So May went with no grippy C-drama for me, I’m not on the Joy of Life train so I can’t watch season 2 without even watching the original, and Fox Spirit Matchmaker: Red Moon Pact was so listless and wan it’s like a match made specifically to sadden me. That means tomorrow’s June 2nd premiere of period revenge C-drama The … Continue reading →

Looks like the plan to steer clear of juggernaut Joy of Life 2 is about a two week span from its premiere date of May 16th. I’m seeing first Fox Spirit Matchmaker: Red Moon Pact scheduled for end of May release and now the Yu Zheng produced period drama The Double also slotting its airing for the end of the … Continue reading →
I’m not terribly picky with my drama posters especially the early stage ones that much effort hasn’t been made on it yet. But these for the kick off filming of period wuxia C-drama Calming Waves is just sooooo bad it’s embarrassing for the cast. The drama stars Wang Xing Yue and Xiang Han Zhi, with both having other finished period … Continue reading →

So it will be 4th time the charm for Wang Xing Yue in terms of getting the girl in a drama if she’s played by Bai Lu.

The recent deluge of C-drama premieres has its usual winners, losers, and just coasting through participants. A clear winner is C-actor Wang Xing Yue, who went from the everyone hates him male lead in Scent of Time to everyone loves him second male lead in Story of Kunning Palace, with the two dramas basically airing back-to-back thanks to scheduling issues … Continue reading →
So there’s a new period C-drama that premiered last few days, Scent of Time with Zhou Ye and Wang Xing Yue.
