Viewers have eyes and we can see onscreen and offscreen star chemistry (or lack thereof) clear as day.

But this week as the two attended a Tencent … Continue reading →

I don’t know which title is blander for this modern C-drama, the Chinese title of 爱你 (Ai Ni) or Love You/Loving You or the English title of The Best Thing. It’s like creativity and originality took a nap during naming session. To be fair to the drama, its adapted from the novel Loving You Is the Best Thing I Have … Continue reading →
