The drama has her being the hearty butcher’s … Continue reading →
I think this drama just started filming a few weeks ago but with Valentine’s Day last week everyone and their mother’s released a couple’s poster so we get an early first look at Tencent period romance The Road to Glory. Starring Zhang Ling He and Lin Yun, I love him and am so allergic to her and wish I can … Continue reading →
So C-actress Zhao Jin Mai has become the latest “collector of flower boys” so to speak, whenever an actress does successive dramas with a bunch of hottie actors she becomes the lucky one so to speak. She recently did Shine on Me with Song Wei Long but also did back-to-back dramas The Princess Royal and Our Generation with Zhang Ling … Continue reading →
This new year 2026 is off to new C-dramas kicking off filming that I am looking forward to. This one is a mixed bag from the casting alone but I will hope for the best. Tencent period C-drama The Road to Glory (Chinese title 归鸾 Gui Luan) will star Zhang Ling He and Lin Yun (Jelly Lin) as the leads … Continue reading →
A new C-drama has recently been cast and is slated to start filming in December 2025 so two months from now. It’s titled Gui Luan (歸鸞) where Gui means returning and Luan is a fictional mythical bird related to the phoenix.

This drama likely won’t air until 2026, and hopefully earlier in the year because I am so excited for it! C-drama Overdo with Zhang Ling He and Wang Chu Ran released a first short teaser trailer recently and it drops the viewers into a tight maelstrom of action. The trailer has no dialogue and is just a fast-paced vignette of … Continue reading →
Awwww, such a bummer that the little lightning that made The Princess Royal such a solid watch didn’t hit twice in their second outing. Zhao Jin Mai and Zhang Ling He reunited to film Our Generation immediately after TPR aired last year and maybe in their haste didn’t fully vet this drama plot out because OG is being called a … Continue reading →
This coming week will see the arrival of Our Generation (Chinese title 樱桃琥珀 Cherry Amber) on Youku on July 14th. It was expected to air in July but the drama starring Zhao Jin Mai and Zhang Ling He will not have as broad a distribution as initially intimated. There was talk that the drama would also air terrestrially on CCTV … Continue reading →
I love how fast C-netizens and their tabloids get the most current visuals of on set drama filming. It’s just days ago that filming started for Republic era period C-drama Overdo (Chinese title 这一秒过火 This Second Overheat) adapted from the novel by writer Fei Wo Si Can best known for bringing the angst and tormented love pain. The official character … Continue reading →
A new big budget high profile C-drama has kicked off filming and it’s the Tencent and iQiyi joint production of Overdo (Chinese title 这一秒过火 Zhe Yi Miao Guo Huo or This Second Overheat). It’s a Republic era period drama adapted from a popular romance novel by writer Fei Wo Si Cun and will star Zhang Ling He and Wang Chu … Continue reading →
Viewers have eyes and we can see onscreen and offscreen star chemistry (or lack thereof) clear as day. So from the first trailer released of Tencent period romance C-drama Chasing Jade with Zhang Ling He and Tian Xi Wei last month it’s clear the leads have loads of chemistry in character. But this week as the two attended a Tencent … Continue reading →
Oh I am not happy hearing this. Nothing good ever comes from big cuts to episode length, while smaller incisions could work either to slim fluff or at least not impact the whole story. Modern school age to adult romance Our Generation (Chinese title Cherry Amber) with Zhao Jin Mai and Zhang Ling He has been cut from the original … Continue reading →
So this is one of the fastest reunions in C-dramas among OTP leads and I couldn’t be happier. Zhao Jin Mai and Zhang Ling He went from their period C-drama The Princess Royal airing to good reviews and reception to being reunited and kicking off filming of modern growth romance C-drama Our Generation (Chinese title 樱桃琥珀 Ying Tao Hu Puo … Continue reading →
