Ha, hahahaha, hahahahahahahaha OMG who thought up this idea much less considered it a good idea and made it a reality. The concept posters and first promos are out for wuxia period C-drama The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng (Chinese title Feng Wu Jiu Tian 凤舞九天) and it’s the most unintentionally hilarious thing I’ve seen in years.

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.

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.
