Dylan Wang is reportedly a C-star who not only does his own voice but actively wants to do it and makes time for going … Continue reading →
I don’t know if what makes Wonderland of Love work THIS HARD for me is a chicken (the leads and their acting) or the egg (the directing and the script) but goodness is this the most unexpected C-drama to emerge from the recent scrum of premieres to grab me by the gut and heart completely. There is When the Wind … Continue reading →
