I’m a little eyebrow raise on this statistic but whatevers, kudos to Tencent for drumming up interest in it’s new xianxia C-drama The Last Immortal as it hit 6 million reservations of viewers ahead of tomorrow’s premiere. I would have given Tencent’s record C-drama this year to The Longest Promise which had 5 million reservations but it didn’t break 6. … Continue reading →
So I think this is the straw the broke the camel’s back and not the first complaint from Tang Yan‘s fanclub about her agency (also known as workshop or production company). She’s opened her own agency and reps herself but her agency is staffed by her close confidantes and friends in various positions that she trust. This week her agency … Continue reading →
Like all C-dramas nowadays, the bigger the hit the more likely there is criticism, blowback, and nitpicking. I try to cover it even if I like the drama, this year the ones I liked My Journey to You, and Till the End of the Moon had plenty of naysayers, and the ones I didn’t The Longest Promise, Legend of Anle, … Continue reading →

The pre-prep remains ongoing for the drama formerly known as 万渣朝凰 (Wan Zha Chao Huang) but has now gotten a title change to 万花世界 (Wan Hua Shi Jie) which is being called World of Flowers. It’s the story of a strong female lead who transmigrates into different time periods as various female characters and takes revenge on the shitty, lying, … Continue reading →
The solid success of A Journey to Love is both a surprise and a true happiness for me. I love leads Liu Shi Shi and Liu Yu Ning separate and now together in this drama but neither are top liuliangs to drive traffic. This drama is succeeding on the quality of the script, acting, and directing and in one week … Continue reading →
A big milestone was hit by upcoming xianxia C-drama The Legend of Shen Li (Yu Feng Xing or Journey with the Phoenix), the drama hit 4 million reservations on Tencent this week. The last time I saw a C-drama break 4 million reservations was with The Longest Promise with Xiao Zhan and Ren Min, and that was a combo of … Continue reading →
The first BTS pictures are out of Zhao Lu Si in The Legend of Jewelry and it looks like a genuine rags to riches personal growth and evolution story. I’m still perplexed that her fandom so vociferously did not support her doing this drama but it totally makes sense for her. It’s a top billing female lead big budget drama … Continue reading →
So the latest news on period C-drama The Prisoner of Beauty with Song Zu Er and Liu Yu Ning is that it may still air. After Song Zu Er’s tax scandal, the government authorities have not banned her either outright or softly, but it’s the entertainment platforms and production companies that don’t want to touch her right now. The Prisoner … Continue reading →
