It’s kinda ironic that former Pursuit of Jade costars Zhang Ling He and Tian Xi Wei ended up having a similar result outcomes with their respective next dramas. Which also further confirms that hits like PoJ is so so hard to achieve nowadays, even stars coming out from a hit can’t really tap that buzz right into lifting their next … Continue reading →
It’s probably smart timing that the two leads of breakout hit Pursuit of Jade both quickly followed up with another drama airing soon thereafter. Zhang Ling He had Overdo which is close to finishing its airing and now Tian Xi Wei is back on the small screen with Genius Girlfriend which iQiyi released over the weekend on August 2nd. Her … Continue reading →
Well if the goal is to trade one very tall actor for another then I guess this works. But it’s totally not the same level of onscreen charisma and acting talent lol. Xianxia C-drama Fairy Meat (神仙肉 Shen Xian Ruo or Immortal Flesh) with female lead Yu Shu Xin was supposed to costar He Yu in a reunion of the … Continue reading →
The perpetual train engine that is C-drama productions keep trudging along and recently I spotted first stills and pictures for one that I’m mildly curious to check out. The C-drama is titled Genius Girlfriend and is a modern romance starring Tian Xi Wei and Hu Yi Tian. It’s an odd pairing but could be in a good way, she’s so … Continue reading →
Chalk this up to serious bad timing for C-actress Tian Xi Wei, and nothing else for her to do but continue to be the consummate professional she is. Her currently filming C-drama Genius Girlfriend just kicked off two weeks ago but right away male lead Hu Yi Tian fell into a romance scandal. He was snapped by paparazzi allegedly out … Continue reading →
Well this is another glimpse at the cutthroat and dirty world of entertainment, though the one speaking one has probably done the same if not worse himself. Producer Yu Zheng has gone public to confirm and blast the director and production of recently started filming modern C-drama Genius Girlfriend. His agency actress Zhao Jia Min, who played a memorable good … Continue reading →
Last week a new C-drama kicked off filming and it’s the modern romance Genius Girlfriend with Tian Xi Wei and Hu Yi Tian. So far nothing much to note other than the height difference is going to look great onscreen and hopefully these two have chemistry with each other. There is a billing fight behind the scenes, but fight indicates … Continue reading →
So this is the same thing that happened to C-actor Deng Wei in recent two years, that he went over a year without being on a filming set. He ended up breaking the drought earlier this year as he got cast and started filming Days of Seclusion and Love, so now the same concern has been moved over to fellow … Continue reading →
So the big C-drama of the spring 2024 season may not just be In Blossom, now we need to add Blossoms in Adversity to it as well. Blossoms in Adversity wasn’t big budget or had a big name cast, and actually started off with criticism of male lead Hu Yi Tian and a general been there-done that impression of the … Continue reading →
So the Chinese are massively superstitious. In the production world, the filming start ceremonies are picked for auspicious days, the prayers are for smooth filming, and the red envelopes for good tidings. That’s why it’s totally true that stars with either bad news attached or seem to be around bad things do find it harder to get cast. The opposite … Continue reading →
So I never got the urge to watch female empowerment period C-drama Blossoms in Adversity which premiered in April as a Spring offering that wasn’t overly promoted or highly anticipated. I liked Zhang Jing Yi thanks to Lighter and Princess but I won’t deny that she seems capable of only ONE type of acting (stubborn, positive in spirit female lead) … Continue reading →
I think viewers are being either honest or stingy with their votes but the latest Douban ratings to come out for additional late winter/spring 2024 C-dramas are all in the 6 range. Modern romance Best Choice Ever starring Yang Zi and Xu Kai came in with 6.4 and female empowerment period C-drama Blossoms in Adversity with Zhang Jing Yi and … Continue reading →
So the good news is that not a lot was expected of this C-drama but it’s still getting majorly hammered right now. Blossoms in Adversity has premiered for less than a week and it’s been rough out of the gate. The ridiculous story with the child female lead in episode 1 climbing the boat rigging to start the drama probably … Continue reading →
