The title for The Longest Promise may end up prescient if this drama keeps on never having an air date. There are plenty of long shelved C-dramas but so far this one doesn’t have a scandal and the topic isn’t (yet) contain anything the C-government wants to discourage from being shown. The drama released two new stills last weekend with … Continue reading →
It’s weird, I’m not a Xu Kai fan probably because I won’t touch his breakout drama Story of Yanxi Palace with a ten foot pole (allergic to palace dramas and Yumama), but I am oddly super looking forward to both of his upcoming dramas. For She and Her Perfect Husband (爱的二八定律) with Yang Mi, the preview really hooked me. It’s … Continue reading →
I really love the ordinary people feel of The Legend of Shen Li promo stills so far. It’s a xianxia drama but it doesn’t make it so over-the-top with bright colors and overly accessorized. A new still is out of leads Zhao Li Ying and Lin Geng Xin in warmer embrace standing in front of a country estate wearing muted … Continue reading →

Well this certainly is much ado about nothing other than annoying devoted fans, for casual C-drama viewers its more like rubbernecking. This week C-actor Wang Yibo is in the news not for his starring role in police procedural Being a Hero with Chen Xiao but for his visuals. Allegations that he’s gotten plastic surgery surfaced again with the drama being … Continue reading →
So this drama finished filming earlier this year and with the sudden drops these days of pending dramas I don’t know if it will air before the end of 2022 or end up being a 2023 drama. This summer had two high profile xianxia dramas in Immortal Samsara and Love Between Fairy and Devil so it’s good to wait a … Continue reading →
It’s been boiling hot where I live for the past few days, kinda ruined a long weekend with me electing to cancel going out stuff and marinate at home in the AC. But it was still too hot to enjoy prime drama marathoning so I still have plenty to catch up on, but who knew I would already be fanning … Continue reading →
There is too much background noise with C-ent and if you’re still fan of their production whenever an extraordinary drama or movie is released then please by all means follow along but know it’s a crap shoot. An upcoming C-drama I’m super interested in is A Journey to Love (Chinese title 一念关山 which has the literal meaning One Thought About … Continue reading →
