I don’t think this is a high profile big budget C-drama by any means but I do think risk to reward opportunity is higher with smaller projects. Li Hong Yi and Gong Xue Er are in talks for an upcoming period romance C-drama titled Princess Zhaoyang, adapted from a novel, and without reading it I can already give the usual … Continue reading →
With all the talk of C-actor Zhang Wan Yi being typecast and looking almost exactly the same visually in costume and hair in his last four period dramas, the same can be said for the ladies side with Sun Zhenni. Her next drama to come is the xianxia romance Blossom in Darkness (Chinese title 十万狂花入梦来 or Hundred Thousand Flowers in … Continue reading →
I totally blanked on the origins of this drama but when I watched the just released preview I went “Oh, this is a Guo Jingming drama!” lol. It is indeed, as Youku released new posters and a preview for Hidden Shadow starring Wang Chu Ran and Li Hong Yi and is the latest work from Guo Jingming but thankfully has … Continue reading →
This xianxia drama was only filmed in late 2023 but it feels more old school than that, probably because it just looks mid budget and overall like someone tried to copy and paste hit xianxia dramas but the result comes across as cobbled together. Of course the previews could be wrong and the upcoming A Moment But Forever turns out … Continue reading →
I don’t know which insano in the casting department for period C-drama Love Travels Through Time thought it a good idea to pair up Liu Xue Yi with underaged rising actress Ai Mi, but it did make for fun times with a rare moment of collective online cringe and howls of ewwwww.

My Journey to You was just okay but Fangs of Fortune was a flop, it was too over-the-top in presentation and the slow burn story did no wonders in roping … Continue reading →
So this is the opposite of a C-drama getting cast and having lots of good or bad buzz thanks to the leads. I’m thrilled for the main cast because it’s all stars that are solid and acting and don’t come with too much fan and online baggage lol. The C-drama One Hundred Thousand Crazy Flowers into Dreams 十万狂花入梦来 based on … Continue reading →
This billing order shit is getting out of had, but then again it flares up and peters out in waves so I hope it dies down again ASAP. A new drama got cast this week and it’s relatively high profile, it’s the next drama from director and screenwriter Guo Jing Ming (Edward Guo) whose most recent drama was the stylish … Continue reading →
I hope this drama gets a real English title soon because calling it Tibetan Sea Opera just frustrates the geography nerd in me. The drama is reportedly announcing official casting soon but the lead will be Xiao Zhan with lesser known Sun Yi as the female lead and Li Hong Yi (the other dude who facetwins with Cheng Yi and … Continue reading →
