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 →
The entire month of May felt interminably long and yet also wild that it’s near the end. This weekend stars June and on Sunday the 2nd we will see another big C-drama arrive in The Double. Produced by love him-hate him troll extraordinaire Yu Zheng and starring Wu Jing Yan and Wang Xing Yue, from the latest preview and all … Continue reading →
I feel like The Blood of Youth was just a precursor to C-ent trying to make all three male actors happen, from Li Hong Yi to Liu Xue Yi to Ao Rui Peng and I just don’t feel like for any of them. But they are happening in 2024 as male leads and for Liu Xue Yi he is currently … Continue reading →

He recently shared an interview and discussed how his actress Wu Jing Yan under his agency has not done a drama in over a year and explained that it was intentional as he … Continue reading →
So I noticed the 2022 Weibo TV and Internet Video Summit solely for the onstage pairing of Chen Fei Yu (Arthur Chen) and Dylan Wang, two sizzling in popularity young actors who happened to play the same character in Ever Night season 1 and 2. But it turns out the ladies side was wayyyyyyyy juicier and get ready for cat … Continue reading →
So I skipped Story of Yanxi Palace when it aired in 2018 as by then I had lost interest in C-dramas and also because it’s a Yu Zheng produced drama and that man is the trolliest of all trolls. It also looked like a weaksauce copycat version of The Legend of Zhen Huan (Empresses in the Palace). Yanxi was there … Continue reading →
