So this may be the last C-drama to drop before April 2026 ends and it arrive in that air drop stealth mode when you know the platform is just wanting to recoup costs and not drop more on promos lol. Fate Chooses You (佳偶天成 Jia Ou Tian Cheng) with Allen Ren and Wang He Run has arrived in what could … Continue reading →
It was supposed to erase the hot mess that was period C-drama Love and Crown from viewers minds of male lead Allen Ren, as that drama finished airing earlier this month and timing wise it seemed like a good thing that one of his other finished dramas Silent Tides then started airing. It’s a WWII drama set in Macau and … Continue reading →
C-drama Love and Crown feels like if a group of middle schoolers played Mad Libs and then made a drama out of it. Reportedly the script was written/rewritten/unwritten as filming went along and it certainly delivered on that foundation. The ending this week, which I along with any viewer watching expected to be bad, actually outdid itself on just how … Continue reading →
I would love to take poll and find out when other viewers dropped Love and Crown. I dropped at episode 22 and when I checked back this week I realized it has 35-episodes total and I wonder if others have the fortitude and tenacity to watch it all. I was genuinely worried about brain damage so had to quit but … Continue reading →
I’ve been meaning to write about recently premiered period romance and revenge C-drama Love and Crown (凤凰台上 Feng Huang Tai Shang) with Allen Ren (Ren Jia Lun) and Peng Xiao Ran ever since I watched the first episode, but then I started having trouble formulating phrases much less full sentences because this drama is both sooooo bad and sooooo stupid … Continue reading →
The first teaser is out for Youku period C-drama Love and Crown, which like its title suggests involves the monarchy and romance in equal measure. Though it looks way more scheming and political than any actual romantic vibes in the preview, with male lead Allen Ren back to being poker faced and Peng Xiao Ran reminding me so much of … Continue reading →
iQiyi is surely breathing a sigh of relief with the reception for it’s fantasy supernatural period C-drama The Demon Hunter’s Romance. The shelved for nearly two years drama airdropped in early April once the ban on female lead Song Zu Er was lifted and the result was better than expected. The drama got stronger than expected reviews especially for male … Continue reading →
So it’s now all but confirmed that C-actress Song Zu Er can and will be returning to C-ent after about a year and a half on hibernation due to her tax evasion scandal. Last week Youku airdropped her C-drama The Demon Hunter’s Romance but that didn’t mean she could fully come back, it could be a soft lifting on airing … Continue reading →
The reception so far for recently premiere iQiyi fantasy supernatural period C-drama The Demon Hunter’s Romance is like just praying for a C on a test and coming home with an A. The drama had been shelved for the past 18-months during Song Zu Er‘s tax scandal and all iQiyi wanted was to air it and recoup some cost, no … Continue reading →
There is a twist in the iQiyi weekend drama release schedule but take it with a grain of salt. But it’s spreading across C-ent broader than the usual melon so I am hoping this time it does happen. The platform reportedly will air drop The Demon Hunter’s Romance, the long finished and shelved supernatural period drama with Allen Ren and … Continue reading →
Alrighty, there is an actual date now for the reportedly end of November release of supernatural period C-drama The Demon Hunter’s Romance. Mark your calendars for November 26th peeps! Of course having a date leak only means if the hammer comes down the authorities will know when to look but it appears streaming platform iQiyi has been leaking the release … Continue reading →
If I go back through my post history there are at least half a dozen ones about the potential airing of The Demon Hunter’s Romance with Allen Ren and Song Zu Er. None have come to fruition but I think it’s less that the rumor was false and more than the powers that be put a kibosh on it. Now … 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 →
