Love and Crown appears on official Weixin or WeChat account of Jiangsu TV, so it seems it will be broadcast also on Jiangsu TV (Maybe during prime time).

Can someone tell me if the drama will also be available on Youku China (not Youku International)? When I checked Youku China server, the drama When I Meet the Moon still appears there and even lists the cast names.

Will start once the cast have a clear schedule and it's already filed for filming on NRTA.

MDL can't change the poster since the current poster is currently used on iQIYI China. MDL follows the promotional poster that appears on iQIYI China since iQIYI China is the main server and main distributor of the drama.

MDL can change the poster only if the poster used on iQIYI China is changed as well.

Just to add, iQIYI already started a pre broadcast investment promotion for Q4 2025 release of speed and love.

Fake news. She’s not banned, she’s already the iQIYI International Global Ambassador. If she were banned, why would iQIYI appoint her? She also recently attended the iQIYI Conference in Thailand.

Don’t believe everything you see on overseas social media. Sometimes those posts are made out of hate and meant to spread false
information about Esther Yu.

Always check weibo for verification of all information what you see on overseas social media.

Sorry for disagreeing about using that source as a legitimate reference. I used TMDb at first, but I got a bit disappointed because the information there is often inaccurate. That’s why I switched to MDL. Sometimes that website provides incorrect drama details, wrong cast lineups, or inaccurate synopses for some C-dramas, so I’m not sure if it’s a reliable source for Chinese dramas.

Yeah, same also a few months ago in Si Jin, I kept hoping they would not change the title.

Trust the original creator.

The information about that is already here in comment section, kindly backread here in comment section and check user@Yuchen comment.

It’s not for approval; it’s for issuance. The drama was submitted for the review process a month ago, and the review process and distribution approval are two different things.

The review process focuses on censorship and content compliance, while distribution approval is the official license to release the drama. The NRTA will only grant a distribution license once the drama has successfully passed the review process. Without passing the review, a drama cannot obtain the distribution license and therefore cannot be aired.

Based on NRTA portal, the drama is still tagged as under review, so maybe by December or beginning of 2026 NRTA can approved the drama and issued a distribution approval (Distribution License).

Chang Huasen is busy on his currently filming Modern drama The Vanishing Beauty which is he is the male lead, he can't do a support role it might affect the filming progress and his schedule for the vanishing beauty.

For Clarification: They finished filming only not complete the editing (These two are different stages and not same at all).

After filming, the drama will undergo post-production and a review process by the National Radio and Television Administration (NRTA), also known as the Censorship Board. This process usually takes around 5 to 8 months to complete, and in some cases, it can take up to a year if the production team requires more time for editing or if additional reviews are needed.

After the first editing is completed (which includes cutting per episode to adjust the total runtime and episode count), the drama can then apply for the review process and distribution approval. These two are different stages. The review process focuses on censorship and content compliance, while distribution approval is the official license to release the drama. The NRTA will only grant a distribution license once the drama has successfully passed the review process. Without passing the review, a drama cannot obtain the distribution license and therefore cannot be aired.

1st Process: Censorship/Content Review
2nd Process: Distribution Approval (Distribution License)

It seems you are still new to c-drama? They need first the content review before the distribution license.

I'm confused — are these the materials for November 7 or November 8?

I checked the previous comments, and if you backread, it looks the same. Or is this something new?

The drama is rumored to air in Late November and is still early November.

Usually streaming platform don't promote the drama too early, so expect pre heating phase will start next week .

“Love and Crown” has already appeared on Youku China’s main homepage and features a pop-up window for reservations.

This feature is only available when the official release date announcement is near and the premiere day is approaching.

The drama is finished filming not long time ago and still need to undergo post production and censorship review and obtaining a distribution license, so it would take 3 to 5 months to complete the process.

Wait for official announcement in the next few days.

Not yet.

iQIYI already release it's drama list for November, but Speed and Love is not on the list.
