decrease of new C-dramas heading into production this year, there … Continue reading →
Another day another disappointing outing for a C-drama. Hunan TV and Mango produced period politics and romance C-drama Royal Betrothal wrapped its run recently and got really slammed on Douban with an opening rating of 4.9. Dipping below 5 is a real zinger and sign that this isn’t just a bad drama it’s got people who watched it mad enough … Continue reading →
As expected and discussed, since big budget C-dramas heading into production are few and far between, C-actress Zhao Lu Si is now adding producer and director to her resume with the production of her first self-financed drama. It’s titled Sonder: I am Not NPC with the tagline “I am the protagonist in my life script!” and deals with four women … Continue reading →
I am just okay with C-actress Peng Xiao Ran onscreen in her drama performances but now I’m a fan of her straightforward and IDGAF response to what is usually considered a scandal of sorts in C-ent. This week pictures were released by paparazzi of her on what clearly appears to be a date or romantically hanging out with a dude. … Continue reading →
So far 2026 has been dubbed “The Winter of Hendian Studios” in that the noticeable decease in C-dramas being greenlit for filming has directly led to the once bustling filming city set to go quiet. Pundits are saying Hendian filming is down a whopping 80% of work and that studio employs so many people who are now either left or … Continue reading →
It’s kinda ironic that former Pursuit of Jade costars Zhang Ling He and Tian Xi Wei ended up having a similar result outcomes with their respective next dramas. Which also further confirms that hits like PoJ is so so hard to achieve nowadays, even stars coming out from a hit can’t really tap that buzz right into lifting their next … Continue reading →
Okay, this upcoming C-drama I am really really looking forward to even if neither leads are my faves. I think Youku period C-drama Sea of No Return (归良辰 Gui Liang Chen) did well casting Li Yun Rui and Liu Xie Ning, a fresh pairing and they look great separately and together in visuals for their roles. The posters have drama … Continue reading →
Another C-drama has kicked off filming and it’s none other than the next Guo Jing Ming directed sure to be visually sumptuous piece. The drama is a fantasy story titled Bai Yao Pu (百妖谱 or Hundred Demon Manual) and has an animated series based on it already called Fairies Album. The drama will star Deng Wei and Ai Mi, who … Continue reading →
