Over the weekend saw the premiere of new iQiyi period romance and revenge C-drama Spring of the Blade (一瓯春 Yi Ou Chun) adapted from the same name web novel. Starring Xu Kai and Zhou Ye, the drama is so far off to an average start. The highest it has hit is 8000 within the streaming portal so far and probably … Continue reading →
C-ent is starting off the first week of July scalding hot in terms of tea. Over the weekend, mini drama female lead actress Guo Yu Xin made all the hot searches after an audio was leaked of her complaining about wearing the same outfit twice with Zhou Ye, who is a much more successful and famous actress, but Guo Yu … Continue reading →
If true this is still a giant nothing burger but it’s definitely making waves in C-ent. I guess netizens just can’t handle good looking young adults dating even in 2026. This week C-actress Zhou Ye found herself top of the search thanks to pictures and videos released of alleged her in close embrace and kisses an unknown young man. Netizens … Continue reading →
Lol, so even Chinese people think all Asians look alike haha. This is such a dumb mistake and a minor online furor but I do feel bad for actress Zhang Jing Yi. She was a guest on the variety show Hello Saturday (Hi6) this weekend and viewers noticed that a placard with her name on it had another actress Zhou … Continue reading →
No matter how much changes in C-drama production many things remain the same. Recently the upcoming period C-drama Spring of the Blade (一瓯春 Yi Ou Chun) finished filming last year and is on deck for release in the second half of this year.

There is usually only a few points up or down movement with Douban ratings on any drama after it comes out, and the hope is always to gain a few points if possible with a strong ending. Legend of the Female General ended its two week run today and the Douban ratings dropped by a point down to 5.4, and … Continue reading →
The C-drama Legend of the Female General, adapted from the popular and very fun novel Rebirth of a Star General, is my biggest C-drama disappointment of 2025 so far. It’s not as bad as some other C-dramas but since it came with such high expectation due to my love for the source novel it makes the wholly mediocre drama version … Continue reading →
Yesterday was D-Day for those of us (memememe!) waiting for the premiere of Legend of the Female General, adapted from a novel by Qian Shan Cha Ke titled Rebirth of a Star General. Tencent had to delay the drama for six months due to the scandal with a male supporting lead and then filming his scenes with a different actor … Continue reading →
The delayed but still much awaited arrival (for me) of period revenge and romance C-drama Legend of the Female General is finally coming! Tencent will premiere the drama on August 6th and hopefully spend this week prior doing solid promos. After the abrupt cancellation of one of the main supporting leads and needing to AI faceswap his character with another … Continue reading →
The new promos for Legend of the Female General bodes well for the insider chatter that Tencent will release it in August 2025. That’s less than two months from now, but six months longer than the originally scheduled February release that was scuttled due to the scandal and alleged misconduct by the supporting male lead. He’s since been AI-face swapped … Continue reading →
Their first drama together got only mid reception and reviews but both have since become more popular so this reunion project is a promising possibility. C-ent casting is saying that period C-drama Xing Zhi Wan è¡Œæ¢æ™š is now in serious talks with Zhou Ye as the female lead and she has indicated strong likelihood of accepting. The male lead has … Continue reading →
While being super addicted to currently airing C-drama The Prisoner of Beauty, I’m still majorly anticipating and excited for the adaptation of Legend of the Female General as I love that novel even more. The drama was supposed to air around lunar new year earlier this year but was pulled due to scandal of the supporting male lead and his … Continue reading →
The wait for Legend of the Female General may be nearing the end, after an aborted attempt to premiere early this year in January got scuttled due to the scandal of a major male supporting lead. The production quickly decided to re-film his scenes with a new actor and AI face swap into the drama. That has been finished now … Continue reading →
