Even though it’s nearing year end but C-drama land still has projects kicking off filming. If all goes well a drama that starts now could conceivably wrap by lunar new year in a few months when everything shuts down for a minimum of two weeks. Wuxia C-drama Immortalis (Bi Xue Chan 碧血蟬) has started filming and the production went ahead … Continue reading →
For once this is a rookie star to main lead casting I am fully behind! C-ent is reporting that iQiyi has cast the leads for its upcoming fantasy/supernatural/investigative period C-drama Immortalis (碧血蝉 Bi Xue Chan) and it’s a fresh faced female lead paired with a very familiar faced male lead. The female lead will be Zhang Wen Xin and the … Continue reading →
There are so many C-dramas airing right now to kick off October 2025 it’s more than enough variety for viewers to check out so not as much need to look forward to upcoming ones. But the first promos are decently pretty for xianxia C-drama The Unclouded Soul with Tan Song Yun and Hou Ming Hao it’s worth sharing. I think … Continue reading →
It’s going to be a busy next week, the first full week of October 2025 with the C-dramas available. Love’s Ambition should be wrapping up, Fated Hearts will be on the full airing swing of things, Yummy Yummy Yummy will drop October 9th, and now we have another confirmed addition with xianxia C-drama Love in the Clouds arriving on October … Continue reading →
With the spate of August 2025 C-dramas ending/ended such as Moonlit Reunion, When Destiny Brings the Demon, and Shadow Love, and we’re now in early September hopefully this month will have one or two good offerings. The first to get a reported airing date (not yet confirmed) is Love in the Clouds streaming on Youku. It stars Hou Ming Hao … Continue reading →
The first stills are out for just started filming period romance and political C-drama Que Gu (雀骨) which the best translation could be Sparrow Bone or Peacock Bone, but the drama will likely get a better English title later on. The drama currently is less being anticipated than being discussed with consternation due to the casting of 17 year old … Continue reading →
I don’t know who is managing Hou Ming Hao‘s career because he’s had a string of female leads that are either considered weak actresses or on the rise and not much help to bring in viewers. There was Chen Du Ling pre The Glory in Fangs of Fortune, then Lu Yu Xiao in Love in the Clouds, then he just … Continue reading →
This is certainly a likely fast fall before a star even got a chance to become famous. TBH I don’t really feel bad because it all happened because she wanted to show off, though young girls tend to want to look pretty and rich so it’s also rather predictable to have happened. C-actress Huang Yang Tian Tian wore over $300K … Continue reading →
An upcoming xianxia C-drama finished filming recently so let’s take a look at Love in the Clouds, starring Hou Ming Hao and Lu Yu Xiao. It’s yet early in the post-production but I do expect this drama sometime in late 2025 to be released. Hou Ming Hao continues to do one drama after another, all looking promising but none being … Continue reading →
If producer Yu Zheng being such a troll online is intentional and meant to keep him always in topics of conversation then he’s doing a good job. And it does translate to more interest in his projects and he has a next drama lined up that he’s producing. It’s titled 玉铭茶骨 Yu Ming Cha Gu and is a male lead … Continue reading →
I don’t think xianxia C-drama Fangs of Fortune would have done better or worse in a different time slot. It premiered and then a week later the two-headed beast that was The Story of Pearl Girl and Love Game in Eastern Fantasy arrived to suck all the attention into their top drama actress battle. But there is and always will … Continue reading →
So another C-actor is being coined with sad sack description of “Hopeless Illiterate” or “Desperate Illiterate” and it’s Hou Min Hao. He’s been in the variety program Divas Hit the Road Season 6 and in the latest episode the squad visited Tanzania and at a senior center Hou Min Hao gave a present to the director that he said was … Continue reading →
So Fangs of Fortune is here and the reviews and commentary on the premiere episodes are per usual quite on point depending on whether director Guo Jing Ming‘s visual style is your jam or not. The criticism is that it’s very posed, the video filter and makeup is excessive and distracting, flowing hair but empty eyes, gorgeous side profiles but … Continue reading →
