A Koala's Playground Posted on January 1, 2024 by ockoalaJanuary 1, 2024
Two characters in elaborate historical costumes.

So this is the latest and greatest on the airing date for The Prisoner of Beauty. I’m still on the buzz from marathoning the novel, it’s really addicting and the good outweighs the bad parts of it so I’m definitely wanting the drama to air as soon as possible.

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 1, 2024 by ockoalaDecember 31, 2023
Three people holding red envelopes at event.

So this is the kind of tea I love, harmless and hilarious if true and if not then the end result is a good drama rather than a bad so even better. Chen Fei Yu and Wang Ying Lu just started filming C-drama Offering Fish (Xian Yu) based on the popular novel Offering Salted Fish to Master and already the … Continue reading →

Xiao Zhan and Zhang Jing Yi Start Filming Big Budget Period C-drama Zang Hai Zhuan

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 31, 2023 by ockoalaDecember 31, 2023
Young man holding a red envelope.

So this C-drama immediately jumps to the most anticipated releases of 2024 thanks to Xiao Zhan being the male lead, and I actually like female lead Zhang Jing Yi so it’s a win-win. The drama currently is titled Zang Hai Zhuan which translates to Hidden Sea Chronicles and seems like an epic sweeping tale of adventure and romance. I like … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 30, 2023 by ockoalaDecember 29, 2023

Twas not the summer of Yang Yang and boy does he have a hole to climb back out of. But luckily for him, the flop that was Fireworks of My Heart doesn’t appear to be career breaking and also equal blame was placed on his female lead Wang Chu Ran. After the bad reviews he went off to film xianxia … Continue reading →

C-netizens Think Liu Yu Ning is Trying to Change His Reputation of Stealing Scenes From Other Leads by Posting New Picture of Himself Hanging Out with Heroes Leads Zeng Shun Xi and Baron Chen

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 29, 2023 by ockoalaDecember 28, 2023
Three characters sharing a moment in conversation.

So this whole issue needs context and I’ll do my best to provide. Apparently Liu Yu Ning has been accused of working behind the scenes to increase his scenes for dramas in recent years, don’t ask him how he accomplishes it if that is indeed what he does. This is one reason Zhao Lu Si‘s fans went berserk hearing she … Continue reading →

C-ent Insiders Say Cheng Yi Will Not Renew His Contract with Agency H&R Century Pictures After His Summer Hit Drama Mysterious Lotus Casebook

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 28, 2023 by ockoalaDecember 27, 2023
Man in blue traditional clothing, serene expression.

I didn’t watch this drama but it was definitely a big hit for this summer of 2023. I’m talking about wuxia drama Mysterious Lotus Casebook, which takes Cheng Yi out of his suffering xianxia god string of dramas and into a more subdued but still interesting period setting. He’s fielding a lot of project offers right now and also up … Continue reading →

C-actor Zhang Wan Yi had a banner year thanks to Lost You Forever elevating him to great reception but he was already on the up and up and has two period dramas forthcoming.

C-netizens are Not Feeling the Vibe with the 12-year Age Gap in First Posters and Stills of Wu Jing Yan and Wang Xing Yue in C-drama The Double

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 25, 2023 by ockoalaDecember 24, 2023

Filming wrapped a few months earlier for period C-drama The Double with the more lyrical Chinese title Ink Rain Between the Clouds so the drama will most likely air in 2024. It will mark a comeback for leading lady Wu Jing Yan after 3 years and even more pressing after a slew of drama misses after her career making hit … Continue reading →

Insiders Saying the Government Has Not Banned The Prisoner of Beauty so Tencent is Seriously Planning a Sudden Release without First Signing Up Brand Sponsors

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 25, 2023 by ockoalaDecember 23, 2023
Two characters in elaborate historical costumes.

So the best way to make money or at lease recoup is always going to be the way forward. C-ent insiders this week are once again saying the government has not banned The Prisoner of Beauty from airing, likely due to Song Zu Er‘s tax evasion case still under investigation and perhaps not going to result in a formal ban … Continue reading →

Tian Xi Wei Declines Female Lead Role Opposite Wang An Yu in Aftermath of His Disappointing Performance Reception in The Last Immortal

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 23, 2023 by ockoalaDecember 22, 2023
Young man in blue traditional attire, gesturing.

I think this is one where anti-fans are really not at play and C-actor Wang An Yu really just failed to delivered for what was required. He’s been a rising lead actor and this year popular with fans thanks to joining Divas Hit the Road season 5. His side reportedly was banking on The Last Immortal to permanently level him … Continue reading →

Young woman in a shimmering dress by water.

Watching wuxia C-drama A Journey to Love gave me lots of rewards aside from solid entertainment. The discovery of fresh faces (to me) was the best as it means more stars to keep an eye on and check out their future works. He Lan Dou playing Princess Yang Ying was my favorite among the youngest members of supporting cast, which … Continue reading →
