This is a new rumored pairing for an upcoming period C-drama and it’s two stars I’ve not thought of working together before. The C-drama Wan Xin Ji (绾心记) from the director of The Long Ballad is about to start production and reportedly the leads will be Chen Zhe Yuan and Wang Chu Ran. It’s a period drama so not xianxia … Continue reading →
I think production sitting on long finished but unable to get airing permit C-dramas should quickly do this method before it’s fully outlawed. C-ent is reporting the Night Wanderer with the cancelled Deng Lun and Ni Ni is readying to air drop the drama before pulling it like BL-drama The Spirealm did earlier. Recently there was talk that another BL-drama … Continue reading →
So I suggest keeping expectations low for this drama, despite the fan love for the original source novel. The C-drama Xian Yu is adapted from the novel Offering Salted Fish to Master and has been in the works for years for live action and manifested it finally with leads Chen Fei Yu and Wang Ying Lu cast last year after … Continue reading →
So this is the drama trolly producer Yu Zheng recently praised as better than Goblin and The Glory, which beyond the hyperbole just seems like so unrelated as this is a xianxia drama and those are just different genres lol. He just wrapped filming for ensemble period C-drama Perfect Match but has already started filming for xianxia C-drama Lin Jiang … Continue reading →
I have such a soft spot for C-actress Yang Mi and it just makes me sad that she can’t seen to turn things around in terms of reviews and feedback on her acting in recent years. Her recently aired C-drama In the Name of the Brother (Harbin 1944) was a foray into the spy thriller genre with a strong leading … Continue reading →
I think viewers are being either honest or stingy with their votes but the latest Douban ratings to come out for additional late winter/spring 2024 C-dramas are all in the 6 range. Modern romance Best Choice Ever starring Yang Zi and Xu Kai came in with 6.4 and female empowerment period C-drama Blossoms in Adversity with Zhang Jing Yi and … Continue reading →
So this drama was filmed a few years ago and hasn’t been intentionally shelved but has taken longer than usual to air. Xianxia C-drama A Moment But Forever is on deck for iQiyi which has submitted the final cut for airing approval recently. It was originally a 31-episode drama and frankly like a B-grade project due to female lead Tang … Continue reading →
I feel like C-netizens come up with stuff all the time for top actress Dilraba Dilmurat and it’s mostly harmless and kinda charming. There was her “angel squat” a few months ago and now it’s her “manga legs”. Reba was attending the press conference for variety show where she donned a high school uniform and since then rocketed to the … Continue reading →
The Fox Spirit Matchmaker series is a big IP for streaming platform iQiyi and it’s almost done filming the third and final chapter and the first one finished two years ago isn’t even out yet. It will be soon though, as iQiyi initially slated Red Moon Pact (Yue Hong chapter) with Yang Mi and Gong Jun for next month in … Continue reading →
So this is totally not on Luo Yun Xi and honestly I’m impressed with how he manages to pull this off. Filming wrapped last week for C-drama Shui Long Yin with him as the male lead, and all the BTS filming pictures to come out of the set was just one ornate costume and hair piece after another on male … Continue reading →
So modern family, work, and romance C-drama Best Choice Ever has been airing for two weeks and would be considered okay with ratings at best. Leads Yang Zi and Xu Kai are in a group drama that spends more time on family and work stuff so those looking for a romance-centric offering this is not it. I tried but got … Continue reading →
So C-ent has been watching the fourth top flower with a drama waiting to air to see how she fares. Liu Shi Shi, Tang Yan, and Zhao Li Ying have all come out with recent dramas to success so Yang Mi has two dramas on deck to compete. Folks thought Fox Spirit Matchmaker would come first but iQiyi went and … Continue reading →
So C-actress Zhao Lu Si and her partnership with Italian couture house Versace is not off to a good start this year. Her attendance in Macau last month got a lot of negative feedback for her outfit, makeup, and her general visuals. She’s tiny and petite, totally beautiful but not the type of towering model looks that can pull off … Continue reading →
