I wasn’t super interested in Hunan TV period C-drama Dancing with the Tides (何不同舟渡 He Bu Tong Zhou Du) but now seeing pictures and posters from the set it’s looking way more promising. Starring Tan Jian Ci and Lu Yu Xiao, the drama was in development for years with so many rumored leads that I was pretty meh with the … Continue reading →
The speed at which C-dramas start filming and then churn out promos is astonishing, I swear this drama just started filming like maybe a week go and now the first look is here. Hunan TV period romance C-drama Dancing with the Tide (何不同舟渡 He Bu Tong Zhou Du or Why Not Cross by Ferry) released the first poster of leads … Continue reading →
A new period C-drama has started filming this week and it’s titled Dancing with the Tide (何不同舟渡 He Bu Tong Zhou Du). Airing on Hunan TV and streaming on Mango, the drama title is so familiar to me because this project has been in development for probably three years and has had so many familiar names attached or courted for … Continue reading →
There is genuine movement now on a C-drama that has been either trying to cast or get off the ground to shoot for close to three years. Nothing wrong with it, some projects just get batted around looking for the right leads, investment, and shooting schedule. The period romance C-drama He Bu Tong Zhou Du (Why No Cross By Boat … Continue reading →

Love’s Ambition should be wrapping up, Fated Hearts will be on the full airing swing of things, Yummy Yummy Yummy will drop October 9th, and now we have another confirmed addition with xianxia C-drama Love in the Clouds arriving on October … Continue reading →
So the online negative commentary around C-actress Yu Shu Xin earlier this month will indeed impact her next C-drama. She was confirmed for the wuxia period drama A Journey to Glow, the companion next project to C-drama A Journey to Love. The male lead was not yet confirmed but by all accounts it was going to be Wang An Yu … Continue reading →
With the spate of August 2025 C-dramas ending/ended such as Moonlit Reunion, When Destiny Brings the Demon, and Shadow Love, and we’re now in early September hopefully this month will have one or two good offerings. The first to get a reported airing date (not yet confirmed) is Love in the Clouds streaming on Youku. It stars Hou Ming Hao … Continue reading →
A new C-drama in prep popped up on the radar this week and it’s as Youku modern romance titled The Early Spring (早春晴朗 Zhao Chun Qing Lang). The leads in discussion are apparently Zhang Wan Yi and Lu Yu Xiao and I didn’t yet have these two on my work together bingo. The reason being is that he seems to … Continue reading →
So I tried watching Serendipity and made it all the way through episode 6 and feel no urge to continue. It’s just such a bland drama, with a low budget seen onscreen and leads Wang Zi Qi and Lu Yu Xiao not delivering at all. He looks terrible in this particular hairstyle and costume (way better in modern dramas) and … Continue reading →
This isn’t quite a sudden airdrop but does feel out of left field that Tencent decided to go more low key to end April by premiering period C-drama Serendipity (榜上佳婿 Bang Shang Jia Shu or Top Scholar Ideal Husband) today instead of another more high profile pick. I’m stoked this is here personally, love both leads and with low expectations … Continue reading →
So this is really great timing, to release period C-drama Perfect Match (Wu Fu Ling Men 五福临门) right before lunar new year since it just seems like a fun family oriented show to watch when nestling at home. The Yu Zheng produced C-drama stars a bevy of his agency stars along with additional familiar names and faces to create a … Continue reading →
An upcoming xianxia C-drama finished filming recently so let’s take a look at Love in the Clouds, starring Hou Ming Hao and Lu Yu Xiao. It’s yet early in the post-production but I do expect this drama sometime in late 2025 to be released. Hou Ming Hao continues to do one drama after another, all looking promising but none being … Continue reading →
“It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.” No I’m not alleging producer Yu Zheng copied Pride and Prejudice, and even Little Women, but he definitely has assembled the premise of a mom in olden times trying to marry off her daughters. In this case there … Continue reading →
