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 →

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 →

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.

The word on the street is that this drama may be one of those sudden airings on Tencent especially as winter arrives the the whole backdrop of the overseas scenes was filmed in the dead of … Continue reading →
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 →

The cast already went back to film in China so with this end of filming the production released a full set of character stills with … Continue reading →
