Decently is the key word here both performed average and even the data for these dramas was pushed through cloud bookings by Yu Zheng to hit the 10k heat index mark. So it requires something extraordinary for a xianxia drama to be explosive. Last year's historical costume dramas like Legend of Zang Hai, Coroner Diary aa nd Prisoner of Beauty, Glory all are ok drama and definitely not extraordinary but they performed very well and became hits. You can include Blossom as well to that list. So I am just saying it's very hard for a xianxia drama to be a hit while historical fiction needs to be decent to ok

Yes, this should not have made at all. As I said the new generation of fans are less interested in this genre. I think majority of xianxia fans are from Eternal Love, Love & Redemption days. Remember how popular xianxia drama used to be few years ago, the last xianxia hit was legend of shenli and that was two years ago, It only gotten worse since then. Other older actress already burnt themselves doing xianxia in last few years like Yang Mi red moon pact, Liu shishi love in pavilion,Tan song yun Unclouded soul, Bai lu feud, Tiffany tang a moment but forever, Ju jingyi and Yu shuxin sword and fairy shows etc

Let's see how it does on weekends. These dramas have younger women audience, they don't like older fl younger ml relationship in dramas that are targeted to them as they find them less relatable. Think of very popular costume dramas that have this trope in recent years have all underperformed and didn't do well at all. The major ones I can remember is red moon pact,

Yes, I like noona drama trope, Find Yourself and Rational Life are very good. So it's more about what type of age gap is portrayed in dramas, I think xianxia genre is targeted towards younger audience, I am talking about like 15 to 20 years old women. So this trope won't work here as the audience can't self insert themselves and may find older female lead less relatable. This is one of the reasons, In this genre you almost always will find naive clueless child behaving like fl

Maybe but it doesn't change what I said about the current trend. It's what it is, I wanted it to be explosive hit but reality hits hard 😅. I am not blaming or questioning the quality, I was just sharing it's performance.

The trend is more important than absolute value, the current trend suggests it's not going to do much more than 27k in future, max it can reach 28k by next week which is not at all good. Obviously it can still bring some suprise, let's see the trend in weekdays but I am not optimistic

This drama trending was very poor today, it's struggled very badly today on the heat index. Xianxia/Fantasy dramas are not doing well for some time, If this drama underperforms which is looking very much likely then expect even fewer dramas from this genre in future. Historical fiction is way more popular nowadays. But don't let data get in the way of enjoying the drama, I was just sharing some info on its performance

No it's performance was not good today at all. Majority of Tencent costume dramas aired at 6 pm in recent years so we can only compare to shows like Prisoner of Beauty which aired at 12 pm and by the end of second day, it's popularity reached 28k where this show barely reached 27k. This show also started airing on weekend which boosted performance while Prisoner of Beauty started on Tuesday weekday despite that it's still finished lower and it's going to be bad from tomorrow onwards. I know it's only two days but a show like this which has a popular lead, the trend has been poor today and it's only get worse

It feels like what I said earlier is proving to be true the era of Xianxia/fantasy dramas may be fading, especially with the underperformance of Love Beyond the Grave. The fact that we have to look nearly two years back to find a major hit, like The Legend of Shen Li, says a lot. Another factor could be that younger female audiences may struggle to self insert into stories where the female lead is older, which might be affecting the show’s appeal as well.

He filmed this after when destiny bring the demon and also chinese younger audience don''t like actors to be bulky. He was called fat by chinese audience in both of his previous roles

Yes, no one can top that drama in manipulating/inflating the viewership 😂

You do realize these dramas go through a rigorous censorship review process ? No children are harmed in any form in producing cdramas

I take back my earlier comment about Love Beyond the Grave. After watching more content, I think it could actually be really good especially the production value, with the costumes looking incredible. The trailer was only average, but I’ve heard that the filter used in it won’t be present in the actual drama. Hopefully Arthur;s character will have many badass action scenes like Ever Night

After watching the short clips released by the drama team on Douyin, it’s clear that both the female and male leads have plenty of powerful, badass moments. They truly feel like two of the strongest characters in their world. Unlike many dramas that just tell you how strong a character is or list their past achievements, this one actually shows what makes them powerful and formidable.

next few months are booked, so we have to wait for few more months to get more clarity

Yes, If you like slice of life. Also you can check the summary/description above which gives a good idea about what type of this drama it is

Also another thing I have zero interest in the drama you mentioned but I am not going to that dramas comment section and announcing that

Then don't watch it, You can keep the same drama on loop until the end of time

The release trailer has generated a lot of traffic yesterday going by different charts/metrics. Expect a record breaking heat index when it arrives on 28th
