It’s good to have a plan B, or C, D, E, F, lol I don’t know how wide the production of C-drama Hidden God cast the net to so quickly line up a replacement male lead and not impact the filming schedule. The drama is slated to start filming at the end of the month in November and reportedly supporting … Continue reading →
So I skipped Story of Yanxi Palace when it aired in 2018 as by then I had lost interest in C-dramas and also because it’s a Yu Zheng produced drama and that man is the trolliest of all trolls. It also looked like a weaksauce copycat version of The Legend of Zhen Huan (Empresses in the Palace). Yanxi was there … Continue reading →
Oh man, these two were impossibly cute together and a reunion would be must check out for all drama lovers. C-ent casting gossip is saying that Dylan Wang and Shen Yue of Meteor Garden 2018 OTP fame have been casting 2023 xianxia C-drama Sea of Flowers (Chinese title Yue Du Hua Luo 月都花落 Moon Capital Falling Flowers). It’s a xianxia … Continue reading →
Well this is a totally juicy “what the hell happened behind the scenes” rumored casting scuffle. Today an entertainment blogger claimed that reputable sources are saying that C-actor Jing Bo Ran has “ran off” from the soon to start filming xianxia drama Hidden God. What is he a runaway bride lol! He was confirmed last month and the filming was … Continue reading →
Okay, Chinese broadcasting authorities, you drunk and need to calm the heck down. Because randomly pulling a drama a day before premiere and a month later only allowing it to preview out of the blue just gives audiences whiplash. I’ve fully experienced that with modern romance drama She and Her Perfect Husband, which was supposed to air last month in … Continue reading →
True popularity is a combination of timing (right role/right time) and talent and in the cutthroat world of C-ent with countless talents rising and on the rise it’s one misstep and off the cliff. But there are also stars who always seem on the cusp of breaking out but never seem to, and recently there was an article discussing this … Continue reading →
This summer of 2022 was really a two-horse race of Love Between Fairy and Devil and Love Like the Galaxy, and it wasn’t for television ratings are both are web dramas but for buzz and cache. My two cents says both dramas are male lead dominant, i.e. it benefitted Dylan Wang and Wu Lei respectively more than the female leads. … Continue reading →
I love me some good whole C-ent gossip and this one fits the bill to a T! C-drama leads Bai Jing Ting and Song Yi, who just filmed the period drama Chang Feng Du (English title tentatively Destined) together are embroiled in dating rumors. A prominent C-ent gossip blogger outed them are going back home the same residence and even … Continue reading →
Now that filming has wrapped for the high profile Fox Spirit Matchmaker (the Yue Hong chapter) with Yang Mi and Gong Jun, it’s time to over/under whether this drama will air in 2023 or somehow drag until 2024 to premiere. One never knows these days with SARFT regulations and permitting black holes. The drama released new filming wrap pictures of … Continue reading →
Well the interest is definitely there for the upcoming C-drama adaptation of Tong Hua xianxia romance novel Lost You Forever. Unlike the C-drama version of the prequel Once Promised which was soooooo bad and thankfully no one watched it, this one is high profile thanks to Yang Zi as the female lead and a bevy of fast rising male leads … Continue reading →
Okay, this one I can totally chime in on! Today there is a K-news story around viewer complaints on MBC weekend drama Gold Spoon which is actually ending this week. It started off better than expected but then proceeded to tread water with a combination of swap lives/rinse-and-repeat as well as like a bajillion gold spoons all around with multiple … Continue reading →
So I’m 10-episodes into newly arrived youth romance C-drama Lighter and Princess adapted from a popular web novel and it’s as good a time to do a first impression now that the initial Douban ratings are out. It’s got a 7.2 ratings and that feels about right to me, 10-episodes in I like the drama but don’t (yet) love it. … Continue reading →
Man, it looks like oversharing and overshowing was the cause of the abrupt backlash on upcoming romance C-drama She and Her Perfect Husband. The drama starring Yang Mi and Xu Kai was scheduled to air last month before abruptly delaying the premiere a mere two days prior to release and now C-ent is reporting that the drama has gone back … Continue reading →
