So the English title is Love’s Ambition for the C-drama adapted from the novel Let Me Shine, and this week filming commenced with leads Zhao Lu Si and William Chan. This pairing is already generating talk both positive and negative as to be expected, it’s hard to be popular without accompanying commentary. I see the second leads are Wan Peng … Continue reading →
So C-dramas typically release stills on major holidays in the full year or more leading up to the premiere.

So C-actress Zhao Lu Si and her partnership with Italian couture house Versace is not off to a good start this year. Her attendance in Macau last month got a lot of negative feedback for her outfit, makeup, and her general visuals. She’s tiny and petite, totally beautiful but not the type of towering model looks that can pull off … Continue reading →
C-actress Zhao Lu Si wrapped Tang dynasty period drama The Story of Pearl Girl (formerly known as The Legend of Jewelry) earlier this year and is reportedly intentionally not doing another project right away.

If we go back just through the decades in our own lives it’s clear that some looks/fashion just worked then but not objectively a good outfit. That’s how I view the entirety of Tang Dynasty in terms of female fashion in ancient China. From the hair to the gowns, it’s a tough look to pull off and kudos to both … Continue reading →
