This weekend was the 2023 iQiyi Scream Awards held in Macau and the young and pretty C-stars were out in attendance. This was a streaming platform event so the winners isn’t anything more that the platform paid to do their productions or will be doing one so it was more a social event than anything. I’m there for the C-actress … Continue reading →
So this tiny news blip is just funny because it’s so absurd either way. C-actress Yu Shu Xin did a Paris stay recently to attend fashion shows and shoot material and recently she uploaded a picture of her crouched on the ground with a glass of champagne after doing a street shoot.

Ooooh, melon and behind the scenes cattiness, I love it! Melons are of course rumors so take it with a grain of salt. C-drama My Journey to You can be summed up as a mixed bag, it got viewership and buzz but was split down the middle in terms of likes and dislikes. It didn’t hurt the careers of director … Continue reading →
Period C-drama My Journey to You ended unexpectedly this Friday as iQiyi went from a snail pace one episode a day to dropping the final 7-episodes in one sitting for the finale. Now that it’s over, I can safely say this is my second favorite summer 2023 C-drama after Lost You Forever but totally it’s own unique specimen in an … Continue reading →
So My Journey to You has been my most 180-degrees about turn in opinion for both leads Yu Shu Xin and Zhang Ling He as well as for director Guo Jingming. That it mostly releases 1 episode a day has made the slow burn even more painfully delightful, it gives me chance to savor each episode and really take in … Continue reading →
So word on the street is that Sword and Fairy, adapted from hit game Chinese Paladin 6, will be premiering soon. Maybe as early as this month in September, continuing the recent trend of airing a drama after getting a permit to avoid any unexpected snafus.

So I was never ever a Guo Jingming (Edward Guo) fan when he was huge in the mid-2010’s when he wrote those books and did Tiny Times movie series and L.O.R.D. the movie. What little I saw was all flash no substance. So I’m as surprised as any that I love C-drama My Journey to You which has both flash … Continue reading →
It’s like everyone has a bone this week, and honestly its been kinda unnerving for the last few months in C-ent overall. Air dropped dramas, last minute “postponements”, scandals, fan wars, it’s like roiling waves when all I want is calm waters. After the premiere of The Journey of You two days ago, the complaints have started and it’s quite … Continue reading →
Alrighty, what a nice Labor Day long weekend surprise for me and something new to nibble on. iQiyi released period C-drama My Journey to You on September 2nd with zero warning and promotion just dropping 3 episodes to kick off its run. The drama had to go through massive last minute editing last month to scrub a supporting character after … Continue reading →
So with the summer coming to a close it appears iQiyi wants to squeeze in one more high profile C-drama and it’s reportedly going to be My Journey to You (The Wing of Clouds) with Zhang Ling He and Yu Shu Xin (Esther Yu).
