So I think there is more than enough room for every single project to be a hit if it’s good, so much viewership is on streaming that viewers are watching multiple dramas/shows at once if one wants. So it’s not a zero sum game like terrestrial ratings where a TV tuned to one channel cannot watch another. With that said, … Continue reading →
This is totally the case of bad publicity being better than no publicity at all.

Well this is certainly a different lead casting than the usual circuit of names and I’m going to keep my mind open especially with the female lead. Production has kicked off for the period C-drama Noble Lady (Gui Nu) starring Chen Du Ling and Xin Yun Lai. She’s leveling up after multiple guest starring and second female lead roles and … Continue reading →
So I think the whole fallout with C-actress Ren Min and her period visuals (or lack thereof) with last year’s xianxia C-drama The Longest Promise was after she had filmed additional period dramas. Since then I don’t believe she’s accepted another period role and looks like it’s intentionally not going to happen anymore. She’s currently in the period drama White … Continue reading →

Her currently filming C-drama Love on the Turquoise Land was supposed to star Chen Zhe Yuan and it was a done deal. Then … Continue reading →
So this C-drama with Zhao Li Ying was supposed to have been cast already but pre-production and budgeting is taking longer so it’s now really locking down the male lead role but with the added success of her currently airing xianxia drama The Legend of Shen Li.
