It’s a simultaneous two-fer for C-actor Hou Ming Hao this week as another of his filmed C-dramas has premiered. Xianxia C-drama The Unclouded Soul (Xiao Yao 逍遥) premiered right after Christmas on December 27th and two days later his court intrigue C-drama Glory (Yu Gu Ming Cha 玉茗茶骨) has also dropped. Thankfully the two dramas are totally different genres and … Continue reading →
The unexpected success of Sniper Butterfly, a small budget no big leads C-drama, feels like the budget version of this past summer’s unexpected hit with Love’s Ambition. Story and set up isn’t very interesting on paper and the leads don’t seem well-cast opposite each other, but the execution and chemistry end up being so good that viewers enjoy the ride. … Continue reading →
This is totally a win-win for all involved but does take away a bit from the drama leads on premiere day. Top drama C-actress Zhao Li Ying has a guest starring role in the just premiered iQiyi xianxia C-drama The Unclouded Soul and immediately she’s rocketed up the search and buzz charts above leads Tan Song Yun and Hou Ming … Continue reading →
So filming has been underway for modern romance C-drama On My Way, which has a much cuter but quite a mouthful original Chinese title of 致我那菜市场的白月光 or Zhi Wo Na Cai Shi Chang De Bai Yue Guang. The original titles translates as “To My Marketplace White Moonlight” which means he’s her ideal guy that she met in a marketplace with … Continue reading →
The filming kick off for this drama slipped by a month from December now into January next month, making it a nice way to start off the new year in 2026. C-ent insiders are saying that filming is confirmed to kick off mid-January in a few weeks for romance modern C-drama Confession (or Gao Bai) starring Wang Xing Yue and … Continue reading →
So I think this will be the last big C-drama release for 2025, arriving just after Christmas and in time for a New Year’s holiday break binge. Youku has confirmed the release of xianxia romance C-drama The Unclouded Soul (逍遥 Xiao Yao) starring Tan Song Yun and Hou Ming Hao for December 27th which is this coming weekend. Tan Song … Continue reading →
The return of C-actress Song Zu Er is definitely one of the big stories out of C-ent this year in 2025 and one of the positive ones with so many negative things that happened in the industry. Her two aired drama The Demon Hunter’s Romance and The Prisoner of Beauty were both hits and her performance garnered solid reviews for … Continue reading →
It was supposed to erase the hot mess that was period C-drama Love and Crown from viewers minds of male lead Allen Ren, as that drama finished airing earlier this month and timing wise it seemed like a good thing that one of his other finished dramas Silent Tides then started airing. It’s a WWII drama set in Macau and … Continue reading →
There’s only less than two weeks left before year end caps this interesting 2025 year and in terms of dramas there may still be one that will premiere that I’m interested in. C-ent scheduling rumor the last few weeks had it that Tencent will air Shine on Me (骄阳似我 Jiao Yang Si Wo) at the end of December, and then … Continue reading →
There is a new K-drama cast this week and it’s sounds cute in that hybrid mystery-romance-comedy thing that K-dramas like to do. It’s a tvN drama has the literal title My Guilty Person and is adapted from the webtoon Why Don’t You Know He’s a Girl (or also called That Guy is Pretty), and will star Im Shi Wan and … Continue reading →

First came The Journey of Legend then Sword and Beloved and now a surprise near airdrop of The Vendetta of An. The weird thing is that his visuals, costuming and hair, are … Continue reading →
So I like to think this was all plotted and planned. That Tencent would release relatively lower budget romance modern C-drama Sniper Butterfly with Michelle Chen and Zhou Ke Yu at basically the same overlapping run as big budget period C-drama Legend of the Magnate with Chen Xiao airing in iQiyi as some sort of ex-spouses showdown. I’ve got zero … Continue reading →
