The most likely to be a hit C-drama among the four premiering within the last ten days of June 2025 this month is here, and I’m talking about The Princess’s Gambit premiering today June 25th. It could be a toss up which one ends up more popular between this and A Dream Within a Dream coming tomorrow, but this one … Continue reading →
Viewers have eyes and we can see onscreen and offscreen star chemistry (or lack thereof) clear as day. So from the first trailer released of Tencent period romance C-drama Chasing Jade with Zhang Ling He and Tian Xi Wei last month it’s clear the leads have loads of chemistry in character. But this week as the two attended a Tencent … Continue reading →
This may be one of the most expected developments considering what has (or has not happened) since top actress Jeon Ji Hyun signed with her agency Ieum Hashtag in 2022 three years ago. She has done only one drama the Disney+ series Tempest which hasn’t even aired yet. This past week she was in Europe looking her most glamourous self … Continue reading →
The new promos for Legend of the Female General bodes well for the insider chatter that Tencent will release it in August 2025. That’s less than two months from now, but six months longer than the originally scheduled February release that was scuttled due to the scandal and alleged misconduct by the supporting male lead. He’s since been AI-face swapped … Continue reading →
Production has officially started on Tencent produced romance C-drama Biao Mei Wan Fu (表妹万福) adapted from the same name novel with the translated English title of Wishing You Eternal Happiness by writer Peng Lai Ke. The leads are Song Zu Er and Chen Xin Hai, as rumored from the last few weeks. And the vibe is very demure and sweet … Continue reading →
I like to think Gong Hyo Jin accepted that horrifyingly bad K-drama When the Stars Gossip solely to pass the time filming while her husband Kevin Oh was doing his military service. I still can’t understand how she read the script and thought it was a good story otherwise. But it’s in the past now and her future is back … Continue reading →
Their first drama together got only mid reception and reviews but both have since become more popular so this reunion project is a promising possibility. C-ent casting is saying that period C-drama Xing Zhi Wan 行止晚 is now in serious talks with Zhou Ye as the female lead and she has indicated strong likelihood of accepting. The male lead has … Continue reading →
I have no one to blame but myself for watching all of Feud. I don’t like male lead Zeng Shun Xi and xianxia dramas are not my typical jam, and Bai Lu alone who I love is never enough for me to watch her dramas solely for her. And yet it happened, this was one perplexing drama I could not … Continue reading →
The period C-drama Tigers Sniff the Rose has been sniffing around for a male lead for months and this weekend it’s reportedly going to confirm the cast. The big budget Tencent produced period drama has the Chinese title 尚公主 Shang Gong Ju or Princess Shang and earlier this year was reportedly in talks with Zhang Ling He. The female lead … Continue reading →
A new xianxia C-drama is confirmed this week and filming will commence shortly. It’s a Tencent and iQiyi joint production titled Lai Zhan (translated as Coming Battle) and will star Ju Jing Yi and Zhang Yun Long. She’s top billed here and that makes sense when her very large fanbase and she’s a liuliang star while he’s getting shoehorned as … Continue reading →
So last week the casting for this drama was a different male lead but since then it’s changed and now confirmed so luckily no more changes. iQiyi today announced that Yu Shu Xin and Wang An Yu will be the leads for wuxia period drama A Journey to Glow, a companion piece to the 2023 C-drama A Journey to Love. … Continue reading →
The cast has been assembled and what’s left is to see how exactly a live action K-drama version of manhwa Remarried Empress will turn out. The over/under on hot mess versus unexpectedly compelling starts now. That it could even be good comes from a strong and very famous foursome cast of Shin Mina, Lee Jong Seok, Joo Ji Hoon, and … Continue reading →
I don’t know who is managing Hou Ming Hao‘s career because he’s had a string of female leads that are either considered weak actresses or on the rise and not much help to bring in viewers. There was Chen Du Ling pre The Glory in Fangs of Fortune, then Lu Yu Xiao in Love in the Clouds, then he just … Continue reading →
