Stranger Things showed that science fiction can work beautifully when combined with stories about growing up, offering both exciting thrills and genuine emotional moments – something few shows do as well. But its popularity isn’t just about the sci-fi elements. The series also draws heavily from the horror genre, using scary creatures, supernatural threats, and a creepy atmosphere to build suspense.
I don’t think The Sopranos actually created the antihero – there were plenty before Tony Soprano, and lots more after. But I do believe it kicked off a whole new wave of TV. It really changed things and paved the way for so many of the complex characters we see on television today.

As a huge fantasy fan, when people ask about the best fantasy films, The Lord of the Rings always comes up, and rightfully so! But for me, The NeverEnding Story was the film that first truly captivated me. It didn’t just show a battle against evil; it presented something far more unsettling – The Nothing. It wasn’t just about fighting a villain like Sauron, but about the disappearance of entire worlds, and that idea was genuinely terrifying and stuck with me ever since.

The current controversy stems from a long-running disagreement over who should be credited with writing the screenplay for Blossoms Shanghai. In 2022, a former crew member named Cheng Junnian, writing under the pseudonym Gu Er, began posting on WeChat about his experiences working on the show. After the show aired in 2023, listing Qin Wen as the sole screenwriter, Cheng publicly accused her of taking credit for his work. According to the World Journal, Cheng claims he originally was meant to be the writer and director of Blossoms Shanghai and had spent three years developing the scripts. He alleges that Qin Wen, who won an award for Best Adapted Screenplay at the 2024 Magnolia Awards, only made minor changes to his work and presented it as her own. Cheng says he was then demoted to Wong’s personal assistant, earning only 3,000 yuan a month (around $424). Despite being credited as a preproduction script editor, he claims his duties ranged from writing key plotlines to running personal errands for Wong, like cooking and bringing him snacks. Cheng, who has Kennedy’s disease, also alleges he was bullied at work and that when he requested time off due to worsening symptoms from the stressful job, Wong responded dismissively.
