More Pretty Stills from Once Promised Drama Adaptation A Life Time Love with Victoria Song and Huang Xiaoming

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 30, 2017 by ockoalaMay 30, 2017

The romance novel Once Promised is a fantastic read for those who hate love triangles and love OTP consistency, but terribly traumatic for those who need happy endings. The C-drama adaption A Life Time Love (Ancient Love Song) uses the story but changes all the names to avoid upsetting Chinese censors as the original tale was about historical fantasy deities … Continue reading →

Fantasy landscape with tree and figures.

First impressions mean a lot and I loved the concept poster for the long awaited C-drama adaptation of fantasy period romance novel Once Promised (Ceng Shu Nuo) by writer Tong Hua most famous for having penned Bu Bu Jing Xin. The drama is being called A Lifetime Love (Chinese title Ancient Love Song – Shang Gu Qing Ge) and all the … Continue reading →

Shu Qi Shines in C-remake of My Best Friends Wedding with Feng Shao Feng and Victoria Song

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 12, 2016 by ockoalaAugust 11, 2016
Promotional poster for "My Best Friend's Wedding."

The remake of a twenty year old movie that was itself not very good feels like a lesson in pointlessness. Except the trailer for the C-movie version of My Best Friend’s Wedding actually works for me, and it’s solely on the charisma and charm of leading lady Shu Qi much like original lead Julia Roberts sold the half-baked script. The … Continue reading →

Victoria Song Goes Beach Princess for Bazaar China and Poised for Further Breakout with High Profile C-dramas

I haven’t liked any of Victoria Song‘s Chinese entertainment projects since she started branching out there a few years ago, after getting her debut over in Korea as a member of idol group f(x). She’s been working steadily on dramas and movies, and this may be her big year to jump to the next level thanks to some big dramas on … Continue reading →

Cha Tae Hyun Marries Original Sassy Girl Victoria Song in My Sassy Girl 2

Promotional poster for "New Sassy Girl" movie.

I’m normally live and let live with entertainment products – producers have a right to make whatever and it’s up to audiences to watch or ignore. But with this latest offering it just leaves a bad taste in my mouth, the taste of crass selling out and the ruination of a classic original. Korean-Chinese co-produced movie My Sassy Girl 2 … Continue reading →

Once Promised with Huang Xiaoming, Victoria Song, Sheng Yi Lun, and Xu Lu Gets New Chinese Title and Starts Filming

A Koala's Playground Posted on March 19, 2016 by ockoalaMarch 19, 2016
Fantasy landscape with a cherry blossom tree.

A name change for a novel to drama adaptation is so common these days, and increasingly the character names are changed as well and only the story outline remains the same. It’s likely to avoid Chinese censors if the story fictionalizes the lives of real life historical or cultural figures. Upcoming fantasy period drama adaptation of Tong Hua novel Once … Continue reading →

C-drama Ice Fantasy with Feng Shao Feng and Victoria Song Drop Visually Entertaining Trailer

Fantasy characters in enchanting costumes.

Consider me pleasantly surprised and not at all unhappy that the initial gloom and doom prognostications for upcoming otherwordly C-drama Ice Fantasy may not have been warranted. The first teaser trailer is out and does not look bad at all, and in fact look much better than I could have imagined possible. Still iffy on the story and acting but … Continue reading →

Fantasy landscape with a face silhouette.

It’s rare for me to be totally caught off guard but this C-drama news is a major out of nowhere announcement. Tong Hua’s period fantasy wuxia novel Once Promised (Ceng Shu Nuo) is getting a C-drama adaptation starring Huang Xiaoming and Victoria Song (Song Qian). It’s the story of the parents generation before the sequel novel Lost You Forever that … Continue reading →

Award presenters on stage in formal attire.

Now this is how I call throwing a fun awards show shindig. One of China’s top streaming sites iQiyi hosted the 2016 All-star Carnival this past weekend and it appeared all the It Stars showed up, and then some.

Shu Qi Funny and Gorgeous for the C-version of My Best Friend’s Wedding with Male Lead Feng Shao Feng

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 3, 2015 by ockoalaOctober 4, 2015
Joyful couple enjoying food at a market.

I find the Chinese remake of 90’s Hollywood movie My Best Friend’s Wedding ridiculously well-cast even if two decades too late in terms of timing. The movie script for the original was terrible but the whole thing coasted on the mega-watt appeal of Julia Roberts and her unexpected chemistry with Rupert Everett. For the C-remake, popular and critically acclaimed Taiwanese actress … Continue reading →
