So last week the on the shelf for three years period C-drama Eternal Brotherhood (Zhi Chuan) finally aired on Tencent in a typically slow period for C-ent which is right after the lunar new year crush. The drama is a short 24-episodes and is a full blown bromance plus war drama with the three male leads Yang Xu Wen, Liu … Continue reading →
So if this drama is a success it will be a big missed opportunity for original male lead Chen Zhe Yuan for letting billing demands lead to a swap out of him with new male lead Chen Xing Xu. The C-drama Love on the Turquoise Land with Dilraba Dilmurat after a very eventful behind-the-scenes wrangling in February will likely end … Continue reading →
I need to thank dramas for making it clear for me whether I am totally in love or in hate with the cast or preview because then it’s easier to dive in fully or avoid completely.

So there is a bit of bad publicity is better than no publicity. C-actress Yu Shu Xin has been criticized in C-drama after C-drama where she dubs her own character and chooses to use an absolutely ear numbing cutesy voice. The only time she didn’t that I recollect was when she dubbed her dark assassin character in My Journey to … Continue reading →
I’ve only ever watched Zhang Ling He in period dramas so this will be a refreshing change of onscreen image for him. He’s signed on for the modern romance C-drama adapted from the novel by writer Sheng Li titled Loving You is the Best Thing I Ever Did.

Okay, who let Ouyang Nana act? I legit did a double take that she’s a female lead in a C-drama but a quick look at her wiki reveals she’s done movies and a few C-dramas already, so I must’ve been just lucky to have not encountered any of her prior works lol. This week Tencent premiered a new period C-drama … Continue reading →
The split reaction to recently airing C-drama Amidst a Snowstorm of Love shows that a beautifully seasonal backdrop does not automatically add points to a dramas watchability. I’m still yet to catch up on that one but the reviews were mixed and next winter I’m sure this drama will air to capitalize on yet another snowy romance season. Yu Shu … Continue reading →

Xiao Zhan and … Continue reading →
