So earlier this week I already covered the news that xianxia C-drama Love of the Divine Tree with Deng Wei was confirmed to air on February 7th this Friday on iQiyi. A few days later Youku announced that it was airing Tang dynasty C-drama Kill My Sins with Liu Shi Shi, Shawn Dou, and Zheng Ye Cheng also on February … Continue reading →
Well, here’s another one that can be skipped, unless the reviews get better which is always a possibility. Earlier in the year another female lead becomes business head to save the family drama Blossoms in Adversity also premiered to poor reviews but really turned the tide as the drama went on. But for now Brocade Odyssey which premiered this past … Continue reading →
Streaming platform Youku just finished one female lead centric commerce drama with The Story of Pearl Girl dealing with jewelry making and now it’s following right up with Brocade Odyssey centered in the world of weaving and fabric. The drama premiered today on November 30th and stars Tan Song Yun with Zheng Ye Cheng along with second leads Jing Chao … Continue reading →
So the reception to the female empowerment, growth, and overcoming adversity aspect of currently airing C-drama The Story of Pearl Girl isn’t getting a lot of love from viewers. But the genre remains a frequently tapped on and earlier this year there was Blossoms in Adversity and coming up next is Brocade Odyssey.

I really loved the first … Continue reading →

He has enough scenes to … Continue reading →
I feel like Tang dynasty period C-drama Brocade Odyssey is one of those long on the shelf projects just waiting for release but my recollection is totally off as the drama filmed in Q4 2024. That means if it airs in the coming weeks it’s actually arriving earlier than expected but the timing is good for the cast as female … Continue reading →
There is a spate of Tang dynasty dramas coming out way and I’ve been following along with the two big ones that filmed this year with Zhao Lu Si in Story of Pearl Girl and Yang Zi with Flourished Peony.

So it’s a relief that this cast for the C-drama Kill My Sins is basically solid across the board and has no problematic stars in the mix. Now the drama just has to be actually good and it’ll be one of those watches that doesn’t come with baggage. Kill My Sins kicked off filming this week with leads Liu Shi … Continue reading →
The word brocade in Chinese will be further associated with C-actress Tan Song Yun, after her hit C-drama The Sword and the Brocade a few years ago she’s back in period land as filming just started for the C-drama Shu Brocade Family (literal translation of 蜀锦人家). Her male lead will be Zheng Ye Cheng which means she’s top billing as … Continue reading →
