Congrats to the cast of Queen of Tears for achieving ratings of 24.850% for its Ep 16 finale episode and broke tvN’s Crash Landing record to become tvN #1 highest ratings drama. That aside, Ep 16 is also makjang in a way that I couldn’t believe some of its plot points, a continuation from the prev episode, but I really enjoyed this drama especially from Ep 1 to 12, it goes downhill from Ep 13 but I am glad we got our happy ending in the final episode after so much tears, ups, downs and unbelievable plot points towards the end. I guess at the end of the day, everything adds up, everytime the pl ..read more

Ep 15 got 21.056%, it’s higher than last Saturday but still not beating last Sunday’s. HaeIn came back to South Korea after one month and during this time, HyunWoo has been in jail looking for clues to defend himself of the murder charge. (Whut?! In jail for a month?) HaeIn decided to know her enemy (brainwashed by EunSang) and visited HyunWoo who is in jail. She couldn’t remember much but is definitely curious about why she had married him in the first place. She even stalked him together with Secretary Na after he was found not guilty and came out of jail. HaeIn also did not want HyunWoo to ..read more

Alot of things are happening or planned for Queen of Tears this past week leading to their final episodes ep 15 and ep 16 which is due to air tonight 0427 and tomorrow 0428. Firstly, the broadcasting timing has been brought forward to 9.10pm KST, 10 minutes earlier than its usual timing – this is likely more important for South Korea viewers simply because of the the ratings that they need to bring in to break Crash Landing’s record. tvN must be hoping this would happen as they have a post on their IG announcing a new ratings promise that would be something of BaekHong. What it is, I’m not sur ..read more

Will Love In Spring starring Li Xian and Zhou YuTong announced its air date on April 22nd, and released a new trailer. It will be on CCTV and Tencent. Before this, there were a few promo clips showcasing the chemistry between the two leads, and they were literally kissing or shooting sparks everywhere. But what surprised me in this new trailer is that the female lead Zhuang Jie is handicapped – on top of that, male lead Chen MaiDong is a funeral makeup artist, well double surprise. To prove herself, Zhuang Jie leaves the town to carve a career while Chen MaiDong stayed behind and became what h ..read more

The final episodes are out tonight, ep 29 and ep 30 for Tencent VIPs, thus the cast is saying goodbye all around, but I only took a grab of Wu Lei’s goodbye post. Zhao JinMai posted a video for saying goodbye too. Wu Lei posted a goodbye on his weibo and he said that the first time he met Lin YiYang, he wanted to know him already, but now it’s time for them to part ways as they have each their own path to cross. He also thanked everyone who liked the drama and wished everyone is as likeable as Lin and Xiao Guo. The pictures are some of the behind the scenes. 2-2 to 18-2 and we are done, I ..read more

Yesterday it was announced that Amidst a Snowstorm of Love would have a special broadcast for Valentine’s Day, gathering the cast together at 5pm today and the Tencent VIPs can purchase all the remaining 6 episodes to the final episode. Woah, so fast it’s ending – 30 episodes doesn’t seem enough to get to know Lin YiYang and Yin Guo. The live broadcast of the cast would start at 5pm and end at 6.30pm China time – the cast would likely join virtually and not in person which is such a pity. Below pic is where the production team updated the airing calendar to announce the purchase of the remain ..read more

If anyone is watching, this week we have EP 27 to 31, basically of Qian Heng (Chen XingXu) and Cheng Yao (Zhang RuoNan) getting together and dating successfully. The couple also had their first kiss (lips to lips) successfully in ep 27 and the C-netizens were complaining that “that” is late for a rom-com which is quite right as we usually have the kisses earlier. But this also goes to show that people are watching without the sizzling lips chemistry, and I for one, am enjoying their little moments together when they are working on the law cases. There is some progress in the story as ..read more

My Boss <你也有今天> a rom-com on YouKu, stars Chen XingXu and Zhang RuoNan. The literal translation of its Chinese title is “You also have today” and it means that you have done something (usually bad) in the past to get what you deserved today, the English title is just disappointing again. And so, who is who, Chen XingXu is Qian Heng, lawyer boss of a boutique law firm and Zhang RuoNan is Cheng Yao, an aspiring lawyer who just joined his law firm, wanting to be a good lawyer. Qian Heng has insomnia and seeks alternative methods to cure it, basically advice from his lawyer partner Wu Jun ..read more

First Love <初次爱你> stars Tian XiWei and Wang XingYue in a college setting. It is pretty recent, airing just last year Dec, but it has fallen my radar anyhow. My guess is its clips are making rounds on Weibo now due to Tian and Wang’s recent dramas so their fans have been sharing this drama’s clips and I got interested and started watching the OTP parts. Lu WanWan (starring Tian XiWei) is a Year-2 student of the medical major. She has been having a crush on her best friend and when she found out that her best friend is dating her BFF, she got drunk and vowed to woo the best student from he ..read more

Perfect And Casual <完美先生和差不多小姐> depicts a perfect statistics professor who lives by numbers and a student who lives by with “more or less” in her life thus the C-name of the drama, literally Mr. Perfect and Ms. “Almost There”. And I watched this drama because of Wei ZheMing (Hello, I’m At Your Service) and Xu RuoHan (The Forbidden Flower). I’ve gotta say it’s a very pleasant surprise. The drama is surprisingly well-plotted (based on the little material they have), with dialogue that makes sense between the OTP and the perfect chemistry between the leads, I find myself watching most of t ..read more
