So I think the whole fallout with C-actress Ren Min and her period visuals (or lack thereof) with last year’s xianxia C-drama The Longest Promise was after she had filmed additional period dramas. Since then I don’t believe she’s accepted … Continue reading
So the rumors that Dylan Wang is really trying to leave the idol drama world and enter the mainstream drama/movie land is definitely true as after his most recently filmed drama Guardians of the Dafeng he only has a movie … Continue reading
Say what you will about rating websites be it Rotten Tomatoes for movies in the US or Douban in China for dramas but it serves at least a central aggregate of consumer feedback. I find the public ratings more or … Continue reading
