Well this is a blast from the past, so much so that one of the leads actually looks like a completely different person to today haha. A long ago filmed and been on the shelf fantasy period C-drama is reportedly getting dusted off and finally aired. The drama was titled The Monkey King 3 (女儿国 Nu Er Guo) and stars … Continue reading →
So period C-drama Inverted Fate was reportedly going to Zhao Lu Si late last year as the top billed female lead. But that planned has clearly been scrapped as all casting rumors say the male lead is now Hou Ming Hao and he will be top billed. As such, there is no way Zhao Lu Si is doing this drama … Continue reading →
It’s a simultaneous two-fer for C-actor Hou Ming Hao this week as another of his filmed C-dramas has premiered.

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 →

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 →

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 →
