She’s in talks for a period C-drama titled Kill My Sins and earlier in the month it was rumored to costar Deng Wei. But now the male actor in talks for the lead is Shawn Dou (Dou Xiao) and honestly … Continue reading →
So it’s been a consistent rumor since around 2022 that married couple Nicky Wu and Liu Shi Shi will get divorced.

Like all C-dramas nowadays, the bigger the hit the more likely there is criticism, blowback, and nitpicking. I try to cover it even if I like the drama, this year the ones I liked My Journey to You, and Till the End of the Moon had plenty of naysayers, and the ones I didn’t The Longest Promise, Legend of Anle, … Continue reading →
