Romantic artwork featuring two stylized characters.

The spring C-drama drought is over and of course its now the extreme with a full on flood. Today on July 2nd iQIYI released xianxia C-drama Divine Destiny with zero announcement and promotion. Starring Angelababy and Ma Tian Yu, the drama was filming in late 2020 so its another one of those long shelved likely meh efforts that seems to … Continue reading →

C-drama Ice Fantasy with Feng Shao Feng and Victoria Song Drop Visually Entertaining Trailer

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 6, 2016 by ockoalaMarch 6, 2016
Fantasy characters in enchanting costumes.

Consider me pleasantly surprised and not at all unhappy that the initial gloom and doom prognostications for upcoming otherwordly C-drama Ice Fantasy may not have been warranted. The first teaser trailer is out and does not look bad at all, and in fact look much better than I could have imagined possible. Still iffy on the story and acting but … Continue reading →

Kim Hee Sun Plays a Hot Mom Princess in Guest Starring Turn in C-drama Ice Fantasy

Despite looking like a hot mess in the making, upcoming C-drama Ice Fantasy got the first decent looking aspect of the visuals in the guest staring presence of K-actress Kim Hee Sun. She’s done a C-movie before way back when in her early career days, and doesn’t seem to be jumping fully on the bandwagon train of Korean acting talent … Continue reading →

Feng Shao Feng and Victoria Song Headline the C-drama Adaptation of Ice Fantasy

China may be mostly miss when it comes to producing quality C-dramas, but it has the budget and scope to tackle a wider range of projects, especially when it comes to fantasy stories that require a lot of post-production. Case in point the upcoming special effects laden C-drama Ice Fantasy (Chinese title translates as Fantasy Kingdom), with a big name … Continue reading →

Star-studded Wuxia C-drama Ancient Sword Fantasy with Li Yi Feng and Yang Mi Premieres in Early July

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 25, 2014 by ockoalaJune 24, 2014

Sometimes I wonder if SARFT releases decrees and suggestions and the Chinese networks give a collective shrug and go back to their regularly scheduled programming. A little over a month ago SARFT issued a suggestive letter that it wished all networks aired dramas during the Summer months of July through October that promoted “the Chinese dream” (whatever that means), leading … Continue reading →

Li Yi Feng and Yang Mi with the Sprawling C-cast of Ancient Sword Fantasy Release First Video Preview

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 22, 2013 by ockoalaAugust 21, 2013

I’ve been trying to retrain my brain to tolerate fantasy wuxia dramas, which to me is like the untalented sibling of the overachieving star of the family. It substitutes special effects for story, dumbing down characters because magic and make believe elements can be thrown in to solve any problem. But once my darling rising young C-actor Li Yi Feng … Continue reading →

Li Yi Feng and Yang Mi Lead the Sprawling Cast of Upcoming Fantasy Wuxia C-drama

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 30, 2013 by ockoalaJune 28, 2013

I usually embrace change readily but one thing I remain adamantly old school about are wuxia dramas. I don’t do fantasy wuxia or RPG wuxia because it’s like some weird hybrid of silliness without the epic depth. I’ve watched a few of Tangren’s takes such as Chinese Paladin, Chinese Paladin 3, and Xuan Yuan Sword and none of them were … Continue reading →
