So one week is the gap with Joy of Life 2 before another big C-drama arrives. iQiyi has confirmed the release of Fox Spirit Matchmaker: Red Moon Pact (the Yue Hong chapter) for this week on May 23rd. Starring Yang Mi and Gong Jun along with a massive cast of supporting stars and guest starring appearances, this is going to … Continue reading →
So with Joy of Life 2 premiering mid-May on the 16th, other dramas are steering clear of it but not Fox Spirit Matchmaker: Red Moon Pact (also known as the Yue Hong chapter), or at least just not entirely. That drama earlier this year was already rumored for a May release and it’s sticking to it. The xianxia drama is … Continue reading →
The Fox Spirit Matchmaker series is a big IP for streaming platform iQiyi and it’s almost done filming the third and final chapter and the first one finished two years ago isn’t even out yet. It will be soon though, as iQiyi initially slated Red Moon Pact (Yue Hong chapter) with Yang Mi and Gong Jun for next month in … Continue reading →
So I think there is more than enough room for every single project to be a hit if it’s good, so much viewership is on streaming that viewers are watching multiple dramas/shows at once if one wants. So it’s not a zero sum game like terrestrial ratings where a TV tuned to one channel cannot watch another. With that said, … Continue reading →
It’s cute that the leads for the upcoming Fox Spirit Matchmaker second installment the Zhu Ye chapter have birthdays just a week apart. Zhang Yun Long is on March 2nd and Liu Shi Shi on March 10th so the production used each’s birthday to release new posters of their characters in the drama. He is Wang Quan Hong Ye and … Continue reading →
I don’t think we’ll see this C-drama anytime soon as the first chapter has yet to air, but Fox Spirit Matchmaker the second chapter Zhu Ye recently released new posters and it just looks so relaxing and poetic. Starring Liu Shi Shi and Zhang Yun Long, I think the production bought up all the green costumes in Hendian studios lol … Continue reading →
I’m just relieved that the three Fox Spirit Matchmaker dramas are all produced by the same company, otherwise it runs the risk of airing against each other as recently seen with the Chinese Paladin drama adaptations Sword and Fairy. The first one the Yue Hong chapter has been done filming since 2022 and is ready for release any time, and … Continue reading →
The first Fox Spirit Matchmaker C-drama adaptation the Yue Hong chapter hasn’t even aired yet and the third one has started filming. Reportedly the production team wanted to air the first chapter and recoup some money from investing through to the third chapter but due to permit and timing it’s banking that all three will be a hit so went … Continue reading →
So this casting news is as funny as watching the Kentucky Derby and the top three neck in neck horses suddenly get beat by one horse that didn’t even make the front of the pack after a last turn breakneck gallop. The leads are confirmed for the third chapter of the Fox Spirit Matchmaker drama series the Wang Quan chapter … Continue reading →
I feel like Liu Shi Shi tends to work in waves and right now she has A Journey to Love with Liu Yu Ning on deck and she’s adding to that with Fox Spirit Matchmaker series second installment the Zhu Ye chapter with male lead Zhang Yun Long. The Yue Hong chapters stars Yang Mi and Gong Jun and has … Continue reading →
So this ought to be airing soon (I hope) as the official preview has been released for Fox Spirit Matchmaker the Yue Hong chapter. Starring Yang Mi and Gong Jun, this chapter predominately red in color and is chock full of Tu Shan clan fox goddesses and deals with their love for mortal men and we all know those pesky … Continue reading →
The casting round robin for the third and last chapter of the Fox Spirt Matchmaker drama adaptation series continues and I won’t be surprised if the confirmed leads won’t materialize until the second chapter currently filming wraps. The Wang Quan chapter is now rumored to star Chen Fei Yu and Yang Chao Yue, with the former still regrouping after a … Continue reading →
I’m not gonna lie and say that C-actor Gong Jun built upon his Word of Honor buzz for me with his most recent period drama Legend of Anle. It felt like he had a one track acting method and coupled with a very passive and restrained character led to a completely deflated performance. That’s why my initial optimism for Fox … Continue reading →
