So the recently aired xianxia C-drama Feud left me massively frustrated but at the plot and less at the leads. I still have a soft spot for Bai Lu and saw that she really tried hard and mostly delivered, at times it did feel like she was playing a prior performance I’ve seen before before but it also felt like … 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 →
I feel like more viewers are watching xianxia C-drama Feud as a hate watch or as an indifferent curiosity watch. It doesn’t matter what kind of watch though because this drama is indeed topping all the popularity and heat indexes since last week and this week broke 10,000 heat index on its own platform iQiyi and is the first iQiyi … Continue reading →
Just like the two lead characters in the just premiered xianxia C-drama Feud have an ultimate immortal love/hate relationship, the response to the drama mirrors that as well. The iQiyi drama starring Bai Lu and Zeng Shun Xi aired over the weekend honestly all those promos showing the two trying to kill each other and/or make out angrily is all … Continue reading →

So xianxia C-drama Moonlight Mystique is winding down its run and will go down as not a flop but not a hit either, got some buzz, heat, and viewership, but not enough considering the draw female lead Bai Lu was supposed to bring in. TBH the story is derivative and the lead couple don’t have strong chemistry, the male lead … Continue reading →
So the same day premiere of two female actress led C-dramas with Flourished Peony starring Yang Zi and Bai Lu with Moonlight Mystique has a winner, and unlike last November’s female actress showdown this one is not a surprise.
