So this is basically a done deal unless something drastic happens, the pairing and the scheduling both work well. A new Tencent produced C-drama is kicking off pre-production called Kill My Sins (Chinese title Zhang Xin 掌心 Palm of the Hand). It’s a big S-level female lead top billed drama and will star Liu Shi Shi who goes into filming … Continue reading →
Man, having fans as a C-star is kinda like having a pitbull as a pet, it’s loyal but you never know when it’s going to go crazy and attack others. Lost You Forever part 1 aired this summer and has become one of the biggest C-dramas of 2023 and fans are waiting for part 2 to drop hopefully in early … Continue reading →
I actually think it’s a lot harder to play a nice male lead and make him interesting than to do the archetypal bad boy lover which usually comes across as more exciting onscreen. To which I mean Jing in Love You Forever may be the sweet constant but bad boy Xiang Liu is the X-factor. Kudos to Deng Wei for … Continue reading →
The Lost You Forever glow up continues for Deng Wei and he has enjoyed a summer of buzz and now gets his male lead leveling up. He’s just started filming for a xianxia C-drama A Tree in Xian Tai (Xian Tia You Shu) with female lead Xiang Han Zhi. It’s a fresh pairing for sure and I’m excited to see … Continue reading →
Now that the summer 2023 season is done it’s time to take a look at the biggest male actor wins of the season. I mean a performance in a drama that elevated an actor to yet another level. The biggest liuliang Xiao Zhan did well with The Longest Promise, the drama was meh to start but ended okay and the … Continue reading →
With Lost You Forever Part 1 ending its 39-episode run this week, it’s time for the gradual decompression as a fan who loved the drama adaptation to take account of the good and the bad. That post will come but this one is solely about a standard public matrix of C-drama viewer judgment. The Douban ratings are out and LYF … Continue reading →
Hold your horses peeps because it’s time to binge your brains out, as the final 9-episodes to mark the conclusion of Lost You Forever Part 1 just dropped by Tencent. This was a surprise announced on Monday morning before the episodes dropped that evening so fans were in for a real treat to be able to finish Part 1 in … Continue reading →
I can’t believe it’s already week three in Lost You Forever drama airing, the time has flown by with the only slowdown when there is a break in new episode drops. Thankfully Tencent hasn’t done the 3 days drop 4 days break schedule and instead swapped it which means this Thursday got us all the way to episode 30. It’s … Continue reading →
So Lost You Forever male lead Tan Jian Ci is a regular cast member of variety show Hello Saturday so it’s only fitting that last month in mid July the drama cast went on to promote their show alongside. Also Dylan Wang is a regular cast member and seeing him with Yang Zi makes me think C-ent is overdue for … Continue reading →
So this is to be expected somewhat but is rather pointless and annoying to see happen. C-drama Lost You Forever has become summer 2023’s hottest drama and there is much love to go around, great characters and acting from all four leads and a thoughtful adaptation with well paced execution. Novel writer Tong Hua is part of the production team … Continue reading →
Some folks may think I’m covering the C-drama adaptation of Lost You Forever a lot (comparatively) but those who read my novel translations know I’m probably not talking about it enough. I have so much to say still but am almost too happy with the drama version I don’t know where to start. The five leads are perfectly cast as … Continue reading →
The success of Lost You Forever is all but guaranteed now, mere two days into its premiere. The reviews are excellent and the buzz is record topping, and with top liuliang Yang Zi as the female lead the continued online interest will only continue even if the drama story peters out. WHICH IT WON’T. Haha, I can guarantee it as … Continue reading →
Well this is great news for Tencent and the production/cast of period xianxia C-drama Lost You Forever that it’s a hit out of the gate in terms of buzz and views. Even better are the first impression commentary from viewers is near universally positive and THAT’S BECAUSE THIS DRAMA IS EVERYTHING I CAN HOPE FOR. Sorry for yelling but folks … Continue reading →
