The phenomenon that is smacking shirts (Chinese colloquial slang for wearing the same outfit) has really crossed country and industry lines so much so that it’s a stark reminder that there aren’t that many fashion houses out there. If we take the top ten from France, Italy, and US, chances are there is only so many red carpet, performance, and … Continue reading →
It’s been a great two years for Zhao Jin Mai, with many of her recently aired dramas from Reset to Amidst a Snowstorm of Love and The Princess Royal all sold hits. Plus she has big dramas on deck with Drifting Away and Our Generation and recently landed soon to start filming drama Blazing Sunlight. All of this is to … Continue reading →
When I see how fast C-stars rises and falls can be I am so supportive of the work until you can’t anymore mentality like in pro sports. So stars that seem to be in so many dramas it’s a testament to productions wanting him/her, case in point Zhang Ling He. He’s confirmed to go from filming modern drama Our Generation … Continue reading →
This drama within a drama is totally more interesting for me than I think the actual drama will be. It’s going on three weeks now of complaints from mostly Dilraba Dilmurat and her fandom about the unattractive and cheap looking costuming (hair, makeup, and outfits) for the xianxia drama Love Beyond the Grave. To be fair to the drama, the … Continue reading →
There is a reason why the abused stay with the abuser for way longer than they should, and the same goes for artists stuck with Yu Zheng who does a lot to make his stars famous but also milks each star to the max. This week Yu Zheng went on a publicity rant about the drama Tang Palace Strange Cases … Continue reading →
So it’s a mixed bag with Allen Ren‘s currently airing drama Love of Nirvana, initially it was deemed a flop from the premiere numbers but in recent days has actually been inching up in views and positive reviews. That should be a relief for iQiyi as it’s tapped Allen to be the male lead for the recently started filming xianxia … Continue reading →
So this latest melon on the airing date of The Demon Hunter’s Romance (无忧渡 Wu You Du) is solid enough to share, even if it still can get moved due to unknown factors. But that industry chatter says iQiyi has indeed tentatively slotted The Demon Hunter’s Romance with Allen Ren and Song Zu Er for the end of October 2024 … Continue reading →
A new C-drama has just cast its leads and I love the pairing! Blazing Sunlight a novel by writer Gu Man is getting a drama adaptation and the leads will be Zhao Jin Mai and Song Wei Long.

So this is one of those gossip reveals that make you go “Oh, now that explains it”. Apparently C-actress Zhou Ye has been cultivating a cool and unapproachable image by never smiling on red carpets and in pictorial events for brands at the order of her agency. The order is that she never shows teeth in any picture and if … Continue reading →
Oooooh, me likes! I was not expecting to be all that interested in upcoming period C-drama Fated Hearts (Chinese title 一笑随歌 Yi Xiao Sui Ge or One Smile Accompanying Song). I have a soft spot for drama titles that are punny based on the names of the two leads (like in Sword and Fairy 祈今朝), and here it’s Li Qin … Continue reading →
So I don’t think C-actress Wu Jin Yan is intentionally refusing to announce her rumored pregnancy since she already announced her marriage two weeks ago. This feels more like she doesn’t care to either way and will just keep living her life. It does make for a fun can you spot the baby bump with the media and netizens this … Continue reading →
So the countryside-city dichotomy K-drama genre is still going strong and now we add a twin element. K-actor Jinyoung (Park Jin Young) is in talks to be the male lead of K-drama Unknown Seoul, which will likely star Park Bo Young as the female lead. She will be playing twins who one lives the city life in Seoul and the … Continue reading →
So this genre has been done before but when done right can be so much fun. It’s the do-over genre or the meta story-within-a-story genre whereby one or even both leads know the outcome but want to change it.
