Wow, this is such a wild start for xianxia C-drama Love Game in Eastern Fantasy with Yu Shu Xin and Ding Yu Xi.

I don’t follow K-pop but everyone has heard of how popular Jang Won Young is and seen … Continue reading →
So there is a bit of bad publicity is better than no publicity. C-actress Yu Shu Xin has been criticized in C-drama after C-drama where she dubs her own character and chooses to use an absolutely ear numbing cutesy voice.
