It feels like ages since I last saw Nicky Wu and Liu Shi Shi together in a public event, and when I checked the date I realized it has indeed been over a year since 4th Prince and Ruo Xi had the opportunity to grace us with their presence together. Since finishing Bu Bu Jing Xin back in early 2011, … Continue reading →
It’s awards time everyone, and in a few weeks the major networks in Korea will hold their own drama awards and I’ll be checking it out for the fashion and the onscreen couplings while laughing at who actually “wins” an award. On the heels of SETTV holding their drama awards a few days ago, across the strait the TV Drama … Continue reading →
Downside about being Liu Shi Shi this week – attending a movie filming launch event sporting a straight bob hairstyle that does not flatter her gorgeous cheekbones and instead makes her look matronly. Upside about being Liu Shi Shi this week – she gets to make a movie with Vic Zhou! Okay, the upside totally completely unequivocally outweigh the downside. … Continue reading →
While 4 and 8 were duking it out for the beauty and the Qing empire, somewhere off to the side 13 was chuckling as he murmured “sorry bros, I’ve already got the girl.” I can always (ALWAYS) count on Yuan Hong and Liu Shi Shi to give HongShi shippers the world over some truly gaspworthy public cute moments at least … Continue reading →
If you love wuxia dramas and saw that picture above without any context, chances are you’d be screaming and running around like a headless chicken, much like I did for a good 2 minutes. Since I’m a Louis Cha wuxia fangirl, anytime his novels gets yet another drama adaptation I’m all over it like cat on cream. Even if the … Continue reading →
The drama adaptation of Tong Hua’s Da Mo Yao recently wrapped production after four months of filming, with the cast filming the Chang An scenes first in Heng Dian and then moving to Xiang Shan to film the desert and Xi Yu sequences. At this point I’ve seen all the BTS stills, which are so thoroughly leaked that I’ve pretty … Continue reading →
Friday comes the first big Summer C-drama offering on my radar, Tangren Entertainment‘s drama adaptation of the fantasy wuxia RPG Xuan Yuan Sword: Scar of Sky. Starring Hu Ge, Tang Yan, Liu Shi Shi, Jiang Jing Fu, Lin Geng Xin, and Guli Nezha, I went from completely uninterested in this drama to actually curious about it as the previews and … Continue reading →
Well, the most I can say is that at least Tangren found a real pair of pigeons to play Xiao Tao and Xian Cian in the currently filming drama adaptation of Da Mo Yao. Unfortunately Brother Wolf and the desert wolf pack won’t be nearly as realistic, though it won’t be going the CGI route. Just as I expected, a bunch … Continue reading →
If you’ve read Da Mo Yao along with me, then you should all know exactly where this scene is from in the book. Can I just say a “oh hells yeah”, and then give the poor long-suffering GeShi shippers out there a tissue so they can weep tears of joy. The filming for Da Mo Yao continues to chug along, … Continue reading →
I think my motto now should be “ask and you shall receive”, or maybe “have faith”. I’m a huge ArGe shipper, and in the midst of promotions for the upcoming Tangren fantasy RPG wuxia drama Xuan Yuan Jian, the cast was on the variety show Happy Camp and a big bombshell was dropped that just made my year. Since Tang … Continue reading →
So I knew about Liu Shi Shi and Ming Dao filming Happiness of an Angel late last year, a modern C-drama where he plays a doctor and she’s a single mom with a young daughter. They filmed the drama on Hainan Island, which is very picturesque, so I saw lots of stills with beach scenes and a pretty looking bed … Continue reading →
I’ve already rendered my initial opinion of Da Mo Yao the drama (miscast, shoddy costuming and wacky set pieces, sure-to-be poor CGI based on Tangren track record). I’m fine being proven wrong, but I doubt that will happen. I’m genuinely not following the filming, except this bit of stunning casting news hit my news feed and I had no choice … Continue reading →
I always like to start off with the good stuff. The latest magazine shoots for Hu Ge and Liu Shi Shi are just too beautiful for me not to share. Especially since Shi Shi’s are all taken in Paris last week when she went there to attend some fashion shows and other couture related good stuff. I think they are … Continue reading →
