The female lead is currently in talks with Ren Min but earlier it was also reported to be Bai Lu so it’s not clear which lady if either will land the role. Either lady would be top billed over Wang Xing Yue but this is still a step up for him in terms of the role.

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

Dang, C-actress Ren Min just cannot win with netizens. She’s a good actress that unfortunately was not visually suited for her last drama outing in the xianxia period piece The Longest Promise so naturally got a lot of flack for … Continue reading

I’m not sure this is necessary at this point but right after The Longest Promise finished airing, C-netizens noticed that each episode was different in running time. Don’t tell me how they know but they were right and turns out … Continue reading

Man, I thought The Longest Promise was delayed getting its airing permit because of the shizun (teacher)-student romance love line being frowned upon for breaching those ethical mores but turns out it was just a very poorly written, directed, and … Continue reading
