I feel like Tang Yan and her next drama Lady Liberty is trying to capture the same hit and zeitgeist that Crystal Liu did with her The Tale of Rose, big name female lead centric with multiple big name male leads in sectional stories woven through her life. Nothing wrong with that and it’s nice to have her get her … Continue reading →
I feel like period C-drama The Legend of Zhuohua was just THERE, like it existed but it created zero impact good or bad. The drama premiered at the end of August and will wrap its run for VIP this week and the first Douban ratings are out at a decent 7.2 But the early feedback was a lot of criticism … Continue reading →

Starring Jing Tian and Feng Shao Feng, this drama isn’t as buzzy and visually and narratively looks like Destined … Continue reading →

It was career making for her so it’s frustrating to see her new upcoming … Continue reading →

The baby showed up a few days early but I’m sure the parents are thrilled to make his acquaintance. C-actress Zhao Li Ying gave birth to a bouncing baby boy on February 26th, with her original due date in early March so not all that early.

For the past few weeks there have been non-stop rumors that C-actress Zhao Li Ying is pregnant. It’s a pretty ridiculous and far fetched rumor to spread but strangely this one has legs and this week the pregnant murmurings added an additional layer of getting married which is when I decide to at least post about it. According to the … Continue reading →
Filming has started for high profile 2019 period C-drama The Story of Ming Lan, with the mouthful Chinese title of 知否知否应是绿肥红瘦 (Zhi Fou Zhi Fou Ying Shi Lv Fei Hong Shou which means Don’t you know?
