It’s hard to have a hit drama but to have two in one year is an incredible achievement so kudos to C-actress Zhao Lu Si. She started with Who Rules the World with Yang Yang and midway went to the stratosphere with Love Like the Galaxy opposite Wu Lei. She got her share of the praise for the dramas rather … Continue reading →
Filming has kicked off for the C-drama adaptation of period fantasy romance novel Hidden God, the sequel in the same story that was Ancient Love Poetry. It will be Zhao Lu Si‘s first role in a xianxia drama (about time!) and she’s got top billing here so if the drama succeeds or fails will definitely impact what the industry thinks … Continue reading →
So the upcoming C-drama Hidden God (Shen Yin) did start filming this month in December right on time despite the last minute male lead casting hijinks. The first sneak peeks are here and initially it was only of the two male leads Wang An Yu and Li Yun Rui, but a day later came female lead Zhao Lu Si who … Continue reading →
So I guess fans of Love Like the Galaxy will NOT be seeing any reunion onscreen of leads Zhao Lu Si and Wu Lei, at least anytime in the near future. Perhaps a long ways out but there was talk of the two being offered the leads to a modern romance C-drama and both doing it. This week a popular … Continue reading →
So I noticed the 2022 Weibo TV and Internet Video Summit solely for the onstage pairing of Chen Fei Yu (Arthur Chen) and Dylan Wang, two sizzling in popularity young actors who happened to play the same character in Ever Night season 1 and 2. But it turns out the ladies side was wayyyyyyyy juicier and get ready for cat … Continue reading →
The Bulgari event in August was the first event I saw Zhao Lu Si at after the airing of Love Like the Galaxy and I thought she looked perfectly styled there, elegant and sleek with an updo and a low cut strapless white column gown with a tucked waist. She’s been brand ambassador for some time and last week it … Continue reading →
It’s good to have a plan B, or C, D, E, F, lol I don’t know how wide the production of C-drama Hidden God cast the net to so quickly line up a replacement male lead and not impact the filming schedule. The drama is slated to start filming at the end of the month in November and reportedly supporting … Continue reading →
Watching Asian dramas for over three decades not only has seem my tastes age as I have but it’s also followed plenty of stars from their own leading man/woman days to their playing dad/mom days. Most recently I did “what tha what?!?” when I saw Han Chae Ah playing Yook Sung Jae‘s MOM in Gold Spoon. I should have seen … Continue reading →
Well this is a totally juicy “what the hell happened behind the scenes” rumored casting scuffle. Today an entertainment blogger claimed that reputable sources are saying that C-actor Jing Bo Ran has “ran off” from the soon to start filming xianxia drama Hidden God. What is he a runaway bride lol! He was confirmed last month and the filming was … Continue reading →
This summer of 2022 was really a two-horse race of Love Between Fairy and Devil and Love Like the Galaxy, and it wasn’t for television ratings are both are web dramas but for buzz and cache. My two cents says both dramas are male lead dominant, i.e. it benefitted Dylan Wang and Wu Lei respectively more than the female leads. … Continue reading →
This isn’t quite a notable award but it is an award lol and definitely confirms the popularity of C-drama Love Like the Galaxy overseas. This weekend the Chinese American TV Festival, an off shoot of the more established Chinese American Film Festival, handed out Golden Angel Awards in the major Chinese television show categories. Winning Best Web Drama was Love … Continue reading →
I see a theme but don’t know if its intentional or coincidental. Casting is finalized (waiting for official announcement) for the upcoming C-drama adaptation of the web novel Hidden God (Shen Yin 神隐) which is the sequel to the novel that was made into the drama Ancient Love Poetry. The male lead in Hidden God is the son of the … Continue reading →
I did not watch the 202o C-drama The Romance of Tiger and Rose but it was popular and helped add to the rise of leads Zhao Lu Si and Ding Yu Xi. This week C-netizens think the former costars are dating thanks to using the same cell phone case in different colors, hers is girly purple and his is more … Continue reading →
