So iQiyi decided to roll one well received C-drama Story of Kunning Palace into another anticipated drama A Journey to Love and has now hit the double jacket. I just finished Wonderland of Love and was planning to finally start Kunning Palace but decided to sneak a peek at A Journey to Love and now I’m a goner. This drama … Continue reading →
It’s weird to use such a bland description as “good” or “decent” to describe something without it sounding like an insult but for C-drama Wonderland of Love within the context of the period C-dramas this is a genuine compliment. I watched this drama starring Xu Kai and Jing Tian for the last 3 weeks without any desire to drop it … Continue reading →
This is an interesting drama to dissect because there are clearly so much elements at play. Modern workplace romance C-drama Only for Love with Bai Lu and Dylan Wang finished airing this week and a happy ending did nothing to help this drama elevate it’s uniformly bad reviews.

So it’s 13 years in jail and then expulsion for the country afterwards for former C-actor and top star Wu Yi Fan (Kris Wu).

Say what you will about rating websites be it Rotten Tomatoes for movies in the US or Douban in China for dramas but it serves at least a central aggregate of consumer feedback. I find the public ratings more or less accurate, sometimes it’s higher or lower than my personal opinion but never wildly inaccurate. It’s also rare to not … Continue reading →

Goodness is this one of those castings where I think one half is just so woefully miscast I don’t even know how the end result could possibly come out. Upcoming xianxia C-drama Shui Long Yin (Water Dragon Chant) has cast the leads with Luo Yun Xi and Lin Yun (Jelly Lin), with the former capable of overacting but no one … Continue reading →
Call this one gum gate, haha. And I just find it gross more than problematic but C-netizens don’t see it that way. C-actress Zhao Lu Si was spotted in BTS footage during her photo shoot this week with Wang An Yu as the pair ramp up promotions for their upcoming xianxia drama The Last Immortal. Normally the BTS stuff is … Continue reading →
