Legend of Anle with Dilraba Dilmurat and Gong Jung Hits 2 Million Reservations on Youku with Murmurings of March 2023 Airing

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 22, 2023 by ockoalaFebruary 23, 2023
Woman cupping man's face in gentle moment

I’m going to chalk this up to the power of Dilraba Dilmurat‘s popularity moreso than her male lead Gong Jun but C-ent fandom experts can chime in otherwise. Period C-drama The Legend of Anle (An Le Zhuan) recently hit 2 million viewer reservations on Youku and the production celebrated with new stills from the drama of the two leads. Usually … Continue reading →

New Posters for Period C-drama Wonderland of Love Turns Xu Kai into Every Noona’s Boy Toy with Jing Tian Teasing Her Cutie

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 22, 2023 by ockoalaFebruary 21, 2023
Couple in traditional clothing, romantic moment.

I don’t think it’s intentional as an acting niche but recently Xu Kai has been on a noona conquering warpath in his C-drama picks. She and Her Perfect Husband was probably the pinnacle of that but he’s also done it in xianxia drama Ancient Love Poetry and coming up he’s going for it again in period romance Wonderland of Love. … Continue reading →

Artistic poster with Chinese text design.

Well this is either the biggest melon ever or a whole lotta wishful thinking. Yesterday a rumor started in the casting circles that Bai Lu and Yang Yang would be pairing up for a high profile C-drama called Northern based on a same name novel set in the Republic era which is after the end of the Qing dynasty and … Continue reading →

Three people in capes posing dramatically.

I feel like SARFT just went on an approval spree recently how else to explain the spate of releases in recent weeks.

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 20, 2023 by ockoalaFebruary 19, 2023
Couple in traditional clothing, intimate moment.

I’ve been seeing clips of both Three Lives Three Worlds. Ten Miles Peach Blossoms and The Pillow Book on my SNS these days and it’s getting me more in the mood for Fox Spirit Matchmaker, when it does air. Fox Spirit is adapted from a very popular game and manhua series and is one of three dramas in the series … Continue reading →

Sudden Airing of A League of Nobleman Followed by Justice in the Dark Leads Fans of BL Novels Awaiting Drama Adaptations to Think the Ban Has Been Lifted in C-ent

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 19, 2023 by ockoalaFebruary 19, 2023
"Promotional image for League of Nobleman series."

So the chatter is on in C-ent fandom of a certain subset called danmei novels (or BL novels) that the unofficial ban on the genre is/may be lifted. Last month a period drama called A League of Nobleman aired that was based on a BL novel and had been filmed for quite some time and was part of the BL … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 19, 2023 by ockoalaFebruary 19, 2023
Casual and formal portraits side-by-side

That felt like a quick filming for modern romance office drama Sunshine with Me or perhaps it’s just the thing called time warping. The C-drama starring Xiao Zhan and Bai Bai He released an official filming wrap BTS video last week to commemorate the completion of filming and also to start drumming up interest in which there are plenty.

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 18, 2023 by ockoalaFebruary 18, 2023
Woman in white attire by tranquil water.

I find producer-director Yu Zheng one of the biggest slimeballs in C-ent but he can’t be faulted here for this decision which is interesting to think about. He recently shared an interview and discussed how his actress Wu Jing Yan under his agency has not done a drama in over a year and explained that it was intentional as he … Continue reading →

Young couple gazing out from a window.

Ooooooh yes please let this be true! I feel like if a Wu Lei drama aired every six months then I would be forever satisfied with one meal while getting hungry enough when the next one arrives.

Two characters under autumn trees backdrop.

The Valentine’s Day drop of romantic OTP posters for upcoming C-dramas has released two for the xianxia drama The Last Immortal (Hidden God).
