Only 25 C-dramas on Tencent have hit 30,000 heat index ever and now add another one with The Prisoner of Beauty. I hope this drama has the same legs as two of my favorites of all time Lost You Forever (Part 1) and Love Like the Galaxy both of which hit 32,000 at its peak but I’m not sure of … Continue reading →
This period C-drama has been casting around for the past year and earlier this year was nearly ready to start filming with leads in place. Then nothing happened and now is back in the casting news cycle with word that it will star Song Zu Er as her first post-return casting. The drama is titled Biao Mei Wan Fu (表妹万福) … Continue reading →
IT WAS WORTH THE WAIT! Omg, I cannot believe just released period C-drama The Prisoner of Beauty is even better than I expected and could have hoped for. It changes, swaps around, and condenses the novel substantially but stands on its own so it’s like the novel is amazing and the drama is amazing (so far) but in its own … Continue reading →
Hot diggity it’s here! I’ve posted over half a dozen posts about rumors that Tencent will airdrop or release The Prisoner of Beauty in the last two years but this one isn’t a rumor – the drama got dropped today May 13th at noon. The soft ban on female lead Song Zu Er lifted two months ago and her other … Continue reading →
iQiyi is surely breathing a sigh of relief with the reception for it’s fantasy supernatural period C-drama The Demon Hunter’s Romance. The shelved for nearly two years drama airdropped in early April once the ban on female lead Song Zu Er was lifted and the result was better than expected. The drama got stronger than expected reviews especially for male … Continue reading →
So it’s now all but confirmed that C-actress Song Zu Er can and will be returning to C-ent after about a year and a half on hibernation due to her tax evasion scandal. Last week Youku airdropped her C-drama The Demon Hunter’s Romance but that didn’t mean she could fully come back, it could be a soft lifting on airing … Continue reading →
C-ent has the reputation of being fast and quick to make decisions on scheduling and it shows the industry is keeping a close ear to feedback. Case in point, with iQiyi airdropping The Demon Hunter’s Romance with Allen Ren and Song Zu Er after it got the soft green light, initially Tencent was planning to also airdrop Song Zu Er … Continue reading →
The release of The Demon Hunter’s Romance is now on day 4 and hasn’t been yanked yet so consider that confirmation of the tacit allowance that C-actress Song Zu Er is allowed back on television. Her other drama The Prisoner of Beauty is reportedly about to be airdropped as well and now there is industry casting news that Tencent is … Continue reading →
The reception so far for recently premiere iQiyi fantasy supernatural period C-drama The Demon Hunter’s Romance is like just praying for a C on a test and coming home with an A. The drama had been shelved for the past 18-months during Song Zu Er‘s tax scandal and all iQiyi wanted was to air it and recoup some cost, no … Continue reading →
So the Song Zu Er getting maybe cancelled for tax evasion scandal is now a year and a half in and probably has as much traction as it does because she has two big fully filmed dramas on deck with The Demon Hunter’s Romance and The Prisoner of Beauty with lots of money on the line. Similarly Yuan Bing Yan … Continue reading →
There is a twist in the iQiyi weekend drama release schedule but take it with a grain of salt. But it’s spreading across C-ent broader than the usual melon so I am hoping this time it does happen. The platform reportedly will air drop The Demon Hunter’s Romance, the long finished and shelved supernatural period drama with Allen Ren and … Continue reading →
Alrighty, there is an actual date now for the reportedly end of November release of supernatural period C-drama The Demon Hunter’s Romance. Mark your calendars for November 26th peeps! Of course having a date leak only means if the hammer comes down the authorities will know when to look but it appears streaming platform iQiyi has been leaking the release … Continue reading →
If I go back through my post history there are at least half a dozen ones about the potential airing of The Demon Hunter’s Romance with Allen Ren and Song Zu Er. None have come to fruition but I think it’s less that the rumor was false and more than the powers that be put a kibosh on it. Now … Continue reading →
