Congratulations, The Best Thing!

iQIYI, through Yang Xinghua (President of iQIYI Film & Overseas Business) just announced at the 13th China Audiovisual Conference that The Best Thing is the best performing modern drama in overseas in 2025! 🎉🎉

It ranked Top 1 on iQIYI’s overseas popularity charts, the related topic on TikTok has exceeded 1.1 billion views, it scored as high as 8.8 on kisskh, and during its premiere period, it ranked No.1 in google search trends across multiple key markets!

They’ve all gotten so close quickly!
It makes me happy too that finally Xu Ruohan is now getting into the variety world.

It’s the same directors, I believe 😂 Still waiting for its MDL official page for more details.

you’re still at ep 30. you would understand why people called it poor writing after you finish ep 40. Nonetheless, it’s still a nice show.

The poor writing always gets talked about on Reddit. Discussions there are more level-headed as not too many biased fans.

Not so sure about that but they still count the online streams for sure. iQIYI still keeps updating about The Best Thing still ranks on top.

The Best Thing!

Those are his sponsored clothes. He’s a Gucci ambassador, and some others.

so far, rumor has it that it will be in Q2

I’m so scared for the Eng subs. This is getting released in MangoTV 😭😭

*Love Song In Summer

Riiiight? To the point that they now have a separate full-length drama together. They just jad their booting ceremony today for Love Story In Summer 😍

There are parts that she and Linghe dubbed, but check the full
cast. Li Min is listed as Shen Xi Fan’s voice actor and Yi Fan as He Su Ye’s. Yi Fan is the go-to voice actor of Linghe as they have similar voice, he also dubs him in Pursuit of Jade.

This drama’s formula really hooks those who aren’t fond of this kind of genre. The way it was initially presented was like a form of art that’s why international viewers really adored it. But for people who’ve been watching historical dramas for so long, the writing in this is just so annoying especially the political part where they didn’t fully thresh out what happened or if they did, the impact was low considering the expectation. Still, kudos to the team for the achievements. I just hope new fans wouldn’t gloss over the actos’ other projects just because they’re stuck with PoJ. I can already see a lot of new PoJ CP fans wrecking havoc in The Best Thing and Overdo pages/edits.

It’s leaning to a BL route. The government isn’t fond of this genre and BL releases recently made the actors cancelled for some reason. If Eternal Faith will be released, it will do more harm than good especially that the actors already made a name for themselves. They filmed that when they were relatively industry rookies who kept accepting dramas offered to them for experience.

The mirroring is a dead giveaway 🌸

With how PoJ was written poorly, I’m quite scared for this drama. I hope the screenwriter has improved.

Yes. They’re kinda on the same side so they have to work together, plus she’s technically part of his army.

Yes!

More than a week has passed and it’s getting annoying hoe hard I try to help others understand the politics and the details of this drama. That just goes to show how it’s poorly written. The first part was done well, made us immerse in the story and in the art— cinematography, scoring, costumes, set design, etc. But the second half especially towards the end didn’t even give justice to how we all expected the root of the story will be well-explained. It didn’t help that Tian XiWei is so romance-averse that it showed a lot on the screen, making their intimate scenes so awkward that not even the great kisser Linghe could salvage it.
