CP4 Drama Sword and Fairy 4 Opens with 4.2 on Douban While CP6 Drama Sword and Fairy Gets 5.1 as Both Dramas Limp to Conclusion

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 1, 2024 by ockoalaFebruary 2, 2024
Two characters by a serene pond.

I feel like the expected success of xianxia C-drama Love Between Devil and Fairy in 2022 made everyone think that xianxia dramas were more than just niche offerings with the occasional success. Otherwise how to explain the expectations for recent xianxia offerings like The Last Immortal and now both Chinese Paladin game adaptations Sword and Fairy 4 based on CP4 … Continue reading →

Both Sword and Fairy C-dramas Adapted From Chinese Paladin Games are Industry Flops But Consensus is CP6 is Less Bad than CP4

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 26, 2024 by ockoalaJanuary 26, 2024
Two warriors brandishing swords in ancient attire.

It was just a production scheduling screw up that Chinese Paladin 4 adaptation Sword and Fairy 4 and Chinese Paladin 6 adaptation Sword and Fairy (just that, no 6 in the title) aired at the exact same time. Okay, one day apart in premiere but who’s quibbling, or perhaps that’s exactly the same difference in it’s reception. Industry pundits are … Continue reading →

After all that public fighting over billing order for Sword and Fairy 4 (Chinese Paladin 4), this mix up is especially funnier and more karmic for the production company.

Dilraba Dilmurat’s Fans Do Not Want Chen Zhe Yuan as Her Male Lead in Love in the Turquoise Land After the Billing Fan War with Ju Jing Yi in Sword and Fairy 4

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 24, 2024 by ockoalaJanuary 23, 2024
Young man in traditional attire, posing thoughtfully.

It frustrates me to no end when a star’s own fandom ends up being his or her worst enemy, and this happens a lot in C-ent moreso than other industries. In trying to promote and fight for their own star, it ends up leaving other fans disliking said star. The latest backfire is with Chen Zhe Yuan, who just got … Continue reading →

Production Indecisiveness Around Top Billing for Chinese Paladin 4 is a Self-created Problem and May End Up Suddenly Air Dropping Drama with Zero Promos

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 15, 2024 by ockoalaJanuary 14, 2024
Four characters in traditional attire holding swords.

There are so many finished C-dramas with actual problems, like in jail mail leads, a topic that is banned by the C-government, and a cast member under investigation for tax evasion. So Chinese Paladin 4 not airing yet is the funniest shiz because it’s solely self-created by the production and network in signing a contract two years ago with Ju … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 11, 2024 by ockoalaJanuary 11, 2024
Two actors in traditional costumes facing each other.

So there are rumors for the past few weeks that Chinese Paladin 4 would be airing in January 2024. It’s not a big budget drama and was filmed in 2022, plus there is Sword and Fairy based on Chinese Paladin 6 just wrapped filming that would be ready to air soon as well. But this week there is no CP4 … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 12, 2023 by ockoalaNovember 12, 2023
Two characters in traditional Chinese clothing.

So this C-drama has been bandied about for the last two years but the female lead has always been the same with Crystal Liu, one of the top actresses in C-ent and always an S+ first billing in any production. There have been various actors in talks for the drama Chang Ling with Wang Yibo and Allen Ren the most … Continue reading →

New C-ent Rumor Says the Entire BL-adaptation Drama Industry is Fully Banned and No Filmed BL C-drama Will Ever Air

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 12, 2023 by ockoalaSeptember 11, 2023
Character with long hair in snowy landscape.

Well, I think the young C-actors who did BL-adapted dramas need to thank their lucky stars for their big breaks before the entire industry came crashing down nearly two years ago with what was then a soft ban. No BL dramas filmed already would be given an airing permit and all have languished on the shelves. This week a new … Continue reading →

Two characters in traditional Asian attire.

So this is going to be an interesting drama to watch when it comes out because eagle-eyed fans are going to wonder what was re-filmed and whether the three year gap made some of the OG cast look different when back for the reshoots. The Golden Hairpin has been on ice since male lead Wu Yi Fan (Kris Wu) was … Continue reading →

A romantic scene under pink cherry blossoms.

Oh my lord what fresh hell is this?
