I’ve been hearing that director Guo Jing Ming and his next stylish drama Fangs of Fortune was airing sometime in October but it was nearing the end and still no set date. But here it comes as an air drop as the drama is premiering today on iQiyi. Starring Hou Ming Hao, Chen Du Ling, Tian Jia Rui, and Cheng … Continue reading →
Oh pass me the popcorn lol! Of course this was going to happen when director Guo Jing Ming prepped his C-drama version of Painted Skin and it was revealed that Ju Jing Yi and Chen Du Ling would be playing dual (or co-) female leads. You just know one or both was going to pitch a fit and be top … Continue reading →
The schedule is set for Fangs of Fortune to arrive end of this month October on iQiyi. There is already so much promo for it for months so it’s definitely director Guo Jing Ming‘s fave child for sure, with an ending song dance MV and now an opening credits song MV and also additional trailers and Weibo vids interspersed. Starring … Continue reading →
This is the kind of popcorn I love since I don’t care about any of the leads and if this turns out a great drama it’ll be nice to watch and if it’s a hot mess it will be a different kind of fun to watch. The C-drama version of demon romance drama Painted Skin is in the casting and … Continue reading →
So director Guo Jing Ming is famous for his works focusing more on visuals and aesthetics over all else. If he’s lucky and has a compelling story and good actors then it works like My Journey to You, but most of his stuff just comes off as empty but pretty. He’s planning to make the C-drama version of Painted Skin, … Continue reading →
Gotta give it to director Guo Jing Ming (Edward Guo) for bringing something fresh and different to the period drama genre in terms of promos. His next drama is the xianxia and mystery period drama Fangs of Fortune (formerly titled The Story of Mystics) starring Hou Ming Hao and Chen Du Ling along with what appears to be half the … Continue reading →
Well this is certainly a different lead casting than the usual circuit of names and I’m going to keep my mind open especially with the female lead. Production has kicked off for the period C-drama Noble Lady (Gui Nu) starring Chen Du Ling and Xin Yun Lai. She’s leveling up after multiple guest starring and second female lead roles and … Continue reading →
When I heard the male lead names for the upcoming C-drama Noble Lady (Gui Nu 贵女) I was like “who’s that?” so don’t feel bad not knowing him. C-actor Xin Yun Lai, who looks like K-actor Woo Do Hwan IMO, will be the male lead opposite top billed Chen Du Ling for the drama which in recent months was best … Continue reading →
So this drama got on my radar not because of the cast but because it was filming at the time another drama I was super into was filming, and it’s from the same director Guo Jing Ming. It was initially called The Story of Mystics but now has the title Fangs of Fortune and like can we go back to … Continue reading →
Being a mom I’ve done my share of telling the kids “like, maybe doing that is a baaaad idea, baby” and dealing with either agreement or insistence on going ahead. The decision to make a C-movie adaptation of The Journey of Flower from the original source novel nearly ten years after the hit C-drama adaptation just seems like a giant … Continue reading →
Filming has kicked off for period C-drama The Story of Mystics, which Chinese title went from Bai Zhe Ling 白泽令 to Da Meng Gui Li 大梦归离. The producer and director remains Guo Jing Ming following up from My Journey to You as he returns to period drama land. The leads are Hou Ming Hao and Chen Du Ling with second … Continue reading →
C-actor Cheng Yi had one of the big summer 2022 C-drama hits with Immortal Samsara with Yang Zi so it’s only fitting he’s likely going to join this summer’s airing block party as well. Rumors are that iQiyi will premiere period drama Mysterious Lotus Casebook with three male leads Cheng Yi along with Zeng Shun Xi, and Xiao Shun Yao. … Continue reading →
So this drama finished filming earlier this year and with the sudden drops these days of pending dramas I don’t know if it will air before the end of 2022 or end up being a 2023 drama. This summer had two high profile xianxia dramas in Immortal Samsara and Love Between Fairy and Devil so it’s good to wait a … Continue reading →
