Watching this go down is like being a trio of best friends and watching two of them get into a knock down drag out fight and you don’t know who to help because you like them both. And this one was bound to happen as whenever there is a hit drama then vocal fandoms police every little detail. This week … Continue reading →
2022 has been THE breakout year for C-actress Zhao Lu Si, with two back-to-back hit dramas with Who Rules the World followed by Love Like the Galaxy. But with being “red” (i.e. popular) right now comes the requisite netizen interest and gossip column attention. Recently a well known entertainment gossip site was asked about whether Zhao Lu Si was dating … Continue reading →
Two of this summer 2022 hit C-dramas will be coupled up for a forthcoming xianxia drama adapted from a novel. It’s called Hidden Gods (神隐 Shen Yin) and is the sequel to the novel and drama Ancient Love Poetry which starred Xu Kai and Zhou Dong Yu to mixed reviews. Apparently the male lead in Hidden Gods is their son … Continue reading →
My Love Like the Galaxy babies are back to being actual babies again! Wu Lei looks like all the weight of the world is off his shoulders and his supreme dork self is out in full force and Zhao Lu Si is just the cutest ball of sunshine ever. I finished LLTG two weeks ago as the production released the … Continue reading →
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 流量 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 →
