So I’m not sure this is a great achievement to have done but it’s definitely quite a feat. C-netizens are discussing actor Zhang Ling He this week after he’s currently filming a modern C-drama Our Generation but already signed on for his next C-drama starting filming once this one is done. This is not unusual, what is unusual is how … Continue reading →
The C-drama is titled Zhu Yu 逐玉 or Chasing Jade and is based a same name novel and will now get an adaptation.

So word in the industry is that C-actress Bai Lu is always in dating scandals not of her own side doing. Many actors and actresses will personally leak dating rumors to drum up interest and publicity but for her it’s not that, it’s more that she has really good chemistry with her onscreen costars and maybe could have dated one … Continue reading →
The time-traveling do-over period couple from The Princess Royal have now transmigrated to modern times into the bodies of high school students and friends-turned-lovers in what might be the quickest onscreen reunion in recent memory. Zhao Jin Mai and Zhang Ling He are confirmed for the C-drama adaptation of Cherry Amber that has the English drama title Our Generation. The … Continue reading →
So all signs point to the imminent arrival of this C-drama despite the lack of confirmation and promotion, so typical these days to air drop and let the buzz carry itself. iQiyi is reportedly releasing Reborn for Love this week the end of July or maybe into the beginning of August, with a current lull in buzzy C-dramas on air … Continue reading →
The 2024 summer C-dramas has been decent, better than the spring season earlier. Period rebirth palace intrigue C-drama The Princess Royal with Zhao Jin Mai and Zhang Ling He just ended its 40-episode run this weekend and the Douban ratings are also out with a mid 6.7. I think it’s probably a few points too low, this drama was really … Continue reading →
Well The Princess Royal fans (me included!) are in for a treat as C-ent is all but confirming that Zhao Jin Mai and Zhang Ling He are teaming up for a round two. Or round three, since their TPR characters are already on their own round two haha. They have been cast in the C-drama Our Generation adapted from the … Continue reading →
So the end of The Double nicely dovetailed for me right into the start of The Princess Royal. It’s not the same vibes or addictiveness though, TPR is slower and less makjang in that thrilling way TD delivered beat after beat of getting a satisfying revenge payoff, but instead lets a second chance marriage and romance develop in lovely beats. … Continue reading →
The 2024 summer C-drama wave is here for realz, last week premiered Follow Your Heart starring Luo Yun Xi and Song Yi to kick it off and this week comes The Princess Royal with Zhao Jin Mai and Zhang Ling He. Earlier premieres Fox Spirit Matchmaker: Red Moon Pact and The Double were both late spring dramas and now we … Continue reading →
It’s been a good couple of months in C-drama land, I feel like there was always a drama to check out and/or watch since The Legend of Shen Li arrived in March, or maybe earlier since In Blossom became a dark horse hit. So The Double is ending this week and I’m glad there is news of upcoming dramas on … Continue reading →
I’ve only ever watched Zhang Ling He in period dramas so this will be a refreshing change of onscreen image for him. He’s signed on for the modern romance C-drama adapted from the novel by writer Sheng Li titled Loving You is the Best Thing I Ever Did. The drama will start filming shortly and the female lead is Xu … Continue reading →
The first big C-ent party of 2024 was this weekend with the 2023 Weibo Night celebration that brought out nearly all the popular stars in the industry. Yang Zi and Zhu Yi Long took home the top awards Weibo Queen and King but it’s a popularity award of course. The rest of the awards all fete the stars with notable … Continue reading →
I think after a few well made dramas for Zhang Ling He, namely My Journey to You and Story of Kunning Palace last year and in 2022 there was Love Between Fairy and Devil, whether as supporting or as male lead he’s been in enough hits to not be considered trying hard and not having results. I say this because … Continue reading →
