It may not happen because it airs on cctv
It may happen, because "Mysterious Lotus Casebook" was also airing on CCTV8 (same as "Best Choice Ever") and they realeased "Express Package". :-)

So there is still hope.

Well.. we know who are the leads in the drama.. Yang Zi and her on screen mother... like, mother scenes, please…
Not really, because unfortunately there are such mothers... So we get a glimpse into someone elses life. Only because her behaviour might be toxic, doesn't make it less real. This mother wants her daughter to carry out everything she hasn't achieved in life...

For those who are wondering when mother salvation will come and she truly understand is EP28, I know it is a long…
Either he will get fired, because he doesn't make it within the one month deadline or he will hand in a letter of resignation. I actually would like the second option better, since the character might realise, that this workplace is not what he needs.

Title Best Choice Ever Spoiler
"Yao Zhi Ming, the grandson of the grandmother" ..does this mean the leads are blood related or something ?
Mai Chenghua is not the real grand daughter. Her father is the stepson from the grandma, since MCHs grand father and the grand mother married late.

That one is the latest one,they didnt release schedule for the last 5 epi s..
That is rather strange... Okay, let's wait and see...

This schedule bothering everyone 😔
Nothing new tbh. They do that, if a drama has a good heatlevel. Since they want a higher one... An currently it is at 9965, so there might be a chance that they will hit 10.000...

WeTv and iQIYI also have changed their airing schedule on many dramas while aiting in the past.

Even if you throw out all the 1* ratings on Douban and take the average again the Douban score is actually lower,…
Some did.. They lamented that it there are many loopholes such as the first night sleeping in the old house and so on...

But still - sometimes I don't understand these ppl and ask myself what they want, since it leaves the impression, that they don't know or that they expect that every drama is on the same level. This mainly depends on the budget though...

Not only the cultural/historical inaccuracies, but the fans of the book did a lot to drag it down....

I have nothing against Plothwholes as it is a love story that would never have been possible in modern times. That's why netizens should also be realistic.

If they want to watch an accurate drama, they should stick to such dramas and watch them. If they want a drama where women take centre stage, then they should not forget that women back then had to stay at home until they were married. So to denounce a drama for historical inaccuracy is ridiculous, because then this drama wouldn't exist...

Ratings can change after it finishes airing, a judicious viewer would never rate a drama halfway watching according…
Not really, because oversease ratings aren't important when it comes to a release in China. When a drama is released only the domestic market value is important to a production company, not the oversea one. That is why, we won't be taken into account in the heat index neither.

This drama deserves a better rating in Douban, https://movie.douban.com/subject/36299980/ It has a great storyline…
I have read through some reviews on Douban and can give feedback as to why the rating is not so good.

First of all, I would like to remind you that the series was adapted from a book. For this reason, a lot of comments and negative feedback are aimed at the differences between the drama and the book. Fans of the book are very unhappy with the adaptation, as they say that the beginning in particular is unrealistic and very different from the book.
They also criticise the fact that, for example, important details are not taken into account as they would have been at the time, using the opening scene of the drama as an example, because surely no child would have climbed up the masts on a ship in that weather.
Others, on the other hand, are not thrilled that the grandmother's antipathy towards the granddaughter does not come across well and that the grandmother is too quick to embrace the granddaughter's ideas after the fall of the family.
As a result, book fans in particular tear the drama apart and give it a poor rating.

Others also complain that Hu Yitian is not suitable for historical dramas and that he is "ugly" to look at and therefore the drama is not nice to watch. But not every man in ancient times was handsome and beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Some say that the ML can't act, others say that the FL is pretty but her acting isn't good either.

Some comments are rational, some are irrational and therefore typical of netizens...

They also compare the series with "Dream of the Red Mansion" and point out whether absolutely nothing has been learnt from the drama's mistakes.
I can't say anything about the drama "Dream of the Red Mansion" because I haven't seen it.

In most reviews of the drama, the drama is compared to the book over and over again. It was clear that the book fans in particular would not be happy with this adaptation because they don't see it as the screenwriters' interpretation, but say that the book has not been done justice to.

In my opinion, you always have to differentiate between the book and its adaptation, because of course even purchased rights can only cover certain things or certain specifications were negotiated in the contracts.
We don't know the scope and content, so it's easy to play judge.
Furthermore, every adaptation is also a form of interpretation and therefore the interpretation of the screenwriters, the director as well as the actors flow into it...

It's nothing new that when readers aren't happy with the adaptation, they deliberately make sure that the rating of a drama is pulled down. Wouldn't be the first drama where it's happened.

@joana this is not so much focused on romance. I would suggest for a historical drama: Love Like the Galaxy 1&2,…
Since I am watching for almost 10 years C dramas you can drop me a message as often as you want to, if you have any kind of question. 😊

No, it's one tomorrow. Check the episode guide ;-)

I hope that Youku would do me a favour for my bday and drop two - but noooooo... ;-)

i think both are doing a good job it's just that Hua Zhi has more lines and is a more expressive character on…
He actually did improve, compared to other dramas...
Replying to Lavenderrr Apr 15, 2024
This should really be promoted more. Need more than just 5k watchers.
The heatscore in China is around 9554 so this is not that bad ;-)
Replying to khushi Apr 15, 2024
When do u think this drama is gonna end ? If we get express package ?
My thoughts exactly during the weekend XD
Replying to GraceLee Apr 15, 2024
This is a slice of life historical drama more focused on the family though it has romance too. Try Love by Hypnotic…
A Girl Like Me is also a good watch, just as My Sassy Princess. :-)
