There’s only less than two weeks left before year end caps this interesting 2025 year and in terms of dramas there may still be one that will premiere that I’m interested in. C-ent scheduling rumor the last few weeks had it that Tencent will air Shine on Me (骄阳似我 Jiao Yang Si Wo) at the end of December, and then … Continue reading →
There is a new K-drama cast this week and it’s sounds cute in that hybrid mystery-romance-comedy thing that K-dramas like to do. It’s a tvN drama has the literal title My Guilty Person and is adapted from the webtoon Why Don’t You Know He’s a Girl (or also called That Guy is Pretty), and will star Im Shi Wan and … Continue reading →
So it appears to be third time is the charm this year for Cheng Yi, who has had a C-drama premiere near back-to-back-to-back for the past few months. First came The Journey of Legend then Sword and Beloved and now a surprise near airdrop of The Vendetta of An. The weird thing is that his visuals, costuming and hair, are … Continue reading →
So I like to think this was all plotted and planned. That Tencent would release relatively lower budget romance modern C-drama Sniper Butterfly with Michelle Chen and Zhou Ke Yu at basically the same overlapping run as big budget period C-drama Legend of the Magnate with Chen Xiao airing in iQiyi as some sort of ex-spouses showdown. I’ve got zero … Continue reading →
Whether this drama or the leads are up your alley will determine if it’s a miss or you’re speed walking to check out the first episode lol. This Friday December 12th iQiyi airdropped Speed and Love with Yu Shu Xin and He Yu, though a few days later than the rumor, it’s still here to either appeal to your inner … Continue reading →
If feels like Dylan Wang‘s name is attached to every third C-drama big budget project in development and that’s not too far off from the reality. He’s just a buzzy star and still bankable and has his pick of many high profile scripts. This week there is casting news that Hunan TV is looking to sign him paired with Wang … Continue reading →
The reception and run of Love on the Turquoise Land actually makes me appreciate the mega hot mess that was same period airing Love and Crown. That drama was so bad it was basically perplexed hate watching and also elicited visceral rage to talk about it. But Turquoise Land, which had bigger stars Dilraba Dilmurat and Chen Xing Xu, and … Continue reading →
I wrote last week that the drama adaptation of period romance and revenge C-novel The Rebirth of the Malicious Empress of Military Lineage was still going to star rumored most recent leads Dylan Wang and Meng Zi Yi. Despite both their fandoms disliking the other star cast, the production isn’t swayed and still wants them. But one of the sticking … Continue reading →
The first poster for modern romance C-drama My Queen, My Rules is out and it looks typically glossy like all recent modern dramas. This was supposed to be an immediate reunion of Ao Rui Peng and Li Lan Di from their Coroner’s Diary popularity but while he said yes her side said no and the production has to scramble for … Continue reading →
It’s no secret that iQiyi modern C-drama Love and Speed with Yu Shu Xin and He Yu was supposed to have aired this past fall season but got delayed after her late summer scandal. There have been talks about the drama getting on schedule finally but this week there is actual rumor that it will airdrop tomorrow December 10th. The … Continue reading →
It’s wild that I’m typing out next month as January 2026 already, another year’s flown right by. It’s been a mixed bag in drama land for me this year but I’m always keeping my hopes for as I hear about promising future dramas on deck. A new C-drama was supposed to have kicked off filming this month in December 2025 … Continue reading →
The back-and-forth with the casting of period C-drama Transfer Gold Hairpin (Jia Jin Chai 嫁金钗) is over as Youku confirmed the drama and female lead this week. It will be Tian Xi Wei in her first big budget top billed female lead-centric drama, and the male lead is reportedly going to be rising singer turned actor Yan An. He got … Continue reading →
I feel like Dylan Wang fans were trying to manifest this but alas the power of fandom to effect casting decisions isn’t nearly as common as the C-fans like to believe it to be. Last month there was movement on the C-drama adaptation of novel The Rebirth of the Malicious Empress of Military Lineage with new talks that the leads would be Dylan … Continue reading →
