Pan Yue Ming and Dylan Wang Team Up to Crack Cold Cases in Procedural Modern C-drama Light to the Night

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

I really like C-actor Dylan Wang but I often get the sense that he’s cosplaying when I see him onscreen. In his past dramas he just came off as cosplaying a cold tech executive, a revenge driven fake eunuch, and now he’s cosplaying a grizzly young rookie cop. I didn’t mention his popularity rising turn as an abused but caring … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

The shipping wars during the drama airing for Lost You Forever is nothing compared to what it was like for the novel days.

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

I feel like Lost You Forever Part 2 arrived almost breathlessly but then took deep breaths to calm down. The first 6 episodes released so far have been motoring through plot points but also quite emotionally downer for everyone involved, other than spoiled her brains out but sweet little chirpy Ah Nian. Cang Xuan gets the throne and a shit … Continue reading →
