Year ago this drama’s ups and downs wouldn’t even generate much gossip but in the year where there are so few current dramas filming this is definitely gotten attention. Xianxia C-drama Love in the Shell (长生骨 Chang Sheng Gu or Long Life Bone) starring Yu Shu Xin and Hou Ming Hao is back to filming, which normally isn’t a weird … Continue reading →
Every time I think I’ve seen shit go down in C-drama land, whether in the casting phase to filming problems to post-production scandals, a new iteration pops up. The drama of the week goes to xianxia romance Love in the Shell (念相思 Nian Xiang Si or Longing for My Beloved) which has only been filming for a month but has … Continue reading →
I was busy last week so these two dramas sorta air dropping caught me off guard but it’s great to see two buzzy new options arrive to give viewers more choices this summer. Love For You (Chinese title 野狗骨头 Ye Go Gu To or Wild Dog Bone) is airing on Hunan TV and streaming on Mango, starring Song Wei Long … Continue reading →
A new xianxia C-drama started filming this week and thank god it has a better title. The drama Chang Sheng Gu 长生骨 or Immortal Bone based on the novel 神仙肉 Shen Xian Rou or Fairy Meat is off to the races with the rumored leads Yu Shu Xin and Hou Ming Hao confirmed as they showed up in costume. The … Continue reading →
The xianxia C-drama formerly called Fairy Meat (神仙肉) has a new normal title Longing for My Beloved (念相思) and a new male lead. Yu Shu Xin remains the female lead and now Hou Ming Hao will be joining her rather than originally rumored male lead He Yu in a reunion pairing. The second leads will be Chen Yi Han and … Continue reading →
Well if the goal is to trade one very tall actor for another then I guess this works. But it’s totally not the same level of onscreen charisma and acting talent lol. Xianxia C-drama Fairy Meat (神仙肉 Shen Xian Ruo or Immortal Flesh) with female lead Yu Shu Xin was supposed to costar He Yu in a reunion of the … Continue reading →
A true ladies fight is underway for an upcoming Tencent big budget period C-drama. It’s title Going to Ride the Winds (我欲乘风 Wo Yu Cheng Feng) and is a period female lead centric drama adapted from a novel. The production is reportedly in talks with both Tian Xi Wei and Yu Shu Xin to pick one as the female lead, … Continue reading →
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. Female lead Yu Shu Xin has turned away from her usual cutesy or bubbling character and doing the one I loved the most, the kickass methodical and cold … Continue reading →
The petty is high on this one but its the sort of entertainment industry beef that makes for great publicity for both sides. C-actress Zhao Lu Si has been doing a side gig in singing as well the last few years and this week she released a new single titled “Stop Pretending”. Immediately C-netizens surmised that it’s a diss track … Continue reading →
So the two downsides to this project as far as I’m concerned is the terrible title and the choice for the female lead. Xianxia C-drama Fairy Meat adapted from the novel One Persistent Thought is reportedly confirmed for leads Yu Shu Xin and He Yu. This will mark a reunion after last year’s Speed and Love which was bipolar for … Continue reading →
The C-drama reunion push is strong in recent times, so many former costars have either reunited right after doing a drama or are rumored to be with scripts sent their way. Another recent pairing is Yu Shu Xin and He Yu from last week’s fauxcest romance modern C-drama Speed and Love. The two are in talks for xianxia C-drama The … Continue reading →
Filming began last week but this week iQiyi released the first set pictorial for the period C-drama Yun Chu Ling (云初令 or Cloud’s First Command). Starring Yu Shu Xin and Zhang Yun Long, the mood is more serious and darker than her usual dramas and like I previously mentioned much more in the vein of My Journey to You. I … 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 →
