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.

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.
