I’m still rather perplexed that I went from nope to liking C-actress Wu Jin Yan thanks to one drama, but then that is the beauty of acting and of viewers keeping an open mind. You never know who may suddenly wow you. She recently celebrated her 34th birthday this week and in C-ent that’s like near ancient age unless she’s … Continue reading →
The summer is soon heading into the final weeks as schools begin right after the lazy dog days are over. C-actress Wu Jin Yan was IMO one of the few big winners in the summer of 2024 C-drama sweepstakes, her drama The Double kicked off the season in June and remains of the buzziest airings for the last two months. … Continue reading →
Revenge C-drama The Double wrapped its run in June and remains to date my favorite C-drama so far of 2024, sadly Lost You Forever Part 2 was a giant disappointment. The Double made me like Wu Jin Yan for the first time and now I am happy to check out any future dramas of hers and if it’s good watch … Continue reading →
Well this is a snitty little brouhaha but ultimately nothing that wasn’t already bandied about. Over the weekend The Double male lead Wang Xing Yue‘s personal production office (i.e. his team) released a video of the drama that showed the original ending was his character Xiao Heng dying in battle. The sad ending of The Double was long rumored and … Continue reading →
So period C-drama The Double has finished and there are SO MANY C-dramas airing and on deck that this drama will settle nicely into success but past tense category as immediate attention moves elsewhere. As producer Yu Zheng sits there counting his cash and cackling, he apparently is already planning to reunite Wang Xing Yue and Wu Jin Yan in … Continue reading →
It’s almost time to say goodbye to C-drama The Double and I am ready to finish this with a flourish without being sad to let it go. It’s already episode 36 of the run out of 40 episodes and the grand revenge plan has been satisfying along the way and prepped for the grand finale. In some ways, female lead … Continue reading →
If you asked me at the beginning of 2024, I certainly would not have put “loving a Yu Zheng produced C-drama” on my drama bingo. And yet here we are and I am so addicted to The Double it’s not even funny, and it doesn’t have have romance yet through episode 25! More than halfway done and the OTP hasn’t … Continue reading →
I can see the production of Kill Me Love Me want to strike while the iron’s hot but this may still take a few months at the earliest to happen. Wu Jin Yan and Liu Xue Yi wrapped Kill Me Love Me earlier this year and the drama has been in post-production since. But with the success of Wu Jin … Continue reading →
Oh this is so dumb and I hope it doesn’t lead to the remainder of this super entertaining drama getting weird end scenes. The Double has been airing on a fast clip and in just one week exceeded all expectations in terms of viewership and reviews. It’s well made, well acted, and just so darn satisfying to watch the good … Continue reading →
Oh how things change, and yet stay the same. I am loving The Double greatly and for the first time a performance and character by Wu Jin Yan, though by all accounts she rocketed to stardom 6 years ago in Story of Yanxi Palace in precisely the same playbook – cunning and resourceful woman navigating treacherous waters while plotting revenge. … Continue reading →
With Joy of Life 2 done it’s time for a lot more C-dramas to premiere. Two that arrived at the tail of JoL2 has two very different outcomes – big budget high expectation Fox Spirit Matchmaker: Red Moon Pact is a dud in every way from acting to chemistry to writing to directing while comparatively lower budget with less well … 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 →
There is word that period mystery romance C-drama The Double may be airing soon, and that producer Yu Zheng has been starting to post more about the drama lends credence. Starring Wu Jin Yan and Wang Xing Yue, the drama finished late last year and is one of Yu Zheng’s pet projects for his own agency stars, pairing up the … Continue reading →
