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 →
I feel like K-actor Jo Byung Gyu was thisclose to a breakout after The Uncanny Counter but whatever is the truth about his alleged bullying scandal the fallout is the reality has has to face. His two year break and then less than buzzy return with The Uncanny Counter 2 just shows that stars have to strike when the iron … Continue reading →
So my first response was “who is this” to the female lead but when I read the promos it kinda makes sense what the production is going for. Filming has commenced for xianxia C-drama Offering Fish (Xian Yu based on the novel Offering Salted Fish to Master) and will star Chen Fei Yu (Arthur Chen) and Wang Ying Lu as … Continue reading →
Perhaps it’s so many stars passing in recent years, I feel like since COVID-19 started it has been a nonstop barrage of passing celebs in HK and Asian entertainment. Or maybe it’s the normal amount but just seems like a lot to take in with life harder than usual. 2023 will hopefully end with the unexpected passing of HK-actress Kathy … 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. The drama is centered around the … Continue reading →
So the leads of A Journey to Love are getting plenty of deserved buzz all their own, Liu Yu Ning as Ning Yuan Zhou trending a bit higher than Liu Shi Shi as Ren Ru Yi. But the drama is doing well also because of the strong supporting cast and well developed side characters, when I saw the first promo … Continue reading →
So this beef goes back to earlier this year during the filming of period C-drama Hero Legends starring Cheng Yi. Apparently the production started filming before getting the first approval from the authorities which is a big no no and reportedly the production was shut down and fined after being reported to the authorities. Cheng Yi fans claim it’s Dylan … Continue reading →
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 →
I was going to give Night Blooming Flower and its sageuk noona-dongsaeng romance the benefit of the doubt but looking at the first stills of leads Honey Lee and Lee Jong Won together just make me go “aw nah, pass.” I’m not saying the actual onscreen drama they won’t have chemistry, just that from stills alone I’m getting single older … Continue reading →
Okay, now this is a fight worth fighting lol. This week Zhao Li Ying and Yang Mi‘s fandoms went at each other HARD over who will be the second female lead and the other would then be the third female lead. It’s rare to fight over second/third normally it’s always a fight for top billing. But the project in question … Continue reading →
For once I’m glad the C-government gives no shits and works fast when it wants to put the hammer down. HK-actress Kathy Chow passed away unexpectedly this week and she had long resided in Beijing so her medical care and the calls to the police all happened in the city. After her passing, because the call to the police for … Continue reading →
