A true ladies fight is underway for an upcoming Tencent big budget period C-drama.

So the first teaser trailer and new posters are out for iQiyi period C-drama Yun Chu’s Vengeance (Yun Chu Ling 云初令 or Cloud’s First Command) and it doesn’t look bad at all.

The petty is high on this one but its the sort of entertainment industry beef that makes for great publicity for both sides.

Immediately C-netizens surmised that it’s a diss track … Continue reading →

I needed to see this as a palate cleanser. Whatever Yu Shu Xin was giving in her recently aired modern C-drama Speed and Love was so cloying and saccharine of a performance that it felt like sugar shock by midway through. I know she can do different and more similar to her performance in My Journey to You and the … Continue reading →
I got midway through Speed and Love and then dipped for two reasons. One being it’s just okay and since I read the novel I know how it goes and ends so there isn’t the curiosity to see what happens. The second is the arrival of Shine of Me whih is addicting like crack so my limited time was allocated … Continue reading →
Whether this drama or the leads are up your alley will determine if it’s a miss or you’re speed walking to check out the first episode lol.
