After five months filming has wrapped on the C-drama adaptation of popular fantasy period novel Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles Peach Blossoms.

Yang Mi Shines in First Drama Stills of Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles Peach Blossoms

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 11, 2016 by ockoalaMarch 10, 2016
Woman in traditional attire with sad expression.

I’ve always preferred traditional wuxia dramas over the skewing younger fantasy wuxia with more special effects that come across like an RPG visual. It’s pretty telling that many of the recent years fantasy wuxia dramas have been adopted from popular role playing video games as both the games and such dramas remain quite popular in China. Not as common as … Continue reading →

The meteoric rise of Taiwan actor Mark Chao is probably second only to Kai Ko, and both really have to thank luck for a big part of it. Mark’s first acting role was the second male lead opposite Vic Zhou in TW-drama Black & White, which netted him a Golden Bell Best Actor award, and after that he did the … Continue reading →

C-novel Three Lives Three Worlds Gets Two Adaptations: Movie with Crystal Liu-Yang Yang and Drama with Yang Mi-Mark Chao

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 31, 2015 by ockoalaOctober 31, 2015
Romantic portrait with floral accents and backgrounds.

I guess it’s confirmed now that C-actor Yang Yang is the current It Boy of the industry. Last year it was Li Yi Feng thanks to the hit fantasy wuxia drama Legend of the Ancient Sword, and probably more than coincidence that Yang Yang is this year’s big popularity surge since the two guys did the summer drama adaptation of popular … Continue reading →
