I love Italian jewelry house Bulgari and now I have reason to enjoy their China pictorials even more as C-actor Wu Lei and C-actress Zhao Lu Si are both one of their brand ambassadors. It’s been a week since their Han dynasty C-drama Love Like the Galaxy wrapped and it’s great timing to see them reunited in real life at … Continue reading →
Liuliang is a BIG DEAL in C-ent, and liuliang stands for ęµé which is flow volume and in Chinese slang it now means online volume in either search, posts, or data. The top young C-ent stars are frequently referred to a liuliang stars for their dedicated online fan army who play a big role in generating the online volume for … Continue reading →
I don’t know if there will be a Director’s Cut but there is definitely for sure extra scenes and dialogue filmed for Love Like the Galaxy out there. Diving into the sweet abyss of official BTS videos released by the production, who are basically crack dealers during the entire run, I can see leads Zhao Lu Si and Wu Lei … Continue reading →
Wow, I feel like I just ran a marathon, tired but so satisfied. Period C-drama Love Like the Galaxy ended today with 56-episodes, the production released the final 10 episodes in one swoop and assembled the available cast members for a live watch stream. As expected, the entire drama that started with General Ling Bu Yi investigating black market weapon … Continue reading →
Oh god, my little Stars and Moon heart may not be ready for this and definitely not ready to say goodbye so unexpectedly. On August 17th the production of C-drama Love Like the Galaxy (part 1: The Stars Are Brilliant, part 2: The Moon Rises Over the Ocean) did a mic drop and announced that the big finale of the … Continue reading →
It takes a village to raise a child so the saying goes, and similarly it takes an fully well-written story to deliver a true drama powerhouse. I’ve enjoyed and even loved dramas on the strength of the OTP alone but that rush of feeling evaporates after the drama is done, like consuming cotton candy. The dramas that stick with me … Continue reading →
Ooooh this pairing is so up my alley! C-ent casting blogs are saying that Allen Ren and Zhao Lu Si are cast in an upcoming period drama. It’s called Sword Comes (or Sword Arrives) a short two word title but from the title it’s clearly a wuxia drama and not a xianxia (fantasy) drama. Both have had hit dramas in … Continue reading →
Well, one way to temper small(ish) complaints is to pour so much onscreen chemistry on the viewers that everyone is fanning themselves and no one has time to notice the other stuff anymore. C-drama Love Like the Galaxy is off to 18-episodes aired through three weeks, a glacial pace compared to other streaming high profile dramas which tend to drop … Continue reading →
C-drama Love Like the Galaxy was high profile prior to airing because it was adapted from the novel by the same writer as The Story of Minglan and had two reuniting leads Wu Lei and Zhao Lu Si who costarred in The Long Ballad though not as the OTP in there. I got interested due to the bit of pre-airing … Continue reading →
This isn’t a total dumpster fire (yet) but it’s certainly the leading news story in the C-ent rags this week with the premiere of big budget period C-drama Love Like the Galaxy hitting like a sack of bricks. It’s predecessor drama A Dream of Splendor with Crystal Liu and Chen Xiao was a massive hit and even more impressive was … Continue reading →
Hit period C-drama A Dream of Splendor ended last week and taking its place was supposed to be another highly anticipated period C-drama Love Like the Galaxy (Xin Han Can Lan). Starring Wu Lei and Zhao Lu Si, the drama has instead had to deal with more articles being written about the costume (and to a lesser extent hairstyle) controversy. … Continue reading →
That addicting but kinda hot mess of a fantasy xianxia C-drama The Blue Whisper with Allen Ren and Dilraba Dilmurat definitely opened the door again for my interest in period C-dramas. Right after The Blue Whisper a big budget highly anticipated C-drama Who Rules the World aired starring Yang Yang and Zhao Lu Si and I checked out the first … Continue reading →
