A new C-drama in prep popped up on the radar this week and it’s as Youku modern romance titled The Early Spring (早春晴朗 Zhao Chun Qing Lang).

A new C-drama was announced this week and it’s the just started filming iQiyi period investigative drama Shadow Punisher(魅影神捕 Mei Ying Shen Bu). There is alignment from both C-netizens who dislike the Chinese title and I-fans who don’t like the English title, lol.

There are C-stars that seem to work nonstop from drama to drama and others like Gong Jun I feel could benefit from doing more projects. Right now he only has Tales of Dark River on deck that I’m interested in so this new casting news piques my hope that he will accept.
