My mind isn’t making the connection on whether Zhao Jin Mai and Liu Hao Cun have any project past or present together to warrant this joint pictorial but here it is, two of C-ent’s promising young lead actresses together in one spread featuring Miu Miu. I actually love the emerging from an egg image both have that gamine and very … Continue reading →
I live for constant drama casting roulette because its fun to ponder potential pairings even if it doesn’t pan out. This past month has had a lot of discussion over the casting of the C-drama adaptation of Gu Man novel Blazing Sunlight. Names tossed around, rumors of stars vying for the lead, and now there is another two names rising … 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 →
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 →
There’s a reason when a star or a project succeeds it’s is either called the successor to a prior such success or future stars and projects will be compared to it. For stars especially a successful one is boxed in with an image – for actresses it’s the haughty queen, quirky hipster, cool girl, sweet girl-next-door, etc. and the same … 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 →
This C-drama adaptation of the youth romance novel Cherry Amber (English title Our Generation) has been in talks for a few years now but it’s normal in C-ent for a long lead up to the casting. Prior years have floated the possibility of Wu Lei and Zhao Lu Si reuniting for this but both have leveled up and moved on. … Continue reading →
So I first heard this drama adaptation of the novel Cherry Amber two years ago when it was rumored to star Zhao Lu Si with either Wu Lei or Chen Zhe Yuan as the male lead. Since then it’s more of a smaller budget production and this week is back on the casting circuit with news that it’s being offered … Continue reading →
With C-drama Amidst a Snowstorm of Love with Wu Lei and Zhao Jin Mai, I feel like a mom who should be having fun watching their kid compete in a game but instead I zoned out but will perk up to clap loudly should he/she win the match kind of situation. The modern sports themed romance C-drama just wrapped its … Continue reading →
Mark your calendars folks as Amidst a Snowstorm of Love is blowing our way on February 2nd in less than two days. The modern romance drama set in the world of competitive billiards (pool and snooker) stars Wu Lei and Zhao Jin Mai in a fresh visual pairing with also strong acting talents. It may also be Wu Lei’s last … 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 →
