The first big C-ent party of 2024 was this weekend with the 2023 Weibo Night celebration that brought out nearly all the popular stars in the industry. Yang Zi and Zhu Yi Long took home the top awards Weibo Queen and King but it’s a popularity award of course. The rest of the awards all fete the stars with notable … Continue reading →
So this is basically a done deal unless something drastic happens, the pairing and the scheduling both work well. A new Tencent produced C-drama is kicking off pre-production called Kill My Sins (Chinese title Zhang Xin 掌心 Palm of the Hand). It’s a big S-level female lead top billed drama and will star Liu Shi Shi who goes into filming … Continue reading →
So C-drama A Journey to Love has been airing for 3 weeks and for VIP viewers of iQiyi the streaming platform released the final 6-episodes this Monday with exclusive access. It helps with keeping the interest level high as honestly the last ten episodes have been slowly flagging for me. Overall I found the drama solidly written, a great supporting … Continue reading →
So this possible pairing is currently in the ideation stage and nowhere close to fruition but it still tickles my fancy. Liu Shi Shi is back in full time acting after having a baby three years ago and her currently airing A Journey to Love is a hit and she has Fox Spirit Matchmaker second season the Zhu Ye chapter … Continue reading →
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 →
The solid success of A Journey to Love is both a surprise and a true happiness for me. I love leads Liu Shi Shi and Liu Yu Ning separate and now together in this drama but neither are top liuliangs to drive traffic. This drama is succeeding on the quality of the script, acting, and directing and in one week … Continue reading →
So iQiyi decided to roll one well received C-drama Story of Kunning Palace into another anticipated drama A Journey to Love and has now hit the double jacket. I just finished Wonderland of Love and was planning to finally start Kunning Palace but decided to sneak a peek at A Journey to Love and now I’m a goner. This drama … Continue reading →
So last week was Thanksgiving in the US and as expected the amount of food consumed was pants splitting. It feels the same with the amount of dramas consumed because there are so many drams premiering recently that I can barely keep but have FOMO and want to watch them all. iQiyi decided to follow up Story of Kunning Palace … Continue reading →
So it looks like many of the on deck period C-dramas from 2023 will air before year ends, likely in a scrum like last week or in succession with what appears to be the timing for A Journey to Love. The spy and politics wuxia drama with Liu Shi Shi and Liu Yu Ning has received its airing permit already … Continue reading →
The two biggest losers in C-ent this month of October 2023 has to be Angelababy and to a smaller degree Zhang Jia Ni after the two ladies went to the Parisian cabaret show Crazy Horse for the much buzzed about guest starring turn by Blackpink‘s Lisa. Zhang Jia Ni is a C-list supporting actress so she just has to lay … Continue reading →
The awesomeness of slow burn mystery period C-drama My Journey to You has me fully back on the wuxia train and there’s a finished filming wuxia drama on deck to air in A Journey to Love. Starring Liu Shi Shi and Liu Yu Ning, the two leads were at a press event this week promoting the drama and also released … Continue reading →
I feel like Liu Shi Shi tends to work in waves and right now she has A Journey to Love with Liu Yu Ning on deck and she’s adding to that with Fox Spirit Matchmaker series second installment the Zhu Ye chapter with male lead Zhang Yun Long. The Yue Hong chapters stars Yang Mi and Gong Jun and has … Continue reading →
So I missed the first preview for A Journey to Love when it came out recently but watching it now for the first time is actually better timing. It gives off My Journey to You vibes (a good thing!) and I’m also super sad that Liu Yu Ning‘s other drama Prisoner of Beauty is likely kaput to never see the … Continue reading →
