Those who follow C-ent will likely know or make the connection that this day last year was when rising young actor Kimi Qiao was found dead in … Continue reading →

Perhaps the saddest entertainment world news story of 2016 was the suicide of Chinese singer-actor Kimi Qiao at the age of 27. It was completely shocking because of his sunshine boy persona in public and hard working reputation as someone who loved what he was doing.

Last week’s passing of Chinese singer-actor Kimi Qiao (Qiao Ren Liang) at the age of 28 years old from depression-induced suicide has rocked the entertainment industry but no one is more affected than his parents. He was an only child not to mention by all accounts a dutiful, considerate, and loving son, the type to call his mom that he was … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 19, 2016 by ockoalaSeptember 18, 2016

Saying goodbye to a star gone too early feels like public mourning where the good and the bad get tossed around willy nilly. I want to focus on the good and the much too soon passing of Chinese actor-singer Kimi Qiao (Qiao Ren Liang) leaves the industry bereft and in shock, not to mention the family and friends who loved … Continue reading →

I prefer not to follow up bad news posts, especially not back-to-back, but the pain from hearing that Chinese actor-singer Kimi Qiao (Qiao Ren Liang) passed away yesterday still reverberates and there is too much innuendo out there to let sit. Kimi’s agency released an official statement today confirming Kimi’s death and revealing the cause to be suicide. Kimi had … Continue reading →

Couple interacting through a circular frame.

Consider me excited now for upcoming Chinese-Korean collaboration movie Bad Guys Always Die (坏蛋必须死). I really haven’t seen a good collab movie or drama since the groundswell of such projects started in recent years, but this one looks as entertaining as any movie trailer can hope to rope in the general audience. Starring Bolin Chen, Son Ye Jin, Kimi Qiao, … Continue reading →

Three Up and Three Down (三上三下) is the most apt description for the final celebrity casting of the C-version of popular Korean variety show We Got Married, as the earlier leaks got three right and three wrong. Titled We are in Love (or Let’s Fall in Love), the C-version is produced in full conjunction with the original MBC production team … Continue reading →

Hans Zhang and Zheng Shuang Pair Up for the 4th Time for SOP Queen Spin Off

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 16, 2012 by ockoalaNovember 15, 2012

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 →
