I don’t think xianxia C-drama Fangs of Fortune would have done better or worse in a different time slot. It premiered and then a week later the two-headed beast that was The Story of Pearl Girl and Love Game in Eastern Fantasy arrived to suck all the attention into their top drama actress battle. But there is and always will … Continue reading →
So Fangs of Fortune is here and the reviews and commentary on the premiere episodes are per usual quite on point depending on whether director Guo Jing Ming‘s visual style is your jam or not. The criticism is that it’s very posed, the video filter and makeup is excessive and distracting, flowing hair but empty eyes, gorgeous side profiles but … 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.

It’s called Deceit and will star Chen Xiao and Yang Zi Shan, so thank god no … Continue reading →
So this could be true and if so it’s two consenting adults and I also don’t want to render judgment based on the disparity in entertainment industry success level, but goodness is this gossip news just weird. A rumor spread widely through C-ent over the weekend that 60-something top actor Tony Leung has shacked up with 25-year old Cheng Xiao … Continue reading →
Well I definitely know a hit when I see one and this one is starting off the summer 2022 season with a bang for C-dramas. A Dream of Splendor (Meng Hua Lu) with Crystal Liu and Chen Xiao premiered on June 2 and in a few short days has inked only positive news.

Chinese, Hong Kong, and Taiwanese stars who are working in K-ent as K-pop idols this week all collectively … Continue reading →
