It’s probably smart timing that the two leads of breakout hit Pursuit of Jade both quickly followed up with another drama airing soon thereafter. Zhang Ling He had Overdo which is close to finishing its airing and now Tian Xi Wei is back on the small screen with Genius Girlfriend which iQiyi released over the weekend on August 2nd. Her … Continue reading →
It’s from a hardscrabble delinquent type character to a cop one next for C-actor Song Wei Long. His next role will not be yet another idol type period or romance drama but will be in a mainstream big budget police procedural Xing Jing Rong Yu 刑警荣誉 which means honor of the policeman. It’s apparently got an award winning production team … Continue reading →
So the fast and not too furiously faced run of modern romance C-drama Love for You (Chinese title Ye Go Gu Tou 野狗骨头 or Wild Dog Bone) has concluded and the drama may actually be worth me giving a second chance. I checked out the first few episodes and was just meh about it, FF-ing more than I should and … Continue reading →
Well talk about a random but could be interesting main lead and supporting lead pairing in a second go around project. C-ent casting gossip says Wang Xing Yue and Liu Xie Ning are in talks for Youku period politics and romance C-drama Chang Ning Di Jun 长宁帝军 adapted from a novel.

I’m so going to have to hold my nose to go into this drama, because I loved the novel so much and adore male lead Dylan Wang but have such an aversion to female lead Meng Zi Yi. So two loves and one no love reason still tips the scales in favor of checking this out. The first look at … Continue reading →

Hunan TV and Mango produced period politics and romance C-drama Royal Betrothal with the Chinese title Yu Ting Yao 御庭谣 based on the novel Jiang Shan Wei Ping 江山为聘 or … Continue reading →
Lol, I don’t think the valid complaints on C-drama Overdo are solely with the director Yi Jun, but he’s certainly a part of it and will reportedly feel the first blow back. C-ent gossip says he’s been swapped out as the director for the upcoming period drama Revenge (Ci Tang 刺棠) and the production is currently in talks with a … Continue reading →
I feel like a parched traveler in the desert to see teaser stills for a recently started filming C-drama, so thank you A Journey to Glow! It was indeed a journey to get this made, with the drama announced soon after A Journey to Love did well during its airing and then getting softly greenlit for Yu Shu Xin as … Continue reading →
I could totally see these two K-stars doing a drama especially a few years ago when both were super popular and everywhere, so it’s nicer that their onscreen pairing comes now after their hype era has died down. K-ent is reporting that Nam Joo Hyuk and Han So Hee are in discussions for the K-drama Heartbeat. He plays a man … Continue reading →
A new C-drama in being prepped and I’m rather surprised these two are in discussions for it for multiple reasons. The drama is a period legal drama titled Legally Ladies (Chinese title Dao Bi Niang Zi 刀笔娘子) and is about how women in olden times can be as dangerous and powerful with a pen as with a sword. The leads … Continue reading →
It’s been five years since wuxia C-drama Word of Honor delivered a career breakthrough for Gong Jun but he’s not been able to have another such performance or reception in any drama since then. This might be the closest attempt to capture that lightning in a bottle with wuxia C-drama The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng, with him playing the titular … Continue reading →
A good casting needs a good script needs a good script. It’s forever the tripartite working in tandem that makes a drama succeed.

It just three short days since the premiere of Republic era period revenge and romance C-drama Overdo with Zhang Ling He and Wang Chu Ran it’s definitely doing gangbusters online.
