A Koala's Playground Posted on November 25, 2023 by ockoalaNovember 24, 2023
Young couple in a tense romantic moment.

So I’m a little behind on all my dramas some that I intend to watch I just haven’t had the bandwidth to start and that includes recently premiered period drama Story of Kunning Palace. Starring Bai Lu and Zhang Ling He, the drama was abruptly pulled from premiere in May the day off and then suddenly released in November now … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 26, 2023 by ockoalaOctober 27, 2023

So I expect this drama to have tons of male actor names associated with it but this one makes sense. C-ent insiders are saying Zhang Ling He and his side has signed an interest commitment as the male lead opposite Dilraba Dilmurat in her upcoming fantasy life jumping revenge drama Wan Zha Chao Huang. It will apparently have one main … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 14, 2023 by ockoalaOctober 13, 2023

Lol I can’t believe on the heel of writing an article about C-actor Zhang Ling He maybe becoming overexposed from doing too many dramas in a row, he goes and starts filming another one. I like the guy but he needs one massive hit to really justify how he keeps getting cast recently. Filming has kicked off for period C-drama … Continue reading →

Man in dark traditional robe, contemplative look

The Zhang Ling He is everywhere talk has been building and kinda crescendo’d this week with insider talks of him in yet another C-drama. He’s done 8 (!) straight iQiyi C-dramas in a row in the span of 3 years, including supporting, cameo, and lead roles and while some have been mega hits like Love Between Fairy and Devil or … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 30, 2023 by ockoalaSeptember 30, 2023
Dramatic scene with warriors in traditional costumes.

So C-actor Zhang Ling He went from no dramas to what may be three dramas in less than two months time airing. The xianxia drama Tiger and Crane just announced an October 2nd premiere on iQiyi after total silence on this one basically since it filmed in early 2022. Starring Zhang Ling He with Jiang Long as a dual male … Continue reading →

My Journey to You Likely to NOT Have a Second Season with Leads Yu Shu Xin and Zhang Ling He Reportedly Mad at Director Guo Jingming After Script and Directing Makes the Second Leads More Popular

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 18, 2023 by ockoalaOctober 24, 2023

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 →

My Journey to You Wraps with Final 7-episode Drop in One Day Delivering a Finale with Taut Satisfying Precision

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 15, 2023 by ockoalaSeptember 15, 2023
Woman in white robe wielding a sword.

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 →

C-drama My Journey to You with Yu Shu Xin and Zhang Ling He Heads Into Final Stretch Still Visually Sumptuous But Hilariously a Wufeng Dating Service for the Gong Family Men

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 14, 2023 by ockoalaSeptember 14, 2023
Two characters in an ancient setting.

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 →

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 11, 2023 by ockoalaSeptember 10, 2023
Two figures holding umbrellas in ancient attire.

So Zhang Ling He has also grown on me in currently airing visually sumptuous period drama My Journey to You, took me a bit what with his adorable large front teeth and chipmunk cheeks being a tad distracting initially. But his completely on point acting for the role of sweet, optimistic, and sheltered Gong Zi Yu is just the warm … Continue reading →

My Journey to You Director Guo Jingming Uses Stage Name in Drama and Song Writing Credits and C-netizens Split on Whether He Should Comeback after 2020 Plagiarism Scandal

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 8, 2023 by ockoalaSeptember 8, 2023
Romantic scene from "My Journey to You."

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 →

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 4, 2023 by ockoalaSeptember 3, 2023

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 →
