Two characters in deep contemplation.

So when this C-drama was announced months ago everyone was naturally like “WHY?!” because the original K-drama was considered perfect in every way. In what amounts to karmic timing, the drama Loving Strangers (C-title Thank You for Listening to Me) started filming with Mark Chao and Zhang Zi Feng at the same time the male lead of the original K-drama … Continue reading →

So it feels like the pendulum has swung back to normalcy in C and K netizen chatter, for awhile the two sides were always against each other and their respective cultures and productions seemingly for the sake of it due to real life geo-political tensions.

It’s not terribly long but does put a lot of television shows across Asia and small screen acting performances as the centerpiece rather than films across the greater festival. Winning the inaugural 2019 ACA for Best Drama was 2018 hit cable … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 2, 2018 by ockoalaOctober 1, 2018
Four characters from a Korean drama series.

This is a surprising choice of a K-drama to adapt, mostly because the original is deemed nearly perfect and also because it doesn’t seem to fit with the vibe of the adapting countries drama tastes. China will be remaking acclaimed tvN drama My Ahjusshi into a C-drama tentatively with the same title which is My Uncle in Chinese. The synopsis … Continue reading →
