It’s probably just coincidental timing that Hana Yori Dango is back in the news these days what with the Japanese tabloids gossiping about the J-dorama leads Matsumoto Jun and Inoue Mao maybe dating and even more maybe getting married. It’s as juicy as it gets and if confirmed they would join another HanaDan drama coupling to go from reel-to-real. The … Continue reading →
I’m still trying to wrap my mind around the recently revealed real life relationship between frequent onscreen couple Hans Zhang and Zheng Shuang. It’s not that I thought their onscreen chemistry was all an act, it was how long its been going on before their going public. Their collaboration is going on five years, which you take into account entertainment … Continue reading →
I went into this weekend’s press conference for the upcoming fantasy wuxia period C-drama Ancient Sword Fantasy to check out my boy Li Yi Feng in his first headlining role, and I left reeling because of Zheng Shuang. It wasn’t just me, apparently she was all anyone could talk about after the press conference and the C-media is going wild … Continue reading →
Looks like the Hans Zhang and Zheng Shuang onscreen pairing is nowhere near flaming out despite the two of them starring in three dramas together as the OTP already. I think they are the male-female mirrors of each other – perfectly pretty and perfectly mediocre at acting. It’s a good thing they have great chemistry with each other and continue … Continue reading →
DId anyone watch Let’s Go Watch Meteor Shower? You know, China’s adaptation of Hana Yori Dango? It’s terrible, but I watched it all for Hans Zhang, playing the role of Domyouji Tsukasa. His leading lady was Zheng Shuang as the C-version of Makino, and since starring in the two C-HanaDans, they’ve also worked on a movie and another drama together. … Continue reading →
Upcoming modern C-drama SOP Queen held a press conference this week to prepare for the drama’s premiere on July 15th. Leads Chen Qiao En, Hans Zhang, and Godfrey Gao were all on hand looking happy and tanned, a sure sign they enjoyed making this drama. Chen Qiao En even got simultaneous cheek pecks from both her leading men, which is … Continue reading →
When I wrote about the upcoming C-drama SOP Queen with Chen Qiao En and Hans Zhang last week, I was surprised it garnered so much interest, with folks wanting to know when it’ll air. I thought towards the end of the year, but lo and behold, this drama just got kicked up the roster and will air next week following the … Continue reading →
The already wrapped modern C-drama SOP Queen finally released trailers this week, but there hasn’t been confirmation of when it’s airing. Starring Hans Zhang, Chen Qiao En, and Godfrey Tsao, the drama definitely went all out on location shoots in London for a month before wrapping up in Shanghai and Taipei. The title is about being a “leftover girl” which … Continue reading →
I blame Autumn in my Heart for my Song Seung Heon love, and now I can blame it’s C-drama remake Fall in Love for my Hans Zhang crush. The boy is as close to a mini Heon oppa as I’ve ever seen, just as cute and equally cannot act. Clearly made just for me to swoon over. Hmmmm, yummy. I … Continue reading →
This may be a one-off post, perhaps an ongoing series, or maybe once in a blue moon when I’m drunk and bitter. Recently I’ve been quietly watching some dramas that aren’t just bad (and stupid), it’s unbelievably so much so that I can’t even call it a guilty pleasure drama. I ended up watching these dramas for a variety of … Continue reading →
Another C-TW-drama held a press conference last week though it’s already in the midst of filming, which appears to be the norm these days. The name of the drama is tentatively called SOP Queen (胜女的代价 which literally translates as The Price of Being a High Powered Single Woman), and stars Chen Qiao En, Hans Zhang (one of the C-version of … Continue reading →
