This drama is going head to head against Veil of Shadow to be rank in top 1 (by global ratings ofc)... I haven't…
What I can say is that both dramas are doing very well in China and have already surpassed 400 million views, making them two more successes in April.I'm happy that these two dramas are doing well; I love the cast of both dramas.
To be honest, I don't think it's doing well because this drama had an absurd amount of hype, with a trailer on YouTube internationally reaching over 700k views. But it seems that IQiYi and Wetv themselves barely promote this drama even before it premieres. I don't see much promotion besides the controversies on set, the actress being too young acting in a romance with adults, and also the expectations because of the princess's agent. I think these expectations weren't met, or maybe people just aren't watching. The audience isn't the biggest in the world either; it's even low for a drama like this with such high expectations and budget. Let's keep going, maybe the public will watch it and give it better ratings.
Finally, we're on episode 29/30! Duan Xu is such a charmer, isn't he? And our viral scene from episode 30 ๐๐๐ฅ even got through the censorship, but they didn't show much of it up close ๐ญ but it was incredible! I loved these two episodes, we needed some joy! We want episode 31 too, there's more to come ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ
Wow, I'm shocked by the low daily viewership numbers for the drama. I thought people were super hyped for it.Wetv and Iqiyi aren't even promoting this properly; it seems like there's some drama behind it, and there are controversies too...
I might sound like a fanboy because I'm enjoying the drama, but watch it without expecting anything from it; it will captivate you. It has a refreshing and interesting story, the visuals are really high quality, the OST is good, it has a more supernatural vibe, and it's easy to understand tooโit's not complicated.
