So I haven’t heard any credible melons on when Tencent will premiere Guardians of the Dafeng but with lunar new year holidays underway it may come during the next big holiday time period since this is one of the higher profile dramas on deck. The drama reached 1 million reservations last November and now has broken 2 million reservations so … Continue reading →
Netflix has high hopes for the 2024 K-drama season after a lackluster 2023 with the exception of The Glory. Aside from Squid Game 2 being the most high profile, along with Sweet Home 3 and Hellbound 2 additional sequels, they have on deck The Trunk (The Suitcase) as a high brow psychological drama about a woman who does contract marriages … Continue reading →
The cast of this C-drama was probably the first production to kick off filming in 2024, as the filming commenced on January 2nd and the cast has been hard at work in Hendian since. The drama is called Moonlit Reunion (Zi Ye Gui or Midnight Return) and is adapted from a novel but not of the same title. Starring Xu … Continue reading →
I’m not quite sure what we’re getting with the K-drama Queen of Tears but I don’t care much since it’s all about the return of Kim Soo Hyun as a drama male lead in two years and paired with Kim Ji Won. The drama released yummy new stills that frame both leads so beautifully from the camera lens and also … Continue reading →
If we go back just through the decades in our own lives it’s clear that some looks/fashion just worked then but not objectively a good outfit. That’s how I view the entirety of Tang Dynasty in terms of female fashion in ancient China. From the hair to the gowns, it’s a tough look to pull off and kudos to both … Continue reading →
The discussion of the two Chinese Paladin drama adaptations airing at the same time and both flopping with CP4 Sword and Fairy 4 and CP6 Sword and Fairy at least has two different casts. Unfortunately for C-actress Song Yi Ren (Irene Song) she has two dramas that premiered at the same time with period time-travel drama A Different Princess airing … Continue reading →
There are upcoming dramas I am looking forward to but this xianxia hotness on steroids called Burning Flames (Wu Geng Ji) is not one of them lol. The drama stars Allen Ren and Xing Fei and is already off to a potentially lead fandom in-fighting starts as the first trailer just released has upset her side by showing her onscreen … Continue reading →
So it’s a rabbit tail baby for Lee Seung Gi and Lee Da In, how cute and fitting for a wee baby girl. The married couple announced today the arrival of their first child, a healthy little girl baby. The couple married last April 2023 and announced in November they were expecting a baby together. The baby’s birthday is February … Continue reading →
I feel like The Blood of Youth was just a precursor to C-ent trying to make all three male actors happen, from Li Hong Yi to Liu Xue Yi to Ao Rui Peng and I just don’t feel like for any of them. But they are happening in 2024 as male leads and for Liu Xue Yi he is currently … Continue reading →
So I’m all about second male leads and supporting actors getting their change to level up to the lead limelight and I guess it’s time for Ao Rui Peng. The issue is I don’t understand his appeal (yet) so forgive me for thinking Bai Lu is downgrading with him as her male lead in her next drama the xianxia series … Continue reading →
So this is a big much do about nothing but does showcase how cultural tensions forever permeate the relationship between Chinese and Koreans. It’s almost lunar new year and stars along with ordinary folks are gearing up to or have already returned to their hometowns. C-actress Zhang Jia Ning was seen filming a tourism video this weekend that has K-netizens … Continue reading →
So the brief hiatus Dilraba Dilmurat took in 2022 is long over as she’s going full steam in 2024. Last year she filmed one C-drama Sword Rose and then did the super popular variety show Divas Hit the Road. This year she’s going to be filming two C-dramas back to back and will start shortly. She will first film Love … Continue reading →
I love the orangy colored backdrop for this announcement, feels so apropos and cheeky. Netflix announced that it will be airing the Jeju Island set K-drama When Life Gives You Tangerines (Korean title Thank You for Your Hard Work) this year in 2024. The drama stars IU and Park Bo Gum as the leads and will go through eras with … Continue reading →
