This drama is what I consider a well worth it investment, Fated Hearts is an A-budget drama with two known leads in Li Qin and Chen Zhe Yuan but doesn’t come with the baggage of S-budget dramas or leads with fierce and intense fandoms. With a relatively under the radar filming and release it’s one of the better received period … Continue reading →
It’s check in time now that period C-drama Fated Hearts has aired for nearly a week. The iQiyi politics, betrayal, romance, and action drama came in with lower than usual buzz and expectations as neither lead Li Qin or Chen Zhe Yuan commands strong and expansive fandoms to hype things up, both are more serviceable leading stars that go from … Continue reading →
October is here and with it a slate of new C-dramas on deck, hopefully good ones to fill the doldrums that was the lack of exciting September releases. The first to arrive is period politics and romance C-drama Fated Hearts with Li Qin and Chen Zhe Yuan. iQiyi has confirmed its premiere on October 2nd and started releasing a boatload … Continue reading →
Another C-drama I’m looking forward to though only in that so-so excited way is Fated Hearts (一笑随歌 Yi Xiao Sui Ge or One Smile Follows Song. iQiyi released new posters and a full preview this week and it’s got a lot of plot and action packed in, showing how the prince played by Chen Zhe Yuan and Li Qin‘s assassin … Continue reading →
Well this went from must watch to likely will watch with the switch up of the female lead. Period C-drama Live Long and Prosper has basically inked Dylan Wang for the last two months and earlier on the female lead in talks as Dai Lu Wa after her breakout as the second female lead in Moonlight Mystique. It’s a big … Continue reading →
So this drama has been discussed for over two years and multiple actors and actresses attached at different times. But reportedly this time is it as the drama will start filming at the end of February 2025 at Hendian Studios so this casting should be it. The Days of Love and Seclusion adapted from the same name novel will star … Continue reading →
Last weekend was the iQiyi Scream Night 2024 which is where the streaming platform gets all the drama C-stars together to present various awards all of which are based on popularity and buzz basically. So lots of celebs and a fun night vibe, and the cutest selfie out of the evening comes courtesy of actor Zeng Shun Xi. He managed … Continue reading →
This drama filmed recently so I don’t expect to see it on the small screen until 2025 but the production is very fast and generous with sharing new promos. Fated Hearts with Li Qin and Chen Zhe Yuan released new stills this week and for some reason it gives me vampire story Twilight crossed with wuxa vibes. Li Qin pulls … Continue reading →
Of the three higher profile C-dramas that premiered in October, the least buzzy and watched has been wuxia drama Snowy Night: Timeless Love with Li Qin and Zeng Shun Xi. I enjoyed gazing at the snowy artistic stills but have no interest to watch a drama with these two leads unless it gets rave reviews. And it didn’t, the reception … Continue reading →
I think snow might be a major character in the upcoming wuxia C-drama Snowy Night: Timeless Love (Seven Nights Snow) since the whole backdrop of the snowy valley and cold nights is so prominently featured in all the promos for this drama. iQiyi has scheduled Snowy Night: Timeless Love for next week October 9th premiere so it’s nice to have … Continue reading →
Oooooh, me likes! I was not expecting to be all that interested in upcoming period C-drama Fated Hearts (Chinese title 一笑随歌 Yi Xiao Sui Ge or One Smile Accompanying Song). I have a soft spot for drama titles that are punny based on the names of the two leads (like in Sword and Fairy 祈今朝), and here it’s Li Qin … Continue reading →

It was originally called Wan Xin Ji 綰心記 but now has the new title Yi Xiao Sui Ge 一笑随歌 which means One Smile Accompanying Song, and it’s a combination of the two lead characters names. The female lead is named Yi … Continue reading →

Not much to say about this yet, glad all the Chen Zhe Yuan casting and billing … Continue reading →
