I think production sitting on long finished but unable to get airing permit C-dramas should quickly do this method before it’s fully outlawed.

For a solid supporting actress working in C-ent for many years, this breakout opportunity for Zheng Hehuizi feels hard earned and I am so happy for her. She’s so easy to watch in any role I’ve seen of her. But I don’t think she’s now elevated to leading lady status but at least she’s got more biscuits on her plate … Continue reading →

I have such a soft spot for C-actress Yang Mi and it just makes me sad that she can’t seen to turn things around in terms of reviews and feedback on her acting in recent years. Her recently aired C-drama In the Name of the Brother (Harbin 1944) was a foray into the spy thriller genre with a strong leading … Continue reading →
So Queen of Tears was filmed in 2023 and wrapped awhile ago so it’s not a surprise that the leads are scattered to the winds.
