I appreciate Hunan TV for making the effort to kick off super early promos for its currently filming C-drama Live Long and Prosper.

Another period C-novel is getting an adaptation its called The Adventure of Jian Chou (Chinese title Wo Bu Cheng Xian 我不成仙 or I am Not an Immortal).

He … Continue reading →
It’s rarer and rarer to see huge budget S+ level C-dramas as the economy is also not throw money at entertainment level it used to be, so the end of December came the first big male lead led period drama with Guardians of the Dafeng starring Dylan Wang marketed as a make or break it type of project.

Period c-drama Guardians of the Dafeng is now on the second half of its airing and has some notable and ignominious records as of this week.

The C-drama Guardians of the Dafeng isn’t just an oddball in terms of the tone and plot, which I love, but its performance after airing is also really hard to pin down. It’s not an undisputed hit male lead Dylan Wang hoped for like his Love Between Devil and Fairy but does have heat and is doing good numbers in … Continue reading →
