When stars talked about being overworked, it’s clearly more true than not but even from the public eye some are definitely getting run more ragged than others openly. Top drama actress Bai Lu is one of those who has not stopped for any meaningful period of time for what feels like 7 years straight since she started landing female lead … Continue reading →
So earlier this week I already covered the news that xianxia C-drama Love of the Divine Tree with Deng Wei was confirmed to air on February 7th this Friday on iQiyi. A few days later Youku announced that it was airing Tang dynasty C-drama Kill My Sins with Liu Shi Shi, Shawn Dou, and Zheng Ye Cheng also on February … Continue reading →
I hope everyone who celebrates had a great lunar new year 2025 this week! Bye to the Year of the Dragon and onward to the Year of the Snake. and also onward to more C-dramas on deck ready to air. February is right around the corner and scheduling industry rumors has three big name dramas to air and compete on … Continue reading →
With the flop that was Fox Spirit Matchmaker: Red Moon Pact, I’m not sure if I’ll see Liu Shi Shi back on the small screen first with her earlier filmed Fox Spirit second chapter Love in Pavilion or this just wrapped filming Kill My Sins. Both are 2025 dramas but I’m hoping for Kill My Sins both for the backdrop … Continue reading →
So it’s a relief that this cast for the C-drama Kill My Sins is basically solid across the board and has no problematic stars in the mix. Now the drama just has to be actually good and it’ll be one of those watches that doesn’t come with baggage. Kill My Sins kicked off filming this week with leads Liu Shi … Continue reading →
So my last post on the casting for this C-drama ended up being confirmed so yay for a pairing that I am totally onboard with. Youku‘s new period C-drama Kill My Sins (Chinese title Palm of my Hand) will star Liu Shi Shi and Shawn Dou in a S+ budget large scale production. It’s a talent and age appropriate casting … Continue reading →
So I see a trend here with C-actress Liu Shi Shi and I’m not sure if it’s intentional or coincidental. She’s in talks for a period C-drama titled Kill My Sins and earlier in the month it was rumored to costar Deng Wei. But now the male actor in talks for the lead is Shawn Dou (Dou Xiao) and honestly … Continue reading →
New and dramatically sideways drama posters for upcoming big budget period C-drama Princess Agents has me mildly hopeful I can find a new C-drama worth watching. Can’t say I love either leads Zhao Li Ying or Lin Geng Xin but I don’t dislike either as well and have heard lots of buzz around this particular project since it was announced. … Continue reading →
Actresses rarely get the accolade of aging beautifully, reserved for actors who grow older onscreen with dignity while the fresh-faced beauties are held up to impossible standards. With that said, leading lady Zhao Li Ying is absolutely aging beautifully and it’s all due to her shedding the super cutesy baby girl looks and flourishing into an angular more intense glamour. … Continue reading →
Money was clearly no limitation for the lavish and star-studded wedding ceremony of top Chinese stars Huang Xiaoming and Angelababy. It was as luxurious and over-the-top as Jay Chou‘s nuptials to Hannah Quinlivan last year, minus only the English castle backdrop but plus dozens more celebrity guests since it wasn’t a destination wedding. The newlyweds actually got married officially a … Continue reading →
Another week and another new Time to Love treat, with the movie version of popular novel/drama Bu Bu Jing Xin another step closer to its August 7th premiere. I can’t get over I’ve gotten more and more excited to watch this, when initially I was primed to let it pass since nothing could possibly top how perfect BBJX the drama … Continue reading →
If I didn’t love Bu Bu Jing Xin so much, the novel and the C-drama adaptation, I might be tempted to call it quits with the upcoming alterna-universe C-movie version Time to Love which is coming out in a few weeks. I don’t mind the streamlined take on the source novel, reducing the time-traveling heroine love triangle to just Ruo … Continue reading →
Considered me optimistic after being wowed by the just released official theme song MV for the upcoming Time to Love, better known as Bu Bu Jing Xin the Movie. The movie is being marketed for the intense love triangle romance rather than the throne battle, with it scheduled for release on August 7th just in time for Chinese Valentine’s Day … Continue reading →
