C-netizens Think Liu Yu Ning is Trying to Change His Reputation of Stealing Scenes From Other Leads by Posting New Picture of Himself Hanging Out with Heroes Leads Zeng Shun Xi and Baron Chen

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 29, 2023 by ockoalaDecember 28, 2023
Three characters sharing a moment in conversation.

So this whole issue needs context and I’ll do my best to provide. Apparently Liu Yu Ning has been accused of working behind the scenes to increase his scenes for dramas in recent years, don’t ask him how he accomplishes it if that is indeed what he does. This is one reason Zhao Lu Si‘s fans went berserk hearing she … Continue reading →

Two characters in elaborate historical costumes.

So the best way to make money or at lease recoup is always going to be the way forward. C-ent insiders this week are once again saying the government has not banned The Prisoner of Beauty from airing, likely due to Song Zu Er‘s tax evasion case still under investigation and perhaps not going to result in a formal ban … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 21, 2023 by ockoalaDecember 21, 2023
Two individuals in traditional Asian clothing.

Wuxia C-drama A Journey to Love Ends with a Less than Satisfying Ending But Still a Worth Watching Series

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 18, 2023 by ockoalaDecember 18, 2023
Couple embracing in a snowy setting.

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 →

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 17, 2023 by ockoalaDecember 16, 2023

Take this with a grain of salt but I also think it’s more likely than not. A new development in finished period C-drama The Prisoner of Beauty is that the production company is thinking of changing the title along with earlier rumors that it’s prepping for a sudden air drop release. I don’t think it’s a wild possibility as for … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 10, 2023 by ockoalaDecember 10, 2023
Young man in traditional dark attire, contemplative.

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 →

Couple in traditional attire, romantic setting.

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.

Young man in traditional dark attire, contemplative.

So the latest news on period C-drama The Prisoner of Beauty with Song Zu Er and Liu Yu Ning is that it may still air. After Song Zu Er’s tax scandal, the government authorities have not banned her either outright or softly, but it’s the entertainment platforms and production companies that don’t want to touch her right now. The Prisoner … Continue reading →

So last week was Thanksgiving in the US and as expected the amount of food consumed was pants splitting.

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 17, 2023 by ockoalaNovember 17, 2023
Artistic landscape with traditional Chinese architecture.

So I don’t check out the so-called booting ceremonies a lot, when a C-drama kicks off filming with prayers and red envelopes for good luck. But is it always so coordinated haha, because the cast and crew of Tang dynasty period drama The Legend of Jewelry were all wearing matching red jackets for the cast and blue jackets for the … Continue reading →
