It’s so hard to score in successful projects and even harder to do it on a home run. The safer way is to get base hits and build up that short and consistent game. At the start of next year 2025 C-actor Deng Wei will be going on a year without being on a drama set since he wrapped his … Continue reading →
The amount of time Deng Wei has not been on set (i.e. filming) is long enough for Zhang Ling He to do three dramas lol. That man rolls from set to set and good for him, as long as he doesn’t risk overexposure by doing different genres and roles then he’s always on the front line having projects airing to … Continue reading →
Now this drama isn’t on deck yet or rumored to be airing soon but it’s still interesting to see how much male lead Deng Wei‘s situation has changed in the year since it was filmed. Xianxia C-drama Love of the Divine Tree got Deng Wei his first big top billed male lead role right after he broke out with Lost … Continue reading →
Striking while the iron is hot also means picking the right hills to die on the right now C-actor Deng Wei is looking very foolish after squandering his big break last summer. When Lost You Forever Part 1 was released in summer of 2023, his male lead character Tu Shan Jing was very well liked and his performance garnered a … Continue reading →
The only two characters and stars to emerge unscathed from the hot mess that is Lost You Forever Part 2 has to be Yang Zi and Tan Jian Ci and their characters of Xiao Yao and Xiang Liu. The entire Part 2 run was ruinous for me in terms of adapting the second half of the LYF novel but at … Continue reading →
Those in the know about how C-ent works won’t be surprised by this but it is a good representation to confirm that anything happening is either tacitly allowed or more likely promoted by the stars in question. Lost You Forever Part 2 is past the midway point in its shorter than Part 1 airing length and this time around there … Continue reading →
I feel like Lost You Forever Part 2 arrived almost breathlessly but then took deep breaths to calm down. The first 6 episodes released so far have been motoring through plot points but also quite emotionally downer for everyone involved, other than spoiled her brains out but sweet little chirpy Ah Nian. Cang Xuan gets the throne and a shit … Continue reading →
I feel like everything I read and translated in Lost You Forever the novel came to life in Part 1 and now is poised to do the same in Part 2. It helps that the drama was filming in one swoop as it was never intended to be a two part-er initially. The novel is split into three books with … Continue reading →
My relationship with Lost You Forever will always remain the first and most memorable love, what with how much I lived and breathed the novel during the years of translation. Three whole books people! Which sadly is only going to become a 60 episode drama, with Part 1 airing last summer with 39 episodes and Part 2 reportedly only have … Continue reading →
I’m a nostalgist and also have developed patience with age, the year long wait between Lost You Forever Part 1 and now the coming Part 2 was frustrating when it happened but now feels like a shrug of no big deal. The drama is returning next week and Tencent released the first batch of official lead stills showing Yang Zi, … Continue reading →
So this is hilariously apropos since all four dudes want female lead Yang Zi in the drama Lost You Forever in some form or fashion and crap keeps happening so she can’t get her happy ending (yet) in Part 1 aired so far. Part 2 of the drama is coming on July 8th and the four male leads Zhang Wan … Continue reading →
Am I ready to say goodbye to Lost You Forever and all the rich and multi-faceted characters that reside in the Vast Wilderness? Yes, I actually am, what with it being over ten years since I started the herculean task of translating the novel (three book in length) and with the conclusion of Lost You Forever with Part 2 coming … Continue reading →
So Lost You Forever may just suffer the most of a hit drama getting the momentum wind sucked out of it thanks to splitting into two parts. Part 1 aired last summer and was as closed to what I had hoped for being a mega fan of the source novel. This is probably as good as it gets in terms … Continue reading →
