So C-drama A Journey to Love has been airing for 3 weeks and for VIP viewers of iQiyi the streaming platform released the final 6-episodes this Monday with exclusive access. It helps with keeping the interest level high as honestly the last ten episodes have been slowly flagging for me. Overall I found the drama solidly written, a great supporting … Continue reading →
Take this with a grain of salt but I also think it’s more likely than not. A new development in finished period C-drama The Prisoner of Beauty is that the production company is thinking of changing the title along with earlier rumors that it’s prepping for a sudden air drop release. I don’t think it’s a wild possibility as for … Continue reading →
So the two ladies can make this an actual concept haha, lean into girls! Sadly it’s a pretty polarizing flavor, and I don’t mean love it or hate it its more like accept it or hate it. The only people I can imagine loving an actress with an excessive girly (aegyo in Korean or in Chinese it’s called pinched voice) … Continue reading →
So I saw all the hullaballoo around this drama filming at the Shanghai Bund earlier this year, quite a romantic scene atop a double decker bus. The drama is Story of Joy and stars Yang Zi and Xu Kai but really an entire supporting cast of veterans and youngsters playing a whole family dynamic.

So a pre-production xianxa C-drama Love Beyond the Grave (Chinese title 白日提灯 or Carrying a Lantern in Daytime) is accelerating its prep and in in talks with Dilraba Dilmurat as the top billed female lead. Because her revenge life-skipping multiple male leads C-drama is taking so hard to confirm the male leads, if she accepts this one it will start … Continue reading →
Watching C-drama producer and top shelf slimeball Yu Zheng work is like watching the Big Bad in a Bond movie so openly plotting and then wondering why the grand plan didn’t work out. This fall’s period C-drama Scent of Time starring Zhou Ye and Wang Xing Yue didn’t do much for either lead’s buzz or career but was supposed to … Continue reading →
The first trailer is out for Guardians of the Dafeng and I….I just can’t with this. It’s so absurd and not in an immediately endearing way, though I get what it’s going for. This drama preview has the tone of a classic Stephen Chow “mo lei tau” slapstick over-the-top physical ridiculousness written all over it, so you’re either going to … Continue reading →
Xianxia C-drama The Last Immortal premiered this week and is off to a solid start. The initial feedback is just okay, neither big criticism nor big praise, a solid start.
