With the flop that was Fox Spirit Matchmaker: Red Moon Pact, I’m not sure if I’ll see Liu Shi Shi back on the small screen first with her earlier filmed Fox Spirit second chapter Love in Pavilion or this just wrapped filming Kill My Sins. Both are 2025 dramas but I’m hoping for Kill My Sins both for the backdrop … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 29, 2024 by ockoalaJune 28, 2024
Intense gaze between two scarred characters.

Striking while the iron is hot is so important in entertainment whenever there is a breakout or buzz. It’s great seeing supporting actors and actresses get noticed but if one doesn’t quickly have a follow up then the momentum seems to die down fast. Cheng Lei was talked about so much after My Journey to You for his acting and … Continue reading →

Mysterious figure against a large moon.

Gotta give it to director Guo Jing Ming (Edward Guo) for bringing something fresh and different to the period drama genre in terms of promos.

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 28, 2024 by ockoalaJune 27, 2024
Young woman in red dress, thoughtful expression.

The gift that keeps on giving in period C-drama The Double continues on and supporting actress Li Meng who played the crazy villainous Princess Wanning in the drama is getting her well-earned attention and limelight for her bravura performance. She was probably the best actress (and maybe the best acting man or woman) in The Double, with only her onscreen … Continue reading →

Historic-themed selfie of two young people.

So period C-drama The Double has finished and there are SO MANY C-dramas airing and on deck that this drama will settle nicely into success but past tense category as immediate attention moves elsewhere. As producer Yu Zheng sits there counting his cash and cackling, he apparently is already planning to reunite Wang Xing Yue and Wu Jin Yan in … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 27, 2024 by ockoalaJune 26, 2024
Four young men holding fans at an event.

So this is hilariously apropos since all four dudes want female lead Yang Zi in the drama Lost You Forever in some form or fashion and crap keeps happening so she can’t get her happy ending (yet) in Part 1 aired so far. Part 2 of the drama is coming on July 8th and the four male leads Zhang Wan … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 26, 2024 by ockoalaJune 25, 2024
Romantic drama poster featuring two characters.

I’m basically Charlie Brown and modern romance and business/work/professional C-dramas are Lucy and the football. Chances are it’s going to be lackluster as all have been prior but I still can’t help but check it out when it stars leads I like. In recent years it’s been She and Her Perfect Husband, Best Choice Ever, Only for Love, The Oath … Continue reading →

I still vividly see Kim Ji Won in her Queen of Tears image anytime I think of her so it’s definitely a fun change to see her debut a new hairstyle this week attending the Christian Dior event in Taipei.
