So it’s official teaser time for modern C-drama Love’s Ambition with Zhao Lu Si and William Chan. I swear this drama just finished filming in my recollection but the first preview is here now so I gamely checked it out despite being so meh on the male lead despite his very long career and starring with many an actress I … Continue reading →

So the English title is Love’s Ambition for the C-drama adapted from the novel Let Me Shine, and this week filming commenced with leads Zhao Lu Si and William Chan. This pairing is already generating talk both positive and negative as to be expected, it’s hard to be popular without accompanying commentary.

So I’m of the mind to just scrap this project but then I’m not the key demographic so maybe there is an appetite for a second serving. C-ent is reporting that the in prep sequel to super popular fantasy period C-drama Ashes of Love will still go forward despite a blip on the male lead casting plans. Ashes of Love … Continue reading →

C-ent Looks Forward as High Profile Fantasy Period Drama Novoland: Pearl Eclipse with Yang Mi and William Chan Gets Airing Approval

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 10, 2021 by ockoalaSeptember 9, 2021
Couple in traditional attire sharing a moment.

I haven’t been a fan of the Novoland series of dramas but this latest iteration has my interest because it stars Yang Mi rocking the period drama look HARD (i.e. gorgeously) and also because I’m hoping it saves this lackluster 2021 year in C-ent. Novoland: Pearl Eclipse was the shining positive news this week as it received official airing approval … Continue reading →

There is so much fashion eye candy out and about at the Vogue Film Fashion Exhibit in China this weekend, with top Chinese and Taiwanese stars making their chic presence felt.

First Teaser for Lost Love in Times with Liu Shi Shi and William Chan Heralds Stylish Romantic Angst

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 18, 2017 by ockoalaMay 17, 2017
Romantic scene with two characters embracing.

It’s weird how much I still love Liu Shi Shi considering she hasn’t made a single drama or movie I’ve liked in five years, yet the love from Bu Bu Jing Xin and even earlier in Legend of the Condor Heroes is sustenance enough. I always have hope her next drama will be good and this upcoming period romance Lost … Continue reading →

Understated appears the direction for the costume designing of this drama, aside from the ornate toppers on the hair. Official drama posters and new stills are out for period C-drama Lost Love in Times (Zui Ling Long), pairing up very popular actor Liu Shi Shi and William Chan in a first time collaboration for both.

First Stills of Liu Shi Shi and William Chan in Fantasy Period C-drama Lost Love in Time

Chinese drama-watching netizens can be hilariously snarky and in this case they overwhelming hate the K-remake of Bu Bu Jing Xin as much as I did. Moon Lovers doesn’t even hold up as a K-drama in its own right, much as as an adaptation of the source novel the Chinese did amazingly well already. Lots of viewers have been missing … Continue reading →

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.

Portraits of diverse individuals with striking expressions.

C-writer/producer Guo Jingming has been flying high for well over a decade in C-ent, thanks to popular novels and later adaptations into even more popular hits like the Tiny Times movie series.

Pretty Previews for The Legend of Fragrance with Li Yi Feng and Tang Yan Airing Early February

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 27, 2015 by ockoalaJanuary 26, 2015

I’ve gotten my optimism back up with the surge of C-dramas I’m looking forward to as well as a handful of silly but watchable ones recently. Perfect Couple with Tang Yan and Wallace Huo as well as Incisive Great Teacher with Liu Shi Shi and Nicky Wu were enjoyably cute and much better than I expected last year while My … Continue reading →
